This year, I focused more on my skin. At 42, life is catching up to my face with dryness, uneven skintone, fine lines, loss of elasticity, dullness, and increased sensitivity. This year I really think I dialed in my skincare to get the best results. I dialed it in so much, I refused a few…
When it gets as cold as it did yesterday, jeans are the last thing on my mind. I just don’t find them warm or wind repellant enough to keep me comfortable in the depths of winter. My favorite way to dress this time of year is with sweater dresses, fleece tights, and tall boots. Dress:…
This summer, I was invited to a lunch to celebrate the launch of FreshDirect DC. Prior to the event, I hadn’t heard of FreshDirect but it was happening a day when I was off work, it involved free food, and was taking place just down the block from where I had another meeting that day….
