The humidity in Rhode Island is a plague–it is actually repulsive and lethal… For people with curly hair. The two times I managed to go to the beach with the family, we had gone late afternoon, so it wasn’t unbearable by 3:00 pm. Drinking Del’s and Trenta-sized Starbucks doesn’t hurt either. There are some great […]
Read MoreEvery Fourth of July, my family and I usually do the beach-and-BBQ routine at home, but this year, I spent the holiday in Manchester and Boston with Stephen and his mother, Gail. It was a welcome reprieve–the last break I had allowed myself was Boston Calling during Memorial Day weekend. On the Fourth, we spent […]
Read MoreLast night was the third annual StyleWeek Northeast Au Courant fashion show benefit for Child & Family. It was awesome.

Read MoreOn Monday, I had a meeting at Sweet Berry Farm in Middletown. I had never been before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect… I was pleasantly surprised to find how amazing it is.

Read MoreBefore my usual Starbucks run and work, I went to Wish Newport just to browse, but of course, my detour ended with a small purchase. Wish Newport, which sells designer women’s consignment, also sells young children’s designer consignment for babies and toddlers. My cousin is expecting her second son in mid January, so I picked […]
Read MoreMy family and I had a great Thanksgiving–all I have to say is that our fridge is filled with leftovers and pies. My cousin and her son joined us for dinner, and we were happy to have them. We saw Lincoln (2012) in the evening. It was a good film, but it would have been […]
Read MoreThis article is posted on the university’s newspaper site, but I forgot to mention that Green Envy’s products are very affordable–there’s jewelry made from recyclable materials starting at $1! I greatly enjoyed speaking with Rachel Lessne and hope that Green Envy Eco Boutique continues to make a buzz in Newport. Shopping Downtown: Green Envy Eco […]
