Happy Friday! I flew back from Paris yesterday and had plans to hit the ground running going to an event and then meeting girlfriends for dinner but…my body had other ideas. I woke up with a bout of food poisoning and probably the roughest travel day I’ve ever had in my life. I was just saying prayers and doing deep breathing that I would make it home ok but was standing at the airport at 7:30AM really considering whether I needed to book an airport hotel room and wait this out. Needless to say, I have never been so happy to get home and into my own bed.

I’m really hopeful today that I will recoup as I have plans tomorrow to shoot some holiday content and have a Friendsgiving which I have so been looking forward to! This past trip to Paris was wonderful (food poisoning aside) but intense. I had so much to fit in to just four days and nearly every night I was up till at least midnight catching up on work and then was up at 6:30 every morning to prepare for shoots or meetings. It was great but definitely not relaxing in any way! To say I am hoping for a nap this weekend would be an understatement!

I hope you enjoy this week’s roundup & check back here tomorrow as my first gift guide will be launching!

READ + LOOK + LOVE:

• Cool standout products from female-founded beauty brands.
• In exciting news, Photoshop is launching an app!

• How to deal with flight delays and other travel headaches.

SHOP AND LOOK LONGINGLY:

• Speaking of Amazon, I needed a new black umbrella after an unfortunate slipping / umbrella-injuring incident of mine in Soho the other week so I bought this one and have been really happy with it all week in Paris during the drizzling. Well made and so easy to open & close (which is a must for me when it comes to brellies).
