So I hired my family to take photos for the site BUT we couldn’t afford real reflectors so TJ Maxx umbrellas had to do. How chic! I’m a Maxxinista y’all. Jay kay! My family came into town and I couldn’t be happier- I’m having a blast playing tourist and hanging out with my brother, catching up and laughing a ton. Hence the millions of photos of me literally having a laughing fest in this post. I couldn’t help it- being around them makes me smile much more than around anyone else.

We toured Central Park and got lost which was one of my favorite parts. We then headed up to the UWS to one of my favorite restaurants, Flor de Mayo. Honestly, one of the best places to get one of my favorite dishes, Lomo Saltado. I mean, it can’t get any better than french fries sopped in a vinegar-y sauce with bistec and rice with tomatoes and red onion. Oh, get in my belly.

This is too too good. My dad says, “What? Are you scratching your balls?” YUP, I am dad. Thanks.

    Umbrellas as reflectors?! Brilliant! Also I forget how privileged I am that I have family close by. It must be great to see them!
