My AUSome Trip

When my fiance popped “the-very-important-question,” I said Yes!!! Now, I had one for him. What do YOU think? Watch the video and help me decide!!! Congrats! I’m so glad to share this journey with my readers and followers, whether from the Macaulay community, youtube friends, or pintrest! (Plus real life family and friends- Hi and […]

Loyal followers will recall that Purim is my favorite holiday of all, and that the joy of costumes does not in any way diminish as you age. This year, I got to make Hamantashen with my new family! Thanks for being so great! The original video: May the joy and celebration of Purim continue in […]

Check out this really cool technique for creating original masterpieces. All you need is some old crayons, a blow dryer, and a canvas board. Oh, and a fork. Click to watch the video with guest star, my sister. Enjoy, Lilach 6

As a senior, I tend to see things in that “this-is-the-last-time” way. The last time I’ve had to register for classes for my last semester as an undergrad, my last semester as a Macaulay student. It’s also the last time I’ll have this super long winter break–ridiculously long five weeks. So what does one do […]

In the two weeks of my actual summer vacation my parents and I traveled south to Washington DC. The plan was simple: visit museums, see some national monuments and find a pool. Plus if you know my family, you’ll know a trip is never complete without a barbeque at a park. Great Falls National Park, […]

Summer vacation is finally upon me. After completing two summer classes and my audiology internship I’m finally on vacation and I have twenty days before fall semester. Let the summer-ing begin! I love visiting museums because you always feel like you’re learning something even while you’re simply enjoying the art. There’s a sense of calm […]

It’s great to have visitors on my home “turf.” Thanks for coming! Smiles, Lilach 6

I’m already starting to miss this beautiful, inviting, creative, happy, relaxed city. I thought I’d be calling Melbourne home for just a few months, but I didn’t know I’ve created a permanent tether to this place. Melbourne may be really far away, but it will always be close to my heart. Presenting a preemptively nostalgic […]

So my host family took me to their grandparent’s farm in Red Hill. It was so much fun! Even though it was raining, you can tell that Judah (my Australian little brother) and Hila (my good friend) and I enjoyed hanging out together and making a fun vlog together. Making this video really meant a […]

Amy is the coolest Australian I know. She took me on a short trip to the Dandenong Range surrounding the city to feed some Rosella parrots and get a great skyline view of Melbourne. It was great to make friends with AUSome Austrlians and fun to sit under the expansive sky. Ten episodes in and […]

Hey Everyone! You must know by know that I love art, and therefore museums. With all due respect to classics, I must say that Modern Art grabs your attention and imagination in an underhanded way. You try to get inside the artist’s head and understand why they would do such a thing. Of course, there’s […]

“Now don’t you go calling this Australian Rules Football, American tourist, it’s footy and it’s serious business!” Best game I’ve ever been to- (also, only game I’ve ever been to:) But I feel converted. Go BLUES!   Doesn’t get more Aussie than Footy at the MCG! Enjoy, Lilach     9

In a previous post, I spoke about my incredible fascination with phonetics. I made a few tutorials using a method that some youtubers such as Josh Sundquist and Vi Hart use. Enjoy this little presentation about the basics of phonetics, of course condensing many hours of studying into mere minutes. A big thank-you goes out […]

To some, the snow is a lousy nuisance, and to some it is joy in its whitest form. It’s all in how you look at things.
