Helena is sharing some personality tests

Personality Tests, Game of Thrones & Weekend Links

May 17, 2019

Happy weekend! There's something about May that I love so much. It's like September - the weather is not too hot, not too cool and everyone seems to be in a great mood. We plan on doing some work on our backyard to get it back into shape from the winter (plant shopping, hosing down the grime, etc). Other than that, just some relaxing and of course, the Game of Thrones Finale! What do you all think of this season so far? I'm a little disappointed, but I'm hoping they somewhat redeem themselves with the finale.

Where to Buy Plants in NYC + NJ

May 15, 2019

As often as possible, I try to share my favorite spots in the NYC area. From my favorite hotels to the best pizza to the most child friendly dining spots. Today, comes a highly requested one: where to buy plants in NYC! However, I also added three NJ locations, one of which my friends swore by. Sometimes, it's worth it to make the trip for a larger variety and most likely, better prices.

An Update: My 19 for 2019

May 13, 2019

Back in January, I made a 19 for 2019 list. Typically, as many of us do, I'll make a list and a few months (or even weeks) down the line, I'll forget about it. This year, I vowed to check in with myself, at least two times, before the year ended.

With that being said, below is reminder of my list and where I stand with it. As soon as I started reading it and realizing just how many things I have yet to do, I started to feel a little guilty. Then I realized, that's not the point of this exercise. If anything, it just serves as a refresher!

Summer Travel Plans (almost) Finalized & More….

May 10, 2019

Happy Friday! We've finally narrowed down our summer travel plans. After a ton of research, so much back and forth and so many helpful tips and suggestions from many of you, we've settled on Lake Como and Tuscany. I know that many of you were telling me "No!!! Choose Puglia over those two," but my heart was telling me otherwise. I've been dreaming of going to Como and Tuscany for years and while I know a beach might seem better for some, we plan to do Southern Italy another time in the near future! The reality is, so many places, so little time...

Third Installment | L’Agence Margot

May 8, 2019

My third and final outfit wearing my beloved L'Agence Margot jeans. Sporting with their leather jacket, my favorite white tee & my Dior slingbacks. I often get questions about these shoes and they're one of my favorite shoe purchases in the last year or two. They're not as comfortable as my Fendi Slingbacks (those are basically like sneakers to me), but they've served me well and make walking in the city, pretty manageable.

What I’m buying from the Sephora Sale & Weekend Links

May 3, 2019

I've been trying hard not to buy too many new beauty products considering I have an entire closet full of things to go through. Luckily, my rule doesn't include replenishments, especially when they're products that have grown to be my favorites.
