A cookie dough bar has arrived in NYC and people are losing their dang minds!! And for good reason too. The idea is a dream for your tastebuds! Introducing , or rather re-introducing to many of you because they have blown the heck up! They may have only been open for a few weeks but their press coverage has been insaneee. The video below that's been making the rounds on Facebook has over 40 million views alone!

The word on the new spot has spread so far and wide that I was in for a sweet surprise on my birthday from Little Duck, all the way from Oregon! Girl is up on her game! So up on her game, she made it in for a local delivery order before they had to shut it down due to demand!

I was so surprised to have these little cuties delivered to my door! And if you think I was excited.. you should have seen Chris' face when I made him wait a few minutes to snap a few pics

Little Duck picked out two signature flavors, their Signature Chocolate Chip and Confetti and they did not disappoint! Truly just as delicious as you'd expect! And no need to have any warnings from your parents like when you were growing up about eating raw cookie dough 😉 DO uses pasteurized eggs and heat treated flour. If you pick up a cartoon and decide you're in the mood to bake some cookies half way through you can do that too!

Such a sweet and delicious surprise and I cannot wait to go to their shop. If you're in the New York area you can check them out in Greenwich Village and if you're not you can order online!

Farewell Colorful Studio
Anna Osgoodby Life + Design : Colorful NYC Studio Apartment Tour

Since life was a little cray when we moved and I didn't have time to do a proper goodbye post for my studio, I'm doing a little #ThrowbackThursday today!

Anna Osgoodby Life + Design : Colorful NYC Studio Apartment Tour

While everything turned out just fine (as it usually does) I was pretty sad to say farewell to my colorful little studio! It was my second solo apartment, and will definitely go down as one of my favorites! Bright colors, cute little balcony, subway tile, and a dishwasher, oh heck yes! Living in luxury in NYC 😂

It was also unfortunately the second apartment I've lived in that the landlord ended up selling the building 😳. NYC real estate is no joke guys.. So today I'm giving it one last hurrah to share some of my final decor dets before it got boxed up!

The perk to living in an apartment that is basically just a big rectangle is helloooooo wall space for a BIG gallery wall! Haha, I'm a sucker for a good gallery wall so I filled this baby up.

Something I've adopted in multiple apartments now, is my washi tape wall designs! Such an easy way to add some color or dose of excitement to your walls and it's just as easy to peel off when you move. Ideal for renters like me!

Another fun touch in the studio was my "confetti wall" above my bar cart. To add a little fun to that wall I got 2 different types of gold paper and used a die cut punch to create the little circles. Pop a little double sticky tape on them and wa-lah confetti wall!

I also had the most adorable little balcony that I LOVED! The perk to being on the top floor was there was nothing above me too -- the one perk to living on a 5th floor walk-up! Haha. In true Anna fashion, the balcony was just about as colorful as the apartment!

Little colorful studio, you are missed! Especially my extra dose of girliness, or as Chris referred to it as my "barbie dream house" decor. Well, that's a wrap! If you missed the apartment tour of the new digs make sure you check it out here too!

3 of the Best WeWork Locations in NYC
Anna Osgoodby Life + Design :: 3 of the Best WeWork Locations in NYC

While I absolutely love working at home -- heyyy commuting from my bed to my desk is MUCH easier than battling people on the subway -- I do enjoy getting out once in awhile. You know, because while I love my trusty assistant Scoots, sometimes it's good to get in some of that human interaction thing. Luckily for me, NYC is full of other entrepreneurs and go-getters, which is one of my favorite things about the city. To go along with that, there are also some really awesome co-working spaces -- one of my favorites being WeWork.

Depending on where you live, you may already be familiar with WeWork (and if you aren’t yet, they’re quickly taking over the world in coworking spaces so you will probably soon). The company offers collaborative workspace that caters to freelancers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses and offers everything from shared common spaces, monthly dedicated desks, or small offices. They also have an amazing social network available to members worldwide which has been a game changer for my business. There's a number of membership options depending on what you're looking for and I found their We Membership was just what I was looking for. As I mentioned, I actually really like working from home but sometimes I just need a change of scenery.

With my We Membership, I'm able to have access to their network and also get one day of workspace included each month that I can use at any of their locations worldwide. And if I want additional work days? I can purchase additional credits to fit my needs. Since I'm not tied down to a specific location, I've had a lot of fun adventuring through the city and trying different spaces out. Right now there is 36 locations in New York City, but that number might jump tomorrow! I'm serious, these guys are really taking over the world. While I haven't made it to all 36 just yet, I've made it to quite a few and already have a few favorites. So here you go!

Grand Central

This location is one of my favorites for a few reasons. The location is really easy to get to from the Upper East Side and really just about anywhere.. it is Grand Central! The common space is also very large so there's plenty of space to work with others. They also have the most beer taps that I've seen at a location. Not a terrible thing to have after 5pm right?!

Chelsea HQ

Talking about big common spaces, Chelsea takes the cake on this one. Probably because it's the WeWork HQ location. Out of all of the locations, I've spent the most time at this location because I did a series of recording sessions for iHeartRadio and Work Radio and their recording studio is at this location. This location is also great because there are a lot of long tables and you're never too far from an outlet.

Charging Bull

This is my 'chill WeWork' location and is honestly one of my favorites because I really like the decor. The common spaces are a little smaller (and on two different levels) but there's a big couch that you can work from and the ping pong table is right next to it, which is fun. Like other locations, they also have little phone booths for you to take calls in which I recommend because this workspace is generally a little louder than others.

While these are definitely my 3 favorites so far, I can't wait each month to check out a new one(so far I've been a member for a little over a year). If you're a fellow entrepreneur or in town on business, I highly recommend checking out the WeWork NYC locations. I only have great things to say!
