The past 48 hours have flown by – Matt and I started our Friday night in Atlantic City for his company’s holiday getaway, then Saturday night we made it back to New York just time for my friend Caroline’s Annual Staten Island Christmas party. Needless to say, I’m exhausted so we’re taking it easy today with seasonal movies (Matt passed out during The Grinch immediately) and take-out. We might even see the latest Star Wars movie later? Hope everyone is having a fun weekend, too!

1. This makes me want to start journaling again.

2. The new “healthiest” state actually surprised me – especially since they have the best ice cream (in my very biased opinion).

3. Vogue’s 73 Questions series continues with Sean “Diddy” Combs. I love when he talks about his family.

4.  I feel like I would live in this cozy sweater all throughout winter.

5. How cute is this embroidered wine tote for an under-$25 hostess gift?

6. These health trends for 2018 are so interesting… also, I love that “FemTech” is now a term I can add to my vocabulary.

7. These pearl-drop earrings have my name written all over them.

8. 50 wellness habits for when you don’t know where to start.

9. Considering a career pivot? These five tips will come in handy.

10. You can never go wrong with sequins for your #NYE outfit.

Since this week has been a little more crazier than most, I’m looking forward to taking it easy this morning i.e. a leisurely breakfast in bed and tons of reading – which is probably why my number of must-reads this week is near doubled!

Happy Friday, y’all!

Matt and I are headed down to Annapolis, MD this weekend to spend some time with my mom’s side of the family I’ve been visiting Annapolis for as long as I could remember – my mother and her sisters grew up here and went to school downtown (the same school where one of my aunts works now and next to the church where I was baptized!), my grandmother was raised here and my great-grandmother (who turned 102 a couple of months ago) still lives minutes from town where she use to own a tobacco farm in the early 40s.

Besides being rich in my family’s history, the city holds some of the most beautiful 18th century brick buildings and is known as the ‘sailing capital of the world.’ My own grandfather even attended the Naval Academy (which is based in Annapolis) at one point! As much as I’m exhausted from a busy week, I’m always thrilled to be back in this little city with enchanting views of sailboats on the Chesapeake Bay.

1. Coveting this nautical and navy purse.

2. 14 amazing documentaries on Netflix right now.

3. I’m all for Jess’s minimalist approach to beauty…

4. This striped linen dress is already on my favorites list for summer.

Anyone else feel like summer is flying by? Father’s Day is only a week away (Sunday, June 17th) so mark your calendars now. Father’s Day is always a tough one – my Dad is the greatest, don’t get me wrong, but if my Dad needs something, he buys it. End of story. I think last year he wanted me to make him a homemade card (since I excelled at art when I was younger)… however, I would like to step it up this year to spoil him.

Here are a few clever gift ideas this year:

Retro Smart Speaker | Golf BBQ Set | Meat Bouquet | Travel Book

Monogrammed Decanter Set | Cube Grill (also in three other colors!)

Mini Ice Cream Maker | Tickets to see his favorite sports team play or musician perform!

What are you getting your dad for Father’s Day this year?

I can list all of the reasons why I love this season, but it may be much to long to read in a single post. I will say I’m over-the-moon for cozy layers and the colorful foliage – fingers crossed that when I’m New England in two weeks that I’ll get to do some leaf peeping! This weekend Matt and I are visiting his family, so I’m relishing quality time with people I adore while catching up on homework and some neglected laundry.

Happy Sunday!

This week was packed with work, school and a little bit of spontaneous fun. On Thursday, Matt and I took a break from reality and went to the soft opening of Bury the Hatchet in Brooklyn. Yes, that’s right, an axe throwing bar. And honestly? It was awesome (!) A thrill and adrenaline rush all at the same time. We practiced a bit – it’s all about your footing – before competing with some other groups where we both landed multiple bullseyes. We finished with drinks at the Wythe Hotel overlooking the Manhattan lights. Yesterday, we were back in Brooklyn cheering on the Gators, visiting with friends and just enjoying the day (despite the crazy weather). The rest of the weekend will be spent taking it easy – hopefully with a few Halloween movies or two.
