Where to go for:

SOME SELF-CARE

"I recently took time off from work and had a self-care day. I visited Hand & Stone in Mamaroneck and had a massage with Yalitza. Yalitza is my go to at H&S.

I then made my way up to Greenwich, CT to visit Danielle at the J House Spa. Danielle has been my aesthetician for many years. If you mention you read this and it's your first time visiting, receive 15% off your service."

A DATE NIGHT

"It's hard to choose one place and it's always a toss up between Blackstones in Greenwich, Christopher's by Chef Joe in Larchmont, and Marcelleria in Armonk. All three places have consistency and that's what I look for when I go out to a restaurant."

A QUIET PLACE TO WORK

"I have not been WFH for quite some time, but when I was I would head over to Slave To The Grind in Bronxville and sit outside and read books for professional development. I found this was a way of still working without actually feeling like I was working."

CONNECTING WITH NATURE

"I found when I was quarantining and doing the WFH thing that I was taking frequent rides down to Bronxville and walking along the Bronx River. I've always loved the village of Bronxville and find something so peaceful about it. During the summer I found myself taking trips up to Cold Spring and walking their trails and trying out the places the locals go to."
