I know the term “obsessed” is a *little* overused in the blogger community, but trust me when I say that I don’t shop or buy things a lot, so when I say I’m obsessed with something, it means I can’t stop talking about it. Here are 5 things that I have been recommending to everyone I know!   1. The Luv Scrub I have heard many people talk about this mesh cloth on the internet, and decided recently that it was time to try it for myself. And let me tell you, I am never ever ever using a loofah again. The Luv Scrub is a mesh cloth that is incredibly exfoliating and can last for up to 18 mont ..read more

Holy moly, time is really flying! Krembo is now a little over 9 months old. Our guesses on how much he would weigh were completely off.. we thought he’d be maybe 50lbs max. The little guy is over 70lbs at this point, and still growing! We are hoping he tops out at 75lbs because that is a BIG dog. Krembo has turned into the sweetest, cuddliest little doggie ever. We love him sooo much, even when he tries to eat all of our pillows and has the zoomies. He has gotten really comfortable with getting on the couch and the bed, and he will lay next to us and cuddle which is so sweet. He also has lea ..read more

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I normally read a LOT. 2020, however, foiled all of my reading plans. I’m not sure how people read so much last year, but I was incredibly distracted and couldn’t turn my brain off long enough to read a chapter, let alone a whole book! Luckily, I got in a few books before the pandemic started, and I got my reading mojo back a select few times throughout the rest of the year. So while the list this year is somewhat short, it definitely reflects the lack of reading I did this year. I’m hoping to read more in 2021 but am not putting a lot of pressure ..read more

You guys have met Krembo, right? If you follow me on Instagram, you know by now that I have a little pup who is my child. I’ve never had a dog before him, and never imagined I could ever love one this much. I have definitely become one of those crazy dog moms who falls for every single targeted Instagram ad for dog accessories, ha! I just can’t get enough things that have his cute little face on them! Because I am all about shopping small this year, I’m sharing some handmade Etsy finds for dog lovers. If you can, please shop small businesses this year! I promise Amazon doesn’t need your hard-e ..read more

Like everyone else, I’ve been cooking a LOT more due to quarantine. Obviously at this point in the year (September), NYC is open again and we’re able to eat out more. But I’ve still been cooking almost every single meal at home! I’m a creature of habit, so once I find a recipe, I make it multiple times (until I get sick of it, ha). Below are all of the best recipes of quarantine I’ve made and enjoyed during this awful freaking year! Enjoy, and let me know if you try any of them :) P.S. I double all of these recipes so we have leftovers for lunch every day.   Italian Orzo Spinach Soup So ..read more

Well, Krembo is officially 17 weeks old! I can’t believe how long we’ve had him already–it feels like forever and a day all at once. I wanted to share how he’s doing and how the last few weeks have gone, since they grow and change so fast and we’ve learned so much. If you want to read how the first few weeks of having a new puppy were, start with this post! Socialization Krembo LOVES humans, especially kids. When a kid runs by on the street, he’ll sit and patiently wait for some pets (although they almost never come to pet him… damn you covid!). He also loves to play with other dogs and his s ..read more

It’s officially been 1 month since we got our beloved Peloton bike, and I wanted to give an update as to how we’re liking it so far, and also share a tip on how to save money on a Peloton! Why We Bought A Peloton I’ve always wanted a Peloton bike, and we finally decided to pull the trigger during quarantining for Covid-19. I saw how my friends with Pelotons were able to get cardio exercise indoors during that time, and found myself constantly longing for a good sweat–something that’s generally hard to achieve in a 800 sq. foot apartment. When I found out they have a payment plan, that prett ..read more

I always blog about the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, but this year hits a little bit different. I don’t know about you, but I have fully embraced the comfy, at-home lifestyle for the rest of 2020. Although there are so many cute fall things on sale for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, I just don’t have it in me to buy a bunch of things that will get little to no wear in 2020. Call me crazy! That being said, my curation of this year’s sale picks has comfort and the economy in mind. Obviously people (including myself) aren’t spending nearly as much money this year, and I definitely wanted to be m ..read more

Photo by Sweet Sundays Photography Like many other people in 2020, Idan and I thought it would be great to get a dog during quarantine. After all, we’re home 24/7 and have much more time to train a pup! We finally found the perfect doggo for us–he’s a bernedoodle from an Amish family in Pennsylvania. Because this has been the hardest, most challenging thing of our lives, I wanted to share some new puppy advice that I’ve gathered over the last few weeks. Getting Him Home and The First Night We rented a car for the day and headed out to PA to go get our new floof. The drive there was a little o ..read more
