Pick Me Ups

Goodbyes suck. There's pretty much no way around how much they suck. Although I'm beyond happy about my decision to move to the city, having to say bye to the people I love is a downfall that I'm still coping with (duh, it's only been 4 days). The good news is that I'm in a city that has constant little reminders to stay positive and that there's love all around. Below are a few little pick me ups that have helped me out of my goodbye funk and will hopefully bring a smile to your face! Happy Tuesday!

And remember, it's never goodbye...it's see you later!

Made the Move

Hey everyone! 

I know it’s been a while since I last posted, but I figured I’d share some pretty exciting news. I decided to make the move to the BIG apple! There were definitely many factors that went into this decision, but the driving force was my life long dream of actually making it and surviving in the city on my own (also, the fact that I want to be Anne Hathaway in The Devil Wears Prada). I was a bit hesitant to make the move because of the fact I’d be so far away from my family (and Publix and Chicken Kitchen and Whisk) but I reasoned with “hey, it’s just like leaving to college…only this time, I’ll be paying”. For now, I will be staying at one of my best friends apartment in the Lower East Side until I get a job and apartment of my own. I plan on posting about this adventure way more frequently (I’ve said that the last three posts) and hope to entertain you all with my successes and failures and celebrity run-ins – oh, and of course the colors of the week! WOOOOO Polish&Pistachios takes New York!

Wish me luck on the subway

Mardi Party

Hellooo! This past weekend I went to New Orleans with my friends to celebrate Mardi Gras. The getaway was therapeutic and much needed. New Orleans is by far one of my favorite cities; the people are so friendly, the food is delicious/very different from what I normally eat, and don't even get me started on the drinks. I hope you're all stuffing your faces (since it's Fat Tuesday) and are having a great day! Below are a few of my favorite moments of the trip. Enjoy!
