Mar 6 Posted by nancyjrab Leave a Comment

What it was like to be a Bad Ass B*tch at the Metropolitan Museum with Museum Hack.

Confessions of a Swag Hound: BirchBox, Chaise Fitness and More

May 14 Posted by nancyjrab Leave a Comment

Being a blogger has introduced me to so much.  I’ve made good friends, used my social media influence to help raise money for charities like K.I.D.S, R Baby, The Lamp, Mothers2Mothers, and Women in Need.

Aug 6 Posted by nancyjrab 1 Comment

Yesterday, walking in Riverside Park in NYC, I saw a Red-Tailed Hawk swoop down, grab a squirrel,  slam it on the ground a few times until it was dead, and eat it.

A few weeks back, my fridge died.  It was old. It was battered.  It was time. My oven, too, had been acting up.
