If you've never been to the Showcase SuperLux in Chestnut Hill it's huge! And gorgeous. Upon arrival we like to head up the escalators and grab a drink at the SuperLux Lounge where they serve up hand-crafted signature cocktails at their full bar in a chic space. Order apps or if art is your thing, this Showcase Cinema location is the only location to feature custom artwork from local artists, I recently attended the opening of Showcase SuperLux' gallery exhibit featuring one-of-a-kind portraits of iconic Hollywood movie stars called "Surreal Hollywood" from artist Lia Burke. You can get a peek at these absolutely stunning works in and around the lounge area.

When you're ready to take your seats and settle in and watch the movie it's the ultimate experience in comfort and convenience; these theaters feature heated, reclining seats with adjustable headrests, cozy blankets to snuggle up with your sweetie (or hide behind during horror flicks), and rotating tray tables with in-seat dining and drink options. Did I mention it's a foodies delight? With a full scratch kitchen their in-seat dining options include decadent bites like Parmesan Truffle Fries and Buffalo Mac and Cheese. It's truly the ultimate movie going experience and a fresh take on the tried and true date night concept.



So what are you waiting for? Hop online and reserve your seats for your next Lux date night! This week we're headed to see Once Upon a Time in Hollywood!

I wanted to get in on the fun celebrating the opening of their new location, so I popped into their Natick store to shop for a new look. The staff there was in the process of unpacking their new collection and I'm absolutely in love with it! When I laid eyes on the block party dress I could see myself wearing to beach days, cookouts, and even running around the city on warm summer days. I'm hoping the weather gets better so I can wear it alone, but until then I'll be layering it with their dusk dress jacket. I'm absolutely loving this lightweight layering piece for meetings and running around town and I have my eye on the matching pants!

By far my favorite new piece I picked up from Nic + Zoe are these Brynn Wedges. They come with these beautiful printed scarf ties for the ankle but they also came with leather ankle straps for a more traditional espadrille. It's like two pairs in one! And did I mention they're amazingly comfortable? A great shoe all around.

The ability to customize their planners and products is what sold me on Purple Trails planners-- my cover is customized with my business name and website and I added pages for passwords and log ins to help manage accounts. It has plenty of space to keep track of both my daily schedule, as well as my daily posting schedule for clients. I keep track of everything in there, even my hours, invoicing, and mileage!

I start every week sitting down with my planner and looking at the week at a glance to see what I need to prioritize and then each day make my list of "must do's." With freelancing in social media there are a lot of moving parts and I'm not sure how I would manage it all without my planner.


In addition to my planner, I rely on a few other tricks to maintain productivity. When working from home I aim to take 15 minute breaks every hour. This keeps me from getting too distracted with tasks at home while still ensuring that the laundry gets done and dinner is prepped. I also try to take care of any email or task that will take three minutes or less. By immediately taking action on smaller tasks, it prevents my inbox from getting filled with small, mindless tasks.

Speaking of email, my biggest tool for keeping organized? Google's Gmail "Snooze" button. It's a game changer for those in PR or communications, giving you the ability to push emails back to the top of your inbox at a specific date and time. This function makes following up on emails and deadlines so much easier-- it's saved me from missing some important deadlines and contacts.

I remember when my doctor told me my test results were abnormal and I was carrying the HPV virus.  I immediately thought the worst before learning how common the virus actually is; Nearly 80% of sexually active women carry HPV at some point in their lives and there are actually over 150 strains of the HPV virus. For some, and for myself, the virus will often clear on its own, however some strains have been linked to a higher risk of cervical cancer. When it comes to HPV and cervical cancer, prevention and awareness are key!

When I learned that for less than the cost many co-pays ($15 with insurance, $69 without insurance), anyone can take control of their sexual health with Nurx's at-home HPV screening test I was 100% behind the concept. The kit tests for the 14 strains pf HPV that have a higher risk of leading to cervical cancer. Check out my video and photos to see what to expect in your kit and then head to Nurx's website for more information and to request your own kit. Unfortunately for me, I'm considered high risk going forward, so I'm not eligible to use Nurx's services, but it's incredibly empowering to know that women everywhere can monitor their own sexual health.

There's lots of reasons for eye irritation and redness around the holidays; prepping onions for family meals, crying at holiday movies (just me?), dehydration and stress from travel, late night holiday parties; but they're all pretty easily solved with a few drops of Clear Eyes Maximum Redness Relief Eye Drops and a little makeup! Take a peek for a quick video and read on for products and details!


Before applying any makeup, first pop in a drop or two of Clear Eyes Maximum Redness Relief Eye Drops into each eye. This gentle formula effectively eliminates redness from the eyes giving you the foundation of a whiter, more radiant appearance around the eyes. Makeup can't do it all on it's own! A little help from Clear Eyes is crucial.

Start with an illuminating primer all over the face and blend, focusing a little extra product where the light naturally hits the face (cheekbones, temples, chin, forehead). I like Clarins Instant Light Complexion Boosting Base. Follow with an illuminating concealer like Yves Saint Laurent's Touche Eclat on the area directly under the eye and blend. Finish with your favorite tinted moisturizer or foundation; I used NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer. Follow with a dusting of your favorite translucent powder and your favorite blush (mine is NARS Deep Throat).

Apply your favorite highlighter to your cheekbones and temples, I'm using the highlighter fromMAC's Prissy Princess Palette (currently unavailable). To begin the eyes apply a bit of RMS Living Luminzer or any sheer, liquid highlighter to the area just below brow bone and blend. Follow with an eyeshadow primer like Laura Mercier's Eye Basics to the lid. Apply a neutral, matte shadow to the lid, blending into the crease (I used Giorgio Armani's Eye Tint Liquid Eyeshadow). Finally, apply a shimmering white shadow to the below the lash line, around the corners of the eye, gentle sweeping the color into the crease a bit (mine is from an old Clarins' Palette that is currently unavailable). Finish with your favorite mascara and a pop of color on the lip.


And just like you bring along make for touch ups, I bring along Clear Eyes Maximum Redness Relief Eye Drops for keeping redness at bay on the go! They're the number one selling redness relieving eye drop on the market. It's been a welcome addition to my makeup bag, and is keeping my eyes and my look more radiant and white as we head into 2019! You can grab them on Amazon for 10% off with code 10CLEAREYES through 1/11!
