Two years ago, I decided to jump back into the blogging world and launched Sincerely Shanti (see my first post here). While sometimes it feels like just yesterday and others a lifetime I’m so grateful to have created a platform where I could share my ideas and thoughts with all of you. Honestly, I never could have imagined that Sincerely Shanti would grow into what it is today and the brands I’ve partnered with thus far. Thank you, everyone, for…
Uptown? Downtown? Local vs. Express? All phrases one may be unfamiliar with not being originally from or residing in NYC. While there are many forms of transportation to get around the subway is like the veins of the city. Since moving here I would say the MTA is mostly reliable. However, if you were to ask the 5.6+ million people who ride the trains daily I’m sure they would agree that each trip is like a never-ending guessing game of making…
It’s officially been two months since I moved into my cute little NYC apartment and honestly, sometimes I still can’t believe it! So to celebrate I’m sharing how I snagged my studio and what it looks like. Finding my NYC Apartment Apartment shopping in New York is like a full-time job on its own. Luckily, I had a bit of time on my hands but the process was still long and tedious. There are numerous resources out there to help…
At the close of every year you always hear the infamous “New Year, New Me”; however for the majority of us it often pans out to a continuous cycle of trying again next year. Don’t get me wrong I’m sure you’ve come up with an awesome game plan, have either completed some DIY Pinterest project, or purchased a number of items to help attain your goal (Trust me I’ve been right there with you!) but for some reason none of it seems to keep you on track. An industry friend posted the below on his social media pages last year…
There’s nothing I love more than celebrating the holidays with family & friends. Although with moving I missed out on the Friendsgiving fun. I’m excited for the rest of the holiday season especially since I can host everyone in my new space! The key to any perfect gathering is good vibes and tasty cocktails. So when the team from Absolut Elyx sent me their Deluxe Barware Set (the perfect housewarming gift might I add!), I couldn’t wait to grab a…
Long time no see! It’s been a crazy few weeks since my last post but I’ve finally accomplished my goal of moving to New York. Honestly, even though I’ve been here for a little over half a month it still feels so surreal. If you follow me on Instagram/Facebook you know getting here involved many flights back & forth for various interviews and then packing up everything in a week once landing the role I’m in now. Why the move?…
“If a window of opportunity appears, don’t pull down the shade.” – Tom Peters A few weeks ago, the company I was with dissolved and I was laid off for the first time ever in my career. While devastating & stress-inducing for most I felt like this was the perfect opportunity to achieve my next goal. I know you’re probably sitting here like what do you mean? You’ve literally lost your major source of income and possibly a part of your mind!…
Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Pet Magasin but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. Ever since Mobil was a kitten, I’ve always been an advocate of breaking down cat stereotypes. Two of those being “you can’t walk or travel with a cat” so naturally when heading to the pet store or enjoying some outside time Mobil was always harnessed up and ready to go. As he grew older and longer (30 in. from head to tail)…
Being in South Florida where it’s practically summer all year long staying hydrated is key. Yet drinking enough water is something I struggle with daily. So to help increase my daily intake and cut some sugar from my diet I’ve swapped soda for sparkling water. To avoid drink monotony I’ve partnered with Perrier to try their flavored line which includes Lime, Pink Grapefruit, Green Apple, Lemon, L’Orange, and new this summer Strawberry & Watermelon. I was definitely excited about the latest…
“You will always grow through, what you go through.” – Tyrese Gibson As humans, we only tend to share what’s good in our lives but become radio silent otherwise. We sweep all the bad phases, relationships, friendships, and losses under a rug as if nothing happened. Even though these very people/situations we attempt to sweep away actually make an impact (good or bad) in our present day life. Losing people whom you loved can either carry/release a lot of weight…
