This past weekend finally felt like summer in NYC. It was hot and sunny, people were out and about dressed in their summer attire, streets were full, cafés were packed and there was a feeling of happiness and true summer vibes. It was one of those weekends that reminds you of how special this city is. I met with friends and one of the topics that came up was summer travel. Some friends are travelling within the US, while others are planning on going to more exotic places like

I hope that you’re enjoying this holiday-filled month. My friend and I decided to escape the madness of the holidays during covid times and met up for dinner at a lovely Italian restaurant in Carroll Gardens. We spoke about the past year and our hopes for the new year . Then it clicked that I should write about manifesting and making your dreams a reality. The concept of manifesting can feel broad at times but, for me, it comes down to having a goal and making it happen i

In the last months, slowly but surely life has become more normal – we have adapted to the COVID situation , public transportation is full, there is traffic on the roads again, people are out and about, and it has been super busy with helping clients organize and move. Travel has become a lot more common, and I was grateful to have the opportunity to take a quick trip overseas to Israel ( it had been over 2 years since my last trip! ) . I packed light and my suitcase consist

Valentine’s Day is this week and I almost forgot! What reminded me that we are in February is the insanely cold and wintry days we have been having in NYC. It started off with a snowstorm and then another followed, then more snow, ice, slush, well, you get my point. I ask myself often, can it get any colder? On those especially cold days, I find myself daydreaming of being in warm weather, sitting on the beach with loved ones, and escaping the winter ( South Beach, I miss yo

And just like that we are less than a day away from 2021! When reflecting on the past year, how does one describe it? My first reaction is to use words such as quarantine, closures, loss, fear, health risks, Covid-19 ( we cannot leave that one out! ) , virtual meetings , uncertainty and then more uncertainty. When I dig deeper and really think about this year: It was a year of learning how many things I had taken for granted and appreciating them so much more; It was a year

Most of us were glued to our television at one point last night watching the results of the presidential campaign come in. Earlier that day, I was on my way to my client and walked by Central Park. I noticed that some of the streets were blocked off, there were more police out and it was a quieter day than normal. There was an eerie calmness in the streets, which was unusual for NYC ( even in this period ) . Let’s fast forward to a little after midnight…I was a bit tired of l

I hope everyone is doing well and keeping cool ( here in NYC there is an insane heatwave going on…but I’ll take it over a cold winter day! ) . It has been well over three months since a lot of my clients, friends, and family have started working from home. At first, we all thought it would be a temporary situation, but as things slowly reopen it looks like a lot of companies will start working at full capacity in the beginning of next year ( hopefully sooner! ) . Sometimes,

The first official day of spring was back in March but it feels like so much has been going on since then with the global pandemic situation, being sheltered in place in NYC, and the uncertainty of it all. It’s easy to lose track of the days and before you know it, warm weather has arrived. This last weekend was particularly warm outside in NYC - the sun was shining, summer cocktails were in the works, and there was that pop of energy that you get when you feel the warmer w

One of the hottest markets today is housing. All over the United States, property values have steadily increased. As such, it’s the perfect time for anyone looking to make a tidy profit from selling their home. However, due to the fierce level of competition, anyone who wants to sell their home must stand out in their neighborhood and show prospective buyers why their house is the best option. One of the most crucial parts in making a proper sale is how you stage the home. T

As most friends, family, and colleagues are working from home due to the current global situation, this is a great time to optimize organization and decluttering to create a safe and productive environment. Cultivating a peaceful space to live and work can help you gain control and feel calmer during challenging times, which will reduce stress and can boost your immune system.
