Things to get and give

I’m all about giving things that are unique and created by artists this year. Whether that means a good book that happens to be written by one of my friends, or a photograph I took or by a talented photographer friend or a unique design I created or a shoe I designed. Here are some of the new pieces available on my Society 6 shop now:

A Warm Recipe for Chilly Days

In the summer, we eat salads, but here in the Northeast, come November when the chill really sets in and it gets dark at 4PM, it’s kinda hard to get excited about eating a salad […]

What “Self Care” Really Means

Maybe it’s my Gen X perception, but all this talk about “self care” just seems silly and selfish to me. It conjures up images of women in bathtubs drinking wine or spending way too much time and money on spa treatments deemed necessary by all those influencers on Instagram. It grants permission to be selfish and self indulgent and while everyone deserves to treat themselves in whatever way makes them happy, over-emphasizing self-indulgent behaviors under the positive guise of “self care” seems all kinds of wrong to me. I decided to take a look at what self care really means.

Faye’s Finds Friday

Finding the right mascara is always tricky. There are plenty of drug-store brands that work well enough, but finding that one mascara that lengthens and thickens without clumping, that doesn’t dry out, that separates the lashes just so – that’s a magical thing. Enter Pat McGrath Labs Fetisheyes Mascara. Game changer.
