Enlightened: (Seriously) Good-For-You Ice Cream
A couple weeks ago, I got to cover backstage beauty at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show for work. (I know, right? I’m still giddy.) Among all the questions my friends asked me about the experience were 1] Are the models as pretty in person? (Yes!) 2] Are they really as skinny in person? (Yes!) and […]
Henri Bendel’s New York City Trash Can
If there’s one thing never lacking in New York City, it’s the heaping, overflowing cans of trash. New York City Trash Mix from Henri Bendel is far from the gross messes you’re now imagining: it’s actually a clever, tasty treat that’s perfectly packaged in a fun tin trash bin for gifting.

Listen: Owl City ft. Mark Hoppus, “Dementia”
Owl City and Mark Hoppus team up for this cool song, which can be found on Owl City’s latest album, “The Midsummer Station.” Each time this song comes up on my iTunes, I find myself captivated. It showcases the talents and styles of both artists flawlessly- a real rarity among music collaborations that highlight one […]
Man Of The Hour
I’ll let you in on one of my secrets: no matter how swamped I’ve ever been in one of my literature classes, I’ve always made time to read comic books. They keep my brain sane and entertained. I started reading comic books when I was 8 years old and found boxes of my mom’s old […]
Bubbakoo’s Burritos: Point Pleasant, NJ
When I first set out to write my review of Bubbakoo’s Burritos, I only expected to rave about their amazing burritos.

The chains of Bubbakoo’s are back up and running, but serving a new purpose […]

Lime Crime Makeup: Helping Pets Through Fun Color Cosmetics
If you’re anything like me, you never need an actual reason to rock fruity, pastel nail polish. But I’ll give you one anyway: from November 12- 18, a portion of all Lime Crime Makeup‘s web sales will go to Adopt NY, a program that helps homeless pets in NYC. Their efforts are especially important in the […]
End The Cycle of Domestic Abuse with mark. m.powerment
Can you spot domestic abuse when you see it? Not all domestic abuse is visible. It’s not always as obvious as we’d assume it to be, and not every victim gets as much attention as Chris Brown and Rihanna. Domestic violence includes physical, sexual, mental, and financial abuse and can affect absolutely anyone. Studies actually show […]
God’s Love We Deliver: New York City
Being in New York and New Jersey right now as teams of volunteers are pitching in to help clean up and provide food and shelter for those affected by Hurricane Sandy (thank you!), I’m reminded more than ever of groups that put this much effort into helping people get much needed nutrition all year round. I’d like […]
