It’s been a while since I’ve checked in. I had an amazing trip to Italy but it’s good to be back home without any major travel plans for a while. I’m working on the travel guides from our last trip and you’ll see them here on the blog over the next couple of weeks. I can’t believe we’re almost halfway through October already.

MUSINGS

Fashion has beat out King Tut at the Met. Can you guess which exhibit brought in 1.6 million visitors? This makes it the most-visited exhibition in the museum’s history.

Wonder how much money it takes to make the Forbes 400 list for 2018? $2.1 billion. Lysni Snyder, the owner of In-N-Out, joined the list this year at age 36 making her the youngest woman ever to be on it.

Struggling with dry skin and need to spruce up your home? According to a study by the Royal Horticultural Society, you should buy a plant. Certain types have been shown to increase the moisture in the air, which in turn can alleviate your symptoms of dry skin. It’s a win-win.

I recently read about one woman’s decision to have a double mastectomy at age 31. It was a very emotional read but a timely one during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This article also reminded me that self-care goes beyond face masks and meditation. Make sure to keep up with your regularly scheduled preventative screenings and perform self-breast exams at home.

Books aren’t just for reading. A large-scale study has shown that the more books in your home growing up translates to higher reading, math, and technological skills later in life.

RECOMMENDATIONS

At Anthropology select dresses and shoes are under $98 and select jewelry items can be found under $48 or $28.

At Ralph Lauren, you can take 30% off with code FAMILY. There are so many amazing pieces for fall that will definitely stand the test of time.

SPOTLIGHT

You have your mind made up and you put yourself out there for a promotion. What happens when you don’t get it? It can seem like an awkward situation but it doesn’t have to be. Some solid advice in this article.

Smoothies are a great way to get nutrients in on the go. Here’s a list of smoothie recipes created by a nutritionist with some seasonal flavors recreated like caramel apple pie and pumpkin pie.

I can’t tell you how excited I am to shop the Atlantic-Pacific x Halogen collection. Is it October 22 yet?

Anything catch your attention lately? Let me know in the comments. Here’s to a great weekend!
