I survived

I did it! Spring has finally sprung here in Long Island. I survived my first New York winter and that my friends, is worth celebrating. Here are a few survival tips if you are a warmer climate person and ever find yourself in the middle of a snowstorm:

• Make sure you have antifreeze solution in your windshield wiper fluid. I learned this lesson the hard way.
• Rubber boots are a MUST. My Hunter boots saved me this season. They won’t keep your toes warm, but they will keep you dry.
• The correct terminology for light snow is flurries. Not sprinkle snow. Never call it sprinkle snow, or your new coworkers will make fun of you.
• You can’t wear flip flops 12 months out of the year. I tried. I tried really hard. It’s sad, but your toes will thank you.

Happy Spring! xo 

4 Months in New York

It's been (almost) 4 months since I left the Golden Gate for the Empire State and I cannot believe how quickly time has flown by! I'm starting to get use to being tan, having frizzy hair and "Summer showers." As much as I love my new home, I am SO excited to spend some time on the West Coast with my family & friends for the next two weeks. Have a lovely weekend! xo
