  • Cannabis for the Holiday Seasons

    My favorite part of every holiday is eating followed by a smoke digestif. I usually prepare the joint right after cleaning the dishes, but before the dessert. Having found different ways of experiencing cannabis, there’s pleasure in the intention behind the smoke. So, this holiday season, enjoy the lag time where the celebration takes a…

  • It’s always a relief with Theramu.

    Over the last couple of years, I’ve been looking for different ways to ditch my need for prescription medication.

  • What’s Happening? W Hotels New York

    It’s Winter… ok, it’s actually Fall but feels like Winter, and that means all activities for me need to be inside and accompanied by drinks that can warm (i.e. liquor) or are warm (i.e. tea, coco, or hot liquors). Otherwise, I’ll be tucked away hibernating in socks with Netflix on repeat. But, I don’t want…

    Last week, I had a friend date with a pal I hadn’t seen in eons. This dude and I used to be two peas in pod, but with life getting in the way, it has been difficult to nail dates down. Anyway, we finally made plans and hit up Tartinery in Nolita. Tartinery is a…

  • Party Planning w/ Evite’s Jessica Bailey
