It’s been basically a week since I left NYC. I’ve spent that time visiting Kyle in Rochester (yay, Amtrak!) — and what a difference a week makes! Here are just a few of the withdrawals I’ve experienced so far (I think some might be considered more deposits than withdrawals, but you get the idea): Grocery…

Hollywood is gearing up for tonight’s Primetime Emmy Awards, where Jason Bateman is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his portrayal of Marty Byrde in Netflix’s Ozark. In honor of this very special occasion (and since I can’t be there in person to celebrate), I’ve collected my top five Jason Bateman…
This is my last week in NYC. As I've been thinking of all of the amazing things I’ve seen and done since moving here last September, I wanted to commemorate the highlights here as well. So, here is my year in NYC by the numbers: 2 jobs 5 apartments viewed in 1 afternoon before selecting…
What’s in a name? For most of us, pretty much everything. As Dale Carnegie, author of How to Win Friends and Influence People, said, “A person’s name is to him or her the sweetest and most important sound in any language.” I was named after my grandfather James (my mom’s father, who passed away before…
This month, the curtains are permanently closing on some of my favorite Broadway shows. Apparently a trend that happens every summer, with closing announcements following the Tony Awards, this just goes to show that Broadway is not just a labor of love, but also big business. The Prom – Although it only opened on Broadway…
The summer heat and humidity in NYC is the real deal, y’all. I always assumed that the farther north you go, the less heat you have to deal with (hey, I never claimed to be a meteorologist), but I was all kinds of wrong and have resigned myself to breaking a legit sweat every morning…
I heard a staggering statistic recently. Men will apply for a job if they meet 60% of the qualifications, while women will apply only if they meet 100% of them. What the what? As a woman working in the woman-dominated industry of public relations, my mind was blown. I’ve had the privilege of working with…
One morning on my walk to the subway, a lady stopped me and asked, “Is there a subway around here?” She had a heavy accent, and it took me asking her to repeat her question a few times before I even figured out that she was asking about a subway. Now because I’m still new…
I've woken up on Father’s Day three times now since I lost my dad, and I honestly can’t believe it’s been that long or that he's gone at all. In December 2016 when he passed away out of nowhere, the thought of carrying on with life as I knew it seemed impossible. I have to…
The 2019 Tony Awards are in the books, and I could not be more grateful to have been at the tippy-top of Radio City Music Hall to watch the entire event go down. It was everything I could’ve imagined, and so much more. And while my recap can’t dare do the evening justice, I’ll try…
