boston-bloggers-celebrate-womens-history-month

Did you know the month of March is earmarked as Women’s History Month? A whole month dedicated to women is obviously a giant “Heck, yes!” for me. Now, I realize that at this point there’s a national day or month for pretty much everything (not joking- National Grilled Cheese Day was a few weeks ago. How is that even a thing?!), but this is one national “something or other” I was not going to let pass by. So, in keeping with the spirit of all things Wear You Are Now #ladytribe, I organized a group shoot with some…

WHAT DIANE KEATON (and my friends) TAUGHT ME ABOUT BEAUTY

The first time I fell in love with Diane Keaton was the first time I saw The Godfather. The second time I fell in love with Diane Keaton was when I saw Annie Hall. My obsession with her turtlenecks and open crisp white button downs arrived when she appeared in Something’s Gotta Give (and subsequently sent my mother and I on a permanent hunt for the perfect “Diane Keaton” shirt). And my appreciation for her quirkiness arrived when she starred in Because I Said So. This woman, who undoubtedly tops my favorite actress list, has been inspiring me one…

NOT BUYING IT: MY MONTH WITHOUT SHOPPING

WHAT I KNOWI once read that to be a good writer, you should write what you know. This is what I know: I gave up shopping for the month of February.I’m 31 years old and as much as I try to be self-aware of my own spending habits, I can’t live without gourmet coffee and new jeans. Sometimes when I’m running late, I’m too lazy to take the subway and I call an Uber. I never leave Target without buying a bag of things that can only be described as a “boredom mood…

WEAR I AM: 5 THINGS I’M LOVING RIGHT NOW

You know how when you stumble upon something cool and new, you immediately text all of your friends to say “OMG, we have to go here!” or “You have to try to this blablabla. You are going to lose your mind. It’s life changing!” This is like that. But in blog form. Read on to learn what I’m majorly crushing on right now. 1.

IS EVERYONE LISTENING TO PODCASTS WITHOUT ME?

Short answer: YES.It’s been brought to my attention- by pretty much everyone I know- that I’ve seriously been missing out on the podcast front. I can’t really give you a reason why I haven’t ever listened to any. I know they’re educational and impactful, and in a lot of instances shed light on so much that is happening politically and socially in our world today- which I am ALL FOR. If I’m being honest, I think I felt overwhelmed and didn’t really know where to begin. How do you know what’s…

I KEPT A GRATITUDE JOURNAL. HERE’S WHY.

Hi guys! I feel like I owe you all an apology for being a pretty bad friend the last two weeks. I know I’ve been a tad absent, and for good reason. Life has been a bit nuts for my family, as we’ve been navigating an unplanned and somewhat difficult health matter for one of my parents. I’ve been struggling to find a way to balance being honest and forthright about what’s happening in my life- you all know how much I believe in making this space a place where we can all be open about…

BEANTOWN’S 5 BEST COFFEE SPOTS

One of my favorite things about exploring a new city is trying out new coffee shops. There’s no better way to get a handle on the local scene or to enjoy some prime people watching, if you ask me. In truth, my love for coffee is big and bold and strong (much like how I prefer my brews) and I make it a rule to apply this philosophy on all of my travels.For those of you who don’t know me personally, I officially moved to Boston over two years ago (time flies!) and my love for this…
