Visiting the Palace of Versailles is like stepping into a world of French Royalty. Inside, the Hall of Mirrors takes your breath away, its immense size and sparkling reflections offering a glimpse into the extravagant life of the court. Every corner of Versailles tells a story of history, power, and luxury, truly magical. 🫶🏼

#AD Between my work, scheduling appointments, and activities for my kids, I know I’m keeping my eyes busy. These days, even working on my computer or watching TV can sometimes feel difficult. There’s no question that my lifestyle, including the time I spend on screens, may be playing a role in my journey with dry eye, an increasingly common condition that impacts approximately 150 million U.S. adults.

A new survey conducted by the eye care experts at @BauschLomb found that dry eye can be challenging to manage and may impact daily activities like working, driving, reading, watching TV, and spending time on electronic devices. In fact, 12% of dry eye sufferers indicated that they think about their eyes 10 times a day or more! The same survey found that a majority of people might not even realize eye symptoms may be associated with eye dryness.

People experiencing symptoms of dry eye—tiredness, itching, watering, redness, fluctuating vision, and a scratchy, gritty, tired or heavy feeling—should visit an eye doctor, as dry eye may get worse over time and possibly lead to dry eye disease. An eye doctor can provide appropriate relief options, which may include over-the-counter eye drops, prescription medications and/or nutritional supplements.

Bausch + Lomb’s “Know Your Dry Eye” website has been a helpful educational resource, and I’ve been sharing it with my friends and loved ones to make sure they know the facts and take any necessary steps to help keep their eyes healthy.

Learn more about the causes and symptoms of dry eye and how you can take action at KnowYourDryEye.com.

1. recovering 5 million pounds of plastic in the next 3 years
2. achieving a carbon net zero by 2039
3. Assembling an all women board of experts.

We also had the most epic master class, tried a few new colors that will launch in their holiday gifts sets and left feeling beyond inspired and cannot thank @saiebeauty enough!!! 💄🫶🏼🌎

I’m taking charge of my health and just went to @nyphospital for my first heart health appointment with Dr. Julie Lynn Marcus. With a history of heart disease in my family, I want to ensure I am staying on top of my checkups and health. I’ve been a patient at NewYork-Presbyterian for what feels like forever and know I am in the best hands. They have become an excellent resource for my family and I on all things health related. Overall, my heart health is good for now, but Dr. Marcus is being extra thorough given my family history and I will be taking a few more tests over the next month. Stayed tuned for more, and in the meantime head over to NewYork-Presbyterian at the link in my bio for all of their exceptional resources and services!

We recently finished our basement out east and now have a proper bedroom for guests. The final touch to the room were shades for the new window we installed. We decided to go with @selectblinds roman shades because they are incredibly easy to install. I went for the Coastal Roman Shades in Textured Ivory because it went perfectly with our beach vibe. With hundreds of options to choose from for color, fabric and style options, you can transform your space with little effort. Get your new blinds today at the link in my bio.

Cheers to Friday✨ It’s date night and there’s no better way to spend time together and catch up than over our favorite bites and sips. Jason and I decided to do something fun this date night and make our own cocktail recipe out of our favorite @inverroche gin. Inverroche Amber Gin is a true gem that shines with a golden hue, and we decided to make the Amber G+T from their website and put our own little spin on it. Whether you’re enjoying an Amber Delight or a classic Gin & Tonic, this luxury spirit can turn any occasion into a celebration. Take the opportunity to savor the depth, aroma, and sustainable craftsmanship of Inverroche Amber, which is perfect for pairing with a charcuterie board from @Boardie featuring your favorite cheeses and meats. Check out more cocktail recipes by following @inverroche. 🍸

Last week I attended @Nioxin’s Hair Gym event, for their new Hair Fall Defense Shampoo and let me just say I am obsessed. This shampoo is exactly what I’ve been looking for and I cannot wait to get my hair into the best shape possible! It’s great for removing buildup and is proven to grow stronger hair with visibly less fallout in 12 weeks. This game changing product has a powerful blend of Sandalore, Lyric Acid, Caffeine and Niacinamide to keep your scalp and hair looking and feeling it’s best and decrease that hair fallout a lot of us might experience. Less loss and more gains in your day! It’s available at Ulta and on Amazon!

So while my kids get back to school ready with new supplies, sneakers, clothes etc, this is my BTS ready with a visit to @drmarnienussbaum for a little tox! I headed uptown last week for a little re-fresh before the craze of fall appointments and activities start! I love that Dr. Marnie has you come back two weeks after your initial appointment just to make sure everything is perfect. For the past week, I’ve been trying out her new skincare line called Lines, and just loving it. Adore you Dr. Marnie, and see you in two weeks!

With fall here, I’m taking a look at my wardrobe and seeing what needs to be replaced for the transitional season. One thing I like to invest in is a great pair of jeans. 👖 Last week I popped into @tbahama to see their new Indigo Palms collection. The collection is a nod to their heritage, with small details like contrast stitching and palm print lined pockets. Available for women and men, they have the ideal fit for everyone. You can dress them up or down and they go with everything and let me just say they are super soft. Head over to Tommy Bahama in store or online to see their entire Indigo Palms Collection 🌴💙
