Born of Dominican descent, Arie Rich is a New York City resident for over 20 years. As means to keep up with the pulse of New York City, Arie Rich coined the phrase “Keep Me Posted.” Shortly after, the phrase developed into KMPBlog.com.

But splitting your time and your space between work and family obligations can quickly become […]
This Valentine’s day why not treat yourself to something special. Valentine’s day is not always about pampering your special someone, it is also about pampering yourself.

If you watch a movie this weekend, make sure Sanctum is on your top 3. I was given the chance to watch this movie early this week and I must say the trailers didn’t do it justice. I literally had my eyes closed, covered my face throughout some scenes and held tightly on my boyfriend. […]
