Welcome to the first ever home tour on The Backstage Blonde! Since moving into my new apartment last month, I have been completely obsessed with turning it into the coziest and girliest nest in all the land. Because I enjoy ferociously obsessing over every detail of a project until it’s perfect, with help from Burrow, Allswell, Bear Mattress, Bluebird Linens and Onsen, I achieved my goal in record time! I hope you enjoy this little home tour. Leave me a comment with any questions you have about decorating or the moving process!

This is an extremely bittersweet week, as last night, my dear friend Courtney Rhodes Reed took her last bow in Aladdin on Broadway and is moving to Los Angeles. She has been with the show since its inception and originated the role of Princess Jasmine. Courtney was my very first friend at Aladdin, has become one of my best friends and feels like family.

Today, we are kicking off a new blog series and I am PUMPED about it! The Team Teale posts will properly introduce you all to the team of badass babes who love and support me with my blog endeavors every day.First up is my little baby angel Intern Caitlin!

So I did a little reflecting today, and I'm sure from the outside all of my crazy pictures on Instagram and this blog must make it look like my life is insane. I promise I am not always on a yacht or hanging out in public places with inflatable pool toys – just most of the time. In case you aren’t sick of my shenanigans yet, I thought I would share some more pictures from one of our favorite nights last week.

I have had a lot of amazing birthday celebrations, but this year has already earned the number one spot… and it's not even over yet! On Thursday night, I had my birthday party at the PHD Terrace at the Dream Midtown. It was absolutely wonderful dancing all night on a Manhattan rooftop with all of my favorite people!
