One Step Closer with the JDRF

me + my brother! {courtesy of Simon James Photography} After seeing what my brother has had to go through living with Type 1 Diabetes, I’ve always tried to do everything and more to help find a cure for this disease. For him to not have to check his blood sugar 5 times a day, take 5 [...]

Leave it to Course Horse!

Ever feel the urge to learn something new in the city, but have no clue as to who to contact or where to go? I mean, there are so many opportunities here! It would take forever to create your own list from each company, their classes and the total costs. So when I came across [...]

Fabulous & Influential

The National Stationary Show was my kind of glorious heaven this weekend! Being surrounded by all things paper, detail oriented people and getting a sneak peek as to what will be coming out soon in stores, I was smiling from ear to ear! But, there was one memorable highlight of toodlin’ around the Javits Center. [...]

Bonjour + Hola to Sweet + Kitty Sassy

Long gone are the days of playing with American Girl dolls, trading Beanie Babies and my personal favorite of collecting Hello Kitty stickers. Don’t you miss those care free colorful times? Well, thanks to the creative minds of Hanky Panky and Sanrio, we can now combine a sense of our sass and innocence into our [...]

Smile. Bite. Smile.

I love it when readers give me suggestions about cool places we should go check out for future B+H posts! So when I received an email with raving reviews about a sweet shop in Chelsea called Stick&Pop, you better bet I pranced right on over! Hola.

Pointer Twang 101

As you know through previous posts {click here to read!}, once I returned to NYC from this spectacular place in the Smokey Mountains, I marched right on up to the Beretta store’s [...]

Sit Ups For Your Face

While everyone is focusing on toning their hot bods for the summer, there is one company that’s ahead of the game and switching the microscope to a place people don’t usually tone…their face! Hola BMR Beauty! Remember the BMR “Effortless Beauty” post from a few months back? You know…where you could {literally!} effortlessly tone your [...]

Tales of Veggies

Looking through old B+H posts, I realized I’ve never written about my absolute favorite place to go plop up on a Sunday afternoon. It’s a spot that’s bursting with unexpected flavors. It’s a spot that provides lovable food…veggie style, of course! It’s a spot that obviously includes both Eataly {my mothership!} and Eat-ing…at the ultra [...]

A Colorful Memory Of Sun

Although the Hamptons and ACK are quick and hip summer destinations from NYC, there’s another beachy keen spot you should look into before this summer hits! Nestled between Destin and Panama City, there is a myriad of hip beach enclaves that will knock your socks off allowing you to quickly sink your toes into the [...]

B+H Top Weekend Pick: Sir Kensington’s Homemade

Everyone knows that down South we always cover everything in ketchup…from meatloaf all the way to hash browns and fried shrimp! Honestly, I even prefer to dip my steak into some ketchup as well…hola! My flavaa has always been Heinz, but during a trip ’round Eataly last week, I came across a new kind of [...]

Depreciated Yet Appreciated

I always have the best time when my parents come to visit! Why? Catching up {sans iChat!}, dining out at fun restaurants, catching a broadway show {fyi…run don’t walk to see Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Death of a Salesman} and of course, shopping ’bout town! But when my momma suggested we go check out this [...]
