Taking Another Break.
Hey Guys & Dolls,
I wanted to take a moment to get on here and let you all know that I’ll be taking the rest of the year off from blogging, and I plan to return in full swing come January. As many of you are already aware, my mother passed away in December of last year, and this will be my very first full holiday season without her. I won’t sugarcoat things; I need this time to process everything.
I realize that I won’t be at my best during this period, and I anticipate feeling like a mess. Every holiday I’ve faced so far this year has posed its unique challenges, but this one—Christmas—is particularly difficult for me. This is the one that feels completely ruined.
My mother passed away on the day after Christmas, and it’s been incredibly hard for me to muster the energy or desire to partake in any holiday activities. So, I kindly ask for your understanding and patience as I take this necessary time for myself.
For now, check out a few older posts to get by:
Check out my galleries as well, including my travel posts, and make sure to follow me on Instagram, as I’m sure I’ll be posting there a bit more frequently.
I truly appreciate every one of you. I love you all so much and am incredibly grateful for all the love and support you continue to show me. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!
Thank you!

Whether you're visiting New York City for the first time or planning a delightful staycation (which I highly recommend, by the way), picking the right hotel truly matters. This vibrant city offers an abundance of options — some are iconic landmarks, others maintain a low-key charm, and then there are those that just perfectly capture the unique vibe of NYC. With that in mind, I put together a thoughtfully curated list of hotels in NYC that I genuinely love — places I’ve personally stayed in, toured extensively, or bookmarked for my future travels. Whether you’re looking to splurge on a luxurious escape or find a cozy spot that’s budget-friendly yet stylish, there’s something here for you to consider.
