From L to R – Georgina, Jen, this blogger, Aisha, Berry and the photo was taken by Kelly. Yesterday morning, brunch was devoured at Freemans. A great little spot in the Lower East Side that was located right at the end of Freeman Alley. The Alley itself took me right back to Melbourne. It was…

Friday was a day to get out – most definitely. I wanted to get away from job applications and just see something different. So Kat and I planned a day trip to visit Princeton. She is also somewhat of a campus groupie and loves the bookstores just as much as I. We decided to make…
