  • Expat in Colombia | Monique Wise

    Where are you from? I was born and raised in Washington, DC. If I’m not in a foreign country you can usually find me back there trying to spend a bit of time with my mom before heading off to the next location.  What brought you to make the world your home? I always say…

  • Talking (and getting) ink with Shanzey Afzal

    For the longest time, I’ve been contemplating my third tattoo. I knew exactly what I wanted, where I wanted it, but wasn’t committed on where to go. The artist of my second was through a recommendation, but also located deep into Alphabet City; which meant no subways were in a weather-convenient walking distance. During the…

  • Expat in Istanbul | Sara Rubenstein

    Where are you from originally? I’m from West Chester, Ohio. It’s a suburb outside Cincinnati. Where are you now? Now I’m in Istanbul, Turkey. My neighborhood is Ortaköy, which means “middle village”. What made you move? A whirlwind marriage. Just kidding! When I graduated university, I spent some time teaching English in Cambodia. I returned…

  • Michelle Staton talks Bitcoin

    Over the last week, I’ve seen the words bitcoin, blockchain, cryptocurrency so much, it was all I could think about. After reaching out to the wonderful women of Dreamers // Doers, Michelle Staton kindly offered to answer all my burning questions on this newfound obsession. Michelle L. Staton is a NYC-based technologist. Her background is…

  • Alison Denbigh talks game!

    I love a good board game. From Scrabble to Cranium to The Game of Life to Monopoly… a good board game can truly make any gathering. But how do these games come about and who are the real geniuses behind them? Well, earlier this summer I met Alison Denbigh, co-creator of Watch Ya’ Mouth. A…

  • Expat in Italy | Sierra Busch

    Where are you from originally? I grew up in the Appalachian Mountains in North Georgia. It was a unique childhood I appreciate more and more and a place I love to coming back to. Where are you now? I actually just moved back here – a nourishing base while I’m building my travel business. But…

  • Allison McGuire Talks the Walc | Part II

    So what do you think about that show Shark Tank? What are your thoughts on that? I think it sort of gives the idea that people who have money can invest in me. “This is so easy. All I have to do is get in front of them and pitch it,” and there’s nothing else…

  • Allison McGuire Talks the Walc | Part I

    People commonly ask,”What did we do before Google Maps?” Well, the short answer is we used a map, or hoped whomever was giving us directions knew where they were going. It’s now 2017 and most people have access to a smart phone or internet connection to detail what roads to take, or avenues to bypass…

  • Expat in New York City | Amanda Bostrom

    Where are you from originally? I was born and raised in Sweden and consider myself to be Swedish. My heritage is Swedish/Finish. It might not sound like a big deal, but Finland has only been independent from Sweden since 1917. And it’s still kind of considered a “thing” when you’re both Swedish and Finish, especially…

  • Fern Olivia talks Thyroid Yoga at Saks Wellery

    Health is a constant topic up for discussion that has now been inundated with people who use fear tactics to convince society to alter their way of living. So much so that your pals have turned into a grass eating gaggle that do nothing but tell the world they are #plantbased, #dirtyWhole30, #Vegan4Lyfe, or whatever…

  • Party Planning w/ Evite’s Jessica Bailey

    It’s easy to plan a get together, it’s even easier to do it all wrong. A few weeks back, we got the 411 from Evite’s in-house Party Stylist, Jessica Bailey, on how to party plan the most efficient way.  (That includes telling guests it’s time to go, without telling them, “it’s time to go.”) How…

  • Johnny Lavoy textured tips for PRO Beauty

    A few weeks back Pro Beauty Tools showcased some of their upcoming launches with a mini-beauty school by celebrity hairstylist Johnny Lavoy instructing. He took us through hair trends, how to achieve them at home, different techniques of varying lengths, and so much more. As attendees tested newly acquired tips, Johnny talked me through using Pro…
