There are two luxury lingerie brands I've checked out many years ago - La Perla and Agent Provocateur. And by checked out, I mean I have gone into the store, gently caressed the pretty frilly things hanging on the fancy hangers and delicately displayed on the the tables, timidly flipped the price tag trying to … Continue reading NY Shopping Outlets – Agent Provocateur
I used to fold my plastic grocery bags into tight little packages that allowed me to store many in a very small space, but that recently changed when I came across this hack that is much more functional. Plus I don't really need a ton of grocery bags stored because I only use them as … Continue reading Household Hack – Plastic Bag Storage & Dispenser
'The Finest Luxury Linens' is this brand's tag line. I have been on the hunt for a luxurious bath mat for about a year.

First thing I did was do all my loads of laundry and make sure all clothing was in my bedroom (aside from my jackets in the entry closet). I put on a collared button down knit dress and even accessorized with jewelry as KonMari mentions "dressing up" for the occasion of sending off your items. … Continue reading Minimalism: Preparing to Sort

While I don't consider myself an artist, I wanted to force myself to be creative, so I decided to participate in the Brooklyn Art Library's Sketchbook Project.
