Happy Friday! This past week was a much quieter one now that fashion week is over. It’s nice to have downtime every once in a while to breathe, decompress, reenergize, and relax. It was more about self-care than anything else.
“That’s the most beautiful thing in the world: when two people become fluent in choosing one another.”

Happy Friday and Happy Valentine’s Day! Love is in the air and the town is decorated in pink and red hearts. Personally, I love Valentine’s Day; attached or not, I always have. It’s a day to celebrate the love we have for one another. It doesn’t have to be about a significant other, it can include the love we have for our friends, family, and ourselves. It makes me happy to see my friends in love, even strangers who are in love. It makes me happy to give and show love to people. I also enjoy a good RomCom story and I have always been a romantic. For me, it’s a happy holiday.

Happy Friday! New York Fashion Week has officially begun! It doesn’t feel like it is NYFW. Winter fashion week is much more relaxed than the one in September. Still, even after getting invites and already attending a preview and a presentation, it doesn’t feel like it’s fashion week. Maybe it is because I went into it knowing I didn’t want to attend as many shows as I normally would. It may also be because I didn’t do my normal preparation for the week– nails and hair done, planning/buying outfits. Although it does not feel like its NYFW, I am still excited for the shows I am going to!
We know it is important to set a routine both morning and night. There are many articles written that talk about the benefits of a routine and how it sets you up for a successful day and winds you down for a peaceful sleep. I am still working on my morning routine– I am guilty of hitting snooze and grabbing my phone first thing in the morning. My nighttime routine, however, is religious. I take the necessary steps to wind down before drifting off to sleep. I have never been one that can instantly fall asleep upon my head hitting the pillow. I envy those of you who can. I need to take certain steps to calm my mind and my body. Here is my 9 step nighttime routine.
