WALK THE WALK, TALK THE TALK🙃 Social media make

WALK THE WALK, TALK THE TALK🙃 Social media makes it super easy to say one thing but do another...or make people think that's what's happening. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PRETENDING YOU'RE HAVING A GOOD DAY WHEN YOU'RE NOT I mean I really hope we all know by now that social media is NOT a 100% accurate portrayal of someone's life. Thinking this is all real just allows you to easily play the comparison game. And that ain't the case. Instead of showing you guys ONLY the good, I strive to share it all - and that includes the hard, crappy days. Let's face it, WE ALL HAVE THEM.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PERFORMATIVE ACTIVISM I've made it a point to REALLY stay true to my word and work towards being a better ally. That's why it really pains me when I see that some people with amazing platforms kind of drop off the grid. While I do think that not EVERYTHING needs to be shared, you can definitely tell when people were just posting to post vs. really wanting to make a change. I'm making sure to continue to support my friends, and do the work on my own (I post an "ally update" if you will each month on my blog with new things I'm working towards).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BEING BUSY ALL THE TIME There's a weird concept thanks to the Internet that it's good to be busy all the time. And if you're busy all the time, then you must be successful. I mean, since March, I've really learned to embrace that it's OK to not feel OK. I've realized that it's OK to not spend every minute of every day doing something. Sometimes sitting on the couch with trashy TV is WHAT. YOU (ok, I). NEED. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm all about keeping it REAL and here are some of my favorite gals that KEEP IT REAL AF: @_happygocurly_, @newyorkcitystylist, @courtandkelly, @honestlyrelatableblog, @charmedbycamille, @chelchen

WHAT I WISH MONDAY LOOKED LIKE😌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Actually, that’s not actually true. I always look at Monday as a fresh start. Monday also happens to be the BUSIEST day for me at my job - lots of meetings, reporting, etc. It’s typically hectic and sometimes stressful, but it definitely helps make the day fly by👏🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have a favorite thing about Monday?!

THINGS I LOVE ABOUT NEW YORK RIGHT NOW😯 Yes, th

THINGS I LOVE ABOUT NEW YORK RIGHT NOW😯 Yes, there are a MILLION things I miss about a pre-COVID New York, but there's also quite a bit I'm loving👇🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🚕 A SLOWER PACE - Think about life before the pandemic. If you're a New Yorker, chances are you were always GO, GO, GO. I mean I know I was. It was always work, events, dinners, networking, work out classes, etc. And yes, I miss ALL of those things, but it's honestly been REAL nice to live a slower paced life right now. I've been able to just sit and do absolutely nothing just because I wanted to😌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🚕 NICER NEW YORKERS - There's a lot going on in the world. And a lot happened in New York since May. But I think New York came together during this time (just like we did post-9/11. Now since we can't smile at each other, I often hear more people in the neighborhood saying hello to each other. It's definitely a nice thing to see and hear🤗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🚕 GETTING FAMILIAR WITH NEW NEIGHBORHOODS - Since walking around was the only thing we could do for a while, a lot of exploring happened. I'm excited that I now really know the East Side of the city. It's truly one of my favorite areas🥰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🚕 OUTDOOR DINING - I mean, we used to fight over outdoor dining spaces, AND NOW THE OPTIONS ARE ENDLESS! I love sitting outside and eating on a cool (ok fine, a humid) summer night😍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even if you're not from New York, what are some GOOD things that have come from living through a pandemic?

#ad Excited to be partnering with @getunderlined to share more about their original paperback books! I just finished reading The Game by @linsey.miller . It's basically the perfect combination of a good murder story with a Riverdale-esque twist! #TheGame is all about a killer who picks victimes one by one, letter by letter. This one was one of my favorites and definitely a page turner! #lebanon #GetUnderlinedPartner

CHECK IN TIME: HOW ARE YOU DOING? And then...how are you REALLY doing?😳
.
I think it's important to continue to check in on each other❤️ Instead of it being all about me, me, me all the time (which hi, #selfcare is still important), we have to take care of each other.
.
I'll go first: Today was really busy (Mondays typically are for me). The day truly flew by. I didn't actually have a chance to think about how I'm feeling. My body is definitely tired, and it's from a lack of moving my body. UGH. Tomorrow I have an early alarm set to do yoga🧘🏻‍♀️ (Nick doesn't know it yet, but I'm making him teach me a class), and I'm already looking forward to my morning iced coffee. Until then, you can find me laying down watching the Penguins/Canadiens series. LET'S GO PENS!!! (Cannot believe I'm watching hockey in August LOL)🏒 So yeah, there's just a bunch of words describing my day and how I'm feeling. YOU GO NOW - HOW ARE YOU?👇🏻

LET’S TALK INTERNET TROLLS👹🤨
.
.
I’ve honestly been very lucky that I’ve dealt with VERY few trolls in my 8 years of sharing my life on the Internet. My recent troll didn’t like this AMAZING @lackofcoloraus hat and needed to tell me that from a fake account🤣 And that’s okay. Not everyone is going to like what you wear or what you put out there. REMEMBER, YOU WILL NOT BE EVERYONE’S CUP OF TEA☕️🤷🏻‍♀️
.
Trolling is something I see every day, especially on Instagram. I often think the trolls forget that there are actual humans behind Instagram accounts. They forget that just because “influencers decide to put their lives online” does NOT mean they get free range to say whatever negative things they want🤬If you have a troll (or trolls), chances are they’re unhappy with their lives. Chances are they are pissed off you’re thriving or have something they think they want that would fulfill their lives🤦🏻‍♀️
.
My tips for dealing with the trolls? SHAKE. IT. OFF💁🏻‍♀️ Do not let a fake account ruin your day or what you’re doing. If it’s negative feedback, take it with dignity and use it as constructive criticism. If it’s a plain ol’ mean girls comment, MOVE ON (or if you’re petty, like me, throw a little sarcasm back🙃 BUT ALWAYS TAKE THE HIGH ROAD). Do what you gotta do. Not everyone is gonna love you, but so many others do. And that’s all that matters🙏🏻

My outfit is linked in the @liketoknow.it app or you can click the link in my bio for deets. My sweater is INSANELY on sale. I’m actually in a size large because #oversized 😏 I also just got these @agolde Dee shorts and I LOVE THEM. They’re longer and higher waisted than the Parkers (which I also love). I found a few places that have some random sizes left so get on it while you can🙌🏻

FASHION COMFORT BLANKETS? Aka, what do you put on when you're not sure what to wear? For me, it's ALWAYS a t-shirt and jeans OR an easy throw on and go dress. Tell me yours!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Guys I RAVED about this dress on stories last week and I immediately got it in black too😍 AND HI, IT HAS POCKETS. NEED I SAY MORE!?🙆🏻‍♀️ @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2TnKf #liketkit #ltkunder100 #socrazysoft #summerdress

Today I told my mom I was having feelings of guilt

Today I told my mom I was having feelings of guilt over a situation that actually REALLY benefits myself and my career😔 I asked her, "Why me out of everyone else?"🤷🏻‍♀️ And she said, "Thinking positively, being a good person, and good to other people brings you good things.”❤️ Thanks, Mommy😘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Throughout the last five months, I've realized a lot of things DO NOT MATTER🙅🏻‍♀️ What matters is how we treat others. What matters is how we show up for others. What matters is how we overcome those unwanted feelings. The rest, I believe, comes to you. That's not to say we won't get dealt shitty cards at some point. That's life. Shit happens. But while I may feel guilty that good things are happening to me during a time like this, I have to believe that everything truly does happen for a reason🤞🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

ARE YOU AN IMPULSE BUYER OR DO YOU THINK ABOUT YOU

ARE YOU AN IMPULSE BUYER OR DO YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR PURCHASES? I'm 100000% an impulse buyer🙆🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If I want something, I get it🤷🏻‍♀️ That's how I end up with so much STUFF. I will say, I've been better at picking up things that are true to my style (PHEW). I have a few places I religiously shop (Lou & Grey, H&M, Zara, LOFT), and then I'm always looking for new stores/boutiques to find fun pieces (Cotton On, Shop 12th Tribe). Over the years, I've really only invested in bags and shoes that I KNOW I'll continue to wear and use for a long time (Gucci shoes, Saint Laurent & Celine bags). So while I'm definitely quick to hit the "Checkout" button, I will say I'm usually happy with my impulse buys👏🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Today is my 28th birthday👸🏻🎂. Is it weird

Today is my 28th birthday👸🏻🎂. Is it weird that I'm a little sad to let go of being 27? It was such a good year for me. It was a year of growth💪🏻 a year of doing things for my own happiness💁🏻‍♀️ a year of change🥳 and a year I surely will not forget❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On the flipside, I'm really excited to be 28. I realized that my life is slowly becoming everything I want it to be: I'm so happy. I'm healthy (and so are my loved ones). I have the most supportive family who are there for me no matter what. I have such great circles of friends who are people I truly want to surround myself with. I have a great guy who continues to teach and show me love every day. I love what I do. I have this community of people to learn and grow from as well as inspire them in any way I can. So while I may be celebrating another year, I'm really just celebrating all of the goodness in my life😭🥰 TRULY EFFING #BLESSED. 👏🏻

Walkin’ into my birthday weekend💁🏻‍♀️ That’s it. That’s the caption🙃😇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To be totally honest, I really don’t care about my birthday EXCEPT to use it as an excuse to annoy my family, friends, and Nick😌 because...it’s my birthday, so why not😉

JUST. KEEP. SMILING😃 When things get tough, I l

JUST. KEEP. SMILING😃 When things get tough, I like to remind myself that my life is still really freakin' good. In fact, today I got some pretty crappy news. I could have chosen to be upset all day, but instead I reminded myself of the following👇🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Twists, turns, and ups and downs are what make your path a journey. Life would be boring without 'em🤷🏻‍♀️
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's ok to feel all the feels. Allowing yourself to be ok with what you're feeling and process your emotions will allow them to pass more easily.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.
Life is good. So even when bad news hits, I still have so many things in my life to appreciate - my health, the health of my loved ones', a cool online community, friends to talk to, a significant other to lean on. All of these things are truly PRICELESS❤️
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So when the going gets tough, you have two options...actually no, I only want you to have ONE OPTION: Roll with it because I promise better days are ahead💪🏻

"London is satisfied, Paris is resigned, but New York is always hopeful. Always it believes that something good is about to come off, and it must hurry to meet it."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While New York City lost (or better yet, misplaced) the hustle and bustle over the last four months, one thing didn't change: the heart of New York and the people that were here to stick it out❤️ This time of uncertainty brought me back to when I was 9 years old, living in a post-9/11 New York City😔 It was sad😭, it was angry😡, it was broken💔, but it was still hopeful and so resilient💪🏻 This what what New York has felt like since March. And it felt familiar...which was oddly calming to me. I just KNEW we would get through this. Together.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This city isn't for everyone. I understand that. It's hard. It's expensive. It breaks you down before it builds you up. But it's MY city. It’s MY world. It has shaped me into who I am today. And for that, I'm eternally grateful for this beautiful city👏🏻❤️
