Welcome, 2025

As we step into 2025, I’m reflecting on what a truly magical holiday season it has been, filled with unforgettable moments, cherished friends, and family. This year, we went all out and treated ourselves to some incredible experiences that made the season shine brighter than ever.

Our adventure began in New York City, a place that always feels electric during the holidays, with our best friends visiting from Vegas,. We checked off so many iconic stops—starting with the breathtaking Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, which is even more dazzling in person than it is in photos. We couldn’t resist wandering through FAO Schwarz, where the magic of childhood dreams is alive and well, and indulged in some fabulous holiday shopping along 5th Avenue (because, how can you not?).

The highlight of our NYC experience was definitely catching a performance of Cabaret on Broadway. The talent, the energy, the atmosphere—it was everything you could hope for in a night at the theater. Of course, we rounded out the trip with some of the best food the city has to offer, including the most amazing soup dumplings at Joe’s Soup Dumplings. If you haven’t tried them yet, put it on your list for your next trip to the Big Apple!

We stayed at the Romer Hell’s Kitchen, which was the perfect home base. Its cozy yet chic vibe was a haven to return to after bustling days of sightseeing and exploring the city. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone planning an NYC getaway!

From NYC, we took things to the next level of luxury and headed north to Toronto to ring in the New Year in style. We pampered ourselves with a few nights at the stunning Four Seasons Toronto, where relaxation and indulgence are at the heart of everything. We kicked off our Toronto adventures with drinks and bites at the glamorous Louix Louis, followed by an incredible New Year’s Eve dinner at Pink Sky, where the food was just as vibrant and celebratory as the evening itself.

The best part of Toronto, though, was the quiet, quality time I got to share with my husband. We rang in the New Year with a bottle of champagne, a toast to the year behind us, and excitement for all that lies ahead. Sometimes, the simplest moments end up being the most special.

As I sit here, still basking in the glow of the holidays, I’m beyond excited to share some big news with all of you—my next book, a YA LGBTQ+ romance titled Candy Gram, will be available on Amazon starting Friday, January 10th! This story is so close to my heart, and I can’t wait for you to meet the characters and dive into their world. It’s a tale about love, friendship, and discovering who you are, and I hope it resonates with readers everywhere.

Here’s to 2025—a year full of love, growth, and endless possibilities. Thank you all for your continued support, and I hope your year is off to a magical start!

With love and gratitude,

Corey
