Hey friends— 

 

If you know me, then you know I've been sharing for awhile that I've been itching to leave NYC for another city. I've lived most of my life in Queens, NY, apart from my college years and some work years that had me traveling monthly to Munich and London. I loved it. I love being on a plane or even an airport. NYC has felt stagnant for me (and a lot of folks) as of late. 

 

My friend Lisa asked me if I had a NYC bucket list and the truth is I don't. I know I take for granted living in this city but nothing has compelled me to make a list. But if putting one together and working my way through it helps me manifest a life outside NYC, so be it! ✈️

 

One thing I've never done is walk the length of Central Park and back, so this weekend I did just that—started at 59th and walked up to 110th and looped around back to Columbus Circle, with some wine pit stops along the way. 

 

Another thing? A pizza crawl! I have my favorite local spots but I've never been to Lucali's or the other popular spots. 🍕

 

Shoes On. Eyes Open.

Y'all—this was absolute trash. I don't usually share shows I hate but this was an utter waste of time. You've been warned! Nicole Kidman and Ray Donovan on screen together and this is what y'all came up with it? Throw it away. 🗑️🚮

 

I won't even bother to link out to it!

nothing to see here 🍿

     Gonna add Tadhanà to my list of spots to check out! 🇵🇭

     Perhaps a controversial take but I think our community can appreciate this since most of you have such a unique and personal sense of style. But I'm so tired of seeing Cartier love bracelets and Van Cleef jewelry. What happened to individual style? I'm absolutely in love with this jewelry brand that carries the most exquisite pieces with nods to historic and ancient artifacts. This was meant for nerds like me. If you're gonna drop that kinda $$$$. why not snag a unique & one of kind piece! ✨

We're lISTENING TO—

 

I was just complaining to someone a few weeks back about how we don't get enough guitar strumming or riffs in music today but listening to this track made everything better today. 😌🎸

 

Yes, my music taste is eclectic but I'm not sure how this country artist found their way onto my playlist. Country music is not really my jam yet I'm loving this track and I think it's because it giving more of a blues vibe. It came out 2 years ago but it's new to me. And just wait for 1:52 onwards. Sheesh! Having Al Green follow this track on my playlist just makes sense. Need to go a blues show ASAP.

 

Blues vibes ✅

Vocals ✅

Strings ✅

 

And I hope my friend Ari is reading this because the album title is The Man from Waco—her hometown if I'm not mistaken. 🥰
