Halloween is creeping up right around the corner. Which means as I write this I have a bag of Candy Corn on my desk and I'm happily munching away. I'm really excited for dressing up this year. Unfortunately it's only a couple of days away and not surprisingly I'm still totally indecisive about my outfit for the festivities. Last year I went as Smurfette, complete with blonde hair, blue skin and a

So I’ve decided to take on another physical challenge this summer. On July 23rd, I’ll be participating in the Tri-State Trek bike race - which helps raise money to end ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). This will be is even more extreme than the Bike MS: City to Shore ride that I participated in last October (77 miles from Cherry Hill, NJ to Ocean City, MD.) This new race starts off in Newton, MA at

I recently started going to a personal trainer in downtown Manhattan at this new fitness club called Work. So far I've been about 4 times and I've learned quite a few valuable life lessons from my trainer friend - let's call him "G".G's Rules to Live By (and my snarky comments below):1. No eating anything after 7pm- Not so realistic in my line of work, when I typically leave the office around

I should have known better and probably less naive as to the way things were going to be...But I signed my year lease and now officially live in the affluent, polo shirt wearing, small dog carrying, Starbucks on every other block, preppy overly-white Upper East Side of Manhattan. I was honestly still shocked by how goddamn expensive everything is from groceries to the closest Chinese take-away

Because I’m a 14 year old girl at heart, I still watch quality MTV shows like Real World, Jersey Shore, and True Life. Most recently I saw the first episode of The Buried Life with these 4 tan cuties who have big hearts and ambition to live their lives to the fullest.

Since I moved to the big city in June '09, I've seen quite a few famous people milling around the streets of Manhattan. Here's my list starting from the most recent sighting (yesterday morning)...* Brooke Shields walking her big white dog in front of my Crunch gym on Lafayette st.* Jude Law attending a premiere on Chrystie street in the Lower East Side (he's gorgeous although a tad short)* Some

Things that I like about NYC...- My Crunch gym in BK is a few blocks away & offers awesome classes- Being able to bike into work (only takes 30 minutes)- The variety of things to good things eat- My neighborhood: Park Slope, Brooklyn- Living nearby from Prospect Park- Rooftop dinners and beautiful city views- Celebrity sightings (like Claire Danes!)- Walking from Manhattan to Brooklyn-

Only until you age out.Sorry to say it, but you're a temporary New Yorker. Sure, this city is awesome for running around and enjoying your youth, but you came here to work and play hard and plan on jetting at the first signs of crow's feet or when your parents stop financing that party lifestyle of yours. Plus, if you ever decide to settle down and have kids, there's no way you're bringing them

My last day at the eD - Lexington office was on Friday May, 29th.There were a few hugs and emotional goodbyes as I went around the office.I left around noon time, my hands full with a snack and beverage costing a mere 50 cents.As I walked out into the parking lot Dave shouts out, "You better NOT turn into a Yankees fan!"Good advice, friend.

I went to see the new Terminator blockbuster movie last weekend with my brother and Tim in downtown Silver Spring, MD. About half-way through I looked to my right and saw Tim sound asleep so I promptly jabbed him in the side. He probably had the right idea though because it was a pretty boring action movie & very predictable plot. Why do they still make prequels??Honestly the only redeemable

Pisces (2/19-3/20)Sometimes, it can be very helpful to live in an illusion - to keep yourself so distracted by daydreams and fanciful wishes that you don't have to deal with unpleasant thoughts. So if you are having troubling thoughts, it might be okay today to just pretend everything is just fine. Think good thoughts and if there are uncertain situations, just pretend that you know the outcome

Tomorrow morning I’m going skiing (alone) at Snowbird in Utah. Luckily Omniture is paying for my ski pass and providing bus transportation to/from the resort all day. So I would pretty much be a fool to pass up this opportunity. Unfortunately I started to get a bit worried after hearing warnings from a couple of co-workers:- You might get dizzy and black out from not drinking enough water- It’s

Shh don't tell anyone but I'm completely addicted to a new Myspace app called "Movies". I've decided that I should quit my job immediately and move to Hollywood. With my head full of useless pop culture knowledge I could become an entertainment news reporter or a fact researcher for E! Talk Soup (so funny). I wonder if those jobs pay well or if people take them for the perks of meeting &

So this post is already getting off topic but I came across a site this week called FreeRice.com and now I'm totally hooked. Basically you start playing by guessing the definition of SAT words. If you get it right, you get a harder word and they donate 20 grains of rice to the UN World Food Program. Right now my "score" is up to 2460 grains, which will be distributed to hungry people everywhere.
