Dear Evan Hansen

While my parents and sister were in town last month, I was trying to come up with fun things to do. We had plans one day/night, and that left one other full free day/night. Sometimes we go into the city when they’re here and sometimes we don’t. We decided to make a trip to NYC for…

How I Read A Lot

So I’m just going to preface this by saying, I don’t think that I read “a lot.” That’s a pretty subjective measurement! “A lot” of reading for a working mom is going to look different than “a lot” of reading for a student during summer vacation. In 2017, I only read 31 books and about…

Cold Weather

STAYING WARM

Considering that I’ve forced myself to LOVE winter this year (or at least not hate it), I’ve been narrowing in on how to make it more enjoyable. Without a doubt, the number one thing that I think is going to save me sounds easy enough. (It’s really just common sense.) Dressing. For. The. Weather. There’s a rhymed Norwegian phrase that translates to English as, “There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.”

On My Radar

Happy Friday everyone! I’m currently in Vermont, and…. omg, I just love it here. It’s reinvigorated my hunt for a little house up here. (My friend Abby recently posted a tour of her Vermont house, and it’s everything that I’ve dreamed of.) I know a lot of people want to retire someplace warm like Florida, but Vermont has…

Après Ski

I’m in Stowe right now for a ski trip! It was a little last minute, but after finding the cutest chalet on Airbnb, it was hard to say no to a few days of skiing. Of course, Vermont (as most of the country) is experiencing a cold snap, so it’s supposed to be pretty frigid. All things considered, it’s looking like we’re going to have a bit of luck with two twenty degree days (as opposed to the negatives for the rest of the week). Fingers crossed it’s bearable!

Beauty

My Anti-Wrinkle Secret

Over the past couple of years, I have been trying to incorporate anti-aging products into my daily beauty routine. I haven’t found something that I totally loved, so I opted for prevention instead of correction. I grew up in Florida as a very pale kid with a family of people who tanned to golden brown…

Lilly Pulitzer S’Well Bottle Giveaway

I knew the Lilly Pulitzer S’Well bottles they released earlier this winter would sell out. My friend and I were at the ready online to try to get one. I was pretty lucky and got all three… and then went to the store in Greenwich just in time to scoop up the last one in stores….
