Welcome to Totally Buffalo! A local lifestyle website.
My name is Mary Friona-Celani and I am the creator of this site! I’m a wife, a mom, a grandma, a Buffalo booster, an entrepreneur and a small business owner. I’m so glad you stopped by. After 20 years in the buffalo media, I went out on my own to tell stories about the people, places, events and all-around fabulousness of this wonderful place we call home. Buffalo is different and so is this site. We are here to share stories, encourage kindness, and help make this a better place to live.
We’ll help those in need when we can through our charity arm, Totally Buffalo Cares.
We help local small businesses, artisans and vendors though our events and our Totally Buffalo Stores.
We’ll do all of this with a little help from friends in our community.
