After returning from my yearly jaunt to Europe I needed to visit my dear grandfather whose health is declining. I had very little time to unpack and repack for this trip. However I’ve packed for warm locales over and over so it’s pretty easy now. The morning of my flight I got ready super early […]
This week I checked out the new Beauty 2.0 at Saks Fifth Avenue flagship store. Last year they had a wellness pop up and this expanded beauty floor is making waves. First of all it’s a big change to move cosmetics from the first floor to the second floor. Traditionally in Department stores the cosmetics […]
Ahh the holidays. Gift giving… It doesn’t have to be stressful and it doesn’t have to be expensive. It can be as simple as you make it. In my family, I have some members who prefer to NOT give or receive gifts, so we get creative and give experiences or do charitable donations. Never the less, […]
Have you ever come home from the grocery store with $75 worth of food and yet you feel you have nothing to make or eat? You have chips but no dip, entrée but not app, missing ingredients to a signature dish? It’s much like a full closet and nothing to wear! We all experience this […]

I’m a big fan of the Sunday Styles Section in the New York Times. This weekend I read an article that I can’t get out of my head. It’s about Fabrice Grinda who, approaching 40 years old and despite being worth approximately 100 million dollars, decided to give up his lavish estate (including a butler) […]
I’ve spoken about the less-is-more concept before on my blog here and here. Every day I become even more aware of how little of our stuff we actually need. Do I really need 6 different pots? Nope, just 2 perfect sized pots. And wooden spoons? How many things do I really cook at once? Oh and sweaters…the […]
