An open letter to all of my girlfriends (and other women) who are dating married men
Dear Mistresses,
This may seem a bit harsh. But you need harsh. And if you’re friends won’t tell you, who will. I am not judging you. In fact, I love you. I understand you. I was you. Well, not exactly you. […]

kwamby: I’m so impressed with your Thanksgiving picture.
ilyana: Really,lol. Why?
kwamby: Yep. Lani 1.0 would have never put that up. Lani 2.0 doesn’t give a ….. soooo feeling your confidence/swagger.

I had to think about this for a second. What Kwamby was trying to say (and he’s known me for years) was that I used to be […]

“This is my website. If you don’t want to hire me for this transparency, maybe I don’t want to work for you. If you don’t want to date me for this exposure, maybe I don’t want to date you. And if you can’t handle this, there are millions of other sites you should probably be […]

I despise the word bitch. More so, I despise when the word is applied to me. And it actually never had been, until recently. And I honestly feel like it’s only been applied to me because I’ve stood up for myself. Something that I had never been big on, though lately, when my back is against a wall, […]

When to let go. I think I stuggle with this question almost pathologically. I don’t like to let go. Of anything. I hate to feel as if I’ve given up. Or failed.  Especially with people. I’ve had so many relationships throughout my life, girl-friends and boys, who have dissapointed me, hurt me, betrayed me, even abused […]

While I was organizing one of my bookshelves I found my highschool year book. I thought, “Maybe I should google everyone I went to school with and see what they are doing!” There were only 40 kids in my graduating class, and I don’t know if any of us keep in touch:( Half the time I find out what they’re […]

kwamby: You guys need to stop talking backwards.
ilyana: Well, we think its talking forward.
kwamby: This is why I think women make better storytellers. But awful at giving directions.

 “What do I do? What do I do!!!!” My usually bubbly, now totally devastated and sobbing, recently dumped girl-friend asks me.
“I don’t know. I wish I had something really enlightening  to say.“ I reply.
“But….. you always have something amazing and comforting to say!”
“Well, I think I ran out of comforting/amazing a few weeks ago.What I’ve got left […]

Mandy: I’m really not sure how I got this fat.
Me: Me either. I was doing so well.
Mandy: What happened?
Me: Well, i don’t know. I think I prefer food over the treadmill. Like, I drive past the gym, to the bakery. And I know I should be going into the gym. But cupcakes just seem like […]

Everyone in my family jokes that my nephew is the younger, male incarnation of me. The boy has been dating since he was 7 years old. His first girlfriend: “The Rabbi’s daughter.” He’s been having relationship problems as long as I have. And he’s 11. He was catching me up on all of his “girl […]

I’m not sure why a pink bathroom makes me so happy. But I swear I […]
