Random rantings of the misfit kind.
A week ago, I was honored to provide an inspirational post for an awesome event in CT, "The Phenomenal Women Panel". It's been a couple of weeks since I've posted on the site, but I wanted it share this one with you all. Enjoy! Earlier today, my third grader was telling her brother and me a story...

Every once in a while, we find ourselves lost, confused...feeling out of place. We look in the mirror, and all we feel is disdain and displeasure with the image reflected back at us. We feel insecure, unloved, depressed - every negative emotion and feeling available. And some days, it's seemingly impossible. We'll never find true... Continue Reading →
A good friend and I were having a very intense conversation late one night (much like the majority of our nightly convos), and this one was about careers and life goals. I was complaining about the lack of creativity in my corporate role, while he was proclaiming his anticipation of finally being able to do what... Continue Reading →
The other day, while aimlessly checking my FaceBook, Instagram, Twitter, and [insert social media app of the moment here], I had an epiphany. Or something like one. More like a kick in the shins. I didn't really care what anyone was doing or posting (not in a negative way, because I do care about my... Continue Reading →
Today, I've taken the time to reflect on what has occurred in my life over the past 365 days (and I urge you all to take a few moments between the partying to do the same). This past year has put me through many tests, of my resiliency, my loyalty, and my heart. I've learned... Continue Reading →
Have you ever found yourself spending so much time and energy focused on how other people feel, checking in on them, never realizing that you've forgotten to figure out how YOU feel, forgotten to check in with you? It's so easy to get caught up in being who others want you to be, and you... Continue Reading →
So, as some of you have gathered, I'm a little bit of an internet search engine junkie. Before the internet was mainstream, I was confined to outdated encyclopedias (remember the Encarta CD-ROMs?) to fulfill my need to know everything. The good ol' world-wide web has contributed to filling my mind with a bunch of useless (sometimes... Continue Reading →
Ok, so I, like most women, have heard all the buzz about these BB, CC, HH (you get it) creams out there in the beauty world. I’ve been disappointed by new beauty products before, so I was extremely hesitant to waste my money on anything new. Because I'm only lucky in things that don't involve... Continue Reading →
I am such a little researcher. Pinterest has become my new BFF, and because I loveeee trying new things, I wanted to give you guys a dose of what has piqued my interest these last few weeks, and what I actually took the time to (attempt) to recreate. First up: homemade hummus. I am a... Continue Reading →
For the first time in years, I'm actually excited about the Thanksgiving holiday. It's been at least a decade since my family has gotten together; aunts, uncles, cousins, grandma. For many people, that can seem like a hassle, but for me, it's a blessing. The idea makes me nostalgic, reminding me of a much simpler... Continue Reading →
