Revealing my window treatments today on wit & whimsy! Here’s a sneak peek 👀 but the blog post has all the details on my experience with @everhem who I worked with to bring warmth and privacy to my place ✨

I never realized what a huge difference custom window treatments could make until I had them installed in my new place. @everhem is working to make the process more streamlined and easier and I’m sharing my review of their site and product in detail.

I can’t believe it’s March again. I can’t believe it’s almost a year since shelter in place began. I can’t believe it’s been a year since we knew normal life.

There have been many silver linings in this past year - I remind myself to be grateful for those - but it’s hard to swallow the last year as we reflect.

There’s so much I miss about life pre-COVID. But one thing I really miss is my days spent wandering my favorite NYC neighborhoods aimlessly in the sunshine - seeing where my feet will take me, snapping photos, seeing who I might run into, what I may eat or drink and what new spot I may happen upon.

I rarely go into Manhattan these days and it’s always with an agenda to be taken care of as quickly as possible. The spontaneity is gone for now. But I can’t wait till it returns.

📍West Village in 2019

#witwhimsy #reflections #westvillage

This past week I had such a powerful reminder that we don’t always know why the hard stuff happens to us - sometimes it’s revealed and other times it’s not.

But this week I was shown that sometimes the hard stuff can turn into a lifeline - years later. And I’ll forever be grateful for that perspective.

If you’re going through some $h!t right now- know it’ll get better and know that sometimes it’s even more worth the battle than you could imagine.

You know that scene in Father of the Bride when George Banks loses it over the number of hot dog buns in a pack? 🌭 George, I feel you 😩

I feel like I can never make a burger or hot dog or great sandwich at home because I certainly don’t need 6 or 8 buns as someone living alone. (I get guilt about food waste!)

But I am thrilled to share that I have found a solution to not only my bun woes but also my major case of recipe fatigue that’s been plaguing me lately (the struggle has been so real recently)

I am so excited to be sharing my review of @blueapron on wit & whimsy today- read about the perks of their meal delivery options (+ the improvements they’ve made since I last tried them four years ago! 👏🏻)

The post also includes an offer to score $100 off your first 5 boxes of Blue Apron! It’s a flash sale with the biggest savings I’ve seen so be sure to jump on it if you’re a new customer! (That’s a lot of free meals!) 🍔🥪🍜🥙

I finally did it!! I sat down and wrote my in depth review of all my favorite @caudalieus products!

Caudalie has become one of my favorite skincare brands over the years and I’m sharing the products I love and my tips for using them in detail with ingredient breakdowns, price and how I use each in my own regimen.

I hope you’ll find it helpful and I’m glad it’s all in one place now as I get asked about their products often!

The post took me over 3 hours to do so I sure hope you guys find it helpful 🥰

Two years ago I was in London and it felt like Spring weather in February!

@katescott10 and I went on this trip with @londoneye and it was just the best. (Also was reunited with @themodernotter 👋🏻 I miss seeing blog friends!)

I lived in London from 1994-1996 and have been lucky to go back often for visits. I absolutely love this charming city! I miss it. It’s near the top of my list to return to when the world reopens 🇬🇧

For the record, I also miss this uniform of mine I’d wear at least once a week. Bodysuits, I do not miss, however 😝

May your coffee be strong and your Monday productive!

All things considered I had a really nice weekend - I enjoyed the most beautiful snowy night walk, took naps, played a board game with family via Zoom, went to mass with my mom & sister via Zoom, did drinks over Zoom, caught up with girlfriends over Zoom (my social plans are still being extra cautious!) and ticked off several items I’d been meaning to get done around my apartment.

I made two delicious @blueapron meals in anticipation of my forthcoming review (will be live Thursday!), started watching The Good Place, made progress on my book and absolutely *loved* going through all of your responses on yesterday’s Instagram feed photo- it felt nice to be in such wonderful and positive company and really warmed my heart at this amazing community of people ❤️ love you guys so much!

How was your weekend?
