Michael Angelo’s Wonderland is no joke. You walk in and it’s like an adult Candyland, PeeWee’s Playhouse, and Wonka’s Chocolate Factory all in one. It’s pure, unadulterated fun. I’ve been wanting to experience their services for a while, but have always been distracted. I’m so happy I finally took the journey to the Meatpacking District. [...]
Score one for the team! Smart USA just released a study that found Americans value “Right-Sized Lifestyle Over Conspicuous Consumption”. At first, I thought, “are they polling the right America?” After all, this is the land of consumerism, materialism, and “bigger is better” Texan mentality (no offense, Texans).

When Liz Earle approached me about trying their brand new Botanical Shine Treatment, I was definitely over the moon. As you know, I love their skincare [...]
Is it just me or is getting ready one of the best parts of the day? Maybe I should amend that. Getting ready for special events is probably my favorite part of those days. The luxury of time, the leisurely pace, the smidgen of extra care all makes me feel like I’m a wonderfully sophisticated [...]
