While there are many things you can call me…one of the things that defines me most is wanting to be a good person. What that encompasses for me in a huge way, is being a good daughter, friend, lover, sister. This weekend, my sister called on me for that support. I spent Sunday in my siste...

  VIA THE MODERN MATERIALIST: Whiskey was actually the first alcoholic beverage I ever had. When I was a teenager, my dad left his Johnny Walker exposed in the kitchen and I poured some into my orange juice. It was gross and I didn't drink whiskey again until college. Now, at the ripe meh-a...

We got some requests via Twitter for plugs.  Here are the 3 sites that made the cut: OutAboutBrooklyn: This blog hits the nail on the head when it comes to placeblogging.  They go to places and write about them, and they do it frequently.
