This past Wednesday, February 25th, I collaborated with Whole Foods Charlestown on a Food Photography 101 Class. This event was extra special because all of the proceeds went directly towards The Whole Planet Foundation! If you’re not familiar, The Whole Planet Foundation is Whole Foods’ philanthropy that provides “grants to microfinance institutions in Asia, Africa, the…

Hands down, my favorite thing about blogging is discovering new places and meeting new people. When Lana Barakat of December Thieves reached out to me to come tour her new space, I was so thrilled! December Thieves was one of those places that I had walked by a million times but never been in. Never…

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray. I’ve been for a walk on a winter’s day. I’d be safe and warm if I was in L.A. California dreamin’ on such a winter’s day. The Mamas and The Papas Truer words have never been spoken. Moving to California has been on my mind…

“Everything happens for a reason.” I’ve been living by this mantra since I was 7 years old. It started when I was old enough to understand what death was. I lost my first grandparent at age 4 and started to realize what that meant when I lost another at age 5. By the time the third…

So far in Boston, we have over 60″ of snow. As I’m sure you can imagine, it’s absolutely miserable. There is no where to put any of it and I think I speak for us all when I say we are sick of shoveling out our cars. It seems like every time we turn around there…

Winter time in New England can be pretty brutal, especially if you aren’t from around here. I was born and raised in Maine (now living in Boston) and I still find myself a little moodier around this time of year. As you can imagine, it’s no fun to be cooped up inside with little natural light…

On Wednesday, January 21, 2015, I hosted my first Sweetgreen Passport Class! As some of you may remember, I was first connected to Sweetgreen through Lucy Litman and the Sweetgreen #TasteTheSeason supper. It was Lucy who then put me in touch with Rachel, the Community Manager for the Boston region. Rachel and I met up…

We know, we know… we missed the Friday Music Playlist. That’s because I was so excited for the Lost Kings show that I totally spaced on posting Drew’s playlist. My bad. The bad news? You didn’t have a playlist for the weekend. The good news is, I hung out with the Lost Kings post show…
