March Edit

Can you believe we are Marching into spring so quickly?!

Can you believe how lame my dad jokes are?!

Oh we have so much to chat about. 2017 is in full swing y’all and I have been busying myself with traveling, letter writing {whattup Liz, Ed, Joey K the Third}, commuting from the suburbs {3 weeks down, ??? to go}, and Uber Lyfting between all of the fun new places in town!

Here’s what I’ve been doing, buying, and craving this quarter::

Pop-Up Makery at The Street // What do you get when you mix 10+ boss ladies with an empty retail space in a super creative city? Meet the Makery.

This endeavor deserves a post of its own, but I want to get you in here as soon as possible! Staying true to form, The Street has launched another pop-up:: “an event-driven space devoted to interactive classes and workshops, led by six of Boston’s most creative and locally grown brands: Alice’s Table, The Paint Bar, The Third Piece, Sip & Script, Niche and Artists for Humanity.“

All those flower classes I’ve chatted your ear off about? All those paint-night date-nights you hear about? All those Pinteresty projects you wish you had someone to hold your hand through? They’re all here. Knitting, calligraphy, cartooning—check out the schedule and I dare you to find one workshop you couldn’t love. Almost 20 classes alone this month!

Boutique Fitness // This feels like a bit of a joke to write about now, in which I haven’t broken a sweat in about three four weeks, BUT—believe it or not—I was doing well in the resolutions department for a hot second. In addition to (305) Fitness, I’ve also burned some calories at Xtend Barre and Recycle Studio recently, with a little push from my friends at Bumble BFF.

In typical Newbury Street fashion, these studios are c-h-i-c. Light and bright makes me a lot more motivated that some certain club-like workout environments, I have to say. My Xtend class burned like hell, but was SHOCKINGLY enjoyable, especially for this former dancer.

Recycle was easily the most fun spin class I’ve been to. Maybe it helped that I had Jenna by my side, but I walked out of there feeling more confident than after any other class I’ve taken in Boston. They also have a location in the South End if you prefer to not get caught walking down Newbury Street dripping in sweat.

Sephora Faneuil Hall // Wowowow. This Sephora. We’re not in the Pru anymore honey! It just popped up on the edge of Faneuil Hall and is making a statement for. sure. If you’re not visiting for the cosmetics, visit for the crazy contemporary architecture that pops like a bold red lip against historic Quincy Market.

Keds x Rifle Paper Co // If you know me, you know that this needs no further explanation. My pair arrived last night. Shop the whole collection right here::

Your Voice // Make it heard.

I told you I’d keep this blog light, but I also told you we need to keep up the momentum. I’ve commended bloggers like Julia and Mackenzie for using their platforms to welcome important and necessary discussions, given everything our country has witnessed over the last few months. This is my monthly reminder to, please, stay informed and stay active. Have you called or written to your senators yet? I’ve left my name on a lottttt of voicemails over the past couple months, but if you prefer to write it down, do it!

Two beaut Boston ladies—Madeline & Lindsey—launched Joy Street & Co. after the Women’s March, and I recommend heading over there so you can grab yourself some March Mail:: Each pack contains two postcards, one to keep & a second pre-postmarked and addressed to one of your senators {based on your billing address}. Half the work has been done for you—what excuse do you have left? Time to speak up errbody.

And I’ll leave it at that xx
