Shortly after making the move from Manhattan to Greenwich, I realized I needed to find an all natural bug spray for my kids and myself. If I’m out at night with a group of people, they’ll be unbitten and I’ll be Swiss cheese. Bugs love me. I must have some delicious blood. I’ve tried A LOT of different brands, and I have finally found the magic formula. This is not sponsored, I was not gifted this product, I am just…
In case you missed it, Wednesday was National Bikini Day so I shared my favorites from this season. If you’re wondering what to wear over yours, it’s a wear-all-day coverup that can take you from breakfast, to poolside, to the beach, to cocktails, and dinner. There is truly nothing better than the day I just described, in that perfect dress that does it all while keeping you cool, comfy and chic as F. Here are my top 5 best wear…
Today is National Bikini Day! Ah, the bikini: symbol of so many things for us. As I started this post, I thought back on a conversation I had at a local Sephora.

They protect our peepers from harmful UV rays, which contribute to a number of degenerative eye diseases and crows feet. My mother told me this from an early age, so I began wearing John Lennon style frames, then moved to cat eyes, then aviators, and I’d…
A fellow newly minted mom of two who is part of my mom tribe commented on an Instagram post of mine the other day, asking how and when I get my nails done. The answer is, having my nails painted is important to me because it helps me feel like myself, so I make it a priority.
