1. First, listen to this album by The All About on repeat because it encapsulates summery-suburban-slurpees-and-swimming-pool feelings. Especially tracks “Summer Sheets”, “Heat Wave” and “Lyla Garrity”. Dance party. 2. Read your horoscope daily from multiple sources but only pay attention to the positive things. Ain’t nobody got time for sketchy vibes. This, along with spilling coffee on myself … Continue reading »
Netwerking, known to the lay person as “Networking,” is an art. As with all art, your attitude and level of confidence will get you halfway there. That’s why I call it Netwerking and not Networking — a little more Gen Y and a little less middle aged men at a press luncheon. Generation Y, Millennials, … Continue reading »
One late night, whilst on a YouTube interview-watching binge, I stumbled across an interview with Diablo Cody and Mindy Kaling that was part of a webseries called Red Band Trailer. Now, I must say that the brilliance of Diablo Cody as a host alongside one of my favorite television writers certainly appealed to me, but … Continue reading »

There are ways for me to educate myself on the subject; the web abounds with different ways to integrate makeup into my routine.

He may be far from perfect, but the fact that he ran around New York … Continue reading »
Art by Kaley Recently, a friend of mine was dumped. They’d only been dating for a month or so, but the blow hit her as hard as if she’d been dating him for a couple of years. She told me that what started out as a conversation about strengthening the relationship, turned into a discussion … Continue reading »
One of the greatest T.V. images of my childhood is Sam climbing up the ladder to Clarissa’s window to just hang out. They were best friends, and to my memory, that was it. I wonder if the two of them knew that they were gliding on the last frontier of when in our lives it … Continue reading »
Art by Emma “I’m just gonna play until my free trial is up.” This is how everyone starts the game. I started it a year and a half ago with that exact quote. My best friend was the one who got me to start playing. She pitched it to me just like a recruiter in … Continue reading »
I had an overactive imagination as a child. Playing tag or hide & seek was boring to me. I needed something more; mountains to climb, adventures to embark on, treasures to find. To achieve these goals (because, trust me, there are no mountains in New Brunswick), I personified fictional characters and the worlds they lived … Continue reading »
