Call me Alyssa! I am a dreamer (of course chasing 'em in the Big Apple) with a love for all things creative. 

Growing up in suburban Pennsylvania provoked an itch for city living. As soon as I was able to go out on my own, I sprinted towards Philadelphia for fashion college. Through some ups and a lot of downs, I finally stepped onto the front steps of my very own Queens apartment with three gals I met on Craigslist. The rest is history.

I am ALWAYS on the hunt for the best deals—clothes, vacations, food, beauty products, decor—the list goes on and on... Which is how this blog came about. From family to friends to coworkers to even acquaintances, everyone raves about my tips & tricks on how to lead a healthy, vibrant, fun-filled life without breaking the bank. After hearing "you should start a blog!" a few hundred times, well, I decided to start a blog.

Here you will find a lifestyle blog filled with inspiration for travel tips, attainable style, beauty advice, healthy recipes, and more - because you don't need to spend a ton of money to live your best life.

So here's my blog, and here I am, world. I can't wait to share my journey with you!
