Happy Friday! I had a busy, over scheduled week with too-long to do lists every day. This weekend I’m looking forward to finally seeing the DIOR exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum before it closes and having dinner with friends. I also hope to finish my book and start a new one as my friend sent me home from Upstate last weekend with a stack I can’t wait to dive into.

I hope you enjoy this week’s roundup & have a wonderful weekend!

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

• Spent a long weekend upstate – had a great time eating delicious food and treasure hunting at antique stores.
• I updated my Beauty Favorites in The Shop! All tried, tested & endorsed by me.
• Spent a lot of time building out exclusive content for those on my newsletter list. Building this list & offering exclusive content there is a big priority for me this year so no time like the present to get my newsletters!
