A Weekend Retreat: Gurneys Newport, Rhode Island

A Weekend Retreat: Gurneys Newport, Rhode Island

The more I visit Newport, Rhode Island, the more I fall in love with the coastal city. The past three summers, I've found myself there for family vacations, weddings and bachelorette parties and always stayed at the same hotel on Goat Island, the Hyatt. It's the only hotel on the tiny island, has a pool and is walking distance to downtown.  The location alone is worth it's price tag.  However, this year Gurneys (yes, Hampton's icon) took over and gave it a $18 million dollar makeover.  The results were jaw dropping.

Whether it's a sultry red, rosé inspired pink or a seasonal neutral, we're sharing our favorite natural lipstick brands in honor of National Lipstick Day on July 29th.  Believe it or not, throughout your lifetime, you'll unintentionally consume about seven pounds of lipstick through regular use. Enough of a reason to give these a try.

Must Have: Tréstique

Must Have: Tréstique

I love discovering new, indie beauty brands that really cut through the clutter.  As a beauty writer for the past ten years, I'm hard to impress, but when I see something different, I have to get my hands on it.  I first discovered Tréstique at the Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) product demonstration last month.  It was one of the few highlighted indie beauty brands that I stopped to learn about.  Now, I have their sticks and crayons in all of my bags.

My Favorite Summer Travel Beauty Buys As Seen on NBC

Last Friday I had the pleasure of sharing my summer travel must haves on NBC's New York Live TV.  It's always so much fun to work with Jacque Reid and Joelle Garguilo. I've been a beauty contributor to the show now for over seven years, so it's fun, comfortable and the NY Live team feels like family.  These are the items I've been toting around to Key West and the Jersey Shore this summer.  The hair sheets smell as good as we say!  Click here to watch.

Lynne Florio & Renee Tavoularis, Co-Founders of Well Within Beauty

When I first learned about WELL WITHIN skincare, I was impressed, simply because it was so clean.  Then, I had the pleasure of meeting Co-founders, Lynne Florio and Renee Tavoularis, and fell in love with their mission.  As beauty industry veterans (they both worked for La Prairie for over 20 years), their wellness journeys lead them to take a leap of faith and run with a vision.  As an entrepreneur myself, I understand what it takes to bring a passion to life. Here, Lynne (LF) and Renee (RT) talk about starting the company, the best advice they've ever gotten and their definitions of beauty.

I recently had the opportunity to hear spiritual teacher, Marianne Williamson speak at the Marble Collegiate Church in NYC and have to tell you, it was the most powerful lecture I've ever heard.  As a follower and fan of hers (her book A Return to Love changed my life) I couldn't wait to see her live.   Her teachings inspire many in hopes that those listening will begin to make a shift in order to create a ripple effect in the world.  Here's the scoop.  It's important.
