In with the old
The year is coming to an end. There are just a few days left on the calendar. Where did all of the time go? Where did all of the opportunities go? What do I have to show for another 365 days? I can’t help but reminisce and wish for more time, for different times. I…

A fashion field trip
From my youth, I have always wanted to visit Paris. I was into fashion after all. I of course needed to head to fashion capital of the world at some point, as an almost completion of the mission. However now, my view has expanded. Fashion is global. Of course, New York is dominant on the…

Training wheels
I thought it’d be temporary. I thought that the need to write everything down, keep a tight schedule, and organize everything was a phase, just a moment in my life to get me through school. I thought that as a serious adult working a real job that i was done with that. So I let…

My favorite hotel is becoming a chain
Equinox Hotel in New York City is by far my favorite hotel. Now, the brand is branching out with a property coming to Amaala in 2026. I never planned to visit Saudi Arabia before, but now I’m intrigued. Right now, the site is only set up for notification sign-ups. I am going to pop in…

The walkout
Getting back into my fitness routine, I decided to register for a 7 AM boxing class. It’s an exercise I enjoy enough to make the effort to get up that early. I rushed in just in time, only to see a nearly empty room and no instructor. At 7:05, the instructor came dancing in. “We’ll…

The magic of New York
Based on my flight receipts, there is one place that I have been more than any other: New York City. My fascination with the place started with the idea that it was the fashion capital of the world. Now, that I’m maturing as someone who enjoys traveling, I see it as place of infinite experiences.…

My two can’t forget beauty staples
I am slowly increasing my beauty routine, but for right now, I have two staples: sunscreen and brows. I rotate through multiple sunscreens with all the reviewing that I do, but the one I keep returning to is the UV Protective Cream from Cle de Peau. Is it expensive? Yes it is. But is it…

This is nice
I looked up from my computer mid-work session. Distraction comes in the form of the random stacks of papers that I will definitely need. The piles of laundry waiting patiently for their turn in the washer. The trash that needs to be taken out. And of course, the non-existent to-do list because I never found…

Lazy days
Today’s to-do list was crushed, or rather crumpled because I got to none of the items. I just couldn’t get my brain going. The only thing I could seem to muster was watching one video and then another. I kept time thinking about what I should be doing, what others were doing. I should be…
