Okay, I promise this isn’t a post just to bitch about “why guys just say the dumbest things,” blah, blah, blah.

Stroke of Midnight: Welcome 2013
Wow, is it really 2013 today? When I was younger, growing up in the 90′s (the good old days), I used to refer to the far-away future by saying something like “…yeah, maybe in 2013″ as if it was unimaginable to even think I’d be alive to see a year that far away. Realistically, it … Continue reading »
Foprah Meets Anderson Cooper
So, it happened again: I met another one of my idols today — and it was nuts! It all started when I came across a website a couple of weeks ago that listed live shows that taped in NYC with free tickets. Since I moved here in May, I’ve wanted to take more advantage of … Continue reading »
On the Move: Buddy Boy Movers to the Rescue
If there was one thing I hated almost more than anything else (although — I’m sure grocery shopping is a close tie), it’s moving. The whole process couldn’t be more stressful: the looking for a new place, signing forms and leases (and that’s just the beginning!), packing boxes, throwing out and donating things, and then of … Continue reading »

Pictures From Governors Island, NY
Reblogged from Photography by Foram: Hello, all! So, I just made a big move from Texas to New York City, and I have been dying to get my camera out to take some pictures of the great sights out here. I do a lot of portrait photography, but eventually I have an ambitious project to … Continue reading »
NYC GreenFlea Market: 2 Stalls You Have to Stop At
For those of you who know me (or have seen any of my previous blog posts) know that I absolutely love vintage finds. Last time I was in New York, I had the privilege of digging up some great stuff at a flea market that I’m still getting compliments for to this day. So, naturally — it … Continue reading »
My First Week in NYC and a Pocketful of Finds
Last Friday, May 18, I made a very stressful move to New York City from Texas. We’re talking two 50 lb suitcases, a carry-on suitcase that was probably dangerously close to about 35 lbs., and a “purse” that was actually a tote bag that housed my purse, laptop, Nikon DSLR camera, Flip blogging camera, another … Continue reading »
