Seven festive looks I actually wore—from casual house parties to full holiday glam. It’s my favorite time of the year—holiday shopping, festive parties, and plenty of chances to be merry (ideally with a cup of cheer in hand). As an extrovert, I thrive during this season—especially when it involves red heels and big fur. I’m no Coco Chanel, but I can  put together a killer holiday look. So instead of a full wardrobe guide, here are seven outfits I actually wore this Christmas

Mood: Buzz-cut, but make it emotional! I promised a piece reflecting on my relationship with alcohol after my recent lifestyle changes, so buckle up! We all know I love to party. I love a night out; I enjoy a vodka soda and a glass of wine on the weekends. I love to laugh, spend my time with friends, and get wild. (And no, I don't apologize for that OR a grey goose martini) But as I get older, I’m starting to explore this relationship with alcohol on a deeper level. I have a

Self-care has become a buzz word on social media the past few years. This has created an ideal platform for therapists because people love to talk about it now, emphasizing taking care of yourself. It has become a mainstream phenomenon on TikTok, Instagram, and other socials which in turn has helped to mold society, workplaces, and relationships to become healthier. Self-care is a holistic healing approach, that encompasses the practice of proactively taking care of yourself

Welcome to my closet dear followers! Does it smell like mothballs in here? Boy, I hope not. I’m going back to my roots for this post, as I used to create fashion articles when I wrote for Her Campus at Siena. But, wowie has my style changed since then. I have always lived my life dressing to the nines and showing off. Why not? I look good so let’s flaunt it people! I spent college dressing in fishnets and skirts to strut around campus and wreak havoc. Now, my style includes l

Hello friends and lovers! I hope everyone had a lovely holiday season and a good start to 2025. I feel like everyone is sick and down for the count, so I figured I’d share a little Charty sparkle. As we all know, I live the rockstar lifestyle, especially in the winter with skiing, parties, and being me. It’s not easy! I know most people start the year wanting a new routine and a new start, so I figured I’d share the few pieces in my wellness routine that I do religiously. And

When I first moved to Boston in 2019, I was so lonely. Like brutally lonely. I didn’t know anyone or anything about Boston, and I had just moved here for my master’s program. I was struggling. I called my dad one of the first weeks I moved here, and he suggested I go to a SoulCycle class to get out of my own head. I had been once in 2017 in New York City with friends and loved it. Well, lo and behold, I took his advice and ended up at my second ever class in Chestnut Hill, ta

This morning, I hit 300 classes  at Barry’s Bootcamp. I am so proud of myself and grateful for the gifts my journey at Barry’s has given me. If you do any sort of fitness class, you know how exciting the milestones are! Barry’s is a 50-minute HIIT style class that combines strength and cardio exercises. These classes take place in their studio called the Red Room, which consist of red mood lighting and loud music. Classes usually consists of 12–15-minute running and floor rou

Many moons ago when I was new to the fitness world, I never wanted to hear the dreaded R word. Recovery. Recovery felt like this negative...

Four days before I started my new job, I fell down the stairs and my ankle snapped in half (not really but let me be dramatic). This meant I needed to brainstorm different exercise modalities, due to not being able to run or spin for a month or so. I ended up doing a trial period at a yoga studio in Brookline, and naturally the only classes offered at 6am were hot yoga. I figured I’d be fine with it and went to try it, despite disliking yoga. I brought my $12 Target mat and w

Let’s talk fitness. Moreso self-discipline and routine. There’s nothing Charty loves more than a morning routine (except maybe a cowboy...
