Just Your Everyday, Average M*$#%@ F*&!!%#

Ode to Champagne

“In victory, you deserve Champagne, in defeat, you need it.” -Napoleon Bonaparte
I’ve taken to indulging in a few glasses of sparkling wine for various reasons these past few days- to ease the nerves of an exhausting commute (it’s a bad idea to miss your stop on an express train in Queens…), to celebrate a […]

Playing Dress Up

Playing the role of Corporate Girl for a job interview- up with the morning rush hour with a Starbucks in one hand and laptop slung over the opposing shoulder-
