And Then Loreal Paris Ambushed Me
So I’m walking through Bryant Park, minding my business, when a rep from Loreal Paris approached me. “Hi! Would you be willing to answer a couple of questions in exchange for a free sample?!” “umm sure” What I realized, a brief second later, that this interview would be on camera… I was assured it was…
Read MoreWicked Snow
This is a random mishmash of stuff that happened this week. First, Husband got me tickets to Wicked for my birthday. This is the 2nd Broadway show I’ve seen and it was awesome. Broadway shows amaze me. The talent is amazing, the sets blow me away and I always wonder how these people can keep…

When my friend was visiting, we did every tourist ‘thing’ you can imagine. This included going to the top of the Empire State building. It was gorgeous. But it took us 2 hours to get there. First we started in a line outside. Then a line inside. Then a line to get into security. Then…

I took the pups to Central Park this morning. We usually go to Riverside park because its closer and it has a dog run but I wanted to switch it up. Plus, in the 1.5 months I’ve been here, I have yet to venture to Central Park which I’m pretty sure is a sin in…
Read MoreCanal Street and a Long Lost Cousin
My 2nd cousin, Teresa, came down from her home upstate to visit the city. We haven’t seen each other in about 15 years (or so. we aren’t actually sure). We met at Bryant Park which has a really awesome Christmas market and an ice skating rink. It really wasn’t that crowded either. The shops are…
