Life Update: Where I’ve Been

I feel like I haven’t sat down and shared my thoughts in a while. First and foremost, how is everyone? I’ve been so busy lately with work and travel, that I haven’t spent much time checking in. For those who don’t know, I quit my job in as marketing specialist in March 2021 and vacationed…

Notes From The Weekend: Rooftop in Weehawken, NJ

Happy Monday! One of my favorite things about this time of year is that it is rooftop season. There’s just something special about good ole elevation. My uncle had dinner at Marcus at NoHu Rooftop in Weehawken, NJ for his birthday in June and was raving to me about it. There are tons of rooftops…
