Well, at least for your own shoes. Thus says the sign at the spa where I did the hot/cold plunge regime today (required as per my beauty mentor Naomi Campbell.) I do feel entirely refreshed each time I visit the spa (also incredibly clean as well).  It pretty much always works for me as a mood-clarifier. I...

So somewhere between midnight and Saturday morning, the compact refrigerator in the cottage died, more or less. When I took it out and replaced it today, I saw that it was made in 1988 –– so it has served at least 24 years. There was an interesting moment when I wasn’t quite sure if the mini had room...

I love that saying from Abraham Hicks, “The Better It Gets, the Better it Gets.” And never has this been proven to be more true than in my triumphant lampshade purchase on Saturday night. And of course, I have “Before” and “After” PROOF (plus, are you getting that the &#...

Today was Belle’s birthday and those were my gift suggestions for her –– bacon and cash –– to all her Facebook fans. And indeed, when I had breakfast with Andrea Lake, I bought Belle her own side order of Birthday Bacon. After dropping Andrea off, I had the day unscheduled –– no clients at all –– and...

I don’t know if this counts as “cheating” in the blog world, but I really just feel like starting this by sharing the email newsletter I’ve spent the last hour or so crafting out (there’s new stuff after). This Saturday, I wrote one of my most popular Facebook Posts, one that...

SK(W) and JW(K) returned tonight and we had dinner at Plant and it was as if no one had ever left –– even though massive moves were/are taking place. Earlier Belle got her way and we had a beach trip, although I’ve found myself resisting sending out a big email newsletter that I should really get out...

LLS gave me a cute little notebook before she left –– I have an enormous addiction to blank notebooks –– and I decided to start recording all the instances of “subtle magic” I experience. The phrase originates from the Abraham Cruise and I heard it again this weekend as I listened to the CDs wh...

I almost enjoyed Prometheus –– even though I felt obliged to fast forward through the silliest gory parts and, when I realized that my rental window was rapidly closing, skimmed through the boring parts –– but honestly, it makes no sense. Years ago, I had dinner and hung out briefly...
