I wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew there would be wine, and I was supposed to bring a yoga mat, but that was pretty much the extent of the research I’d done. I’d seen an Instagram ad for an event at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden (which is pretty much my NYC happy place) called…

it’s not about the apples

Meet Happy
Simple Felicity is, at its heart, a blog based on the unshakeable belief that happiness really isn't all that complicated. It's often found in the simplest of things: good food, good books, and good company.
