Insta-hacked: how it happened and what I did

If you asked me a week ago what two-factor authentication, I would have told you that I was not great in math. Ask me now, and I would tell you “Don’t waste time building your Instagram account without it”.  So picture this: I’m out with clients showing a few houses around 8PM Tuesday, 8/24/22 and my daughter texts me to tell me my Instagram account had been hacked. At that moment there wasn’t much I could do but spend half the night trying to find out what happened. I had inadvertently let the stranger in. While Instagram is an amazing platform for personal and business accounts to shar ..read more

Being honest is powerful, especially with yourself… And what better way to express yourself than with graphic tees.  When LilyCloth reached out to me about their unique line of graphic tees, I was unfamiliar with the company. If you ask me about them now, I will tell you they are my go-to when shopping for this style of clothing. Be Kind At this stage I am so excited to share my favorite tees from @liliclothofficial. Lilicloth offers adorable and funny graphic clothing, super soft & very affordable!! Sunflower Sunflowers remind me of driving through Italy a few years back. They are br ..read more

Can You Relax in Disney?

Well, it depends how you structure your vacation. Let’s take a step back for a moment. Ten years ago, a very good friend of mine invited us away for a Disney vacation; she was a DVC member, owned in Bay Lake Tower and organized a vacation that my kids still refer to as one of the best they’ve ever had.  Epcot Garden ShowTwinings Tea GardenAvatarThe Jungle CruiseEpcot We learned about Disney from a completely different perspective and, eight years ago, became DVC members ourselves, buying our points at The Grand Floridian.   Granted, Disney has gone through quite a few changes in ..read more

Spring Forward

This year feels different, I’m ready for a break, and traveling is starting to sound like a great idea! I think we will start with a long drive, well, not too long, about 3 1/2 hours from where we are, I know the perfect place. I think it’s fair to say we we’ve earned some downtime. The spring brings new growth and a fresh start. Nothing is exactly the same as it was and I find I reach for who and what I can depend on because we’ve all learned at this stage, moments matter. And that brings me to the Adirondacks, just the name evokes a fall feel and after the last few months,  I am mo ..read more

Snow, Tea and Olive Oil

Don’t quit your daydream or your day-trips! We had reservations, and even though we were at the end of another snowstorm in New York, I needed to get out; we needed to get out and I would do just about anything for a good cup of tea.  I found this tea-house quite by accident. My daughter had an assignment for her college class ‘Anthropology of Food’. Her focus was the concept of afternoon tea as a marker of class and how it is totally divorced from its origins and ignores its colonial history (I know, that’s a mouthful:). So, in an effort to assist in showing two different poi ..read more

Simple Favorites

Given a healthy glow starts from within, I do believe it’s all about skincare, and Simple Beauty Minerals has you covered from how to take care of your skin to the products that bring out the best of you. I gravitate most days to the ‘no makeup, makeup look’ and when I want to take that to the next level, I like to highlight one feature to complete the look. While I don’t think it’s about how many products you apply, I do think how you apply them makes the difference, which brings me to one of the reasons I love these products: they multi-task and they are almost ‘mistake-proof’. So let me sta ..read more

When I was 21…on the day I turn 60.

When I was 21, it was a very good year, (reminds me of the Frank Sinatra song)…but it’s not! I was engaged to be married, I thought my life was laid out in front of me, with children in my future.  That would happen but not for twenty years, little did I know that then.  I was divorced by 26 with my biggest regret being I didn’t have the child that I dreamed of having.  Fast forward to 39, (but it wasn’t so fast), a new marriage and my daughter on the way.  I remember thinking while I was pregnant, about how my age would compare to her age as the years went by and ..read more

Did I Remember To Tell You?

I was paying bills and going through my files one afternoon when my son came into my office and asked why the school didn’t teach them “this stuff”?   “What stuff are you talking about?”  He said “The real stuff, the stuff I’,ll have to do when I’m older, when I have a full-time job – dealing with an apartment or a house, a family, a doctor’s appointment”. That was the moment it occurred to me that I won’t be here forever. How will they know what to do, the small things not the big ones? I answered my own question by admitting that I hadn’t know either. I learned for m ..read more

A Mini-Shopping Spree

After many months on on-line shopping, I actually allowed myself to go into a store (I resisted the urge to say old-fashioned storefront). How nice it was to just ‘feel’ the clothes again and I wanted to share a few of my finds. Loft had quite a few new styes to choose from with 40% off the total cost. These shoes I ordered on line a few months back and can finally start wearing them:) I wasn’t quite sure about these pants; they do have a wider waistband but I can tell you they fit perfectly and even have a pocket! We all need at least one bag that will stand the test of time and this is t ..read more
