Curious George: Let’s Get Curious Exhibit at Liberty Science Center {Ticket Giveaway Closed}

Visiting Liberty Science Center could not have come at a better time for us.  Between being off from pre-school for the past week and nursing a nasty cold that kept us cooped up, my 2 ½ year old was ready for some much-needed time to run, explore and play outside of the four walls of […]

Polenta Primer with Chef Gerri

I first met Geraldine Sarnataro – or Chef Gerri – about five years ago at The Institute of Culinary Education in Manhattan, where she teaches professional level pastry arts, culinary classes and a variety of specialty classes on bread making, pizza making and Italian home cooking. I was working as their in-house PR Manager, and she […]

For the Love of Design: Customized Facebook Cover Art  {Giveaway}

One thing I love about blogging is how it allows me to cross paths with some very cool people from my very former life in the fashion industry. As much as I enjoy being primarily home with my son and freelancing, I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t miss the collaborative process that […]

Getting Adjusted to Healthier Living

Lately, I’ve had green juice, personal training, whole foods and chiropractic care on my radar.  And it’s a goal of mine to get back into yoga before the year is over. I’ve always worked out and have tried to make good food choices — which has been difficult at times — but it’s only in […]

Fifty Strands of Gray: My Ongoing Quest for Healthy Hair {Pantene Pro-V Expert Collection Giveaway}

Over the past few years, I’ve been bewildered by them — and their trajectory — wondering where they came from, how long they’d be staying and how to get rid of them. Like unwanted houseguests, the grays have settled in.   And frankly, my hair has never been the same.  But it hasn’t always been this […]
