A Super Shot of NSYNC NYC Nostalgia

While I waited outside the Good Morning America studios in Times Square almost a year ago to stake out a pre-work Jason Bateman sighting as he promoted the final season of Ozark, I had a lot of time to myself and my thoughts during those wee morning hours. As I listened to Smartless to set…

Breaking my blogging drought

Happy New Year! Hard to believe it’s already February, and I’m just now sitting down to reflect on my 2022. It’s my own fault, of course…there’s always something happening somewhere in NYC, and it’s hard not to get caught up in the constant FOMO of it all. So this year, one of my goals is…

Taylor Swift by Candlelight

At this point, I’d label myself a Swiftie. Taylor Swift definitely has my heart. Not only are her melodies catchy little earworms, but she’s also such a phenomenal lyricist.

Jimmy Fallon & Seth Meyers & Children’s Books, Oh My!

TV Taping Tickets 101: How to See Your Favorite Talk Shows for Free

Seven years ago this week, I was here in NYC on vacation and knocking so many firsts off my bucket list — devouring the famous cronut, witnessing my first real snowfall, enjoying NYC pizza, seeing my first Broadway shows and attending my first TV talk show tapings. It was a trip I’ll never forgot for…

It’s time to talk about the SmartLess shows

If you’ve been following my adventures, you know this weekend was essentially my Super Bowl. I may be utterly exhausted, but my heart is bursting with joy. And unlike the actual Super Bowl, everyone’s a winner. The weekend was such a whirlwind that it’s all starting to blur together and the individual stories from each…

‘Tis the season to binge a season

You made it through the work week – and to quote ‘NSYNC quoting Johnny Kemp, “Just got paid, it’s Friday night.” Since we’re spending almost all of our time at home, there’s really nowhere to go waste away your paycheck…So, where are you spending your weekend? Personally, I’ve found myself spending more time than exploring…
