Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Central Park Boathouse

A couple of weeks ago, one of my friends from home (hi Daniela!) came to visit New York. We spent one afternoon with some of my school friends in Central Park. We decided to be totally clichés and rent rowboats. It was quite…an experience. It was actually lovely, even if I’m not an Olympic rower, and the weather and lake were beautiful!

Nancy was the most capable rower of us all.

Turtles!

Nancy, I can’t thank you enough for capturing this moment.

Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend!

Words of Wisdom from Mom

The authors at The Frisky put together a list of 21 Important Lessons from Mom. On this Mother’s Day, I thought I would share some of my favorites:

Happy Mother’s Day! What is the best advice your mom has given you?

Truffula Trees Are What Everyone Needs

Top – Target; Watch – street vendor; Skirt – thrifted; Heels – Payless.

Let me reintroduce you all to my closet door. Until I buy a tripod here in New York, it’s the best I can do for a background when I prop my camera on my dresser. Boring, I know. But one day soon I’ll get a tripod and be legit, promise.

I wore this today for an interview for a summer internship. I’ll be doing social media a couple days a week for The TRUF, a non-profit theatre group. I’ll also be interning at the Norwood News, a community paper here in the Bronx, part-time. It’ll be a busy summer, but I’m hoping to learn a lot.

And can I tell you about this pencil skirt? It’s one half of the suit I bought during winter break for interview purposes. Grand total? $12. And did I mention it’s silk? Thanks, Goodwill.

And then a month later, I blogged about Nice and Monaco…

Just wanted to share a few (ok, a lot!) of the last leg of my spring break trip! But guess what? I’m already on summer break! (I had the biggest breaks when it came to my final schedule.) Hopefully this means I can hop back on the blogging bandwagon.

P.S. Happy belated 21st birthday to my friend Nancy!
