what i learned this weekend, part 3.

Christmas cookies – although really fun to give - are one of those things that I’d kinda sorta rather receive.

On that same note, I seem to have formed a habit of matching every Christmas present I buy for someone with a gift for myself. But I’ve been a pretty good girl this year so it’s totally [...]

now i get it.

Last night I tweeted this and got quite the response, to say the least.

Turns out that Tebow is a “who.” He also happens to be quite easy on the eyes and a nice Christian man.

How could I have been so ignorant?! I’m sorry, [insert whatever your first name is here] Tebow. Maybe we can talk it [...]

eucerin giveaway.

I may not be an expert when it comes to beauty products, but I am…oh, what would you call it…a moisturizing freak?

Yup, I really am that cool.

Years ago I read somewhere about how important lotion and moisturizer is when it comes to avoiding wrinkles and keeping skin looking as good/young as possible, so I’ve been a [...]

only girl in the world, part 5.

…who doesn’t get the obsession with Adele.

…who has had a guy ask for her email address at the club. It was awkward.

…who thinks it’s perfectly normal to tell her new neighbors that they’re “going to be like, BFFs!” That was awkward too.

…who was never a huge fan of Sex and the City, and actually found it [...]

well this made my day.

I was in PA yesterday for our company holiday party. My boss was short one Christmas card, so I insisted I didn’t need one.

He insisted I did.

…Daddy’s girl, much?

you know it’s almost christmas when…

…the month of December feels like it’s flying by as fast as the Kardashian-Humphries marriage.

…you can watch the same movies for the ten-billionth time.

…every time you see something you want while shopping, you justify not buying it because it will just “go on your Christmas list.”

…cookies officially become the 6th (and best) food group.

…you suddenly feel [...]

what i learned this weekend, part 2.

Apparently we’re “a force to be reckoned with.” We don’t agree but, thanks…?

Chicken Pad Thai from Room Service never. gets. old.

New Year’s Eve was…cute. But that’s about it.

You don’t need a MySpace page to take cheesy mirror shots with your friends.

Despite the crowds, there’s nothing like Macy’s Herald Square during the holidays to get you in [...]

blue valentine.

Last night I watched Blue Valentine.

(Slight spoiler after the picture. You’ve been warned.)

It was a beautiful film. I laughed, I cried…and then felt lame for being “that girl” who was laughing and crying.

The chemistry between Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling was insane! The parts of the movie where they were ridiculously in love made me realize [...]

want to party with us on nye?

Wow, that sounds so lame…just pretend I didn’t say it.

But seriously, do ya wanna???

I figured I’d ask since I already seem to be into this whole “promoting NYC events” lately, ahem…

The girls and I always have fun when we go to The Griffin. The venue is beautiful, the music is perfect, and the people are FUN!

After [...]
