COVID impacted us in so many ways and this chapter of our lives looks vastly different than we ever anticipated. We have made the tough decision to end our NYC adventure a lot sooner than planned.

Our Tiny NYC Apartment Bathroom

It’s been a while since I posted much about our shoebox, err I mean, our apartment! Lol… But for reals we live in a very tiny space and have had to get very creative about organization!

Sweetgreen for Dinner

It’s been a while since I’ve done a restaurant experience recap! (It’s kind of hard when COVID-19 rules still don’t allow us to eat inside NYC restaurants at this time!) But we order takeout about once a week currently and tonight we had an amazing experience trying Sweetgreen so I wanted to share about it!!
