I was never a huge fan of reading when I was a kid. Neither my parent weren’t reading nor my older brother or sister back then. This was all about the equation of cultural and economical result. But at the same time, I was suffering from difficulty of reading. Apparently, “One estimate is that about 10 million children have difficulties learning to read.“*. I don’t think I have…

Alley Girl is evolving more than ever. I’ve started alleygirl.com 6 years ago but I actually count 2015 as the beginning, as I get my very first press recognition by Elle USA, I also happened to get attention from influencer agencies. That makes me more serious about my hobby. I’ve started this blog as my resume to apply for fashion jobs. The technology is my world since I…
Yurtdışında yaşamak isteyenler malumumuz her geçen gün artıyor. Hal böyle olunca sizinle yurtdışındaki yaşam hikayemi paylaşmaya karar verdim. Bazılarınızın halı hazırda bildiği üzere ben Amerika’ya aşk uğruna geldim. Evet aklımda tekrardan yurtdışında yaşamak (kısa süreliğine de olsa öğrencilik yıllarımda Avrupa’da yaşamıştım. Başka bir ülkede yaşamak fikri aklınızdan hiç çıkmıyor yeterki bir kez bile olsun tadına varın.) gibi henüz olgunlaşmamış fikirler vardı, ama ciddi hiçbir adım atmamıştım açıkçası. Fatih’le…
OK, I am not lying, visiting Wizarding World of Harry Potter first time and I cried, literally. I was so excited to see Diagon Alley for real. How can I not cry? As you’re gonna see in my video, I’ve read the books for the first time when I was 15 years old. And before reading it I was making fun of all my friends. Because I was…
Sitting here with my newborn napping on my chest not only gives me comfort but time to rest and reflect. Two weeks ago, I welcomed my daughter into the world. It was the most intense, powerful experience of my life. Though I didn’t have a medication-free birth as I wanted, I feel no shame, only empowerment. I still accomplished something wonderful as all mothers have – bringing life…
Austin Texas was at the top of our list after decide to check other cities and states. We’ve hard so many good things about this city. Especially after years of living in Brooklyn. So let’s talk about the question Can New Yorkers live in Austin? Of course, why not? But if you really feel like you’re done with city life. Apparently, I am not done with city life.…
I just asked this question to my husband. What the idea of being a Manhattan Girl? Who is Your Manhattan Girl? Is She Carrie Bradshaw or Mrs Maisel? Or me? lol The question came up to us when we are talking to a couple of friends about how is the feeling of leaving New York after 8 years. We were comparing Miami vs New York. And I remembered…
First of all It’s not that easy to answer this question yet. Since I live in New York for 7 years and just stayed in Miami for two months. But still I have some sense to talk about Pros and Cons living in Miami vs New York. First of all, there is no place like New York. If New York has the advantage of the weather I don’t…
I find that when you begin your day with a clear, relaxed mind the rest of what you encounter throughout the day seems to flow rather than clash with your personal atmosphere (i.e. your mood). And who doesn’t like having a smooth, conflict-free day? Why don’t you have a look at 3 Easy Meditations To Add To Your Morning Routine by Chaylin- by me. 🙂 It’s a very…
This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of Club Pilates. As you know my slow cross country vacation started with Miami. I wasn’t very sure about leaving New York for so long. But Miami was surprisingly good. I found this new neighbourhood called Wynwood and It’s very familiar home like feeling to me. It’s very similar to Williamsburg – my home for the last 4 years. But…
