Things I Have Learned Since Moving To Manhattan

I have been a Manhattanite for 2 months now. Two wonderful months of having cross streets and hearing honking from my bedroom. Two months of lights and crowds and city all around me, all the time. I thrive off this energy. I love waving to my doormen and crossing a busy intersection in the morning. [...]

It’s All Going To Be Okay

I am a mess of inspiration today. To many stories to read, to many videos to watch, to much love to have for people. If we’ve learned anything from this year, let it be that Life can be tragic and Life can be horrible, but at it’s core, there is something so beautiful about humanity [...]

How To Survive Your First Bikram Yoga Class

 My roommate is a Yogi. Like not in that “I occasionally practice and like the burn” way but the “I devote 2-3 hours a day in a 105 degree room working my butt off for the practice” kind of way.  And this isn’t just Yoga, its Bikram Yoga, one of the most intense practices in [...]

See Ash Cycle: Soul Cycle

As part of my May project, I have been trying a ton of new workouts all around the city.  While I fell in love with all the fun of Broadway Bodies, I decided to go with something a little more cardio based for my second adventure, so I choose a class which I had heard a [...]

Happy Mother’s Day

I use to be really tough on my mom.  We’d get into huge fights over silly unimportant things and I would stomp to my room slam the door and yell about how awful she was.  I use to find any reason or every reason to not speak to her for days and just say things [...]

Happy Birthday Baby Brother (Part 5)

Today my baby brother Ayden turns 8 years old. WHAT? How could this drool-y, silly, pokemon loving, zombie fighting, Ipad expert be almost in 3rd grade. I was a freshman in high school when he was BORN. But he is apparently and now I feel old. I love this little boy to pieces. I love [...]

New York

Becoming An Un-Jaded New Yorker

I have lived in New York City for almost 5 years. 5 years, that’s a half a decade, that’s almost one quarter of my life. I’ve dreamed of living in New York City since I was 8, so that is most of my life devoted to one place, this one place, and I love it. [...]

“If You Find Me”- A Debut Novel by Emily Murdoch

I have become obsessed with new authors. Okay this sounds silly because of course every author has to be a new author at some point, but what I mean is through twitter, I have found a community of recently publish, self published and unpublished authors who I seriously admire. Maybe its because I not-so-secretly want [...]

The Museum Of Bad Art

I am all about weird and different travel adventures. In Naples I spent an afternoon in the Exotic Art Exhibit at the Naples Museum, I’ve enjoyed International Pillow Fighting Day in three different cities (Columbus, New York and London) and I am always up for a Haunted City tour, which is why when I heard [...]

See Ash Dance: Broadway Bodies

I am a musical addict, I love to sing along to Wicked, and spin around my apartment to Hairspray, but while trying to find my perfect workout class, I didn’t even really consider a dance class. You see, I am not really a dancer, I don’t have rhythm, I can’t shake my booty without looking [...]
