There’s a Dragon in my Tea!

I love this packaging! I have been guilty of buying products just for the packaging (anyone care for any mint jelly foot cream?), but this time, I am very familiar with the item. Mariage Frères, one of my favorite French tea companies has released this beautiful tin of aromatic green tea accented with a hint…

Do you hear what I hear?

When I’m walking the streets of New York or riding our lovely subway system, I am always floored by how many people are on their gadgets. Iphones, kindles, nooks, ipads etc. I understand, commuting is a bore. But what stood out to me even more is what many of them were wearing on their heads…

Looking for Joe?

Gone are the days of the paper “We are happy to serve you” greek coffee cups of NYC. You can definitely still find them in scattered bodegas around town, but they are definitely and sadly, going extinct. I love my occasional cup of Joe and luckily I’m finding that it’s easier and lovelier getting my…

Not a glass slipper

Align your Chi with Free Acupuncture!

When I do Feng Shui consultations for clients, I remind them that we are not just moving furniture (sometimes after a 3 hour consultation we haven’t moved anything at all!), but we’re changing the energy of their space and in turn, their body as one’s space and body are intrinsically connected. At the end of…

Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t a bear?

Get out! It’s at your local Container Store! Who wouldn’t love this fun cleaning accessory? Cleaning doesn’t have to be a chore anymore but a way to get your chi pick-me-up every morning. And not to mention that your smartphone and keyboard will remain crumb free. I love it.

Outdoor Space Cravings

While the weather in New York has been a wild roller coaster ride, my balcony has been able to reasonably withstand Mother Nature’s unpredictability. And now I’m rearing up to clean it up – put in teak flooring, replace broken planters, add a bistro table and then…I’ll sit down to relax in my outdoor urban…
