Attitude of Gratitude
Happy Thanksgiving, dear friends! With 2015 rapidly winding down, it’s a perfect time to reflect on just how much we have to be thankful for. Here is one of my very favorite Ted Talks about the power of gratitude; it’s honestly amazing.
Birthday Suit
I am 33 years old today. And I am happy. And I say that so plainly because, well…it takes time. To be happy. To figure out how to be kind to yourself. To not just choose that happiness, but to feel it.

This is what happened when I was set to get glam for The Critics Association panel for Suits, and in walked Kayleen McAdams – celebrity makeup artist to the stars, and coveted by the likes of Sofia Vergara and Jessica Biel – that Kayleen McAdams.
Insider’s Guide to Kyoto
Meet Vicky Tsai. Owner of TATCHA skincare (my go-to for glowing skin), and a woman with such insider knowledge of Kyoto, that it’s geisha approved. No, but really. It’s actually geisha approved.
