Earlier this week, I got my Fall FabFitFun box and was so excited that I gave the box a hug! Even though I wanted to rip right into the box the second I got into the house, I held off until Saturday afternoon when I had more time to actually sit down with the box and go through it product by product. {*Disclosure: I am a FabFitFun Affiliate, which means if you order from my blog posts, I receive a small commission. #fffaffiliate #fffpartner} A couple of weeks ago, I got an email from FabFitFun, with a sneak peak of what was […]
How You Can Support Breast Cancer Awareness in October
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is a cause that is close to my heart because I work with a couple of general surgeons who treat patients who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Every other week, I sit in a room full of surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, and plastic surgeons, where each case of newly diagnosed breast cancer is discussed, and where mammograms, breast ultrasounds, breast MRIs, and biopsy results are discussed in detail. Some of those patients discussed in that Breast Conference are my patients. Well, not technically my patients, but I do work closely with […]
My Love of Fall and October
October is my favorite month of the year, mainly because it is the month I got married, but also because the weather is crisp and cool and the landscape changes from lush and green to reds, golds, and browns. This is the season when I can I start to pull out my sweaters and scarves and boots and dress in layers. Also, I get to cook hot meals and plan festive get-togethers with friends. Since there are 31 days in the month of October, I’ve put together a showcase of 20+ great ideas for meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), beautiful fashion ideas, and […]
Men of Style: Emmys Edition
The Emmys wrapped up on Sunday night and there were winners and losers. All I was watching were the sexy men who walked the Red Carpet. Here are some of my favorite men’s looks that walked the Red Carpet. Aziz Ansari (Master of None) rocked the Red Carpet a little more casual than most, but this look worked for me. It was casual, yet so Aziz! I love that Liev Screiber (Ray Donovan) brought his son, Alexander, as his plus-one. This father-son duo was adorable. And who could resist Jon Snow, a.k.a. Kit Harrington (Game of Thrones), who was looking so sexy on […]
Vanity Ideas for Small Spaces
I am still in the process of turning a small bedroom into my dressing room, and I’ve been looking at ideas for my vanity. I don’t have much room in my small dressing room, and I am thinking of turning my antique desk into my vanity. But then, where would I put my sewing machine? I do have a small rolling table that I can (and probably will) repaint and then DIY a lighted mirror to replace my small vanity mirror. But in the meantime, I’m having some serious vanity envy. I love all things “Paris”, as if you couldn’t guess since […]
