“The effect of wine and spirits on my running pace, agility, and overall well-being.”

🍷The wine: .official DIANA NEMORENSIS I 2020

I may be the bubbly one most of the time… but even I need a little pick-me-up sometimes. 🥂✨

Good friends, the local bar, and some actual bubbles in my glass? Turns out that’s a pretty good recipe for getting my sparkle back. 💛🍾
❤️❤️ What (who’s) yours?

Living in Rome means checking the weather forecast… and then completely ignoring it. 😂🇮🇹

Sunny one minute, raining the next — but honestly, I don’t even need to look up anymore.

How do I know it’s raining in Rome?
My curls tell me. 💁‍♀️☔️➰

The second they start getting extra bouncy, I know what’s happening. 😂

Just another day of Roman life: beautiful streets, unpredictable weather, and curls with their own weather radar. 🇮🇹✨

No time off? No problem! This is a working vacation 🌊☀️

My version of “switching off” is staring at the Aegean Sea while thinking about sentences, stories, ideas, characters, and that one line I should probably write down before I forget it.

At least the office is nice. 🇬🇷 Tell me in the comments how you balance vacation and creativity.

🦋 Paying tribute to the one and only Dolly Parton the best way I know how — by singing one of her songs. 🤠🎶💛

And apparently there is an upside to a delayed renovation… an empty room with GREAT acoustics! 😂🎤 Who needs a recording studio when you’ve got unfinished walls and a little Dolly? ✨

❤️Back in Italy, and of course the first order of business: espresso at the bar. ☕️🇮🇹

☕️There’s something about standing at the counter, hearing the cups clink, and taking that first sip that makes it official: I’m back!

❤️What’s the first thing you do when you land in Italy? Tell me below 👇

Going to Rome? Drink local. 🍷🇮🇹

Wine lovers, save this post for your next trip — I’m introducing you to local grapes, wines, local wine bars, and pairings to discover while you’re here.

Today: Rosato (rosé) di Aleatico at + smoked salmon tartare with fresh arugula.

Experiencing any new place, but especially Rome, is knowing what to drink where you are.

The only espresso in NYC I’ll (almost) happily overpay for. ☕️

Because if there’s one thing New York loves, it’s charging $5+ for a terrible espresso.
#🍎Sorry. Love ya big apple, but you are better at martinis.

When you’re used to the good stuff, you get picky.

But this place? I come back every time I’m in New York.

Worth the NYC price tag. 👀
