Since my last blog post, I’ve gone to so many things that absolutely were not  on my bingo card for the year. November felt full in the best way—full of rooms I hadn’t been in before, conversations I didn’t expect to have, and reminders that Syracuse keeps revealing new sides of itself the more willing I am to show up. One of the highlights was attending an album release party at Song & Dance for a local artist named PHEN , who just dropped his debut album, Kid . One of the p

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the Pretty Girls Wellness Pop-Up , hosted by Imani Monds , owner of House of Artistry Beauty Lounge . If you don’t already know Imani, she’s a Syracuse native who went to OCC for three semesters before deciding to take a leap of faith and become a licensed esthetician.

If there’s one thing Syracuse knows how to do, it’s host an outdoor movie night. Whether it's Romcoms at the Sound Garden or Wicked at the Amp, these seem to be a staple in the community for all ages. I loved going to the Moonlight Movie Series at the Amp, it was such a cool setup and fun experience but taking that walk from the parking lot with 2 little ones and a full stroller was a little difficult. That’s why I’m so excited about Syracuse's Parks and Rec's Movie Nights i
