The fun of Eataly

When I heard the news of Eataly's opening (located at 200 Fifth Avenue), I decided to wait out the excitement of the crowds that I knew would surely follow. And follow it did, with people waiting on long lines for the many authentic Italian goods, as well as a chan[...]

The mindful traveler

As a child growing up in the Dominican Republic one of the things my family and I did the most was go to the beach. On long weekends or Summer breaks we would go to the resorts and enjoy all the things so many tourists do on a yearly basis. However, because I star[...]

The worth of your words and weight of the world

I am not a resolutions-type of chick. My personality is too spontaneous, and I like the freedom to change my mind without beating myself up over it. However, I've learned a lot this past year, and have only one resolution to make that I plan to stick to: to not wri[...]

When I was in college all I wanted to study was Journalism, after I wanted to be an actor, singer, and fashion designer. But I couldn't because I worked in a full-time position during the day, when all the Journalism courses were taking place. So, I settled for a[...]

Holiday Windows in New York City, 2010

When I didn't live in New York City, for one reason or another, I always missed being home for the holidays and the one thing I missed the most about not being home for the holidays was being able to enjoy the amazing window displays. Some of the most famous store[...]

Ground Zero & Statue of Liberty Tour with Kids

I always say that even if you live in or visit New York City, it never hurts, or rather it further compliments your experiences when you play tourist every once in a while. Even the most hardcore New Yorker doesn't know everything about everything that there is to[...]

Life gets so busy and stressful sometimes that I f Life gets so busy and stressful sometimes that I forget I have so much to heal my soul and relax me right at my finger tips…

I get what it is to be from the big city and not being able to imagine a life so beautiful anywhere else. It certainly was me. 

And then, I came to the Finger Lakes…and the rest is history.

Have you ever been to a shop so pretty and cozy it Have you ever been to a shop so pretty and cozy it makes you emotional? In NYC, @niconeco_zakkaya is up there as a fave for me. 

This Japanese-inspired stationary boutique in the East Village gives me all the fuzzy feels and I was sad to hear that after 8 years unharmed, their charming shop sign was vandalized. 

They are calling on a creative illustrator who might be interested in bringing a new one to life. Check their Insta for more. And as always, support, shop, and give all the love to small businesses wherever you live and your travels may take you. And next time you are in the East Village, go check them out, and their cafe in Williamsburg, @loafonpaperny (see my reel on them). My 🫶🏾 to this little shop.

The gushing sound of the glen, afternoon song bird The gushing sound of the glen, afternoon song birds, and this sunset. #Blessed.
We did what one does when the weather is just righ We did what one does when the weather is just right and the sun is shining over Brooklyn 🌞

Rode the ferry a few minutes from Dumbo to Williamsburg for a stroll and some delicious coffee. 

Walked through Domino Park and into @birdeenyc, where I just had to taste a few of their delicious pastries and churro latte! 

Then strolled over to @loafonpaperny and shopped for some pretty stationary goodies while sipping on their Earl Grey Matcha. 

The perfect way to kick off a stunning day in the city!

My list of fave cafes continues to grow, and I am saving them in my “NY Cafes” highlights for those who are following along. ☕️
