  • Vegan treats so good to eat!

    I promise this isn’t going to turn into an “I’m Vegan” site, but here and there, I will drop some info on tasty vegan/plant-based morsels that will have you not even thinking twice about those treats you left behind. Over the last couple of months, I’ve come across, and tried, many of these items and…

  • Stephen Twining’s 10 Tips to Perfect Herbal Tea

  • 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…

  • Allison McGuire Talks the Walc | Part II

    So what do you think about that show Shark Tank? What are your thoughts on that? I think it sort of gives the idea that people who have money can invest in me. “This is so easy. All I have to do is get in front of them and pitch it,” and there’s nothing else…

  • Bullet Journal. Planning for those who struggle to plan.

    I’m not sure how the solar eclipse affected you, but I’ve turned over a leaf that I attempt to turn over every January 1st. Details will not be provided, but I know a lot of you all felt that shift. Now with Bullet Journaling these practices will be more effective than any resolutions set for…

  • Try the risotto at Tartinery in Nolita…yum!

    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

    It’s easy to plan a get together, it’s even easier to do it all wrong. A few weeks back, we got the 411 from Evite’s in-house Party Stylist, Jessica Bailey, on how to party plan the most efficient way.  (That includes telling guests it’s time to go, without telling them, “it’s time to go.”) How…

  • My nights at Sonesta Ocean Point

    I’ve never not wanted to be in the city more than I have in 2017. Man, oh, man is it tiresome, and brutal, and rambunctious, simultaneously when you need it the least. And yes, many of you can say, “Tillie… then move.” Way ahead of you smart ass, that’s already in the works, but until…

  • Budget travel: Marrakech, Madrid et Barcelona

    It’s not that I’m cheap; I just hate spending an exorbitant amount of money. [My mum calls me cheap, as does my sister… don’t believe them.] With the correlation of the idea of money leading to happiness, or at least an easier way of life that can lead to happiness, it’s a mission of mine…

  • Tips to know before going to: Marrakech – Part 2

    Just to quickly clear things up as some folks are confused, I didn’t hate Marrakech at all. If anything, I loved it so much, there was a brief moment where I nearly extended my trip. The only reason I didn’t was the six-room riad I resided, was completely booked. Sooooo, yeah. Anyway, now we’re on to…

  • Tips to know before going to: Marrakech – Part 1

    Last week, I spent the most glorious six days and five nights in Morocco. It was my first time traveling to Africa unescorted. In the past it has always been with family, or meeting up with a group, but this was an adventure I was excited to take on. So before this long awaited trip,…

  • Subliminal Shopping via Facebook Finds

    Way too much time is spent on social media, so it’s no surprise that brands use it as a way to get your attention. Since about October of 2016, I’ve been screenshotting brands that pop up on my timeline, disguising themselves as a friend’s post. With one click I’ve either bought something I don’t really…
