Pet Hair-Resistant Clothing and Fabrics
Enjoy unlimited furry cuddles with my top pet-friendly picks for fabrics, clothing, and home – No lint roller required! I’m sharing some of the best fabrics and specific clothing and home items I’ve found that have been either completely pet-hair resistant or extremely low-maintenance. Translation: no lint roller required. And everything is washable! Watch my complete review: All of the items mentioned are from Amazon ~ this is not sponsored ~ these are just items that have worked well for me and that I’d recommend to other pet lovers! While this post only includes items from the women’s clothing section, if you’d like a follow-up with items for men or…

Tiny clips from our COVID-modified wedding ????
Sharing snippets from our incredibly special day ❤️ . And from our trip getting there (our flights ended up getting changed due to a delay, but that meant that we got to have delicious popcorn at Nuts on Clark in Chicago ? [Cheesecorn and Caramelcorn with Cashews!]):

Can’t Help Falling in Love
Today’s #WeeklyWednesday is a very special and personal one; I originally made it as our wedding Save the Date announcement ? Unfortunately, like so many other things, our plans for a larger celebration are postponed due to COVID-19 precautions – but I thought I’d still share this video, as it means a lot to me! Since our engagement anniversary was yesterday, the timing seems perfect ? “Can’t Help Falling in Love” was made famous by Elvis Presley; it was written by Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore, and George David Weiss (according to Wikipedia, the melody is based on “Plaisir d’amour,” a 1784 composition by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini). Thanks to AcoustiClub for this…

Disneyland Christmas 2019
Happy #WeeklyWednesday! Sharing some more scenes from a very quick trip we had to Disneyland in mid-November, plus some of my music ? The Happiest Place on Earth was looking particularly magical this year! The decorations, music, special events, and seasonal foods were wonderful! I hope you’ll have the chance to go soon, but if not, I hope this video captures a sense of it and makes you smile! If you like this video, check out: On my end — my next phase officially begins today, with my first class at Georgetown (Linguistics)… In the words of Little Red, I’m feeling “excited and scared” ? Thank you, as always, for watching! I…

Updates/Christmas playlist ?
Squeezing in a quick #WeeklyWednesday update! It’s my final days completing my Master’s degree at NYU ??which is pretty exciting, but it means that I haven’t been able to work on any new Christmas music this year [and I love making and listening to Christmas music!]. If you’re looking for some festive music, I’d love to invite you to check out the music and other videos on my Christmas playlist below: I have a number of older arrangements, some live performances, and a couple videos of other types there, and I hope you enjoy them! I hope you’re enjoying the season and getting a chance to spend time with loved…

A Trip to Disney’s California Adventure!
An unrelated-to-this-video note: I had my NYU Master’s recital last night and I’m so pleased with and grateful for how it went! I feel like I was able to demonstrate some of the best of my abilities and training, and it was such a privilege and pleasure to perform with my phenomenal accompanist and the other incredible artists and friends who comprised my My Fair Lady cast ??? Thank you very much to those of you who came or watched online last night!! In the coming weeks, I will be editing our video footage to share here ☺️ For this video: This isn’t exactly a vlog, but I thought I’d…

New York City views
Back in the city! Our original flight a few days ago was canceled, but we made it home smoothly yesterday – and had gorgeous views of Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty, and surrounding areas coming in! Thought I’d share that with you for today’s #WeeklyWednesday ? In case you’re hoping for a similar view when you fly in, these seats were on the port side of the plane (A, B, C), going into Newark Liberty (EWR). The music I used is a short piece I created a couple years ago by combining sounds I found interesting – mainly loops from Logic Pro. I call it “Tangerine” (for no particular reason),…
