I’m not sure about you guys, but I always order the same things at restaurants and never order anything new.

Weekly Workouts 8/5 – 8/12
Happy Monday! Now that busy season at work is in full effect I’m making it a goal to keep my workouts a priority. Working out keeps me happy and sane, and I can’t sacrifice my health and wellness for work. On that note, I have decreased my workouts from 6 to 5. Tax season is…
Lyssy’s Eats: Asuka Sushi
Jon and I went out to sushi for my 25th birthday dinner, and it did not disappoint! We went to Asuka Sushi in Chelsea and it was delicious! It was also reasonably priced (similar to what we would pay in Michigan) and had a large selection. We started off with some drinks (we were also…

NYC 2 Month Update
I can’t believe I’ve already been living in NYC for two months, time flies when you’re in the city that never sleeps!! I must admit, I wasn’t sure how much I’d like city life, but I’ve adjusted quicker than I thought. However, ask me again in the winter and I might say otherwise… Fair warning: this post…
