Happy New Year! I hope you all had a lovely and restful holiday season and most of all, a healthy one. I had a nice stay-cation full of food, chocolate, and other goodies and spent lots of quality time with my family. It was all fun and wonderful until my sister...
How often do you try something new? Like new new? We all get stuck in our day to day routines and dare I say, ruts. I'm guilty of just grabbing the same-ish groceries week after week and making my same go-to meals or going out to dinner at my usual spots and ordering...
Spring is here! Smell ya later Old Man Winter. I'm so over you. I feel like everyone had a spring in their step today, the day was longer, and the city was a little happier. Didn't you just feel like you had more time in your day? That being said, you probably want...

Chinese New Year is this weekend and I'm new year prep mode. Unlike its January 1st counterpart, which is basically about a countdown followed by new years resolutions, Chinese New Year feels so much more celebratory. Typically, the weeks leading up to the new year...
