Spring In My Step…

One of the ways I tend to gauge if Spring has finally defeated Winter for seasonal dominance here in New England is to keep track of how many days in a row I can spend time outdoors, open the windows in my apartment, etc. without the need for a jacket or a blanket thrown over […]

Local Loves: Gombo

For as far back as I can remember, since I was a kid, I think- I’ve had a fascination and deep love for New Orleans. The history, the music, the culture and the food. I’d been planning a stay down in Louisiana pre-COVID (that obviously had to be postponed as a result) and am now […]

My Spring Makeup Routine!

Although it doesn’t really feel like it with the current weather outside my window (see: snow/sleet) Spring is officially here and ongoing in the Northeast, and I’ve been gradually updating my wardrobe, my accessories- and my makeup regimen to go hand-in-hand with the change of seasons! While my Winter 2023/2024 collection was all about bold […]

Welcoming April…

Hello, April! It’s so good to see you! This week ahead is filled with birthdays (and celebrations for said birthdays), work obligations, and the possibility of some snow/sleet since Winter refuses to go out without a fight- but I love the sense of optimism I have at the beginning of each new month and my […]
