Travel Diary: Wedding in Wine Country
Ray and I made our way to Sonoma County, Healdsburg to be exact, for the D+D wedding! Healdsburg is just about 1.5 hours north from San Francisco so before hopping on the road, we grabbed dinner at Ha Nam Ninh. The popular dish at this Vietnamese establishment is #25 dry topped with a fried egg
First Look: Saje Wellness in SoHo
I must have stumbled across Saje Wellness while browsing Instagram — their wellness images of essential oils drew me in! I’ve been interested in essential oils for a few years now; I diffuse them, wear them on my pressure points, and you can often find me carrying around a vial or two to aid me
Big Little Lies Paint Night
To celebrate the digital release of Big Little Lies, HBO invited Ray and I to pick up a brush and paint a scenic image inspired by Big Little Lies at The Painting Lounge. We went step by step into the makings of the Monterey beach scene we’d be recreating, tunes from the show’s soundtrack filled the
We Got Married in New York City
This post is picture heavy! Let it load & listen to this while you go through it 🙂 It was the song I walked down to! I can happily say that I’ve been married for one month! I’m still riding on that ‘wedding-bliss’ and I’m so thrilled to finally be able to share pictures from
Our Wedding Day Preview
I can’t believe it’s been a week since Ray and I said our “I do’s” surrounded by family and friends in Central Park. Our wedding day couldn’t have gone any better and the weather held up nicely for our ceremony. I’m so excited to share our day with you once we receive our wedding photos
Maybelline’s Color Sensational Shaping Lip Liners
This post is sponsored by Maybelline. All opinions expressed are my own. Warmer weather is right around the corner for us New Yorkers! Its a fun scene to see once the slightest of warm weather hits; people dine al fresco, the fashion changes from coats to shorts and dresses, and people generally look happier. My
I Broke Up With ClassPass
For a little over a year I was a ClassPass member. I namaste‘d, boxed, barre’d, and reformed my way through 169 classes. Every day I had the option to pick a work out from a range of studios; a majority of the times I picked the work out based on how I was feeling. ClassPass
Travel Diary: Weekend Getaway to San Diego
Ray and I recently got the opportunity to travel out to San Diego where we got to spend some time with family, check out the San Diego Zoo, and road trip up to LA. We were lucky with the weather we received when we were in town; bright & sunny in the mid 70’s! I’d
Engagement Anniversary at Disney World
It was only appropriate that Ray and I celebrate the anniversary of our engagement at Disney World – so we planned a last-minute trip to the place we were exactly one year ago. By last minute, I mean we planned our Disney trip a week out from the actual trip. We got lucky with snagging
Bullet Journaling: The Basics + Getting Started
I used a planner all throughout college. I depended on it to keep my multiple schedules on track (classes, internship(s), and work) and as a reminder for important deadlines. After I had graduated and started working, I found that having a planner wasn’t necessary considering that my day-to-day schedule was more or less the same
