Lately, Upstate: excitement is building for our Clothing Swap & Stitch! Tickets are nearly gone, so snag yours now if you plan to join us. On a personal note, I've been exploring some wonderful wellness practices lately, including acupuncture and incredibly restorative prenatal massage/energy healing sessions with Liza Roeckl. Plus, Erin Ruby's Feng Shui consultation has brought a beautiful sense of harmony to our home. One of the many things I adore about living upstate is the wealth of talented women-owned businesses and the unique expertise they offer. My recent days have been filled with tranquil walks at Onteora Lake, delicious coffee at Kingston Social, scoring treasures at the Eleven Six sample sale, and savoring another fantastic dinner at Silvia's (still a must-try!).
Lately, NYC: lunch at Aman did not disappoint - spent time with representatives from Japan, Bhutan, Morocco, Greece properties and beyond - so many amazing things coming from this group - their newest property in Bangkok is a can’t miss.
