The best part of being an adult is that sometimes you can have milkshakes for dinner. Okay, milkshakes made with greens and almond milk. But still. MILKSHAKES. #healthy #vegan #vegetarian #undressedskeleton #shamrockshake #vega

YIKES

Thu, 21 Feb 2013 10:06:19 -0500

I’ve been super terrible at updating, which I know ~~is breaking your hearts~~ no one may have even noticed. However, I’m offering my apologies. Things are rather busy at the moment. Here’s a rundown:

- LAST SEMESTER SENIOR, so obviously I should be on Tumblr more, but instead I’m trying very hard to keep up my usual work ethic and do all my readings and study study study!

- Going to class nearly all day on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.

- Interning at Teen Vogue from like 9:30-6:30 on Wednesdays and Fridays

- Still working at the Run store Saturdays 12-6

- Hitting the gym like a boss. I’ve mixed up my usual running routine with going HAM on the elliptical, lots of ab work, and class workouts (when I’m at home, I love to go to R.I.P.P.E.D or Cardio Intervals at the Y, when I’m at school, Jillian Michaels kicks my ass in 30DS or Banish Fat/Boost Metabolism. OUCH.)

- Stalking Pinterest, scoping out ideas for future apartments I will never own and food I will never make.

- Watching The West Wing and loving every second of it. (Because even though I watched it when I was a precocious 5th grader, much of it totally went over my head.) I could go on and on about my affection of/obsession with this show, but I’ll spare you. Also, props to me for actually getting academic benefits from it, because it definitely makes me understand certain concepts from my politics classes better.

- That’s basically my life right now. Follow me on Twitter where I post more frequently. Also, check out Teen Vogue’s Tumblr and Twitter accounts to see some of my work!

do you intern at teen vogue?

Fri, 25 Jan 2013 21:15:12 -0500

I do indeed. I just started my job as an online/social media intern on Wednesday.

I feel a mixture of “this is normal” and “omfgwtfbbq” about this right now. I’ve been conditioned to think that internships are a part of daily life here at NYU, especially ones at big publications, and of course I am lucky to have gotten a position at such an impressive magazine, as well.

But, still… I’ve been reading Teen Vogue since it started (I think I was like 12… that’s almost 10 years!) To actually be working in their offices… to see the racks of edits, to sit in front of huge prints of some of my favorite spreads, to feel like I’m contributing in some way shape or form… I can’t help but smile a little bit. If 12-year-old me knew that my dreams would actually be reality one day… I don’t think I’d believe how lucky and amazing my life has become.

Forgive my absence! Just enjoying break and staying away from Tumblr timesuck a bit. (Instead, I’ve been all over Pinterest….). Natalie tagged me on Tuesday and I just read it now! Here are my answers. I’ll post my questions in a bit.

1. If you could travel to any place in the world, where would you go?
Paris is my usual answer, but right now I’m feeling someplace warm… Cali, maybe?

2. Tell an embarrassing story?
Hm… how about every day of my life? Or, every encounter with a member of the opposite sex? Or the time I tripped over a trash can while running and ended up bruising my sternum? (Documented earlier on here…)

3. Best thing you’ve ever bought?
Oh geeze… Probably either my computer because I use it everyday. Although right now I’m so in love with my Nike Frees, which I had bought during the summer and was let down by a bit. I thought I’d wear them mostly for casual wear because of the lack of support, but since I’ve been hitting the gym more than the roads lately, I’ve been wearing them nonstop.

4. Would you ever go skydiving?
I don’t know… I love heights and thrills, but I chicken out way too easily. I would like to say I want to, but whether or not I’d follow through is another question.

5. What’s the best advice you’ve ever gotten?
Among many, “You have to be your own advocate.”
Or, from improv and Tina Fey, “Say yes.”

6. What is the bravest or scariest thing you’ve ever done?
So many! I would say deciding to leave Temple. I knew I wanted to transfer, and was aiming for NYU. It was especially scary after the setback I had where they didn’t get my transcript in time to admit me for fall… I knew I wasn’t going back to Temple, so I did a semester at community college not knowing whether or not they were going to accept me for spring 2011, and if not, where I would go. Happy to say it all worked out in the end :)

7. What’s your best physical attribute?
My eyes or my hair.

8. What time period would you visit if time travel was possible? Why?
The sixties or seventies. I’ve always been obsessed with that time period, from the fashion - early 60s ladylike looks (think Jackie Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn)- to movies, to politics. I’ve always especially been interested in the tumultuous political atmosphere at the time, like the counter culture and anti-Vietnam protests.

9. What’s your favorite quote?
Again, so many! Top three: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.” — Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

“The most important thing is to enjoy life - to be happy - that’s all that matters.” - Audrey Hepburn

“We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget.” — Joan Didion

10. Your house is on fire, holy shit! You have just enough time to run in there and grab one inanimate object. What is it?
It would have to be something I have in reach, so since most of my keepsakes are in storage for safekeeping… Is it bad to say my computer? Actually, since insurance can always replace that, I’d go sentimental and say my vintage Little Orphan Annie rag doll that my grandmother got me when I was really little. I loved it so hard, it had to be repaired twice.

11. Do you have any secret talents? What are they?
It’s not much of a secret, because it annoys so many people: I have very, very sensitive hearing. As in, if you’re chewing ever so slightly too loud, believe me, I will let you know.

Sorry to be a creep, but your dopplgänger is on pg 120 of the february issue of Elle. I did an article or two for the fashion section at wsn last year, but I doubt you remember me.

Fri, 18 Jan 2013 20:47:11 -0500

Haha, I’ll have to check it out! You have me intrigued. I’m super curious to see what my doppelganger looks like. Thanks for the heads up.

PS - Don’t be shy! I’m sure I’d remember you!

Teen Vogue

Tue, 18 Dec 2012 07:31:19 -0500

It’s all happening!!!!

I have accepted a web and social media internship with Teen Vogue for the spring semester! Dreams do come true, kids.

(Please don’t pinch me.)

As happy as I am, this awesome development in my life does come with a few concerns. Mainly:

1) I need new clothes, obvs.

2) Now that I am a technical employee of Conde Nast…. and a division of Vogue…. maybe I should change my blog URL….

3) Yikes. It’s 9:30-6:30 2x/week — gotta either account for WF as rest days or wake up super super super super early. Decisions, decisions.

4) I NEED NEW CLOTHES.

When in doubt, walk it out

Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:57:41 -0500

It’s cold, rainy and all-around depressing in Manhattan this weekend.

As if the weather weren’t mood-deflating enough, my sister, Casey, was supposed to come visit to run the Jingle Bell Jog in Prospect Park tomorrow, but had to cancel. Mom waited too long to buy her train tickets (she’s only 16, so there was much maternal hesitation over whether or not she would be capable of traveling alone…) But maybe it’s for the better, given the predicted rain tomorrow, anyway. Good thing we hadn’t yet registered, or we would have been out like $50 each!

Anyway, I’m still getting over a nasty stomach bug from Thanksgiving weekend. I got seriously ill the Sunday I had to come back to school - my mom wanted me to stay home so she could take care of me, but I HAD to come back because of projects and the like. So sick that I nearly passed out that day, had a fever that broke twice, and literally slept about 15 of the 24 hours between Sunday and Monday morning. The rest of the week I was still pretty nauseous and weak - I lost about four pounds overnight - and could barely walk or eat. Needless to say, my running suffered. I normally aim to log about 30 miles a week… the week before, I tapered back to around 26 in prep for the 5K. Last week, I barely squeaked by with 20.

Now I’m just getting back into running regularly, though it’s a challenge. I did around 6 on Monday and 5 on Tuesday no problem, but Wednesday I had a lot of trouble making it through 4. Just totally wiped out. So yesterday was an off day. When I woke up this morning and looked outside, I wassoooonot feeling a run, but I knew I had to suck it up or I would feel bad later. After a bit of ho-humming, I suited up, went downstairs and out the door and was greeted with a fine little drizzle. “NOPE,” I literally said out loud as I turned around and went right back inside. It was 37º and raining and I use my iPhone’s MapMyRun to track my miles/pace. Nature did NOT want me to run today.

But I still started to feel anxious, so what did I do? First, after another hour or two of kicking it, I powerwalked to the gym on the other side of campus, a mile away. No, I would not do the treadmill. With as tired as I was and sick of the treadmill from last year’s overuse, that wasn’t happening. Instead, I sat in the sauna and read the newest Runner’s World for an hour, then powerwalked back. Being sweaty makes me feel better.

Then this afternoon I felt even more anxious about not having worked out, so I went on a nice little powerwalk uptown and back… 7 miles and some change, total, to be exact. I could carry my umbrella, wear my long puffy coat, and still get in some fitness. And I kept telling myself that the weight of my Hunters was surely adding to the walk, anyway.

So 9 walking miles later, I’ve got my endorphins for the day without feeling like I had to run for a change. Weather, you can conspire all you want, but I’m still going to find someway to exercise outdoors.
