It might be “2020 with bangs” but that doesn’t mean we can’t improve our cooking, WFH and cleaning experiences   Remember when we were all like “2021 will be our year”? LOL. We’re only halfway through January and while the pandemic raging on and recent violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol makes it feel like the world […]

For an instant mood-booster, slip into something a little more glam While you’re likely très familiar with the little black dress (LBD), it probably doesn’t feel like that these days. Like most of the world, you’ve probably traded in your statement dresses and Insta-worthy lewks for sweatsuits and PJs. Look: It is what it is. […]
