Have you ever had a week where everything goes…right? This was one of those weeks for me. For some reason, this was a week where my energy levels started strong, and I was somehow able to sustain that momentum until Friday. Perhaps it was because I attended this wellness event last weekend or that I put some of my new wellness products to the test this week. But whatever the actual reason, I had a level of energy that was unmatched and that I wish I could bottle up and have on hand every week.  Here’s what kept me going this week:  Masterclass with my business coach: One thing ..read more

In the past, when it came to summer nails, my go-to shades tended to be white or coral (and occasionally lavender). But this summer, I’m switching it up with Manucurist’s new Sunset Kiss collection filled with vibrant hues and shimmery shades that make for perfect pairings.  While the Wisteria shade that I shared in this post was an instant favorite, I was eager to try all of the shades in the collection. However, I wasn’t prepared to try them all at once. That was until I perused Manucurist’s Instagram page and spotted the beautiful ombré nail art that could be created, that I became in ..read more

This weekend was an amazing blend of community, connection, and classes—workout classes, of course. On Saturday, I drove out to East Hampton to attend a Pilates class hosted by Paula Sanders, the founder of World’s Your Oysta. If you’re passionate about health, wellness, and self-care, or like me, want to know about all of the latest skincare and beauty products, tune in to her podcast for insider tips on her #HotRichAuntieApproved favorites.  I’ve been following Paula on Instagram for a while and I listen to her podcast regularly, but we had never met in person. So, I was excited to sna ..read more

Each season, I reassess what’s in my closet and then decide what I need to replace. However, this summer, the decision was made for me when I noticed that all of my shorts seemed to be simultaneously missing in action (and the ones I did manage to locate needed to be retired ASAP).  To be honest, I’m not much of a shorts wearer (although with the hot and humid days we’ve had so far this summer, I’ve become one). I tend to workout in leggings and wear maxi dresses often when it’s too hot to put together an entire outfit. But after perusing my local Target in search of the perfect pair of ..read more

I will need July to slow down a bit right about now. As much as I love celebrating the Fourth of July, it starts to feel like the summer moves at warped speed after the holiday…and I’m not ready for it. While I’m still riding a high from all of the fun activities I had on my agenda over the long weekend, I’m also looking forward to some upcoming events I have happening later this month—and something that just arrived (seen above) that I’m excited to share a little more about in this post!  Go: This weekend, I’m heading to Southampton for an SLT Pilates workout. While I always love attend ..read more

Wow, this Fourth of July weekend felt like a long one…but in the best way possible. If you had asked me last week what I was doing for the holiday, I would have told you, not much. But as is always the case, my calendar quickly became filled with fun activities.  I started my celebrations on Wednesday afternoon when I was asked to fill in as crew on my friend’s sailboat for what was the last race of the spring season. It was a hot and humid summer day, so being out on the water was the place to be. Not only did we have a beautiful night and good company, but we also came in first place i ..read more

It’s a short week for my friends in the US, and it also happens to be one of my favorite holiday weeks to celebrate. Not only do we get treated to spectacular fireworks shows on Long Island, but there are also lots of summer sales happening. Loft has some great pieces at up to 40% off (with an extra 20% off) when you shop online.  I pulled together some summer pieces in my Loft storefront, so if you’re looking for good red, white, and blue options to celebrate the upcoming Fourth of July holiday, I’ve got you covered. You can even snag the Perfect Ribbed Tank Midi Dress I’m wearing in Co ..read more

If you’re looking for the perfect nail colors for summer, Manucurist has them in their Sunset Kiss collection. Naturally, I wasted no time opening my recent delivery from Manucurist and trying one of the newest colors in the collection, Wisteria, out on my nails. And let me say, this is the perfect purple shade for summer!  I’ve solely been using Manucurist products since discovering the brand, and I’ve never had nails that look as good as they do now. As someone who only used to use regular polishes, my nails always looked damaged, and as a result, I used to always keep polish on them ..read more

I know we are only mid-week, but sometimes, you have to celebrate the small things (like the heat dome lifting even a little). This week started like all the others, except for the fact that I came into it with more energy and focus than usual. That could be because I had a relaxing weekend filled with activities I love and enjoyed my time at LongHouse Reserve or because I knew I had a lot to get done, and I was ready to get to it. Either way, there have been little wins here and there, and I’ve been ready to embrace them all.  Last night, I decided to take myself out to dinner to e ..read more

Over the weekend, I found myself in the Hamptons. Since it was a hot and humid weekend thanks to the lingering heat dome, I was looking for something fun and different to do while I was on the East End. For as many years as I’ve been going to the Hamptons, one place has always been on my bucket list—LongHouse Reserve, a spectacular 16-acre oasis in East Hampton, complete with gardens, sculptures, and outdoor art installations. It was about a twenty-minute drive (in the usual Hamptons traffic) from my morning in Bridgehampton, and I decided that I was finally going to visit.  As I made m ..read more
