Birthday Week + Viva Las Vegas + Stories I’m Currently Working On (opens the original)
Read excerpt
They say to do one thing every day that scares you and today, dear Reader, I’m doing just that. The oven is currently preheating so that I can make a frozen pizza for dinner. This is, of course, not the norm. But tomorrow the sitter will be here and I don’t want to have to dirty any more dishes than absolutely necessary. Why is the sitter coming tomorrow, do you ask? (I know you didn’t, but just play along). Well, because I wanted to go to Las Vegas for my birthday on Friday and Beach House is p
Now’s as Good a Time as Any to Pity Me + What Caught My Eye (No. 72) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Even though I travel quite a lot these days, I still don’t have the sea legs for it. I’m kind of a baby, you see. I’m just beginning to bounce back from Oslo — my skin is clearing up, my sleep schedule is synching back up with the dogs’, and that tiny little headache I had for nearly two weeks from the near-constant IV drip of champagne and orange wine has started to clear. But this has undoubtedly meant a sluggishness in getting reacquainted with my routine. I’m really quite good when I’m all s

Some (More) Outfits I Wore in Europe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m currently on a train back to Pittsburgh, having canceled my New York plans early to get home to my family. Above me on the luggage rack are two comically large suitcases that I lugged around Penn Station earlier this morning, bumping into people, and knocking my Airbnb’s thermostat off the wall when I made a wide turn too quickly in the hallway and toppled over. I was like a sherpa on the escalator to my train platform. I would climb a thousand Mount Everests than to ever do that again. In f
Your Q's A'd + What Caught My Eye (No. 71) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Good morning, dear Reader. How was your weekend been? Mine, I give it a 60%. It’s still passing, but nothing to write home about, as the saying goes. So instead, I’ll write it all here. I’ve had a very stressful few days in my full-time job and on top of that I have Lyme Disease, which has its own set of annoyances that pop up every few months (please don’t give me any alternative medical advice, btw. I already blocked four people on Instagram for telling me I need to look at a local animal supp
