[bigletter]Kylieclause went to town with her holiday collection this year. If you’re still Christmas shopping, scoping out a stocking stuffer or holiday gift for the makeup lovers in your circle of friends or in your family, definitely stop by Macy’s for the Kylie Cosmetics Holiday Collection.[/bigletter]

[bigletter]Right now is not the time to be hard on yourself for all the things you can not do, or all the things you have not done. Right now is the time for you to cherish the moment and nothing further…[/bigletter]

[bigletter]A face with clear skin wasn’t my normal state for quite some time. For me, my skin is what lets me know if I’m stressed or not. I’m not someone who recognizes when I am severely under pressure, but my skin makes sure I know it.[/bigletter]

[bigletter]This idea is perfect for when you’re having friends over for afternoon tea, a party or a sleepover. If you’ve prepared brownies using my chewy brownie recipe, you’ve already done about 60 percent of the work.[/bigletter]

[bigletter]Tis the summer to eat at the park while gathered – yet socially distanced (go 2020!) – with friends and loved ones. But if you’re like me, you get to watch them eating a delicious freshly sliced loaf of bread stuffed with European meats and cheeses and sauces…[/bigletter]

[bigletter]Since I can be in up to three different cities in one week, I always incline towards purchasing everything travel size to ensure that I can carry it with me throughout the year and don’t have to leave it every time I hit the road or hop on a plane.[/bigletter]

[bigletter]Miamians famously say, “We live where you vacation,” but rarely do Miamians vacation where they live. We spend so much time wrapped up in our day-to-day lives that we don’t do the very thing that millions of people travel here to do: visit Miami Beach.[/bigletter]

[bigletter]I’ve always been the biggest chicken #nopunintended, when it comes to trying out vegan or vegetarian dishes. It’s hard for me, because I have lived my whole life eating Colombian and Italian meals at home, so it’s hard out here for someone with my nutritional patterns.[/bigletter]

[bigletter]For skin, hair and all-around wellness, you should look no further than Mother Nature. After a few weeks of research and some spa visits in Miami I learned something I had never heard about; seaweed has amazing properties for skin nourishment.[/bigletter]

[bigletter]Some might see our current social climate solely as a global crisis, but I see opportunity as well. This is a key moment for the movers and the shakers to reflect, work hard, and center themselves again…[/bigletter]

[bigletter]When I’m doing keto, I begin to really miss the little things, such as a good piece of chocolatey goodness. A few ounces of dark chocolate will do, and so will a spoonful of peanut butter on most days, but if I’m looking for something extra chocolatey, this is one of my go-to recipes.[/bigletter]

[bigletter]I can confidently stand by the thought that applying for jobs and internships is tedious and rough and a black hole of anxiety and uncertainty because there isn’t exactly one right way to do it. We don’t really learn the valuable subject of ‘job application’ in school where we can acquire the skills necessary to put together a resume and a cover letter that we ABSOLUTELY know will look great and that will include everything we hope will get us hired.[/bigletter]

[bigletter]Manchester was always at the top of my list of cities to visit in England. My friend Kathy and I had been planning on going since May, so we thought the Christmas break would be the perfect opportunity to do so.[/bigletter]

[bigletter]One of the big cons of traveling by air is that our skin takes a massive hit. I recently learned that the inside of a plane is drier than the Sahara Desert, as the humidity level inside the aircraft is 10-15% while in the Sahara it’s about 25-30%. Imagine that![/bigletter]

[bigletter]I took a trip to Italy to do research for an Indulge article on the southwestern coast. My goal was to discover and write about the plethora of insider details and activities that there are to do within the region. Being that I am half-Italian, my family, who is from Napoli, still lives there and they are within the South for the most part.[/bigletter]

[bigletter]The following letter, I wrote a few months ago on a train, while on my way to the French Alps, where I would be spending New Years Eve with my childhood best friend. We rented out a chalet and we would welcome 2019 in Saint Gervais-Les-Bans.[/bigletter]

[bigletter]The more I travel the wiser I get. I learn about the places I visit, the people, the food…but I also learn so much about myself. I’m a really self-aware person, and I like to really look at what makes me happy when I travel, what makes me feel comfortable, and what makes my life easier.[/bigletter]

[bigletter]Happy New Year! Last night was a blast. We spent it at a bar, where we got hit on by some teenagers, and they took us dancing to the local nightclub – random and quite the plot twist, given the fact that Saint Gervais has been surprisingly quiet.[/bigletter]

[bigletter]Being Italian, I had been to Italy many times before, but I’d never visited nor had I toured the city during Christmas time. It’s definitely a trip worth taking, not only because of Vatican City but the way the city is decorated and embellished with lights and beautiful Christmas-themed decor.[/bigletter]
