Be Your Own Inspiration

So yes, I've been missing in action this summer. Life just got a little wild since my last post. Juggling dating, a new career, multiple weddings, work and travel was just about all I could manage and frankly, I was feeling disconnected from writing. I just felt as if I was starting to move beyond my original intentions for OTMITM, let alone have the energy to post. That

As I was walking home through Chinatown the other day, I was waiting for the light to turn at Mott and Grand when a guy approached me and "meowed" at me right in the face. MEOW as in kitty-style. Well, at first I had the typical New Yorker reaction of pissed off/shocked/don't make me hit you attitude...but then I quickly laughed and decided that attracting the attention of man/cat hybrids is just

I don't know about you, but I've got spring fever! It's finally warming up (to the 70's!) in the city and with all the neon and floral brights around, I'm feeling inspired to ditch the majority of my closet and totally revamp my look for the season. I'm still digging through my clothes and sorting for the donation pile, but before embarking on a shopping binge, I've challenged myself to wear the

Did everyone survive?!?! Valentine's is so much pressure, but I hope everyone had a great holiday whether you're on or off the market! Despite Little Italy being decorated to the max, I hardly noticed the holiday much myself. I've definitely been in a bubble here, immersed in dance classes, voice lessons, auditions and temping in between. This past month has been a real adjustment in terms of

After suffering through it a few days solo, I was in touch with a few friends this week only to discover we've all caught the same thing. It's a new year, and we're in a funk. Did you know that the third Monday of January was proclaimed Blue Monday? Blame it on the yearly combination of the post-holiday work crunch, S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and the loss of fire surrounding New Year's

New Chapter

So it's been a LONG time since I've written. I have had a serious lack of creative juices due to a lot of change going on in this New Yorker's life.First, I turned 27! Older and wiser? We shall see how the year unfolds, but let's hope so. As much as I love birthdays, and I did have a great one, they are bittersweet every year....but now that I'm 27, I decided it was time for my first blind date!

Singles: Time to Get Rustic! (sponsored post)

As a single, I've learned to cook for one. Chili and casseroles-portion and freeze. PBJ? Check. Really desperate? Granola bar on the go. But as far as my favorites go, nothing beats ordering in a pizza and enjoying it solo. As in, eating all of it SOLO. Yes, in one sitting.Ah...the single life.Needless to say, I can't keep pizza around for that very reason. I have no self-control (surprise,

Thursday Deals!

Happy Thursday guys! I woke up this morning early and yet refreshed-such a rarity for me, especially with the rainy weather, but I managed to sleep so well. I attribute my perfect zzz's to the mix of reading Spirit Junkie (a post on this new book to come!) while eating zeppoles in bed. If you don't know what zeppoles are, you're missing out! This deep-fried dough dessert is being served around

It's been a whirlwind of a week-which I've decided may be the entry for every blog post since (gasp!) every week I say the same thing...I promise I'm working on the originality! But to get down to the post at hand. I have been working through and on a lot of things-multiple auditions which is always exciting, getting to catch up with old friends from home as well as those in town I haven't seen
