Jason Wu... Don't mind if I do

On Sunday morning my ass is just about always in bed. TOMORROW might be a different story... Jason Wu will be debuting his line at the infamous Tar-jay.


I came across these great tips for snagging yo' Sh*t tomorrow on ivillage.

Check it!

Jason Wu Tips for Snagging

Get the F*CK out of my way!

I'm going to hell for this one!

Maybe I'm clumsy or maybe I'm just a magnet, but EVERY TIME theres a person who's blind and using a blind cane in my vicinity I will ALWAYS get tap-tap-tapped.

It never fails! No matter how much I try to get out of the line of cane tapping, I'm always caught. I have been tripped by the blind canes and even cursed out by the person trying to walk. I'm always super embarrassed afterwords too!

I'm not kidding this is my life!

Fancy nails!

I finally did the newsprint manicure and I love it!

Pretty fitting provided I work for a publisher.


Here's a pic, but just ignore the polish on my skin and not on my nails. :)

I'm gonna be a superstar

I still think that one day I'm gonna be famous. So famous that I'm gonna go by only one name just like Madonna.

So just like any aspiring star and marketing guru, the minute a new social media site pops out I register my first name.

I guess this also because of the fear that someone will steal my name.

Weirdo I know.

Step on the Crack and Break Yo Momma's Back!!

I have no idea why, but I'm pretty superstitious when it comes to sporting events and marriage.

Total opposite ends of the spectrum... but totally part of my neurosis. I knock on wood, try not to "break the pole" and throw salt over my shoulder if it spills. :/

There was one yankee season where I didn't wash my Yankee t-shirt and wore it for every home game. They also won the world series that year!

I'm also super cautious about wedding rings. I've had a few friends that received amazingly HUGE engagement rings and I REFUSE to try them on for fear of bad luck.

In my rational brain I know it's completely ridiculous... but in my world of crazy it feels oh so right.




FYI, my giants shirt has not yet been washed!!!

I'm a Belieber!

In my attempts at relaxing on a Sunday night, Netflix so graciously suggested I watch Justin Bieber - Never Say Never.



The kid is talented... and I am a Belieber!!!!!!!

Looking back..

I'm thankful for the new year, which provides a designated time to review and acts as a catalyst for change in the upcoming year. 

This past year has been an interesting one, I didn't expect all of the change that came with 2011 but it seems to all work out.

Jenny From the Block

I moved back to the BOOGIE... I swore I'd never move back to the Bronx. I made it out and wasn't looking back. My, my, my how things change. I saw the Bronx as a place where the struggle never ends and couldn't bear to endure that again. It's been so different and I LOVE it. It's nice to be back in my 'hood and while there is such a struggle and poverty all around me, I've never experienced such a great community and feel so at home. 

She Works Hard for the Money

Growing up I always wanted to be successful but had no idea what that route would look like. I'm a PR girl from the BX and was a bartender and waitress FOREVER. If you would have told me I'd be where I'm at now professionally without any formal training.... I would've laughed and thought it to be impossible. 

Well I'm doing it ya'll!!! I managed to get promoted and take on so much responsibility at my old place. Then when it was time I got another offer and took that. It's been great and even now at my new job I'm learning new things and looking forward to rocking this one out as well. I can't wait to see what 2012 brings! Let's get it!

Jack of All Trades

I once had someone tell me I wanted to do everything but had no focus and didn't commit. I can't even begin to tell you what a blow that was. I've always felt the urge to be creative but felt locked into this constrictive box with no outlet. Thank you 2011 for changing that. This past year I took photography classes, vocal lessons, salsa classes, water-colored, and started knitting (and am still on one damned scarf). It feels good to follow my creative desires even if for one day. In 2012 I'm looking forward to keeping this tradition alive and doing it all because I CAN! 

The company you keep

It's been so great to be able to visit my family in FL along with having some cousins and my sister spend time with me here in the NY. Nothing like having family close to you. :) 

Friends have come and gone this year... and I'm so grateful for those who have been true, those who are new, and those who have gone. Each chapter was a learning point and I'm grateful for them all. 

Love... has been so great and so challenging. I never knew that being in a relationship would be so character revealing. I've learned so much from R about myself, him, and how we meet in the middle. I wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks boo! <3

2012 Bring it on! 

xoxoxo,
