Puttin on the Rietz
I’m so serious about the personal assistant thing. I mean… I haven’t had a second to breathe lately. This always happens around this time of year… I won’t bore you with the trials and tribulations of the past week or so, but suffice it to say I was overbooked, overwhelmed and overextended. As always, thanks...

Embattled by an onslaught of introspection, holiday obligations, and technical difficulties, I have been bad about writing… really bad… That being said, my introspection continues… the holidays parties continue to flow from one to the next to the next… and my internet should be all set by this weekend, so I guess that’s progress....
Grovel for Gravel
For whatever reason I could NOT sleep last night… I always get a little cabid-feversih this time of year…. Hence the 2am phone conversations/ emails about capitalism, physics and the American Dream… Anyway, I’m ready to pack my pink and green suitcase and jet off somewhere without explanation. One place that’s always fun to...

Every now and then I miss New York. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve accepted the fact that I’m a Boston girl at heart (cold, aloof, you know the drill), but there’s something about New York I’ve missed ever since I left. Something about the feel, the smell, the vibe of the city. Maybe that’s why...
Elsie’s Secret
Victoria’s Secret just doesn’t do it for me… I mean as much as I enjoy their marketing, the actual products just don’t impress. The bras are fine, but not worth $48. Their undies are cute, but not amazing. That’s why I love Elsie’s custom line On The Inside. She makes everything to order, which...
Celebrate the Sox (With Cool Tees and Sweats!)
Today was opening day for the Red Sox (they won!)… now I know it makes me a bad Bostonian, but I have to say I’m not the biggest Sox fan. Baseball just doesn’t do it for me (I’m more of a Celtics girl). I am however, a big fan of the Bean and of Amy...
Baby got (padded) back
I told my co-workers I’m trying to keep my sense of humor this week. Along those lines, this post is for Alana. I told you they make booty underwear. In all honesty, there’s so much I could say about this, I’m speechless. (For some interesting perspectives see Butt Seriously, The Rebirth of the Booty, etc.)....
You Know Who You Are…
Don’t even pretend like you don’t have one. Every girl…every guy… (unless he is one) has a friend who is, yes I said it, a manwhore. You know exactly what I’m talking about. You make plans to go out with him on Friday. He shows up wearing some “fresh” ensemble reeking of designer cologne. You...
At the heart of it… you’re a part of it
As I’m sure you’re well aware, plastic bags are like, so 5-minutes ago (sorry, I watched Clueless today…). Anyway, not only do plastic bags look tacky, but each one, from production to destruction, is killing our planet! That’s why I love the new BYOB (bring your own bag) trend that’s taking over on the East...
Jammin’
Finally! The weekend! I still have very mixed feelings about Urban Outfitters, so I was reluctant to write about these earphones (U.O. was the only place I could find them!)– but they’re just so hot! These rich, decadent oversized DJ headphones are designed by Boosted and are the ultimate upgrade for your personal sound system....
Good in Bed/ Waffo maniac
Yesterday was one of those days where I literally couldn’t do or say anything right. The worst part was, as I knew I was messing up as I was doing it, but I still couldn’t help myself. It was like “word vomit” from the movie Mean Girls. The day dragged and dragged and by...
Obama-Oakland Style
I was definitely right about this week… its been crazy. Its only Wednesday and I already have dreams of throwing on one of my favorite t-shirts, a pair of sweats and relaxing all weekend (for the first time in a long time I only have one event planned!!). If you’re lacking the “favorite t-shirt”...
