The most New York night: Seeing The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon

    My love (and luck) for contests continues to grow. I recently won two VIP tickets to The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon and it was the most New York experience I’ve had yet.

This church has been my place of refuge, my safe spot– a place where I could escape … Continue reading A church that occupies all streets: Hillsong New York City

New York City’s first snow

I feel like I rediscovered New York City all over again, but in a new enchanted, whimsical sort of way.

Walking through Central Park was an absolute winter wonderland. Never did I … Continue reading New York City’s first snow

Up at 3 A.M. for Niall Horan on the TODAY show

This past week showed me that 13-year-old me still isn’t over One Direction. Heck, 20-year-old me is still wholeheartedly obsessed and willing to get up before the sun does just to get a glimpse of any one of the boys. They’re each going their own separate ways pursuing solo careers and it seems like the opportunities to see them in smaller and more intimate settings … Continue reading Up at 3 A.M. for Niall Horan on the TODAY show
