My Winter Makeup Routine!

Many, many years ago (and it feels like a lifetime, really!) long before I finished college and started working my way through various firms and office gigs to get where I am now- I worked a couple of part-time jobs- including waitressing, doing lights at a comedy club and spending plenty of nights and weekends […]

In Like A Lion…

Hello everyone- and hello 2022! Happy New Year and Happy (belated) 2nd Birthday to ‘Coffee & Chiffon’- which was first launched on New Year’s Day back in 2020. Simpler times.

With Halloween approaching, and the need to stock up on candy for myself (and the Trick-Or-Treaters too, I guess? Mostly me, though!) I recently stopped by a famous New England landmark that I don’t think I’ve visited since I was a kid- a candy store that has been going strong since 1946. If you grew […]

Meet Me on the Equinox…

When I say the past few days have been an emotional and mental rollercoaster, it’s not an exaggeration. Between beautiful and relaxing afternoons spent in the picturesque surroundings of Vermont near peak-foliage time and then racing through important tasks at my job that popped up unexpectedly when I’d returned to the confines of my office- […]
