Like the nucleus of a cell, the kitchen is the heart of a house. Everything happens in the kitchen and one could even say life itself happens here too. Birthday celebrations, romantic at home dates, and more. In this pandemic, I’ve been spending almost 85% of my time in the kitchen: experimenting with new recipes,…

Just a few minutes with this little gadget and the tension in my face melts away, relieving the clench in my jaw, the…
Read MoreWhile I’m a stickler for taking the time to mask multiple times a week (it’s for mental health, too), sometimes a girl just wants to be straight-up pampered. However, unlike those enviable few who can spend a fortune on every chemical peel and LED facial on the market, I like to time my treatments just…
Read MoreMoving apartments, rearranging furniture, and/or designing from scratch can be a messy experience — literally and figuratively. It is however some of the ways to make home feel like home, especially when having to stare at its walls for what seems like 24/7.

Read MoreI am a homebody. Don’t kill the messenger, but I prefer a night in with a tub (you heard right) of ice cream instead of going out to the club with the girls (sorry ladies, but we can get in formation another time). Truth be told, FOMO is *usually* not a part of my vernacular, and…
Read MoreSelf-care, not just as a hobby but as a lifestyle, is growing fast—and I mean fast. This concept is part of every aspect of our lives now, from work, to food, and of course, beauty.

Read More“A good night’s rest” are four magical words that we all dream of, yet can’t seem to get enough of. During the week, most of us are plagued with to-do list after to-do list that we end up forgetting to put our sleep hygiene first. (Plus, it doesn’t help that we’re constantly tethered to our…
Read MoreFashion Week— a week-long celebration about the sartorial choices that are bestowed upon us by clothes makers, trend forecasters, and editors. For over seven days straight, chaos is welcomed (if not encouraged) through the lens of unchecked emails, mountains of deadlines, and coalitions of photographers, stampeding through the NYC streets. NYC is already known as…
Read MoreWe know the title of this piece is a little factual, and some of you may be shouting at your screen, “but they never went out of fashion!” However, stick with us, we think we’re onto something here. While technology took over for a brief while and continues to do so, (hello Kindle, we see…
