You can learn more about me here, and ten things I bet you didn’t know about me here. Returning friends, hello to you too! Back in October, Jackie and I collaborated with Bedford Village Flower Shop to support them on Petal it Forward day. A national initiative of the Society of American Florists, on Petal it Forward day florists give out flowers to the community. Two bouquets per person to be exact, one for that person, one for that person to pass on. This…
I’m so excited to announce the launch of my brand new YouTube channel! A few months ago I would have never wanted to do this. To add something else onto my plate of never-ending to-dos. But within the last month or so I just became so ready. I wanted to try something new, learn something new. Connecting with my community has also become so important to me, and I think, this will be a great way for us to connect! There are so many reasons why I started a YouTube Channel but today I’m going to share the main three.…
PHOTOGRAPHY BY: Riley McCarthy Holiday Shopping Edit: Found At The Westchester Mall I like to start my holiday shopping as soon as possible. While I’m not perfect, I do try to begin as early as the beginning of November. Yes, well before Thanksgiving. But a girl likes to be prepared!

In four short weeks, @westchestermemes has amassed 23,000 Instagram followers (at the time of this interview on 10/29) and is now hitting over a 120k reach, weekly. This is something I can tell you as…
Did you know I started watching Netflix because I dislike watching most movies? Nor do I watch reality TV or follow many TV shows, except for maybe the Curse of Oak Island and Rick and Morty. My taste in television entertainment is interesting, to say the least, as are my Netflix selections. I learned that the hard way. I started watching Netflix so when people we’re talking about their guilty viewing pleasures, I could have something to add. Little did I know the shows and movies I chose to watch were the ones NO ONE was watching. I mean no…
It's a bittersweet moment when Fall finally rolls around here in New York. It's always hard for me to give up the warm air of Summer. But if anything could make me excited, it's apple pie, apple cider donuts, pumpkin carving, and Halloween! Over the weekend I took a trip up to Fishkill Farms (Hopewell Junction NY, Dutchess County) and on Sunday I went to Barton Orchards (Poughquag NY, Dutchess County). My heart was filled with great friends and Fall fun all weekend long!
