Two days after my HydraFacial and I’m still glowing. Did you know that even if you take excellent care of your skin, you should still see a facialist at least every three months? Do you know the last time I had a facial? Let’s just say it’s been a long time. Too long. Which is why when the opportunity to try a HydraFacial with Skin by Tatum arose, I jumped at the chance. There’s nothing like turning 41 to make you want to spend quality time doing good things for your skin. And after being ravaged by the flu, my skin was a dried-out disaster. I knew a visit with one of Miami’s top facialists fo ..read more

Bookworms unite. Share your love of reading with your kiddo this Valentine’s Day at Aventura Mall when I Love You, Stinky Face makes its Miami arrival. Milly and I have a thing for reading. Even before she was born, I read to her when she lived in my belly. Then, once she got here to planet Earth, we would read together every night. Goodnight Moon was our jam and today it chokes me up to even think about kittens and mittens. But that’s where the seed was planted. I’m happy to admit she just got on the board at school for reading one million words. And Milly doesn’t just read books, she devours ..read more

{What God didn’t give me for cheekbones, Smith & Co did with Voulma.} Contour. That’s fun, until you live in Miami and the humidity starts to cause your to sweat in a way that makes your contour slide down your face. And since fall is never actually coming to Miami, I’ve found a better way to make my contour last—with Voluma. I visited Danielle at Smith & Co and she injected the filler into my cheeks to give me fantastic cheek contour. It took effect immediately. And I love the look. It lasts for around a year, so there’s no need to rush back after just a few months. Contour that doe ..read more

When I was in high school and college I went through so much mascara trying to make my lashes extend to their fullest. I spent a lot of time looking like I had tarantula legs attached to my eyes. Those were the days before lash serums. So when Avon asked me to give their Anew Clinical Unlimited Lashes Lash & Brow Activating Serum a try, I said, “Sign me up.” I had a month and a half to test it out and see to what great lengths I could enhance my lashes. And it went a little something like this: These are my lashes before trying to product in mid-July. Visible, but not visible enough. Each ..read more

  {The big kid is off to college …} So you’ve worn a uniform to school every day of the week for the past 18 years to school. And now you’re off to college. What in the world are you going to wear? There’s a fashion-related problem if I’ve ever seen one. And also the question of the moment at our house now that Julien is flying the coop and heading off to college. Yes, we have a kid headed to college. And no, that does not make us old. (I keep telling myself.) After 18 years in private school, donning his polo shirts and khaki shorts, he was a little light in the clothing department. Lik ..read more

{c/o Speedo Helena Top and Piper Bottom. Photographed By Jorge Camaraza} Here’s something I’m guessing you probably didn’t know: Speedo makes teeny sexy bikinis now. The company, which celebrates its 90th year in production, has thrown a curveball into its image. And it’s amazing. I met up with the brand during Swim Week and got the whole scoop. And speaking of scoops, even the booty is scooped out of the bottoms. I actually couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The brand known for staying in place as divers twisted and turned off the high dive into the pool below, just brought sexy back. And t ..read more

{Wearing: Indah Vera bikini at Lapis at Fontainebleau’s Miami Spa Month Weekday Escape The Fabulous Foursome.} This is me, living my best life. Don’t hate. You can live your best life, too, now that Miami Spa Month is back. In the vein of my Extreme Beauty posts, I’ve done the “grueling” research for you to let you know which treatments to splurge on. But seriously, I visited the spa after moving and starting my first week of Pilates training, all while managing my regular workload. I was exhausted, bruised, sore and mentally strained. Like many of you when you reach overload, I needed a br ..read more
