Read MoreOver the summer, my beau and I were in Connecticut for a birthday party. We brought the typical Bud Lights with us, but one of Albert’s friends showed up with something extra special: Not Your Father’s Root Beer. Basically, it’s alcoholic root beer. I know…right?! Though it’s 6% ABV, it doesn’t taste alcoholic at all…
Read MoreSlowly but surely I am starting to get into the swing of things at my new job. I still have those “what the heck am I doing?!” and “am I doing this right?!” feelings, but they are beginning to ease. It is only week two, after all. One thing that’s very different is that I…

Read MoreAhh, to be a lady of leisure. I can only imagine what it would be like if I was a true Park Avenue Princess, married to a financier, filling my days by heading up charities and flitting about the New York social scene. Well, for one afternoon, I got to play out how it would feel…
