Things Not to Worry About..
An excerpt from a letter F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote to his 11 year old daughter at camp. Funny how almost 80 years later it is still so applicable. “Things not to worry about: Don’t worry about popular opinion Don’t worry about dolls Don’t worry about the past Don’t worry about the future Don’t worry about [...]
Mermaid Parade in Gothamist
This year we sadly weren’t interviewed by an Asian television crew, but one of our pictures did make it on the Gothamist website! I’m happy we did because it was Lauren’s first Mermaid Parade. This woman at the parade is my hero – I hope I still get out and about like she does at [...]

Face-Off with a Lion
One of my absolute favorite magazines of all time is National Geographic. Fuck Vogue, W, Cosmo, etc. – you got nothing on nature and science.
Are You As Busy As You Think?
Interesting article about how we really use our time, and the quote is food for thought: “Change your language. Instead of saying “I don’t have time” try saying “it’s not a priority,” and see how that feels. Often, that’s a perfectly adequate explanation. I have time to iron my sheets, I just don’t want to.
