I’m sitting here, staring at my screen, waiting for inspiration to strike me, and I’m thinking ‘well, I’ll just write about how to get inspired to write a blog post.’ Very meta huh? Is that what meta is? I’ve never really understood the whole meta thing. Butttt I digress. In all honesty, I don’t think that I could tell you anything helpful about how to get inspired to write a blog post. I am always telling Catherine that she is so good at writing mindful, inspired posts and I’m always over here like HEY HOW COOL IS THIS DRESS? (more…)
As we are coming up on 30 (yes, coming up on – still have another glowing year of our 20s left, don’t freak out), we are becoming increasingly more aware of how we are preparing our skin for aging. Yes we know, embrace your age and yada yada yada, but, come on, we all want to look this age for as long as possible. We are particularly keen to find the best eye serums – and the market is flush with brands claiming to have the best products! Most recently, we partnered with Shopping Links to try out the 
Splattered across social media and consuming small talk conversations over the past week has been the crazy weather – at least in our neck of the woods.

In such situations, I have got to make sure I am prepared for whatever may come my way when I walk out the door in the morning.
We have never met a Four Seasons Hotel that we didn’t like. I mean, really, who has? We had the luxury of staying at the new Four Seasons Hotel Downtown in NYC during our last visit and it was divine. From the marble bathrooms to the room service breakfast (those waffles!) and everything in between, it was truly a dream from the moment we walked in the door. We are seriously convinced that Four Seasons employees are the best of the best and we always know that they are going to take the best care of us during our stays. 
Well folks, here we are in 2017 and I am going to write a little bit about my goals, as cliche as it it may be. 2016 was an amazing year- John and I bought a house, my sister and Catherine both got engaged, I started helping my mom out with her Turkish Towel biz, and of course the blog has continued to flourish (thank you all for your help with that!) That being said, it was a veryyyyy busy year and things were so overwhelming at times that it was tempting to just shut down completely. My goal for 2017 is to avoid said meltdown moments.
We hope you all had a fantastic holiday! We put in a lot of time with our families and have been doing some major goal setting for 2017. We will continue to share those goals with you throughout the next few weeks but for now, we’ll just share our newest obsessions. If you’re like us you probably got some Christmas money or were looking for a gift that Santa just didn’t bring you this year and are already to do some more shopping.
