City Savvy: Moving in New York City

Is there anything more stressful than moving? Since I graduated from college, I’ve moved six times. That’s right, SIX!

My Daily Makeup Routine

One of the things I have mastered in my morning routine is my daily makeup. I can do my whole face in under 15 minutes because I have this down TO A SCIENCE.
