Wish I was here rn, sipping through a bottomless brunch with my besties. Instead, the gale winds have forced me to power thru Marie Kondo’s @netflix series 🛋. // 📷: via Pinterest .

I feel like I’ve been working nonstop from 9 AM till about right now. But my bank account is having a really hard time reflecting the amount of hours I’ve been working 🤔. Either way I’m #Grateful.

This month has been brutal, not to mention getting re-adjusted to laptop life + typing on a tiny iPhone keyboard is not making my arthritis feel any better. So I just want to take a moment to thank whoever created the diction tool on phones because you are the real MVP 🥇. // 📷: @kieraewood #nycstyle #newyorkstories #uoonyou — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2SUEnkN
No limits. Thanks Mom! But seriously, thank you mom 👩👧. AND @thecut for letting me a part of the #Fashion4Word series!! 😭 Head to their page to read more and give it a like 💕. // 📷: @lydiahudgensphoto #awestruck #happytears — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2ss55FT
Week 1 down. There’s honestly nothing worse than doing speed workouts in the freezing cold 🥶. Wait, I take that back. The water-damaged laptop saga is actually the worse 🙄.

A few notes: I am absolutely obsessed with @barre3 & can’t believe it took an Instagram ad for me to discover it. Whoever is on their marketing team did a hell of job! • Sleep has been consistently uninterrupted 🙌🏼. • I’m getting worried about my shins (& am uninsured 😬) so I bought a foam roller + compression socks for added support, deeper stretches, & tendinitis prevention. Lastly, I need recommendations on protein bars that aren’t loaded with fillers/sugar & taste yummy 👀.

Question, is there a way to quickly grow my hair this long again… And overnight? 🥺 #VintageLeeny // 📷: @lydiahudgensphoto #curlyhairdreams #longhairdreams #hairoftheday — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2QJcXg6
Not all heroes wear capes 🙏🏼☕️🙏🏼.

Training for my 3rd half marathon kicks off today! As does my 30 day @barre3 challenge 😬. It’s also been a week off the 🍻 (personal preference when it comes to endurance training). I’ll share my fitness schedule weekly on my Stories - first one is live already! What’s your fit plan for the week? Leave me a comment down below 👇🏼. // 📷: @lydiahudgensphoto #aileenrunsnyc #fitlife #barre3challenge — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2GYuKjD
NYC: 10 Things to Do This Fall
It’s time to whip out the PSL, over-the-knee boots, and all of the sweaters. Fall has arrived in NYC - even if the weather slightly disagrees from time-to-time. Below, is a round up of my favorite autumnal things to do in New York that won’t all revolve around Halloween. Check it out! And if there’s anything I’ve left out let me know in the comments.
1. Walk the Brooklyn Bridge
In my honest opinion, there’s no better way to take in the skyline. Beat the crowds with a cup of Joe in tow and get there early, like 10 am early. You’ll thank me later.
2. Take a Day Trip to the Apple Orchards
Grab your friends for the drive up, or take the MetroNorth or a bus service, and get ready to pick a bushel of apples from Apple Dave’s Orchards. There’s a tasting room full of their yummy cider, tons of outdoor space for picnickers, and family friendly.
3. Head to Central Park
The fall foliage is breathtaking - bring your camera. Once you got the shot take a tour of the lake on a row boat.
4. Eat Everything Pumpkin!
I absolutely mean this. Head to the farmer’s market each weekend, buy all things pumpkin, and eat to your little heart’s content. There’s a few farm-to-table restaurants in NYC that include pumpkin in their seasonal menus. Go there and eat that too.
5. Get Yourself a Pumpkin at the Queens County Farm
It’s kid-friendly, has a corn maze, and is reasonably close to the city. I would check their calendar for events too!
6. Take Yourself out to a Ball Game
Do yourself a favor and see The Mets play. Not The Yankees… The Mets. The crowd is friendlier and the air is filled with magic.
7. Celebrate Oktoberfest
There are so many German beer houses in NYC it would be totally unacceptable to not spend one Saturday day drinking in them during Oktoberfest. Remember, have your favorite ale in your left hand and bratwurst in your right. Prost!
8. Cheer on the NYC Marathon Runners!!
Maybe I’m bias, but it’s so inspiring to watch runners of all shapes and sizes chase their dreams to the finish line. This marathon touches all five boroughs so why not make a day out of it. Gather friends, create some funny, wacky signs, and cheer them on!
9. Treat Yourself
No seriously. It’s Spa Week in NYC and most luxuriating services average around $50 which is a steal! (However you should tip on the original price and not the deal price.)
10. Feast of San Gennaro
This is definitely my favorite fall festival in NYC for one reason alone - cannolis. Well, there’s also live music, amazing fresh pasta from the local restaurants, and the class festival rides.
