Infrared saunas & floats at Pure Sweat and Float Studio right in Georgetown. I’m obsessed and do a sauna session 2x a week! So many benefits – I love to meditate during my 45 minute sessions.

Buccal facials at Take Care in Georgetown. Ok, this one might seem a little strange, but the difference in my skin is WOW! I go to Erin and highly recommend her!

More skincare because I’m 51 and all about taking care of my skin! The Clarin Cryo-Flash Face Mask is fabulous. I use it 1-2x a week and am loving the results!

I’m a skin cancer survivor and SPF is part of my everyday life. The Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel is excellent. Lightweight and easy to wear under makeup.

Clare V. is quickly becoming my go-to place to buy bags…I’m obsessed! I recently bought this one on sale and it was the perfect travel bag for Dublin.

Tost! I gave up alcohol a few years ago (except for a whiskey sour about 2x a year) and Tost Rose is my new favorite drink when I want to celebrate! It’s delicious and so very festive!

I’m not a heels girl! My feet just aren’t comfortable in most wedges and heels, but these Boden wedge espadrilles are soooo comfortable! I even wore them shopping in Georgetown recently!

I know you’ve seen this travel set before, but let me tell you it’s worth the hype! I took a lot of LONG flights in June and this was my go-to! You can buy the Frank & Eileen one or you can save a boatload of money and grab it on Amazon! I wear it with sneakers and do a little tuck in the front.

I’m sure you’ve heard me talk about Harney & Sons teas – I love the Earl Grey and the Paris, but I have discovered they have an iced tea! And all I can say is YUM!

Photographers – you NEED this tripod for your phone! It’s so easy to set-up and it’s compact for taking to sessions.
