I’ve realized over the years, that I’ve developed many of the sane characteristics and interests from my father. One of the major would be our love of nature, especially water. As beach lovers, I often wake up and tag along with my father for his before sunrise beach days. My father loves the ocean, while I…
Christmas in New York City
There really is something just so magical about New York City during Christmastime. If you’ve never had the chance, it’s a must, especially if you love this time of year. The beauty you see in movies, it’s all there, of course with thousands of people among you, but that’s what adds to its magic. I’ve been lucky…
Traveling to…New York City|Part II
For the past two weeks I’ve been lucky enough to have a few cousins from Portugal visiting because of our cousin’s wedding. These past few days, after the wedding hype and excitement, we toured as much of the surrounding area that we could. I am pooped out from being a tour guide, but it was…

It’s my first full day in Portugal, so naturally this week would’ve consisted mostly of prepping for a three-week vacation in another country, but it was quite the opposite. Summers in Portugal are a much easier trip to pack than fall or winter, choosing clothes is quite easy for me. The week instead consisted of…

You couldn’t ask for a more perfect first week of summer, and way to end the work week that seemed to drag on. The sun is shining brightly over the Hudson River as boats sail by, and the desire to be outside is just too much for me to contain. Entering back into the corporate world…
NYC Dining {Dessert}

These are bakeries, small cafes and speciality spots that have been getting recognition through the baking and blogging world. Of course, I follow their Instagram, drooling over their pie perfections and pretty Macarons, especially from the Laduree in Soho, and…
NYC Dining {Cocktails}
Before moving to Tucson, I did research on places my roommate and I should dine at, being we love food and the experience of going out to eat. It’s also the best recommendation to become familiar when living in a new city. It was one of my favorite pastimes when I lived out West, and I…

This week was an energy filled rejuvenation. It feels amazing waking up early each morning with the sun. Now that I’ve been redecorating my room, it has so much of the bright natural light, I love so much. I’ve also begun oil pulling, and let me tell you, I’m hooked! It may seem weird at…
NYC Dining
What I miss most about living out west, aside my the amazing weather, was the culinary scene and the amazing and comfortably chic restaurants serving up fresh ingredients with unique takes. Living so close to New York City, I have the opportunity and advantage to explore some of the world’s best spots for food. And…
Traveling to…Hoboken
There was an unexpected warm breeze in the air the days before Christmas, which I couldn’t help but take advantage of this freak spring weather by bringing my grandparents to one of my favorite cities, Hoboken. The history, the scene, the people, activities and eateries for all fancy, and the irreplaceable New York City skyline…
