Six Impossible Things
Whew! This July has been kind of crazy. I need some sleep! My photography course at FIT demanded that I wake up in the wee hours of the morning to catch a train to NYC and once my half-day class was over, I usually spent the rest of the day traipsing (or maybe trudging? definitely…

Merci Beaucoup
I read an amazing article the other day that summed up something I’ve always believed: being grateful makes you happier. It sounds weird, but it’s true: the article talked about giving thanks, and how people who wrote letters of gratitude to family and friends, even for inconsequential reasons, felt better with themselves and happier with…

I Believe in Wanderlust
I don’t think life is meant to be lived under one roof, in one country. I think it is meant to be experienced, to be relished, in far-off places and in little corners, with firsthand experiences of colorful cultures, and traditions far different from your own. I think life is meant to be an adventure,…

Zurich Aesthetic
I’m finally in Switzerland! Zurich, to be exact, and I couldn’t be happier. It’s been four years since I was last here, and not much has changed. The grocery still makes delicious fresh bread, the trams still arrive exactly on the dot, and the bikes are still ever-present. It’s comforting to know that I can…

Sunrise Beach
As if in the blink of an eye, the past seven weeks literally flew by, and my time in Florida has come to an end. To celebrate our last night here, we went to see sunrise on the beach, and it was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. The fiery sun, the cotton candy…

Six Impossible Things
You know those weeks when you have a to-do list that’s a mile long and it doesn’t seem to be getting any shorter? Well, this is one of those weeks for me. For every task I complete, another one seems to take its place immediately. It’s tempting to crawl into bed and forget about it…

A Ubiquitous Beauty
After the long, cold night that is Winter ends, Spring, reminiscent of dawn in its freshness, comes. Jubilant in it’s arrival and sprouting gloriously from the cracks in the earth, Spring comes. And suddenly, there are so many little signs of beauty everywhere; the green stalks of grass struggling to hold up, the red blush…

Sweet Memories
Now that winter has really set in (last I checked, the weather was 6 degrees) and the January work onslaught has begun, I’m starting to feel a longing for summer. It’s not just the sun that I crave. I want the careless freedom that comes with summer, too. I keep thinking back to those long,…

NYC Day
I’m usually a very scheduled and detail oriented person, needing to know exactly what’s happening. But sometimes, I find that the best way to relax can be to simply let go, and take everything as it comes. In what’s become a yearly tradition, my family takes a trip to NYC, where I usually plan so…
