We’ve made it to the end of the week & I’m back in New York after a blissful week in Paris. I tried really hard this trip to balance work priorities with actually taking time off. As someone self employed this is extremely difficult but I did return home feeling more relaxed, restored and inspired than when I left and for that I am so grateful.

I’m hitting the ground running today with a couple meetings and appointments in the city but will so be looking forward to a Saturday with no plans. Sunday, however I’m heading back up to this amazing place – I can’t wait to see the Fall colors! Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

• Explored my beloved Paris and did a lot of things I’ve never done before that I can’t wait to share with you guys! I also had an epic (and much needed) facial at the Darphin Institute which is one of the loveliest beauty destinations in all of Paris and even snuck in a workout class which was fun to experience boutique fitness in the city of lights.
