A Rather Boring Post...

Today was the perfect day off! I slept in, and after working out and making breakfast, it was around 12 o'clock. Whoops. I enjoyed the most delicious, self-made breakfast burrito for lunch and chatted with Camelia for a while. She was telling me about her family (she is one of 11) and mentioned her Grandmother, who had 19 children. 19?! I can't even... Speaking of children, Cynthia had her baby today! Madison was born at 7 pounds on the dot and 21 inches long. I can't wait to meet the little peanut!

Anyway, after writing my research paper proposal that is part of the requirement for the NYC program, I headed over to Modern to do some much needed food shopping. While I was there, I found the cutest gourds and mini pumpkins that were only $1.79 a pound! Needless to say, I purchased way more than necessary, but I couldn't help myself. They were all so adorable and fun, and my room is now happily decorated for fall.

On my way back from Modern, I stopped at Tino's for some much needed gelato. Every girl deserves that after she works out, right? Anyway, afterwards I spent about two hours slaving over sweet potato black bean burgers that I made from scratch, but it was totally worth it; they came out delicious! I also made frozen fruit and yogurt bars which were so simple and so good. I took Chobani Greek yogurt (vanilla flavored with chocolate slivers), and threw that in a glass dish with blueberries and strawberries, and topped it with banana. Freeze the bars and cut them before they're too hard.

I managed to finish all of my homework that was due today, and even saw a black squirrel on the way to class. I tried to snap a picture without being too obvious, and then the thing nearly ran across my feet!

Tomorrow morning, I have to go into work early, because a few of us are being put into dresses for a product knowledge meeting. On Monday, I volunteered to go into work for filming, and will be pretending to be a bride, since the store is usually closed Mondays, and they need it to look busy. I'm assuming someone who is somewhat high profile is coming in for a dress, because I have no other idea why they would film on Monday, but I guess I'll find out. If anyone feels like spending their day at Kleinfeld, let me know, we can bring guests!

Travel Guide: Barbados

Hi ya'll! Welcome to Friday. Amen, we've made it. In the beginning of February, I was lucky enough to escape the snowy cold of NYC (seriously, I missed a big snow storm that closed down my office), and headed to the beautiful island of Barbados. For those of you who know the name but can't point it out on a map, Barbados is a little island just southeast of Saint Lucia in the Caribbean. Brett's parents, Laura and Jim, vacationed to Barbados last year and were SO beyond kind enough to ask us to join them this year. A week away from work, a tropical island without sharks, and free tour guides (aka Brett's parents) -- who would say no to that?! For anyone looking to book a vacation, or anyone looking to torture themselves with really pretty pictures of a really pretty place, see below for a Barbados travel guide! The island was truly amazing, with friendly locals, beautiful beaches, and delicious cuisine, and I would absolutely return! I'm usually ready to ...

Closing the Chapter: Farewell to Astoria (and the Whole30)

Hi all! Happy weekend ~ I feel like my week days are getting longer and my weekends are getting shorter, but at least the sun has been shining, which means Summer is almost here! After a big internal debate, I decided to end my Whole30 three days early and treated myself to wine and cashew milk icecream Friday night. Caity and I took advantage of the nice weather and met up for dinner, and after that, I just kept going. A teeny part of me wishes I held out the last few days, and the other part of me doesn't regret it even one little bit. When I made the decision to begin the Whole30 (while I was vomiting into a garbage can in my kitchen with the stomach virus), I had hopes that I would learn what foods bothered my digestive system. Throughout the past 30  27 days, I have learned a ton of self control when it comes to eating (I used to have this, and then it all went away...), and have become aware of how much sugar is unnecessarily added into just about everything we eat. Becau...

Return of the Snob

Today was the day of big, beautiful rings. Each of our four brides today had huge rocks on their fingers, and were all so unique! I spent a good 20 minutes when I got home looking at engagement rings online, then decided my future fiancée really has a tough decision ahead. Anyway, I still have a few years before I need to worry about that. This morning, I woke up early and headed into Manhattan to do some food shopping at Trader Joe's before work. I found this yummy looking pumpkin butter, and I'm excited to try it with breakfast tomorrow morning! At work, Nicole gave us a say on who we were going to be paired with for the day (with some restriction) and I volunteered to work with Renee, since I noticed she was with a bride who we had the last time I worked with her. The bride, who we'll call Jenna (I can't remember what I named her last time) had selected a simple Pnina gown when she came about a month ago, but returned to Kleinfeld with a few doubts in her mind. S...
