True Detective is BACK! . . . Or, at least, it was back. The long awaited fourth installment of HBO’s critically acclaimed fictional-true-crime detective drama dropped earlier this year, and at only six episodes to the show’s usual eight, the brilliantly atmospheric Night Country felt like it came and went in a flash (which it…
Planning Our Dream Wedding in 2024
2023 was a landmark year for Dillon and I, from our engagement in April 2023 to a crazy year full of food, family, friends, and fun, plus a lot of frenzied (but fun!!) scrambling to piece together our dream wedding in 2024. Well, now, it’s 2024, and, with our wedding 222 days away as of…
Loki Season 2, Reviewed
Glorious purpose indeed! In a high watermark for Phase 4, Loki Season 2 delivers a deeply satisfying conclusion to the Loki Disney+ saga. This is what top tier Marvel looks like. The character arc of Loki has to be one of the most insane in all of pop culture. This was a man who viewed…
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (2023)
Image via @tstheerastourfilm on Instagram I don’t know how it gets better than this… the mastermind herself, Ms. Taylor Swift, spectacularly delivered in this bejeweled and bedazzled three hour musical showcase of unprecedented talent and showmanship. It’s not hard to see why Taylor is on top of the world right now, with consistently sold out…
A Haunting in Venice (2023)
A Haunting In Venice served, for us, as the perfect introduction to spooky season this fall. The backdrop of a dimly lit Venice in the midst of a severe coastal storm, cut off from the rest of the world, functioned perfectly for this hybrid amalgamation of suspense, mystery, murder, and a twist of paranormal horror….
Summer of Movies 2023
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (8.7) Our favorite entry in the trilogy, this movie was stunning visually and tied a perfectly crafted bow around the gift that was this iteration of the Guardians of the Galaxy. The comedy and banter between the team was as witty as ever and we had an absolute blast…

3 Days in Zion & Bryce Canyon National Parks
I will start off by saying that four nights (and three full days) is not nearly enough time to fully experience Las Vegas, Bryce Canyon, and Zion National Park. But, as far as packed itineraries go, I maintain that ours was pretty perfect. We flew in from New York and arrived in Las Vegas on…
A Visit to Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park
Hawaii’s Big Island is a lunar-like landscape of black volcanic rock paired with romantically swaying palm fronds and vibrant pops of color in the form of birds, flowers, and the sprawling expanse of deep blue and sparkling turquoise shallows of the Pacific Ocean surrounding this sacred, isolated place. Getting there from New York City back…
6 MAGICAL DAYS IN COSTA RICA
I feel so very fortunate that we got to spend six days in magnificent Costa Rica back in April of 2022, exploring beaches and jungles and volcanoes. A little over a year later, I am still so pleased with all of the amazing wildlife that I had the opportunity to view firsthand on this trip….
