When one moves, part of the transitioning process involves physically acclimatizing to what is (or isn’t) around you. As a soon-to-be New Yorker, I know I should be loathe to concede to anything the West might do better than the East… but I’m sorry, nothing beats the sunshine here. Nothing. With the beach literally at my doorstep, I have been hard-pressed to find reasons to go out and explore outside of OB. Although I’ve managed to bake my skin to a slight crisp (and this is not advised for regular skin, let alone freckled skin like mine), I know that I am making up for future lost time.
