I was definitely disappointed when the Cravings book signing party in NYC sold out before I could snag a ticket. But I felt like if it was meant to happen, it would. Of course, I did put a little effort into it. Good old Twitter. I found someone who accidentally bought an extra ticket and couldn’t … [Read more…]
I attended my first Rebecca Minkoff Runway show during Fashion Week this season. Besides owning a couple of Minkoff bags, I have no affiliation with the designer. But I am part of the Instyle Trendsetters community, and an email inviting select NYC members to the show got sent out. And one got sent to me! … [Read more…]
I was so surprised and excited when my friend Joni gave me this Chagrin Valley shampoo bar. She is not what you would consider a crunchy granola type, but she has recently gotten into natural products and oils. Which is totally awesome. I think we could all benefit from using less ingredients we can’t … [Read more…]

I found this awesome recipe from Chrissy Teigen’s blog “So Delushious” for fish en papillote-that’s fancy French for “in parchment packet”. I was super excited because my husband is very into healthy fish dishes. Even though he’s Italian, he prefers not to have pasta for dinner (Yes, I find this disturbing). It is SO freaking … [Read more…]
Hey, everyone! I hope your 2016 has started off well. I haven’t put a lot of thought into my resolutions yet, but I can already tell you two eating habits I plan to change. Goal 1a) Stick to ordering ONE entree. #fbf because that was my past life. Goal 1b) Don’t order food that is … [Read more…]
Here’s the deal here: You have the beautiful sleepy beach town area of Las Terrenas… and then you have the bustling epicenter of the pueblo with the locals and constant stream of scooters and motorcycles zooming by. I love that we are staying in the tranquil area near the beach, but we are five minutes … [Read more…]
My husband Andrew and I were so stoked to be able to go on a winter vacation away from the cold in NYC. It’s always so satisfying to leave the frosty city for a beach destination.
