This is legit one of my favorite little segments to write. I’m not a big drinker but I love how pretty some cocktails look, and it’s always fun to search the Interwebs looking for a pretty, seasonal one to share with you all. This week’s selection – a perfectly wintery cocktail: The Brandy Alexander. I […]

Living Your Dreams & Millennial Entitlement
There has been so much written lately about living/following your dreams, “turning your passion into a career,” etc. Seriously – this morning alone I’ve read articles on three separate sites [1, 2, 3] on the topic – all aimed, seemingly, at the millennial entrepreneur. And so, I felt a bit inspired. After all – I’m writing again. […]
Keep Your New Year’s Resolution – Yoo Review
We’re nearly half way through January (can you believe it?!) and this is the point of the year where New Year’s Resolutions start to fly out the window. Suddenly, the momentum of the first week is gone and it’s so easy to let – well, life – get in the way. The Yoo Challenge is […]

Wedding Wednesday | Rhode Island Monthly’s ‘Engaged’
It’s [very late on] Wedding Wednesday, but I just wanted to take a moment to share some news with you. A whiiiile back (sometime in April, I think) I signed on to blog for Rhode Island Monthly’s Engaged magazine – their annual wedding special issue. Basically, roughly once per week I’m blogging all things wedding […]
Lust or Bust | Ralph Russo Couture Wedding Gown
Do you want to see the prettiest wedding gown ever? I mean – this thing is stunning. The way it moves is kind of mesmerizing… and it also took 3,900 hours to make and is so costly (both in time and money) that the design house – Ralph Russo – will only make one per country. […]
Wedding Wednesday | Engagement Photos, Part 1
Our engagement photos are coming up this weekend, and all I can say is… how random. On the one hand, it feels kind of like being back in school for picture day (What will I wear? What if my hair doesn’t cooperate?!), and on the other it’s one of these wedding moments that make the […]
Desk Perfection
So this whole working from home thing is amazing… except for all the times that it isn’t. It’s not that I don’t love being my own boss and setting my own schedule (I do!), it’s just that – well – sometimes I get a little sick of being inside my apartment. And that’s the thing – […]
Cocktail Hour | Blueberry Mojito
I don’t know what the weather’s doing where you are, but here in Rhode Island it’s just about summer! As I write this I’ve got the air conditioner running. Although, it isn’t because it’s particularly hot… it’s because it’s doing that awesome Southern New England thing where it’s just insanely humid for no good reason […]
