A few years ago, I started building up my investment portfolio. I started paying more attention to business news and the stock market – probably a little later than I should have. My dad is in finance, but unlike my mom, who TRIED to get me interested in IT (didn’t work – if one can […]
I just finished Primates of Park Avenue, a “memoir” by Wednesday Martin, published a couple of years ago. Written in a satirical manner, the book criticizes the lives of Upper East Side women, particularly mothers, from a “transplant” perspective – as in someone who is not really “from” there, but instead, moved in after her […]
Let’s face it. You can’t live with it, nor can you live without it. Many, many of us are addicted to it. At the same time, however, it’s causing A LOT of stress. With everything going on in the world, one’s news feed is pretty much inundated with other people’s opinions, often saying how they’re […]
In fact, I have no plans to watch anything they’re streaming. I just don’t seem to care anymore. It’s not that I don’t like clothing or because I feel like the styles don’t apply to me, it’s just that it’s not something I’m not interested in writing much about anymore. I feel like my posts […]
Everyone, important or not, seems to be writing or talking about their own immigrant experience or that of their family members. That they came to escape persecution. So here’s my piece. Most of you know I’m a first generation Canadian born Canadian (or if you want to be ethnically accurate, Canadian born Chinese). My parents […]
It’s true that the new administration south of the border could very well turn back the clock a few centuries (okay, maybe not that extreme, but you get my drift), but why aren’t people worried about the economy and how this administration could impact financials, as a whole, globally? With his cabinet, you never know […]
…and I’m not the first to write about this. Yes, ladies, we’re mean. We hate each other and we’re often WORSE to one another than men are to us. Most of us grew up hating our mothers criticizing us for what we did, yet as adults, we do the same to one another – especially […]
Who is excited for Winterlicious? The twice-annual ____licious (winter and summer) commences on January 26 and will continue for two weeks. Many of the regulars are back, including La Societé, Boulud and Oliver & Bonnocini Bayview Village (I always wonder why it’s THAT location rather than, say, Front Street. Shouldn’t there be some sort of […]
I don’t profess to having a daily “uniform” a la Carolina Herrera or Mark Zuckerberg – as in I don’t wear the exact same thing daily. However, I have a go-to “look” which changes depending on the season. When it’s cooler out (say, October to late April or so), I like my long sweaters or […]
DelectablyChic! will be more personal this year. Things have been changing for me – focusing more on philanthropy advice than attending events, for example, has made writing more than once or twice a week more difficult – especially when it comes to researching areas in beauty, fashion and food. F0r 2017, I’m going to focus […]
