The moment cool weather rolls in and pumpkin spice everything hits store shelves everywhere, I know it’s best to grab at least three cans of pumpkin puree because it’s Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie time. These cookies are so damn, good it’s scary. More on the cake side than chewy side, with a mild dose of spices to get you in… Keep Reading…
When practicing yoga, it is really important to have everything you need in order to create a safe and fun yoga experience for every time you step foot on your mat. In theory, yoga can be done most anywhere and with very few items. You really just need space and the willingness to learn. Along with patience, but yoga can… Keep Reading…
By now this should come as no surprise, I love working with my sister; but, more specifically, I love literally working with her, as in the same physical space. Why? When I am with her, it means I am doing something independent, away from my family for a few (sorry guys), and it also happens to be one of the… Keep Reading…

It’s the second October since you left. Two birthdays. Two autumns. Almost two years. The time you have been gone is a mere blip compared to the vacant space you left in my heart and the word on the street is the hole never goes away. Wasn’t it just yesterday you were sitting on your Adirondack chair in front of your… Keep Reading…

I love this time of year, even now through all of the uncertainty, I still find joy in the cooler months. I… Keep Reading…
With the change of seasons, comes the change of cocktails. Recently on Live @ 5, I was joined by our hygge mixologist, Michael Cecconi of SIP BAR at @themobilemixologist. Michael is what Michelle and I like to refer to as one of our “weird internet friends” and/or “strangers we think you should now”. Making friends on social media apps… Keep Reading…
I hope you aren’t annoyed by the fact that I start burning pumpkin candles in August and soup season starts immediately after that, because this love for fall isn’t going to stop anytime soon and I am just getting started. Buckle up! Also, if I can be honest, I am in a bit more of a celebratory mood this… Keep Reading…
Ever since I was a young one, I have been drawn to the macabre side of life. More specifically, women of the macabre. Or I guess you’d say, the occult. I have this memory of sitting on the floor at Walden Books thumbing my way through any witchcraft or spellbook I could get my hands on. Something about having… Keep Reading…
I have to admit, ever since the feeling of fall has arrived, I have been experiencing a bit of a pep in my step. A sort of feeling of revival, if you will? I feel happy, excited, and strangely optimistic. These feelings are eerily similar to the ones I have when I have something to look forward to. It… Keep Reading…
“I like to have a Martini, two at the very most… After three I’m under the table, after four, I’m under my host.” – Dorothy Parker, American poet & writer Oh, the martini.
