This vlog is a full week in my life here in New York: a Monday house reset, PR unboxings, a haircut and color appointment, book club, my honest reviews of every book I have read in 2026, and a night out at a Mave & Chez event. If you want the day-by-day play, press play above. But if you are here for the goods, here is the full roundup of everything I mentioned, all in one place.

Beauty & skincare
Pixi LiquidGlow blush — such a pretty, glowy everyday blush. This one went straight into my routine.
Drunk Elephant Littles 8.0 set — a fun way to try the line if you have been curious. A little of everything in one box.
From Friday’s unboxings
Pixi Skintreats — the SuperBerry Cleansing Whip, AntioxifEYE eye masks and roll-on serum, and the Antioxidant Tonic. A full little skincare wardrobe.
Lavanila hair + body mists — in Vanilla Lavender and Vanilla Grapefruit. The kind of thing you throw in your bag and use all day.
ESW Beauty — the Papaya Milk Glow Serum and Peach Nectar Sorbet Moisturizer.
Topicals Faded Brightening Bundle — for discoloration, face and body.
Mario Badescu — the pore strips, Botanical Exfoliating Scrub, Super Peptide Serum, Peptide Renewal Serum, and the Clarifying Serum with azelaic acid.
Rudd Skincare 5% Vita C + Ceramides — a vitamin C serum made for sensitive skin.
Jewelry & shoes
Susana Vega Bloom earrings — such a pretty everyday pair. Delicate but they still make an outfit.
Hari Mari Meadows braided platform sandals in cashmere — comfortable with a little lift. I can already tell these will get a lot of wear while the weather is still warm.
Mave & Chez Maya backless mule — from the brand behind Thursday night’s event. Sleek and easy.
Sips
Napa Cellars trio: Pinot Noir 2023, Meritage 2019, Sauvignon Blanc 2025 — three wines to try, one for every mood. The Sauvignon Blanc is my warm-weather pick.
Books
My Thursday segment was a full review of every book I have read so far in 2026. The standouts:
The Last Devil to Die and The Impossible Fortune by Richard Osman — clever mysteries with characters I genuinely care about.
People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry — a romance you can finish over a weekend.
The Correspondent by Virginia Evans — storytelling that stuck with me.
You can find everything I’ve read so far this year on my ShopMy reading board.
Places
Rob Peetoom, Williamsburg — my haircut and color spot. There is nothing like that fresh hair feeling, and they always get the tone exactly right.
le gaz and the Swan Room — two coffee stops I always enjoy in the neighborhood.
That is everything from the week. If you pick up any of it, tell me in the comments, nothing makes me happier.
