Sephora’s Spring Sale is on, so the time is ripe to stock up on all the quarantine self care creams for now and the best beauty basics for when we re-emerge anew from hiding someday. VIB Rouge members can shop now and get 20% through 5/1, VIB’s get 15% off starting 4/21, and Insiders (sign up is free) get 10% off from 4/23-4/27 with code SPRINGSAVE. I rounded up my favorites and broke them down by category. Here are my…
This week’s quarantine life brought some of the best news we’ve heard and some of the worst. I honestly didn’t even know what to write today until I talked to one of my nearest and dearest friends just now. The photo above was taken this morning, after I had cried before 10 AM (I won’t even go into detail because I am sure you can imagine why). I shared it with my close friends and told them how I was…
I am fairly certain that over the course of my past three pregnancies and nursing cycles, I tried every single aluminum free natural deodorant on the market. Some of them just don’t keep you dry or fresh, and almost all of them turned my armpits bright red. My skin is sensitive, and most scents irritate it. The best natural deodorant is the Megababe Rosy Pits Daily Deodorant. Some of us crunchies will be hyped to hear it’s made with sage…
I’m officially at a point where I am stuck somewhere between hell and the life I once knew: a purgatory of sorts. It feels as if some days we are bombarded with messaging telling us to stay positive all the while reading news that says people are dying all around us and we won’t be going back to anywhere anytime soon, let alone back to the way things were ever again. This messaging cycle has been sending me down a…
Part of my new normal includes wearing my fair share of sweatsuits. At this point, I’ll take comfort in any form I can get it, but I still like to look somewhat put together and polished. Lucky for all of us, joggers are in right now, and Saks Friends and Family sale is a gold mine of chic sweats. Soul Cycle’s Big Sale is also worth a look if you’re seeking Lululemon or Aviator Nation, but be advised a lot…
While some people put on a little makeup just to go down to the living room (hi!), others don’t bother unless they’re leaving the house. Whichever category you fall under, if you are a makeup wearer at all, you will be happy you ordered this palette come spring.…
Happy Fitness Friday! Not that days matter all that much any more. Anyway, today is a very special one because I’m sharing this gem of an at-home fitness resource who is not only a legend of her craft (featured on Live with Kelly and Michael, Good Morning America, Fox, in the New York Times, Woman’s Health, US Weekly, Fit Pregnancy, Fitness, Health Magazine, Shape and more), she is also a friend and a fellow ex-Manhattan turned Greenwich mom. Nikki Glor…
I’m sure you’ve seen recipes boasting the best chocolate chip cookies ever, but I know for a fact that only one exists and it’s this one right here. They’re a snow day staple at our house, and since we are on an extended worse-than-a-snow-day-hiatus from life, what better time like the present to bake a batch? These disappear whenever my husband is around, until the last cookie. I asked him once why he never eats the last cookie, and he…
I remember a recent conversation very clearly that I with my mother BC (before COVID-19). I told her that the one thing that makes me feel put together more than anything is having a manicure. For this admitted gel addict, the closure of nail salons was just the tip of the iceberg of mounting stress, uncertainty, and fear surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. I am that friend who received countless memes of nail roots in my DM’s the day non-essential businesses…
