Holidays in Edinburgh, Scotland

It had been so long since my last visit to Scotland, and since then I couldn't wait to return. 10 years, an upcoming birthday, and a few airline mileage points to make use of and here I was, even if just for a week. I did not have nearly enough days to enjoy every[...]

A Visit to Acadia National Park

The National Parks are in a constant threat of abolishment, now more than ever. I can't imagine, even as someone who discovered her love for them so much later in her life, what I would do without their healing power, their ability to make me feel whole and connec[...]

During my recent jaunt to @visittheberkshires I im During my recent jaunt to @visittheberkshires I immersed myself in @massmoca bliss. With 250,000 square feet of gallery space, it’s easy to understand how with three visits thus far,  I still haven’t seen all there is to see. 

Strolling the interconnected buildings and walkways leads you into a new experience, and with each ticket allowing for two consecutive day visits, you are encouraged to take your time. 

Another thing to note is that in between my visits (separated by a month’s time) I got to see new installations that weren’t there before, as many of the exhibits are ever-evolving. 

I have yet to visit during warmer temps, when the outdoor spaces are activated with more art and events, so am definitely excited to return. It would also be cool to catch a live performance there! 

Bonus: the coffee shop adjacent to the museum - @tunnelcitycoffee - serves up some good sips, and I highly recommend reservations to @casitaberkshires, the Mexican restaurant also on campus.

This winter promises to be a snowy one and honestl This winter promises to be a snowy one and honestly, I couldn’t be more excited. Experiencing true four seasons is one of the things I love about living here because everything changes each time. The energy is more serene and mellow. The world is so chaotic and sad in many ways these days, it’s really healing to be surrounded by the quiet and stillness of nature on a snow day in the Finger Lakes.

Almost 6 months ago, and after a few months of hos Almost 6 months ago, and after a few months of hosting just family and friends at home, I launched to the public a “little something” I felt was really bringing me joy and really made others happy too…a reason to come together. 

I wanted something that allowed for more in-person connections in a way that I loved to do so the most…by serving something yummy to strangers and friends alike. Café Cómodo has become more than I expected, faster than I imagined, and some of the hardest work I’ve done to date. But I love it. 

And now, we’ve secured a long term partnership with @sulfurbooks, in Clifton Springs, NY. 

Started January 10, 2026 and every second Saturday of the month till December 2026 (with a few extra events sprinkled in between), we will be serving a community of growing fans in a community bookstore we all adore. 

I look forward to continued growth, more meaningful partnerships, and making people happy, one cafecito at a time. ☕️

Thank you to everyone who has been supportive of my little café dreams from day 1. Look what you helped make possible!! 

Thank you to Sarah and team for this opportunity and to the Clifton Springs community for the warm welcome. 🫶🏾

May your bellies be happy and your hearts full. ❤️

Growing up in New York City with easy access to it Growing up in New York City with easy access to its holiday sceneries it was difficult to imagine that the holidays anywhere else could feel as special. Then later, my travels exposed me to some pretty spectacular holidays around the world that I would add as absolute musts. And now, living in rural New York, I have to say there is also something very sweet about small town holidays. 

For one, the little parades that bring so many people - many of whom you get to know personally when living in a small town - are really endearing. And also, the generic commercialism doesn’t overpower the holidays because there are so many quaint small businesses to support and shop in. 

And so it very much gives that Hallmark feel that so many people from the larger cities crave, especially this time of year. And while that special feeling might be lost on some, for me, it still is very much palpable and one of my favorite things about living in the Finger Lakes.

I’ve passed through Penn Station more times than I’ve passed through Penn Station more times than I can count, usually with the same mindset: get in, get out, get going. But this time I wandered into the newer Moynihan Train Hall, and for a moment the city actually felt…generous.

Sunlight spills through the skylights, the space breathes in a way old Penn never did, and then you look up - like really look - and there they are: vibrant stained-glass break dancers floating overhead, created by Kehinde Wiley. If his name sounds familiar, it’s because he’s the brilliant artist behind President Obama’s official portrait.

Here, though, it’s not about presidents or formality. It’s about movement, street culture, and the energy that makes New York what it is. A reminder that art belongs everywhere, even above a busy train platform.

If you find yourself here, give yourself the gift of a slow minute to look up above the rush.
