On My Nightstand

It’s funny how sometimes, there’s nothing I’d rather do than dive into an engrossing novel to unwind…and other times (like this month), I’m totally in the mood for nonfiction works that enrich my body, mind and spirit.

Chanel and I were recently discussing how we once thought we’d never wear polka dots, and now they seem to be, quite… read more

Happy Easter weekend, darlings… does it feel like spring where all of you are?

Speaking of treats, I was so… read more
