- Early morning flight to Charleston for my friend's wedding. A red lip can really wake up your look when you don't have time to get completely ready. I love Grace, a new shade from Jouer—it feels like a moisturizing balm, but the pay off is bold!
- Once in NC, I stopped by Target (yay for suburban life!) and this is my haul. Not necessarily "needs" but so excited for my fun finds! Porcupine cards!?!
- I had to document that my hair, styled by Jeff Chastain, looked the same 30 hours later!
- M.A.C. makeup artists get us all ready for the big ceremony.
- Perfect dinner—setting and meal!
- Oscar Blandi's texture spray revives the volume at the roots after a long day. I am headed to meeting straight from my flight so taking the minute for a quick boost.
- Grabbed coffee and these amazing muffins at Sarabeth’s!
- I am rarely seated at my desk and sometimes I come back to find some new products. This Kiehl's cleanser is one of my favorite finds!
- I have a stash of products under my desk. These are the newest products I need to try or give away for others to report back on.
- Yogurt creations from Chobani are officially my favorite breakfast!
- Arrived before Birchbox Local opened and made time for a quick makeup application from Jouer.
- Then hair by Shu Uemura.
- Erica from PS I Made This sent us a copy of her new book—it looks beautiful! I am slightly nervous about actually DIYing.
- For anyone who has used a Beauty Blender, you would know how exciting it was to see a giant box of them as we set up for our customer event!

- These little faces are nail appliques!
- On set shooting our October Sneak Peek video!
- So excited for Birchbox Local to open to the public! Adorable sign hanging in Chelsea market.
- Inside BB Local. Try, learn, buy!
- Before it's all over, had to stop for some tacos. This new place in Chelsea Market is always packed but it was definitely worth waiting!
- Just discovered this newer color of Debborah Lippman—Cleopatra in New York. Couldn't resist picking it up (and planning on adding it to our site ASAP)!
- Landed to rainy Paris and the best scrambled eggs I have ever had.
