The Weekend Update

Happy Saturday!!!!

I started the day with a very restful sleep, courtesy of my new bed pillows from Macy's. 

Followed by a much needed cup of joe...well 2 to be exact 

a little blogging

a Saturday run

and some laundry time.

Sounds like it's going to be a great day! 

I hope you all enjoy your weekends as much as I do.  I have never really understood the saying "working for the weekends" until I graduated and was thrown into this game called, Real Life! :)

Spring has definitely sprung in NYC.  The weeks are filled with rainy days while walking to work  and the weekends are sunny; usually in the mid 50s.  

This weekend the plans are a bit more chill than others...I'm saving my money, sanity, and health for when the weather gets super nice and I want to be sitting on a sidewalk cafe all weekend with friends!

Last night was a night in with Hulu.com and some leftover Chinese food! 

Today I listed above, but it will be filled with just the weekend errands.

Tomorrow: shopping for my birthday present, grocery shopping, and MAKING myself to go yoga.  I have been so bad lately about going, but now I have no reason to not go... I bought a yoga mat last weekend! :) So excited to try it out!

I hope you all are well!

City Ventures

My favorite window!

One of my favorite things about this city is that I can go anywhere at anytime of the day and run into something new.  I love going to places I'm unfamiliar with and explore the area.  My love for this city never ceases to amaze me.

Here are some pictures from the windows at Bergdorf's this spring! 

The Strand! It's a store that is 18 miles of books! 

For now...

Flower Power

The other day I actually walked down to the Macy's store, considering I work for Macys.com we hardly venture down to the actual brick and mortar, but anyways right now going on until April 10th is the annual Macy's Flower Show.  The entire first floor is FULL of blooming beauties.  From roses and gerber daisies to tulips and carnations.  They  are arranged in such a beautiful presentation.  Here are some pictures from my journey through the garden.

Carry on,

The BIRTHDAY Weekend Update

Absolutely love the aesthetics and look of this cake by Martha Stewart.

Kids-Ruffle cake by Martha Stewart

Well, it has been FOREVER since I have written last, but I have to say I haven't forgotten about you.  So the day finally arrived when I TURNED 24!!! I woke up to my sweet mother calling me and wishing me Happy Birthday.  Then when I arrived at work the girls had gotten me a bunch of balloons and cupcakes from Crumbs bakery in Manhattan.  Later during the day we had a small celebration in the kitchen of our floor and then proceeded to continue the festivities with happy hour!  

Today I did a little birthday shopping and teated myself to some lavender oil from Whole Foods Body and my very own yoga mat.  So excited to try it out at yoga tomorrow.

Then tomorrow is brunch!!! As you probably have figured out...I LOVE BRUNCH!!! It's probably one of my favorite things about NYC.  And I'm also even more of a fan of brunch on Sundays rather than on Saturdays.  It just seems more fitting to me.  So a bunch of my friends and I are headed to Philip Marie in the West Village for some laughter and champagne cocktails.  Can't wait!  

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to making this birthday so special!!! I love you all so very much and feel so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life.


My desk when I walked into work!


Cupcakes and a new Papayrus Journal!
