Morning Routine Ideas for a Productive Day

Your morning habits play a big role in the rest of the day, and establishing a good morning routine can be the difference between a good day and a great one. Sure, we can’t totally control what happens in our lives, but a healthy routine first thing in the morning can help set the tone […]

Everything You Need For A Spa Day At Home

I am a big proponent of frequently setting time aside for yourself frequently for self-care. For me, this can range from a variety of things. It could be as small as reading a good book in the morning without any distractions or something bigger like a 90-minute massage. If you don’t have the time for […]

As a self-proclaimed type-A person who likes organization, I am constantly finding ways to optimize and organize everything I own.

In an over-stimulated world that seems to be advocating that you be doing the most, it can feel difficult to drown out the noise to focus on yourself and the things you want for your professional or personal life.

AYR Jeans Review: Secret Sauce, Legend, The Pop & Voila Pant

I worked in the premium denim industry for several years at a few different brands, so I’d like to think I know a thing or two about good jeans. At one point, I probably owned over 60 pairs of jeans, but over time I’ve become more selective in my denim investments now that I don’t […]

The Home Alone Experience at The Plaza

The Home Alone Experience at The Plaza

The moment I discovered that you could book a Home Alone experience at The Plaza hotel, I added it to my bucket list. I watch Home Alone every year on Thanksgiving Day after dinner, and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York on Christmas Eve. It’s been a family tradition for as long as I […]

Fall French Capsule Wardrobe: Essentials for the Minimalist

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve very much enjoyed embracing more of a capsule wardrobe, and I’ve found that by purchasing high quality, elevated essentials, I’m able to get dressed easier, love what I wear, and rarely have a day when I feel like I have nothing in my closet thanks to what feels like endless […]
