MY BEDROOM TOUR

In my fantasy house scenario, I have a master suite. One of those bedrooms people in movies inexplicably have, like huge walk in closets and a spare seating area to enjoy breakfast over the paper, there’s a fireplace. This probably has more to do with fitting a camera and lens into the location than projecting a realistic lifestyle, but still […]

DIY EDIBLE FACE MASKS

I’ve been working on simplifying my skincare routine for a few years now, and not just by removing clutter on my counter.

With summer here, I dream of popping open a bottle of rosé and pretending I’m in the south of France, hanging out with Grace Kelly and Cary Grant in To Catch a Thief.
