I have been looking forward to this coming Tuesday (July 14) since the beginning of the year. What is so special about the 14th, you ask? One of my all-time favorite TV shows, MTV’s The State, will finally be released on DVD! For those who are not familiar with the show, The State was an […]
A Digital Piano to Call My Own
Having played the piano since the age of 5, I always pictured my “grown-up” home featuring a baby grand nearside an oversized window. What I didn’t realize is that city living on a limited budget does not allow for such luxuries. Sometime last year I decided that a digital/electric piano would fit the bill. It […]
Bring on the Pain!
Back in the days when I had a lot more free time and the luxury of The Bank of Mom & Dad supporting me, I was a regular feature at my local gym. Fifteen minutes on the elliptical, thirty minutes of strength training, and another fifteen on the elliptical (or a few laps in the […]
Product Review: Jonathan Serious Volume Shampoo & Conditioner
Ever since I watched the first two seasons of Bravo’s Blow-Out, I’ve wanted to try the Jonathan line of hair products. A couple of months ago, I picked up a sample jar of Jonathan’s Dirt at my local Sephora. It was the most popular product in Jonathan’s product line and I was tempted to try […]
Comfortable Heels
Although I rarely venture out without heels, I’m ironically not that into shoes. I am much more of a bag hag than a shoe whore, and until recently never spent more than $100 on a pair of shoes. My mother stepped in to set me straight. “Shoes are so important to your health! If your […]

Book Review: Twilight
I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a Harry Potter fan. I love fantasy books as well as thrillers and mysteries. And I still hold a soft place in my heart for the young adult genre, which kept me company during those lonely nights as an awkward and socially inept teenager. So when Breaking Dawn, […]
Squarespace V5 Review
Being a blogger (albeit a relatively unknown one) in NYC with a wide web of friends and acquaintances has its perks. A few weeks ago, I was asked to be a beta tester for version 5 of Squarespace‘s web publishing platform. I remembered reading about Squarespace, but had never checked it out. It was exactly […]
The Dark Knight Review
(Disclaimer: I have tried my best to not include any spoilers for those who have not seen the movie. Enjoy!) I’m a bit late on this review, but hey, better late than never, right? I was one of the fortunate few who were able to procure a ticket to an IMAX showing of The Dark […]
Book Review: The Last Lecture
Despite the fact that I love to babble on and on in my writing, I’m a pretty reserved person in real life. I am hardly the one to wear my heart on a sleeve…heck even my voice is pretty monotone! But lately I’ve been a emotional wreck. Everything ticks me off. Sappy commercial? Eyes well up in […]
