in my wardrobe. I really cannot think of anything…I have a
bunch of outfit making tops and I have all the decorated jeans
(tuxedo stripe, rough hem, etc). Both of these will go
strong for the Spring season. However, I would love
a couple of pairs of statement earrings to bring my clothes
to the next level. Here are some of my favorites!! Happy

Today’s Book Club Monday choice is Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney. This book has been getting so much positive feedback. It is one of Vogue’s best books of 2017. Here is the story:
Frances is a cool-headed and darkly observant young woman, vaguely pursuing a career in writing while studying in Dublin. Her best friend and comrade-in-arms is the beautiful and endlessly self-possessed Bobbi. At a local poetry performance one night, Frances and Bobbi catch the eye of Melissa, a well-known photographer, and as the girls are then gradually drawn into Melissa’s world, Frances is reluctantly impressed by the older woman’s sophisticated home and tall, handsome husband, Nick. However amusing and ironic Frances and Nick’s flirtation seems at first, it gives way to a strange intimacy, and Frances’s friendship with Bobbi begins to fracture. As Frances tries to keep her life in check, her relationships increasingly resist her control: with Nick, with her difficult and unhappy father, and finally, terribly, with Bobbi.
Desperate to reconcile her inner life to the desires and vulnerabilities of her body, Frances’s intellectual certainties begin to yield to something new: a painful and disorienting way of living from moment to moment. Written with gem-like precision and marked by a sly sense of humor, Conversations with Friends is wonderfully alive to the pleasures and dangers of youth, and the messy edges of female friendship. – Amazon.com

I finally tried the Boozy Bruch at Beauty and Essex. I have been reading about it for a while. I have sent people there but never tried it myself. And I was soooooooo impressed. The food was great, the champagne flowing AND THEN the upstairs turned into a disco. Everyone finished eating and went upstairs. Beauty and Essex is the uber cool restaurant that you enter through a pawn shop on the lower east side. The scene is totally cool with bouncers, and glamour and dramatic lighting!!! I highly recommend it. Bon Weekend!!!!

About a year ago I started using a face oil at night. I was very hesitant. I thought it would make me break out and I really didn’t need that!!!!! However, it was the best things I have ever done for my skin. Oils are much better for your skin than night and day creams. They hold in moisture, and contain “superhero” nutrients, like essential acids. The result will be healthier, younger looking skin with a fresh glow, without the use of harsh chemicals. Also with a face oil, a little goes a long way and with just a couple of drops, you will see results almost immediately!!!!! Here are some of my favorites!!!
Here is the one Gwyneth LOVES, I used it for a while but I think it is too thick for me. Better for dryer skin!!! Click To Buy.
