Dear Readers, I am oh-so very tired. I’m working like four jobs, which is all cool and fun and enjoyable, but that also results in a sleepy Tess! I’m writing this like two hours before it’s being published because I had no time over the weekend (READ: I didn’t make time over the weekend). I have a cough and I woke up in the middle of the night coughing and couldn’t fall back asleep for an hour. And today, I am going to work (at a magazine !!!) and then going to fulfill my duty as an educator at lululemon. I will leave my apartment at 8:45 AM and won’t return until 10:15 PM. A long, long day that I am entirely not prepared for sleepwise.

Buy me a coffee :)

But alas! Here is my worthy distraction. I’m too tired to give you more.

New Yorkers love their parks

We’ve had a long, cold winter here in New York. I love winter and it’s coziness, but I am ready for warmth, to leave my apartment without a jacket. On Saturday, we got our first taste of the deliciousness that is spring in the city. It was in the high 70s and sunny and every single New Yorker I know headed to a park. I chose Fort Greene because my friend

Kendall Coffee
told me she and her roommate Lily were on their way there. With me, I brought a trifecta of liquids - my Owala water bottle, a kombucha, and a tall boy - my foldable picnic blanket, and sunglasses.
