Rants and Raves: The Worst Adult on Adult Facebook Behavior(1)
In the past, I’ve made plenty of opinionated comments about many topics on my blog. Some have upset others but through discussions, I’ve always been able to explain my position on things and usually, it ends in an understanding and a hug – and sometimes a few people saying they appreciate my perspective. I’m never… Read More ›
Rants and Raves: Posing for Photos – What to Do With Your Arms
If there’s one thing many D.C. peeps have, it’s a love of the camera. It cracks me up actually, to see overly-posed women (solo and in groups), taking picture after picture, as if someone (out of nowhere) is going to discover them and make them the next face of Chanel. (It makes me laugh even… Read More ›
Rants and Raves: A Tasting Dinner with Private Chef Donn Souliyadeth
Last night a small group of us headed over to Kora Restaurant to embark upon a feast of the senses, in a private pop-up tasting dinner with private Chef Donn Souliyadeth.

Book Reviews: Borgia Bride
Almost uncanny timing, I just finished reading Borgia Bride – another book that was impossible to put down. Set in the 1400′s – 1500′s, “Vivacious Sancha of Aragon arrives in Rome newly wed to a member of the notorious Borgia dynasty.

Restaurant/Bar Reviews: A Night of Dining in Alexandria
A few weeks ago, my girlfriend and I decided that we were spending too much time downtown in D.C. and not enough time exploring other areas, just minutes away. It was decided that we would venture out to Old Town Alexandria, to try some places we had never been to, yet apparently, they had been… Read More ›
Book Reviews: Night Circus
I’m a huge fan of books that take you to a faraway place – an escape that brings you into an entirely different world. For me, books that spark my imagination, that bring something magical to life, are what pique my interest most. This was entirely the case for Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. An… Read More ›
Rants and Raves: DC’s Social Scene Unfiltered
My good friend Kate Michael, and owner of K Street Magazine, wrote a great piece, entitled, “What is Wrong with DC’s Social Scene?!” In the article, she talks about how no matter how amazing the party is on paper, people’s conversations are shallow, void of any substance, and make the party seem drab and dull. … Read More ›
Rants and Raves: Mid-30′s Crisis or Reflection?
In 5 months and two days, I will be 35. (I’m not afraid to admit it, mainly because I was blessed with great genes from two great, youthful parents.) In 2 months and 15 days, I have to make some very big, adult decisions that I never thought I’d be making alone. The question is,… Read More ›
Performance Reviews: Septime Webre’s The Nutcracker
It seems these days that getting into the Christmas spirit is harder and harder to do. With demanding jobs, families and a zillion other things to think about, it seems downright impossible to even take a second to experience any of the “magic” that comes with this time. I love Christmas and all that comes… Read More ›
