I don’t know about you, but sometimes, I wish I could “un-know” things. You know what I mean? Like, I wish I didn’t know some of the things I do. I wish I could un-learn them. Un-see them. Like Justin Timberlake with cornrows. Or the girl from the movie, The Ring. That disturbing image will foreverContinue reading Un-Know
Guys. I’ll admit: I’m pretty “basic.” Granted, I don’t drink Starbucks, and Uggs are not my footwear of choice, but I definitely can relate to the stereotype, probably more than I’d like to admit. Like my affinity for Audrey Hepburn. Now, to be fair, I never saw Breakfast at Tiffany’s, but hey — I likeContinue reading Find Me in the Garden
I’m angry tonight. I am angry because I have been brutally reminded that I am not invincible. I received a comment (which has since been deleted) that taunted me to revisit and reexamine my disordered thoughts when I was deep in my anorexia. The commenter prodded me to describe exactly the allure of anorexia –Continue reading I Am Not Invincible

Now I feel prepared to take on this topic. Allow me to set the stage: Saturday night. 4 am. The sun is just starting to rise and theContinue reading V Card
I’m going to be really honest with y’all. Growing up, I thought my life was going to have played out a lot differently by now. I thought I was going to be married at 22, first kid at 23, and…I wanted ten…so…you do the math. I know. I know. I had high ambitions for my wombContinue reading Plans
So. This weekend was kind of a…break through of sorts for me. A new experience. A freeing feeling. Drumroll please……… I wore perfume. For me. Womp. Womp. I know, I know. If you were expecting something earth shattering, I apologize for the gross letdown. But just hear me out. I wear Ralph by Ralph Lauren.Continue reading Perfume
One of my favorite things to do in NYC is just wander around. Especially now that it’s warm out, I like to just put on my sun hat and get lost for a few hours on a Saturday. There’s never a lack of things to do or explore. Like just the other day, I happened upon aContinue reading The Self Help Sham
