THINGS THAT SHOULDN'T BE EMBARRASSING...but are😖 I saw this trend on TikTok, and now I laugh at things I get embarrassed over for literally no reason🤦🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📍 Getting off the subway, walking in the wrong direction, and having to turn around to go the right way.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Speaking of the subway -- not getting your MetroCard swipe on the first try. EMBARRASSING.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🚪 Not being able to open a door immediately (like if my key gets stuck, if I push instead of pull, etc.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤧 Coughing and/or sneezing in public -- honestly this was embarrassing even before 2020.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🐦 Dodging a pigeon that you think is going to fly into your head.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 😅 Saying "you too!" when the waiter tells you to enjoy your meal.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ OK YOU GO -- tell me something that is SO embarrassing to you, but really shouldn't be👇🏻
RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME • I figured I'd share a c RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME • I figured I'd share a couple of facts about myself in case you’re new here...and also because I’m nosey as hell, so I just assume everyone else is too😂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🦁 I literally don't care about astrology or signs or anything, but when I see any memes involving Leo, I die at how accurate they are. BTW, my birthday is July 25th😋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🧊 Iced coffee, ONLY. Don't think about asking me if I want a cup of hot coffee. EVER. Not even if it's 3 degrees out.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🙂 I'm 5'3, but say I'm 5'2 because the doctor recently told me I apparently grew an inch...but I don't believe it. Through the years I've gotten messages saying that I appear taller in my photos, so I think that's funny. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💼 I work for Lou & Grey -- which is LITERALLY my dream job, and if you have never checked out our clothes, you need to. RIGHT NOW.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🐦 I think pigeons are terrifying. The thought of them flapping around me gives me chills. AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY. UGH. ICK. NOPE🤢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m sure I could think of 1938271 more random ass things about myself, but ya know...gotta leave some room for imagination😎🤣

AND I ACTUALLY REALLY ENJOYED IT.

Two years ago I would have told you I hated the be Two years ago I would have told you I hated the beach -- gimme a pool or something (better yet, gimme the mountains)😖 Last year, I found a new appreciation for the beach because it was the only escape (whether it was Montauk or Rockaway)💆🏻‍♀️ While I definitely still get VERY annoyed when sand gets everywhere, there's something so calming about the waves and the sun on your skin☀️🌊

THE HISTORY OF THE CANADIAN TUXEDO😯 Bing Crosby THE HISTORY OF THE CANADIAN TUXEDO😯 Bing Crosby walked into a hotel in Vancouver, and was almost refused a room because he was wearing a denim on denim look created by @levis and not a three piece suit. After hearing about the incident, @levis created Crosby an ACTUAL denim tuxedo so that no establishment can deny him service.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ THE MORE YOU KNOW🌈 No but seriously, I love random facts, so this was fun😂

I wrote a blog post last that was basically just a I wrote a blog post last that was basically just a little check in — what I’m up to, how I’m feeling about New York City right now, what I think the future looks like as we get back to “normal”😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve been fully vaccinated for over two weeks now, and while I’m so happy to be getting back in the groove of things, I’m still kind of anxious. I get nervous about how others are perceiving me if I’m not wearing my mask outside while walking. I’m cautious of how close I stand/sit near someone on the subway. I get anxious if I have to cough or sneeze in public. It’s crazy how much 2020 amplified my anxiety (in more ways than just socially).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Also, masks😷 No, I don’t want to wear a mask forever, BUT I think I’m going to continue to wear one on flights. I’m ALWAYS getting a cold after a flight, and when I was on my last flight in August 2020 - I didn’t get sick! Thoughts?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anyway, this ramble is really just a reflection of where we’re at in the world. While we’re opening back up (at least in New York), there’s still this weird uncertainty in terms of how to actually behave in public/social setting🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ All I know is I’m VERY happy you can now sit at a bar and ONLY order drinks🍻
