It is very weird to come back from a beach vacation spent entirely in bikinis to freezing cold New York. At least my trip away gave me the reminder I needed that it won’t always be cold and dreary. Spring will soon arrive and I can spend all my time outdoors. New favorite nail color:…

I should probably take things slow this week in preparation for a much needed vacation, but that just wouldn’t be as interesting so I’ve been running at full speed and trying new things. Grand Central turned 100 last week and it is just as beautiful now as it ever was. It is one of my…

I’ve really been enjoying this week of warm weather. It had been too cold to do anything but sit inside my apartment underneath my favorite blanket with a plate of pad see ew from my favorite Thai takeout spot. Now that it’s become bearable outside, I’ve found a renewed fervor to get out and enjoy…

Gotta love short weeks (thank you MLK day)! Sometimes you just need one less day at the office to keep yourself from going crazy.

Thanks to a Zpack, I’m feeling much better this week and think I might actually be ready for human interaction this weekend. Lucky for me, it’s a long weekend so I can build in plenty of friend time and me time. How great are these hammered gold bowls that Liz and Puckett got me as…

Today, the annual Konter family ski vacation comes to an end. I’m sad to part with my parents, brother, and sister-in-law, but at least I have New Years festivities to look forward to! I was so excited when Steph finally got back from her honeymoon. Two weeks without that lil lady was too long for…

I’ve been eating more chocolate than usual. I’m a sucker for the extra dark kind (I feel like that’s the start of one of those “I like my chocolate like I like my men” jokes) and have found some great chocolatiers lately. With that, I bring you the 3 on Thursday: Chocolate Edition. While home…

Between now and Christmas break, I think I have one weeknight to myself. Maybe two. I’m exhausted just thinking about it. My Mom has always been good with brooches and bangles. I, on the other hand, tend to stick to one or two jewelry pieces and wear them every day. I am too afraid I’ll…
