One of my favorite things about coming back from vacation is reliving the memories. In the case of Japan, it was especially fun to reminisce while unpacking the cute souvenirs we purchased. G and I both designated our carry-ons for bringing home tons of snacks, candy, and "kawaii" beauty and office products. Before doling gifts out to family and friends, I took photos of some of my favorites, which I included here. I'm heading to New York on Sunday (so much for adjusting to the LA time zone), but hoping to spend the day on Saturday laying low with Sloan and G and trying out one of the face masks pictured below. Hope you have a restful weekend!

Last Sunday, before I had a chance to fully unpack from Japan, let alone recover from jet lag, I left for a quick work trip to New York. Since I arrived in the afternoon on Sunday, I took full advantage of the free time to unwind in my hotel room with a magazine and a glass of ...read more
