One of my goals in 2015 (and every year) is to read more, and I definitely stepped it up. I love sharing the ones that I enjoyed (and couldn't stop thinking about); here are my top 4 from 2015. The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins: The “girl on the train” is Rachel, who commutes into London …

Restaurant: Iron Rooster Neighborhood: Canton (at Canton Crossing) Architecture/Ambiance: Iron Rooster occupies the former Farmstead Grill space, which is open with soaring beams and a nice whitewash. Service: It was a media event, so I'm sure it was turned up a notch, but they were quick, friendly, and up for a little bantering. Food, food, food: Pro tip: …

Remember how I had the amazing opportunity to try Classpass for free for one month and I wrote about the classes that I did in the first week? After that, you'd assume that I tried a bunch more and fell deeply in love with some new form of exercise, right? Don't be so silly. I realized …

I started with ClassPass last week and, while I didn't get to as many classes as I had hoped, it did at least get me off my butt. I started with Hot Vinyasa Express at Charm City Yoga in Fells Point. I like yoga for the occasional stretch, but if I am using it as a workout, I …

Let's pretend it hasn't been exactly one month since I've posted and just dive into this Stitch Fix order. Laina 3/4 Sleeve Striped Tie-Waist Dress ($38) It's super soft, which is nice, and I love grey, but it's kind of a terry cloth material, which makes it feel more like a beach cover-up. Esten …

UPDATED: Includes my comments, your comments, and what I kept. I can't believe this is my 10th Stitchfix (<-- referral link). They still feel so new and exciting! (Want to read about my past nine Stitchfixes? Click here.) When I peeked online, I was excited to see three sleeveless tops and two dresses, which sounded …

For the past three years, around the 10th of each month, I anticipate the arrival of my new Birchbox. (If you don't know what Birchbox is, it's a small box full of sample- or full-size products for you to try. You fill out a profile with your likes, dislikes, hair color, eye color, etc. The team at Birchbox puts together …

It took me a little time to get to this Stitch Fix, so the photos were snapped this morning by my husband and I'm completely without makeup. You've been forewarned. My last Fix was less than stellar, which my stylist, Kate, noted. I'm glad that she acknowledged that because it made me feel like she …

How have I been blogging for months now but haven't reviewed Uber and Lyft, two of my very favorite services?? If you're living under a rock (or outside of a city), Uber and Lyft are ride-sharing services. Both have been in Baltimore for about 6 months (Lyft) to over a year (Uber). Here's a little …

My third Stitch Fix arrived and I was so excited to tear into it. For this Fix, I asked the stylist to only include tops. I requested that they be non-cotton and work- appropriate. My stylist was Michelle, and she delivered. I opened up the box to find five patterned and solid tops. Win! The first shirt was …
