Apple Cider Short and Sweet

Red Jacket Orchards Apple Cider. Have it and you will never want to drink anything else, ever. Holy cow... Now all I need are sweet potato pancakes and Dad's peanut butter cinnamon mix. It's really feeling like fall!

This morning, I made a rare, quick decision on my tea for the day, and went for Pumpkin Chai, since I've been thinking about it for a while. It was really tasty, but I did feel like I wanted to stir it with a cinnamon stick or something for a warmer flavor. I also bought one of the dark chocolate and flax breakfast cookies, which is becoming an addiction as well, and convinced another tea drinker to try it... That should mean a free tea for me again, right?

Today, I was paired to work with Barbara, who I haven't been with before. The day was pretty bland, to be honest, but Barbara only stays until 5, so I got to get out after only four appointments! That was a nice treat. None of our appointments said "yes" to a dress; they all had lower budgets and most of the dresses Barbara chose to pull were above their price points. I enjoy working with consultants I've never worked with before, though, because everyone pulls different dresses, and it's nice to "meet" new ones when working with a different consultant.

For whatever reason, my mind started wandering, and I had the most sentimental train ride back to the Bronx. I wish I had more exciting things to say, but unless I make something up, that's about it! I'm watching Parenthood then heading off to bed, and enjoying every single second of my apple cider. Really, though, try it. It can be found at Whole Foods!

Here's a picture of me and my family that I was looking at today and feel like sharing... Miss them every second!

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.
