Local Loves: The Painted Stone

With Mother’s Day coming up within the next couple of weeks, and my planned mini-vacation to California happening right before it- I wanted to get a head start on picking out a unique and beautiful gift to give my mom before I made my way to the airport for take-off (and we have dinner plans […]

Local Loves: Retro Pop Shop

In all my travels through the Berkshires over these past few years since moving to Western Massachusetts, there is a brightly-colored shop on Laurel Street in Lee- not far from a few restaurants and bars I’ve frequented- that I’ve driven by no less than a hundred times but had never stopped in prior to this […]

My Spring Makeup Routine!

It’s been a few days since I’ve had to wear a jacket outside, there’s no visible snow/ice on the ground, and I have been incorporating more and more pastels and florals into my wardrobe and accessories- which means that Spring is finally here in New England and I can officially share some of the newest […]

I’m already starting to […]

OOTD: Cherished Details

Staying in my apartment for over 24 hours last weekend during the record-breaking polar vortex gave me quite a bit of time to catch up on TV series I’d fallen behind on, rearrange some furniture throughout my apartment, and reorganize my closet while looking for some additional blankets and fleece pajamas. Much to my surprise […]

My Winter Skincare/Hair Care Routine!

I consider myself fortunate that this Winter, up until now, anyway- has been fairly mild. Sure, we’ve seen a lot of snow flurries and the occasional storm pass through the Northeast, but the stuff that sticks usually melts within a couple of days- which has made driving/walking and otherwise getting around a lot easier and […]
