In Paradise: The Sands Point Preserve
Hello my fellow Stylegazers! As you might’ve noticed by far, I really like spending time in the nature or at old estates, those remnants of a time that I never got a chance to be a part of. Cause, you know… we are always nostalgic for those eras we were not born in. The grass is always greener on the other side, am I right?
Cultivate the Soul: 10 Ways to Live a Happier Life
The moment I walked into my positive psychology class my junior year in college, I was so ready to dismiss it. The cynic in me thought – “Pfft! Come on! As if! To teach someone how to be happy is an equivalent to trying to make Mara Rooney smile in pictures – absolutely pointless.” You either are or aren’t and that totally depends on your brain’s chemistry and the circumstances you’re in. But, was I wrong?
I Went to The 1975 Concert Alone and Here’s What Happened…
Confession: I am an avid concertgoer and have been one since my teenage angst kicked in. A year after year, and concert after concert, there happen to be two things that this music addict never experienced – seeing her favorite band at the arena and going to a concert alone.
Down by the Water…
Hello fellow Stylegazers! Our long lost friend SUN has finally decided to grace us with its presence, giving me an excuse to chill at one of Port Washington’s parks. There’s nothing I find as relaxing as just being “down by the water.” The sun and wind in your hair, the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks (or as they embrace the shore), seagulls making circles in the sky and ducks, geese and swans disrupting the
Fun in the Sun: 15 SPF-Charged Creams to Keep You Protected
Sun’s out and you know what that means? Yes – FUN! But also – safety. As soon as it starts feeling like summer out (even though we should care about these things during the "cuffing season" too), the first thing I think of is unfortunately not the bikinis, but how to properly protect myself. Call me a hypochondriac, but sun, although crucial to the life on Earth, can also be detrimental to our health.
Mother’s Day Gift Ideas Based on Personality
To the mothers in our lives: You gave us life, love and nurture. You are a parent and a friend. You are the backbone and the neck that turns our heads into right directions. You are the multitasker. You are unconditional love. You are the confidante. You are a compass and the lodestar that guides us out of the darkness. You are all of that and more. You are EVERYTHING. Without you, the life wouldn’t have the same quality and meaning as it does.
Sunny Stroll
Hello my dearest Stylegazers! Last Sunday, I’ve decided to go to the church, because let’s be honest - all of us sometimes just need to stop, reflect and work on the spiritual aspect of our existence. You never know what you can find out about yourself, when you just quiet your mind and open up your heart. It was a lovely day, so I’ve decided to take a sunny stroll in the Madison Square Park.
Opinion: “I Just Had a Change of Heart”
Heart is a fickle little thing. One moment it’s all in, next moment it’s all out. They say that “all is fair in love and war” and sometimes it seems like our heart is mercilessly waging a war on our mind and vice versa. It is a true struggle, a constant push and pull. Heart wants what it wants and our judgment is clouded, because we are so in love with an idea.

Photo courtesy of PROPS Are you constantly listening to the same artists over and over again? Is the music you’re listening to right now actually speaking to your soul?

Wear This to Feel Like it’s Vacation Every Day
If you’re not on vacation, just like me my friend – why not trick your mind into thinking that you actually are? Now, this shouldn’t limit your productivity and I’m not suggesting you should leave your brain on the shelf - au contraire... I believe that you can definitely get into that celebratory and chillaxed mode, just like you would when you’re vacationing, without hindering your day-to-day functioning.
