Hello Dog Mamas and Papas!

Are you doing right by your canine bestie and making sure they see the Vet?

Listen, in NYC, a vist to the Vet is something I always dread because I know the bill will be no less than $450! I could feed and clothe SEVEN Frida's for a month (if not longer) for that price! It’s obviously beyond expensive here BUT I won’t skimp on Frida’s health…esp with her being a senior Chihuahua. She's 11 years young but in wonderful shape--and I'd like to keep it that way.

I found this pic of an adorable house I viewed back in September, owned by hippies in Connecticut, and I thought, I should really write about my home search. Obviously it's a trending topic as there's less inventory than EVER right now during a thriving seller's market. But I see it as a comedy of sorts coming from the warped and spoiled experiences of a New Yorker. In case you didn't know, we ALL think New York City is the center of the world. ('Cause IT IS.)

You don’t really know your mom until she loses her mom. I learned this last summer as we struggled through not being able to attend my grandmother’s funeral in Honduras. I was in New York when it happened, while the rest of my immediate family was in St. Louis together. A few weeks later, as soon as I could, I went to visit and spend some time with my mom. She cried, recounted memories, and claimed she'd been prepared for it as my Grandma's health had been rapidly declining.

This is one of my favorite desserts EVER that I once had at a fancy New York City Italian restaurant, and decided to recreate at home. I couldn't believe that a dessert so delicious and sophisticated could be so easy to make. It really doesn't take much effort to make and you'll barely need these instructions but I'm hoping I can steer you in the right direction as far as making some critical choices for this Strawberries and Balsamic Glaze Dessert! Read my recommendations below and watch this 1-minute video tutorial! And please, like it and comment if you enjoy it :)

It was bound to happen. As you know, fashion is constantly cycling and evolving. Athleisure, which in many ways became pandemic-wear, has now morphed into a more elegant version of itself called Athflow. Curious what the differences are? How it will affect you pandemic / work-from-home wardrobe? Keep reading!

I'm not a makeup artist but I really love doing my makeup now that I know how to play up (and down) certain features that make me look my absolute best. The Kardashians made contouring famous, but the internet made contouring EASY! Here are my favorite ways to contour, including my best advice on what products to use and how to artistically blend everything together (this is actually a very KEY part of it).
