Did anyone catch the lunar eclipse this morning? Â If you did -Â I’m so jealous.
According to Hindu lore, pregnant women aren’t allowed to view the eclipse. Â Or cut/bite their nails during the eclipse. Â Or leave my bed during the eclipse. While I ascribe to the “be a good person and don’t hurt people” philosophy, I did as my mother requested.
Basically, I was bed-ridden until 8:22 a.m this morning. Â On the bright side – it meant getting breakfast in bed. Win!
I spent the beginning of this week at home in PA visiting my dad, who just returned from India. Â The rest of the week is a busy mish-mash of meals with friends, meetings, and previews. Â I’m particularly looking forward to a lazy Saturday, with the sole plans of diving into a new book and tackling the clutter in the office-soon-to-be-nursery.
It’s going to be a good one, you guys.
- This interview may be as close as I get to featuring Anthony Bourdain on En Route With (and a h/t to Felicia for sharing the link with me).
- Nicolette’s collection for Modcloth launched this week.  It’s beautifully designed and styled, and most importantly fits every size.  I purchased this sweatshirt and have my eye on this cotton candy pink trench.  Also, snag 15% off everything with the code YAY15.  Brava, N!
- Grab a box of tissues – this woman’s story on choosing when to die will make you cry. Â A lot.
- Solid entrepreneurial advice from a surprising source – Blake Lively.
- While I’m no beauty junkie, I did splurge for Glossier’s Phase 1 set, completely captivated by the pre-launch snippets on Instagram. Â The seemingly effortless updates turns out to be a carefully planned program, architected by ITG & Glossier founder Emily Weiss. Â I’m happy to report that the products are as fantastic as their marketing strategy.
- #HGQ03 update time!  The theme for my third box is “Pack Your Clothing Perfectly.”  Much like the second box, the five items in this box are meant to be used both at home and on the go.  We’re kicking things up a notch with our Golden Ticket program – if you sign up by THIS Friday (October 10th), you’ll be eligible to win this Hudson+Bleecker garment bag.  Existing and new subscribers who sign up by next Friday (October 17th) will be eligible to win a black Encircled Chrysalis cardigan.  We have some additional prizes up our sleeves for the two weeks after, too :)  I’m working diligently to make sure each box is better than the last, and I truly appreciate all your support!
Hope you’re having a great week!
