Happy New Year to you all!

2016 has been an interesting year, and not without its challenges. For most of us, we are very excited to celebrate the New Year and find ways to hit restart. A great way to check in and use self-reflection to set the tone for 2017 is to take some time for yourself and start writing. Remind yourself of the good and reflect on the not-so-good of 2016, set big goals, write a letter to yourself from the future, etc.

Let's start 2017 strong! Only you can determine your path, your mood and your future!

It's very easy to forget about sun protection when it's bitterly cold outside. We've all done it, and we've all paid the price. Just like water, snow and ice reflect sun light and it's more important than ever to make sure that you are taking care of your skin and lips.

The good news is that when it's cold outside, we typically have less skin exposed and thus our sun protection routine can be a little easier. Check out the full article and Happy Winter Solstice to you all!

Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting the founder of Lily Lark, Lisa Selwitz, and I can attest to the quality and beauty of these parasols. I was really impressed, and feel honored to carry mine with me, as it truly feels like a piece of art.
