On this Memorial Day I’m taking a moment to stop and smell the roses figuratively. It’s a day to be thankful for those who have served our country and a day to count our blessings. Sending love to each and every one of you! #memorialday #witwhimsy #mdw #roses

Got books? I’ve read 10 so far in quarantine and I’m sharing all of them + mini reviews in today’s blog post! A lot of them are light and uplifting reads (it’s what I’ve been prioritizing during this time - my anxiety can’t take a thrilled or dark drama right now 😜) + I’m sharing what I’m reading right now. I hope you find it inspiring for your next read! I know I’ve personally been craving more reading time lately as a screen time break 📚 #bookstagram #booklover #readwithme #books

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month so I would be r

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month so I would be remiss to not share a reminder that I was a skin cancer patient at 34. I had my cancer surgically removed last August. This scar remains and so does the emotional memory of being a cancer patient.⁣
⁣
A few important stats that I hope will help you be more aware of how skin cancer can permeate our lives- they’re scary but important:⁣
⁣
☀️ 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70.⁣
⁣
☀️ More than 2 people die of skin cancer in the U.S. every hour (!!)
⁣
☀️ Having 5 or more sunburns in your life doubles your risk for melanoma.⁣
⁣
☀️ In the U.S., more than 9,500 people are diagnosed with skin cancer EVERY DAY. ⁣
☀️ More people are diagnosed with skin cancer each year in the U.S. than all other cancers combined.⁣
⁣
☀️ At least one in five Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70.⁣
⁣
Please, please be sun smart moving forward. I can tell you that NO tan is worth the experience of hearing “it’s cancer...” We have the tools to be sun smart so let’s do so together! Use a physical sunscreen with zinc oxide and stop relying on chemical sunscreens. Use SPF every 👏🏻 single 👏🏻 day. Wear hats! Be prepared and keep SPF with you. Don’t sit in the sun for hours on end. And most importantly get an annual skin scan at a dermatology office as soon as you’re safely able to do so! Sending you all love and light and I hope you all stay sun safe this summer 💛 #skincancer #skincancerawarenessmonth #skincare #suncare

Our new normal: getting excited about to go cockta

Our new normal: getting excited about to go cocktails. My neighborhood was a bit late to this game so I practically squealed with excitement when I saw @elsabarnyc had started doing takeaway drinks. Despite my new found bartending skills I was ready for something I didn’t make 😜 Both of these drinks were delicious and it felt good to support a local business I used to love being a patron at. I’ve had a birthday party at Elsa, several (not very good) dates and a lot of good times with friends in the neighborhood at their establishment. I miss it. In the meantime it sure was nice to sip their famous salted watermelon frosé this last Sunday night 🥰 #witwhimsynyc #togococktails #brooklynheights #shopsmall
