Big City Dreams

So, my month long bucket list is coming along, slowly. I've only crossed one thing off, visiting the High Line at night, although as soon as I get back from Thanksgiving break, I have plans to cross off a few more. I've had the most fun and amazing past few days, and that only makes me more sad that this semester is coming to an end. Let's go for another list.

10 Things I will miss about living in the Bronx and being in the city:
1. You can't really ever be bored. Or at least you never have an excuse to be.
2. Public transportation makes for easy traveling when you're tired or drinking.
3. There is an endless amount of cool shops, restaurants, and places to discover.
4. Being able to see Tess and my Bronx family whenever I please.
5. I can go home at the drop of a dime.
6. You can wear whatever you want because no one will really judge you for it.
7. There is no such thing as an appropriate bed time.
8. While it gets exhausting, I pretty much play dress up for work everyday.
9. The Bronx street walkers make for some pretty interesting free entertainment.
10. David's Tea.

I mean, really, how am I going to leave? I think I was born to be a city girl. And if I've made it this far, having so much fun with no income, I can only imagine what it will be like when I'm not on a total poor girls budget.

Last night, Tess and I met up with Brett and a few of his friends and made our usual wonderful worst decisions. It was such a fun night, but I'm going to spare everyone the details. I will recommend everyone go to the Heartland Brewery, though; it's a really neat place.

I'm really looking forward to this week off that I have, and cannot wait to head to Florida to see Grandma and not freeze my butt off when I step outside! I'm pretty sure there were some flurries last night. Not really a fan of that.

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...

Dress-Up Day

Tuesday is a weird day.... I have off Monday and Wednesday, so going into work today and having off tomorrow feels pretty odd! Anyway, I once again arrived too early this morning, so I stopped at Starbucks and had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte. I have to admit, it did make me excited for fall... We had our morning meeting out on the main floor today. Nicole and Kim (two Directors) showed off the new Augusta Jones dresses which were really pretty! I also met a consultant who has been on vacation. After the meeting, Joan paired me with Rita, a consultant who has been with Kleinfeld for over 20 years. She is from Italy and there is a slight language barrier, but she was so funny and nice and kept me laughing the entire time! While there were over 70 appointments today, Rita and I only had two brides! The day was so slow for us, and therefore boring at times. I really did enjoy working with Rita, though. Because she has been with Kleinfeld for so long, she knows everything, and freely s...
