It’s been quite a while since I’ve given a life update here on GML, huh?
If you follow me on social media you’ve probably seen most of what I’ve been up to, so I’ll spare you from sharing all the recaps 😉 But here are a few things going on that I’m pretty excited about that I wanted to share with you.
1) I’ve taken on a larger role at NYC Collective.
For the past 8 months I’ve been the Social Media Director at NYC Collective, but I’m now transitioning into a Managing Director role, and I couldn’t be more excited about it. I can’t wait to step into bigger responsibilities like creating campaigns, building new programs, and managing our team. And as if my schedule couldn’t get any more flexible, this actually frees me up even more to focus on some new (and existing) projects I’ve been putting to the side.
2) Speakable got a little makeover.
…in the form of a new upper case font, at least 🙂 What do you think? I’m personally in love with this new look.
(p.s. if you’re interested in placing a holiday order, be sure to do so by November 30th!)
3) Without fail, I re-fall in love with the city every autumn.
You guys - there is absolutely nothing like New York City in the fall. If you ever plan a visit here, try to make it in October or November! The past few weeks have been full of so many fun and exciting adventures. Even something as simple as riding bikes through Central Park over the weekend pretty much made my heart explode (I’m dramatic though, what can I say? :))
4) Speaking of re-falling in love with the city, on Monday I paid a visit to Asanda Spa Lounge in Soho for a full afternoon of pampering. They were generous enough to gift me with a massage, facial, pedicure AND blowout! I felt like a queen all day, to say the least.
For those of you in NYC (or visiting for the holidays), I couldn’t recommend Asanda Spa more. I’ve been to a handful of spas and salons in New York, but few of them have such a full list of service offerings. If you’re interested in going yourself OR getting someone a gift, you can email info@asandaspa.com to book and use promo code ‘GML20’ for 20% off!
5) Yesterday I made my Snapchat public and asked you guys to shoot me a quick hello - and it seriously made me SOOO happy to see your faces! I think that’s such a fun way to stay in touch with my readers, so go ahead and say hello by snapping me at “alagracie.”
6) On that same note - I want to hear from you! I’d love to do some Q&A posts or something like that over the next few weeks. Also - what are your thoughts on holiday gift guides? I feel like they’ve been so overdone, but I’m open to it…

What’s been a highlight of your week/month so far?
so many great things happening for you! love to follow your ventures and best of luck in this new role with NYC Collective. i also adore NYC in the fall and was in Central Park with the boy last Sunday (it was his first time there, like, EVER…i KNOW!) and it was so lovely.
fall in nyc is the BEST!
i just booked a treat yo self day at mario badescu spa for sunday and i’m SO excited. it will definitely be the highlight of my month.
ooo I’ve never heard of that spa, will have to check it out! For research purposes, of course 😉 haha
I looove that warrior necklace! definitely a gift i’m putting on my list this year.
and I like holiday gift guides, for men! sometimes guys are so hard to buy for, especially my boyfriend who is super simple, and my dad who seems to have everything. eesh! 🙂
Yay! 🙂 Yeah I hear you about getting gifts for guys - it’s always a struggle haha. I don’t know if I’ll get around to making a gift guide for that BUT I’m sure there will be a ton on the blog-o-sphere!
Ahh, the trip to the spa sounds like it must have been wonderful! Also, the backdrop of the photo of you with your friends is absolutely beautiful! The fall foliage is incredible.
There truly is no place like NYC in the fall! Looks like you are stay busy, Gracie! Congrats on your new role at your company!
Thanks so much Stacie!
