The following podcast is a dear media production.

Okay, well, thank you for coming.

Thank you for having me.

I feel like I haven't seen you in back in years.

A million years. And I was actually thinking back on when we first met. I don't know if you remember. Where? I don't remember much of anything. Okay. So I had a blog called Taste the Style. No, I remember that. Yeah. And so we met that day, I think, because I had you as a, like, one of my guests is like my boss babe series. We shot at Pietro Nolita. Yes. Those photos are

some of my favorite photos of me ever. They were great. You looked fabulous. I think you were wearing

Ruff. You know what was, no, I was wearing LPA because the LPA just launched. Oh, okay, perfect.

You know what else was funny about that day? Do you remember that Mariana Hewitt was taking

photos outside too? No. I don't think I knew who that was until like many years later. This was like

how many years ago? No, longer. I want to say like 11 years ago. Maybe 10. Maybe 10. It was like

2016. That's when LPA was launching. Yeah. And I had met her like a revolve thing. And so I'd only met her like once or twice. And this is when she was like full blogger. And that wall, Pietro is that pink wall was like such a thing for a minute. And so we were both there like getting our content. It was like the pink wall of or like your pink wall, a late pink wall of New York.

And so all the bloggers were taking little pictures there. And they're still standing. I'm actually pretty impressed. I know him. Pietro. Yeah, he's badass. I think they just like, like, I think they just painted over the pink wall. Rebranded. Like, rebranded it and something else. But he's like a proper Italian man. I mean, it was a great little spot.

Oh, God, that was so funny.

That really was like a lifetime ago.

I know.

I know. I know. Okay, so since then, all has happened. Look at us now for bloggers to business women. Where did you grow up? I grew up in Queens. You grew up in Queens. Amazing. I grew up in Queens, but I moved to the city when I was still very young, like 17, and I would actually commute, did the reverse commute back to school for my senior year. Oh, my God, that's so funny. And I had a, I had a car and I would park it and I had to leave like at 7 a. I love driving in the city. Oh. I love driving in Toronto. It's the best. We rent cars when we go. Like if we're staying in the city,

I'll get a tour to go to like J.G. Mellon from downtown. Oh, I mean, I, we like live in our car, which is so funny because we've always been like little city dwellers, but like we can never get around any other way with a car. So my husband's always had a car. Well, that now, of course, but even before that, my husband, when, you know, when he had like a shitty little Jeep that was like super raggedy, like hanging on by threads, and that's what he drove around in the city when I was dating him. And then, you know, eventually we got nicer cars meet. We met at a nightclub. I feel like you would probably know what it was. The plum. So it's up and down. Like the latest one is like up and down. So it was like two clubs before that. It was like the Derby before then. Oh, I remember the Derby. Yeah. So plum, that's how long we've been dating. I love that. It's so strange. So, yeah, we dated when we were, like, I think he was 21. I was 22. Oh, my God. And he actually, it's funny, we were reflecting on this too. He was actually leaving for L.A. for, like, the entire summer the day after he met me. So he was like interning that summer because it's

like his junior year or whatever. And did he leave or he met you when he stayed? No, he ended up coming back. He was just here for the summer and ended up coming back. And then that's when we went on our first official date was when he got back from L.A. So I always feel like there's like this L.A. connection with the two of us. I don't know. There's something, there's something

here. We really love it as a city that like he and I like really like enjoy on our own. Yeah.

We haven't been here with the kids really. Like little things with the kids like don't remember any

of it when we've been with him. But yeah. That's so cute. Yeah. So you work as a waitress and at like,

you know, which I, the waitressing and bartending to me in New York City, in general, I've always skimed this on the rooftop, I think should be mandatory. Agreed. Agreed. Makes you less of an asshole. 100%. Well, it teaches you about people. It's a, it teaches you about everything.
