Volcano Roll from Genki Ya
Something you might not know about this SavvyBostonian? When I first moved into the Boston area, I called Coolidge Corner, Brookline, home for four years. During this time, I got to know the neighborhood very well, including its numerous sushi spots. Of the many delicious sushi options, Genki Ya, stands out. Situated a handful of blocks away from the hustle and bustle of Coolidge Corner on Harvard Ave., Genki Ya is a tiny gem boasting great sushi.
It’s well-documented on this blog that I read…obsessively. From news sites, to books, magazines, a vast array of blogs, social media, public relations and marketing e-newsletters, my inbox is always jam-packed. And, it’s all my fault. But, before you call the producers of hoarders (the e-mail inbox edition), let me share a few unique articles that you may have missed over the past two months. From an interview with the founder of the BabyCakes bakery, to tips on how you can take a month off from work, and qualities essential in a community manager, I hope you will find these articles just as interesting an inspiring as I did.

The President’s Day weekend sales were good to me. I took a chance and braved the crowds at the Wrentham Premium Village Outlets, and it paid off. From classic LBDs, to a $14 skirt, my favorite go-to cardigan’s from J.Crew and a few shiny baubles, I was happy with my haul.
It’s funny, because when I got home, I laughed a little at myself for bringing home three black LBDs. However, the older I grow, the more I gravitate toward simple, yet chic pieces that fit exceptionally well.

So, guess three LBDs, providing that my next bargains are a little more colorful, isn’t all that crazy….What do you think?
Fountain Outside the Hilton St. Petersburg Carillon Park
In January, after checking in at airports three weeks in a row, Foursquare told me I was “pretty fly.” I couldn’t help but agree! As an avid traveler, I cherish any opportunity to go out on the road for work or for play. Here are a few highlights from my month bouncing between New York City, St. Petersburg, Florida and Washington, D.C.
