It’s a love hate relationship with leg day.

My legs have always been the part of my body I’m most insecure about. You’ll rarely catch me wearing a pair of shorts or a dress that isn’t floor length. I’m determined for that to change by spring. So while leg day feels like absolute torture, when I walk out feeling like jello I know it’s worth it for the reward that will come 6-8 months from now. Maybe sooner. I really don’t know 🤣

Thank you as always to Gianna Stone and the entire Best Fitness team for keeping me motivated and on track!

Apple picking season is officially here and if there’s one thing the 518 does well, it’s a fall day spent at the orchard!

Whether you’re going for the apples, cider donuts, cider, pumpkins, farm stands… or just the excuse to wear a cute fall outfit 😂I put together a list of apple orchards around the Capital Region to add to your fall bucket list!

📌 SAVE this post for the next time you’re looking for something to do this fall and send it to the person you want to go apple picking with!

🍏 Did I miss your favorite orchard? Drop it in the comments!

Another month, another lineup of bites I’m still thinking about. From soup dumplings and pizza to lobster, steak, salad and one VERY memorable dessert, August did not disappoint.

My Best Bites of August 🍽️✨

🥐 Le Crookie — Bistro & Wine Bar at Mirbeau Inn & Spa Beacon
🍕 Pepperoni/Sausage & Pepper Pizza — Ralphs Tavern

🦞 Lobster Louis — Lake George Waterfront Marina & Lighthouse

A huge thank you to Jamie Mazuryk | Capital Region NY Broker at Venture Fox Realty Group for sponsoring this month’s Best Bites! 🏡💕

I was SO excited to head back to Art Park Homes in Chatham, and somehow I loved it even more the second time around.

This time, I stayed at Camp Jack, and I can confidently say it is by far the coolest tiny house I’ve ever stayed in. Every little detail makes this place feel so unique, cozy and completely unlike your typical weekend getaway.

One of my favorite parts? You can walk right into Chatham’s Main Street to explore the shops, grab a bite or get a coffee, then head back to your own little retreat to relax and unwind.

If you’re looking for a unique Upstate NY stay that feels like an escape without being far from everything, add Art Park Homes to your list.🌲✨

This is your sign to stop sleeping on gas station food 👀⛽️

I finally checked out ONE DREAM LATHAM and I’m here to tell you: this is SO much more than your average gas station.

My friend Dom C Reviews has been telling me how good the food is, and I’m not gonna lie… I was skeptical 😂 But I am more than happy to report that I was DEAD WRONG. Dom was onto something.

I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala Panini and it was absolutely delicious. Like… I’m still thinking about it and already want to go back for another one.

But possibly the best part? They’re open 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK. 🙌 Their full menu is available around the clock, AND you can order delivery through DoorDash, Grubhub and Uber Eats 24/7. Late-night food options are getting harder and harder to find around the Capital Region, so this is a GAME CHANGER.

📍 One Dream | Latham, NY

Definitely add this one to your list — and if you’ve already been, tell me what I need to order next! 👇

We are back for another Restaurants and Real Estate with Jamie Mazuryk | Capital Region NY Broker 🤍

This month we checked out Hu's House Shanghai Restaurant in Albany where we both tried soup dumplings for the first time!

Ofcourse we also chatted all things real estate! What questions do you have for Jamie? Drop them below and let us know what other restaurants we should visit 🥰

Last minute trip to Costco Albany is always a good idea… right?

Papa Sauce and I had so much fun. I found the cutest Gap sweater, a jacket from Fabletics I’ve had my eye on for over a year now and also spotted my favorite on the go coffee Wandering Bear 😍

Needless to say it was a successful trip and I’ll be back for more when I have time to walk up and down every single aisle without *someone* rushing me 🤣

What do I need to check out next time I’m at Costco? I want ALL the recommendations!

I went over to Lia Hyundai of Albany to test drive the 2026 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy and I genuinely could not believe how many cool features they packed into this car!

Huge shoutout to Paolo for taking me for a spin and showing me everything it can do…including the fact that IT CAN LITERALLY PARK ITSELF?! 🤯

This thing is basically made for road trips and families. SO much space, 3 rows with seating for 7, power seats that make it ridiculously easy to open up more cargo room, tons of USB-C charging ports throughout all three rows, AND relaxation seats. Yes… the driver’s seat is an actual massage seat. 😂

It also has a 360° Surround View Monitor, wireless Apple CarPlay, a wireless phone charger, heated AND ventilated seats, and so many other features I couldn’t possibly fit into one video.

Safe to say I was VERY impressed. 😂👏

If you’re in the market for a new SUV, go see the team at Lia Hyundai and tell him Saucy sent you! 🚙✨

🌎🍭 Snack around the world without leaving Crossgates Mall?! Say less.

I had SO much fun checking out the brand new Snack World and trying exotic snacks, candy + drinks from all over the world! I went in thinking I’d just browse and obviously left with a bag full 😂

But the WILDEST thing?! The lollipop that literally PLAYS MUSIC IN YOUR HEAD when you put it in your mouth 🤯🎶 I genuinely could not believe what I was experiencing lol.

Such a fun spot if you love trying new things, finding snacks you can’t normally get around here, or just want to switch up your usual mall run!

I haven’t been to the Altamont Fair in YEARS… and I completely forgot how much fun it is!

We spent the day walking around, petting goats, meeting the horses, checking out all the activities and, of course, EATING our way through the fair 😂

🎡 Rode the Ferris wheel which was fun once I got over the fact that I was holding on for dear life because heights are NOT my thing
🐟 Stopped to see my friend Jon TED’S FISH FRY + Bar🍻 where he very kindly shared some Natalie Tomas cookies
🍓 Tried tanghulu for the first time
🍎 Had an apple cider slushie from Altamont Orchards
🍪 Ended the day with fried oreos from Simply Gluten Free

And fun fact: there’s a food stand at the fair that’s 100% gluten-free, so the fried Oreos were GF and still just as delicious!

Safe to say I won’t be waiting years to go back again! 😂 The Altamont Fair is going on through this Sunday, so go get your fair food fix and check it out while it’s here! 🎠✨
