    Beauty Sleep

    Sleep schedules have been the hot topic lately, and the first reaction I usually get is shock when I tell people that I’m up at 4AM every day. Yes, 4AM! Everyone assumes that I don’t get much sleep but it’s quite the opposite, I average 7 hours of sleep every night. It wasn’t always like this, though! It was an active decision and very slow progression to change my sleeping habits but I found that I’m so much more productive earlier in the day, and decided to make an effort towards it.

    Over the past year, we gradually went to bed earlier and got up earlier until I found a schedule that worked for us! Regardless if you’re up at 4AM or 9AM, every day, getting a good night’s sleep is good for everyone 🙂 so I wanted to share a few of my favorite products that I’ve turned to when herbal teas don’t quite do the trick!


    Casper | $550+
    What you’re sleeping on is probably the most important part of getting a good night’s sleep! Read more about our Casper mattress in my post here!


    SHHH Silk | $45.00
    Even when it’s pitch black, the sensation of wearing eye masks is really comforting. I especially love the feeling of silk eye masks like these ones by SHHH Silk!

    How to Care for Crystal with GEARYS

    I’m so excited to finally share this video with you all! We had such a fun time working with GEARYS to style our bar cart and we also learned so much along the way, like how to care for fine crystal. Cara Kleinhaut from AGENC was gracious enough to bring her go-to products and shared her tips with me!

    Follow along below for the simple steps!

    1. Remove your rings to avoid scratches!

    Use a mild dish soap and the soft side of a clean damp sponge. (Cara swears by The Mill River Company’s Restaurant Crystal Clean)

    Gently wipe the crystal glasses, while holding firmly to the base.

    Remember to take care not to use the scouring side of the sponge!

    Carefully rinse your glass!

    It can be slippery!

    Dry off your crystal with microfiber cloths.

    That’s it! Easy peasy!

    Now admire your sparkly crystal! 😉

    Hello Tokyo with Shiseido

    I’m thrilled to partner with Shiseido to tell you about the super kawaii 6-Piece Skincare Bonus that they are offering with purchases of $75 or more now through 8/27! My first task was to decide which items I want to get to meet the $75 purchase needed to receive the bonus. Obviously, this didn’t take long at all because I’ve been dying to try their Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Pure Retinol Express Smoothing Eye Masks and Benefiance Full Correction Lip Treatment nourishing lip balm formulated with marine collagen, to give my eyes and lips some much needed TLC! I’ve heard that you could see a difference immediately with the 15-minute eye mask – um, yes please! 🙂

    The 6-piece set of your choice comes with an adorable limited edition Hello Tokyo tote that’s available exclusively online. I choose the Benefiance set from the same range as the eye masks and lip treatment I’m trying, which is formulated to fight fine lines and am so excited to get to try the full collection! I already have a feeling I’ll be returning for a full-sized Eye Contour Cream to target those dreaded lines appearing under my eyes.

    Shiseido’s innovative Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate and Bio-Performance LiftDynamic Serum are also included in every bonus set! I’ve heard so many great things about Ultimune. It’s a pre-treatment boost that is said to increase our skins natural defense ability and intensifies any serums and moisturizers you apply on top of it! It’s also formulated with Bulgarian Rose Water and Gingko Biloba Leaf Extract to protect skin against impurities and signs of aging. The Bio-Performance serum lifts and replenishes skin. It contains a Bio-Renewal Complex which helps restore elasticity and moisture for a plump, resilient, and radiant look!

    By the way, there’s already free shipping on orders over $25, too! Yay!!

    Special thanks to Shiseido for sponsoring this post.

    Update: Shiseido has added an extra bonus! Purchase $99 or more and receive a deluxe sample of Rouge Rouge RD501 in addition to the skincare bonus set and the Hello Tokyo tote!

    Casual - Everyday Style What To Wear

    Hints of Blush

    Love Scarlett Mini Pleated Cold Shoulder Top | Public Desire Effy Frayed Hem Barely There Sandals in Grey Denim

    Photos by Chris Dyer.

    I’ve clearly been drawn to white this season, it’s been my wardrobe and home decor theme. I love how clean and bright it feels but at the same time, my unwavering love for color prevails and I need hints of color here and there. Since this top is so flowy and whimsical, I carried my new blush pink bag to warm up the look and brought in more pink tones by wearing rose gold jewelry.

    Are you into subtle hints of color or are you feeling more bold this season?

    His & Hers Bar Cart with GEARYS

    *

    Living, working, and entertaining within the same space, we knew that when we moved, we would want a stylish bar cart to make transitioning from one area of our apartment to another effortless. Although Chris and I both enjoy drinking socially, we actually don’t really like the same beverages; he’s very much the Scotch and rye whiskey fan, while I prefer vodka or wine. So, who better to enlist for help than the incredible team at GEARYS!? We reached out to them to partner with us and create the ultimate his & hers bar cart and we’re so thrilled to share the details with you!

    Since we enjoy different spirits, we decided on three different decanters for each Scotch, Rye Whiskey and Vodka. I learned that square decanters are traditionally for whiskeys while round styles are reserved for other distilled liquor like gin or vodka!

    *

    Chris and his friends enjoy their whiskey neat or on the rocks so we decided on Baccarat’s Everyday Tumblers. This set is so perfect for entertaining because each glass has its own unique design making it easier for guests to tell their drinks apart!

    *

    I love having my girls over to for rosé all day 😉 so naturally I was smitten with the Baccarat Mille Nuits collection! The diamond shaped details and beveled stems are just stunning!

    *

    We also selected a few outdoor pieces like the Palla Transparente Clear Pitcher and Whiskey High Ball glasses by Mario Luca, for entertaining on our balcony. Though, the pitcher ended up doubling as a cute bubbly vase!

    What is your favorite piece of barware? Although I love unique glasses, there’s something so special about crystal decanters that always captures my attention!

    Voilà! Our beautiful new bar cart!
