Blue Light Glasses

Since I’ve become a contact lens girl, my eyes are feeling the blue light effect when I’m on my screens for extended periods. These Gabriel + Simone glasses are saving me! And they have incredible style too.

FYI - they also come as readers with magnification if that’s your need.

Crisp New Pickles Recipe

 I absolutely adore a crisp, deli-style pickle, and so does my family. However, I'm all about achieving maximum results in the kitchen with minimal effort. That's why this recipe, adapted from Baked by Melissa with my own tweaks, has such a huge ROI. In just 5 minutes, you can whip up a jar of pickles so good that I've even started bringing them as hostess gifts!

Call Me Back Podcast

The situation in the middle east is nerve racking. And being able to sort through what the “algorithm” is feeding us is a challenge. I've recently been listening to the Dan Senor podcast, a geopolitical analysis from the world's top experts, and found it very insightful.

I started with the Aug 9 episode titled “What’s the Iran strategy?” and then have been listening to the others every chance I get.
