A "Tory Burch" Thanksgiving

This will be the second time I actually celebrate Thanksgiving and I'm very excited! Just a few more days of work and then break with lots of cooking (I've been assigned to the sweet potatoes), the Thanksgiving parade, and seeing friends (unfortunately the family doesn't live in the U.S.). The lovely Tory Burch shares her Thanksgiving menu complete with recipes here.

Happy Weekend!

A bit late but nonetheless .... happy weekend!

Fall Weekend Trip

I'm off to Philadelphia tonight to visit my brother down at UPenn and see my boyfriend's sister for her birthday weekend! It's sure to be a beautiful weekend as the leaves seem to be at peak colors and the chill in the air is still manageable. See you Sunday!

Veggie Juice Recipe

I've been feeling off and sluggish recently and trying everything to feel better. This morning I decided to make a veggie "smoothie". I've been reading how amazing veggie juice is for energy and glowing skin, so why not try my own? As much as I love Naked Green Machine it has WAY too many carbohydrates. Try this option for almost no carbs (the few carbs are healthy, long-lasting carbs). Although I definitely do not prefer it over a fruit smoothie the nutritional benefits seem to be worth it! At least the color looks nice ....

Central Park Sundays

My parents were visiting last weekend and we had a lovely time doing fun things and walking around. When you live in New York full-time and go to school and work you forget to make time to do fun things and actually enjoy the city! My new goal is to take some time out of this hectic lifestyle and take advantage of living here at least once a week.
