If you're looking for a new nail tech, ready to upgrade your set, or it's just been way too long since your last mani, you need to check out _nathalyann in Medford. She has transformed my nails over and over again, and every single time, she nails exactly what I need, whether
The kids' first day back to school, and I spent it at the dentist. 2.5 hours. Turns out I have more major issues than anticipated. We're now trying to figure out how to handle. I've got a few important events coming up and I can NOT be walking around with a
This will be hard, but it will be ok. There are a hundred reasons I'd want to homeschool my neurodivergent kids. There are a million reasons I have to send them anyway. Mentally, emotionally, physically, financially, whatever it is for you, if you're sending your kids off even
Think every lash set has to be bold and dramatic? Think again. Soft, natural, wispy lashes can still make a statement, proof that less really is more sometimes! There are endless styles to pick from (some even more subtle than these), and there's truly no wrong way to do your
The proper way to say goodbye to summer... We attended Dan's Taste and Dan's Papers' final event of the summer at Hallockville Museum Farm in Riverhead, and what a way to close it out. The space was stunning, tents set up everywhere, and so many incredible local vendors and
Learning to trust my body... I took the Headstand, Handstand & Forearm Conditioning class at thecheekypeachli in Patchogue, and it was so much more than I expected. It's not about flipping yourself up and hoping for the best, it's about actually building strength, warming up
And nobody lost an eyebrow! At casa_de_catrina located in Carle Place, right across from the mall, you can find some amazing dishes like the fiery octopus. Great spot for lunch or dinner after back to school shopping. So many specials to choose from: Red Snapper โ served over
Work from home parent hack: pack up your laptop (or bring a battery pack for your phone), head to the library, and let your kids enjoy free educational games, making friends, a water play area, and musical instruments while you actually get work done! We got 3 HOURS of
Not every post is gonna be the perfect lighting, perfect angle, no line, no rush kinda moment! Sometimes the sun's not cooperating, your hands are full, you're being rushed, but post it anyway. That's literally what these brands, businesses, and venues want, the shoutout, the
Growing up, I never saw women who looked like me celebrated as confident, sexy, deserving of the spotlight. This shoot with Melissa (@boudoirbymelissam) was my way of giving that to my younger self. There's no size requirement. No "getting ready" first. You show up exactly as
We told pantanosdozbagels to surprise us and they did NOT hold back! So we found this gem in New Hyde Park (they've also got locations all over, like Garden City & Freeport!). No allergies here so we said go wild, here's what we got: ๐ฅฏ Bagel of the week: scallion cream
My daughter's face with this payphone at pantanosdozbagels! All jokes aside... these kids will never know the struggle of a payphone, a beeper, or waiting for T-Mobile's free minutes to start! We showed her what it was like and she was NOT here for the wait. On another note,
Feel like a lot of lash styles are too much for you? Say less. These are just soft, natural, wispy lashes that still make a statement, sometimes less really is more! There are so many styles to choose from, even ones more natural than these, and honestly, there's no right or
No chicken nuggets here, my kids are out here trying whole fried fish and grilled octopus like absolute champs. Honestly, their palates put mine to shame at that age. Safe to say this generation is built different. So we went to casa_de_catrina in Carle Place, right across the
Spoiler: they don't. This body carried me through a lot, and it deserves golden hour just as much as anyone else's. So we chased the light anyway. Woke up at 5am and took an early drive to catch the summer sunrise at Captree State Park. Thanks to kcollectionsphotographyli, we
Same shot, three different moods! Captree state park had me feeling some type of way. Which tone speaks to you, 1, 2, or 3? Genuinely can't decide?! Vote on the poll or rank your favorites in comments, I need answers ASAP so kcollectionsphotographyli can get these edited! Salt
I never expected to face so many storms. Each one felt heavier than the last, and in the middle of it, the light at the end seemed impossibly far away. The exhaustion, the constant struggle, it swallowed me whole, trapping me in a cycle that felt like a nightmare I couldn't wake
I finally checked out NY Axe Throwing's Westbury, NY location, and it's so much more than axe throwing! Think interactive golf simulators, archery, darts, ping pong, an entertainment venue that has it all. Honestly one of the best things to do in Westbury for date night, girls
We tried nipponchawestbury in Westbury and my pickiest eater ate EEL without even realizing it! We went as a family for a dinner date after swim lessons nearby, and honestly wasn't sure how the kids would do, but this Japanese tea cafรฉ blew us away. Sweet staff, gorgeous
