This weekend was full of boring chores. Nothing very excited so here is glimpse into an outing a had in the city a couple of weeks ago instead. I was able to jet into the city for the launch party of Seriously Distracted a new web series from POPSUGAR that was being hosted by fruitwater. The show stars the seriously funny Amy Sedaris and is a scripted comedy that follows the daily on goings of a PR firm.
I must admit that as I was writing this post I took a little break to catch the first episode that had just aired and I was hooked! I work by myself so it was nice to steal a moment with the ladies from Le Grande PR. Make sure you tune in on Tuesdays for new episodes.
Now back to my recap of the event.
The launch party was being hosted at 1 Oak which is a beautiful nightclub in Chelsea.
I got to enjoy a nice leisurely train ride into the city and steal a moment for myself. After a day of squeezing in work with two little boys it was nice to have a little “me” time.
The chic vibe of the venue started from the entrance. Normally I’m not a huge fan of neon signs, but this one just felt so appropriate and set the mood for a fun night.
Every fabulous event needs a step and repeat so we made sure to take a photo.
{The best part of this invite was getting to bring guests with me. Who doesn’t love a night out with their sisters!}
A signature drink also needed to be acquired. We all got a different one to do a little tasting at our table.
We got to drink our drinks, people watch, enjoy some yummy appetizers and take in the unique decor of the venue.
My favorite part of the decor had to be the wall of letters. It was filled with actual wooden letter cutouts that were layered throughout the entire wall. So cool! Plus the chevron floor done with two different stains of wood was pretty easy on the eyes as well. You can see more photos of the space here.
Since I was already out and in Manhattan I decided that a quick bite to eat was in order especially when I saw Artichoke Pizza was on the corner. If you live in the city or will be visiting anytime soon you must make sure to stop at one of their locations and have a slice or two. They have an artichoke pizza that makes me salivate by just thinking about it. We needed to try some other slices as well that night so we got a sampler and tried meatball pizza and vodka pizza as well. All 3 were our favorites!
Halfway through our meal I got the sweetest photo of my little men and immediately my pizza seemed a little less important and I just wanted to get on the next train to steal a moment with them before they headed to bed.
It’s always nice to get away for a little and be just Camila, but I must admit it’s even better to head back to reality and be the mommy, wife, sister, daughter, business owner, blogger, etc, etc, etc.
I know we are all busy and it’s important to remember to take a pause and steal a moment for ourselves. I love that it’s fruitwater’s new campaign, because whenever I see one of their bottles in my fridge I’m reminded to think of myself for a moment.

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
