Want a simpler, more beautiful way to create qualitative storage boxes? Â Well, I did. Â I have been saving up sturdy shoe boxes to create storage in my office, but I needed the right paper to wrap the boxes in. I headed to the new Paper Source in Rockefeller Center and picked up a few sheets…
As part of a new series this year, I wanted to share with you how I am decluttering my life. This is a five month series. Â For those who want to take the steps to begin decluttering your life, count on this being a six month life plan to commit to this year. Â You’ll need…
September 1, Day One. DIET: Â Today, I don’t feel like eating. Â This is nothing new to me. Â I have days where I just don’t feel like eating. Â I downloaded the app “MyFitnessPal” to track my food and water consumption. Â I started using it last Friday and after a day of logging in my food, water…
When I first began this site, it started off as just trying to make myself into a better person by doing things that I had always wanted to do (like figuring out how to make Coq au Vin), and sharing the journey along the way. Â Over this last week, the site sort of took a…
For those who dream in fashion, I have a sale for you to make your Fantasy Wardrobe just a little bit happier. I will admit that I never announce a major sale until AFTER I’ve shopped it. What can I say? Â It’s the New Yorker in me that sees a sale, hopes no one else…
No, this isn’t one of those posts on how to get a fake Fendi.  This is PW pointing you in a new direction…how to buy Fendi below the retail price. Being a Fendi addict, I’ve found numerous ways to get the Fendi I want.  Whether it’s having patience and waiting for the season to end, or…

This box included La Mère Poulard sablés (cookies), Maison D’Armorine salted butter caramels, Domaine Des Vignes whole grain mustard, Charles Antona Corsican cherries and thyme jam, Clément Faugier chestnut spread, Flagrants Désirs dark chocolate bar with raspberry and two fruit…
There are a lot of subscription box services out there lately, but nothing that is as close to representing the foodie side of “Perfectionist Wannabe” as the Try The World box service. I got my first box a couple of weeks ago and I have to say…I am beyond impressed with what you get for…
The Christmas holiday rush is over.  Now is the time to reflect and ponder over how you want to approach the new year.  What changes do you need to make in your life?  What realistic changes do you want in your life? There are needs and then there are wants.  A need is something that you…
This year, I couldn’t wait to get the tree up, so on Thanksgiving Day, while the ham was still roasting in the oven, I put the tree up, decorated it, and began putting together the Advent gifts. In November, I did all of the Christmas shopping I needed to do. Â I was done long before…
The days just start to get away with you and before you know it…the holiday is already here, so I’m going to put together the rest of my list… Giving Thanks from C to Z…. C- Charlie. Â Little brothers, no matter where in the world they are, are always important. Â Charlie is deployed overseas right…
There are a lot of things I can think of this year under the letter B that I’m thankful for. 1. Borbay. Â One of my favorite painters based in NYC created Mads as Hannibal for me as part of his Antihero series. Â Mads is done. Â He’s an expensive Christmas present to myself, so I’m making…
Today, we’re starting off with things to be thankful for starting with the letter A. So let’s get started… ANGELS Throughout my life I’ve researched the stories of angels. Â From cultures in the most remote areas of the world to the folklores each religion tells, they all speak of angels appearing to humanity since the…
I’m going to do things a little differently this month. Â While I try to focus on a certain region on this planet, I seem to be lacking the time to do posts and create the delicacies lately. Â So I’m going to make this easier upon myself (especially since the new hockey season has begun which…
We’re switching gears now for the month of September.  This month, we’ll be diving into the Mediterranean culture.  No, we’re not just talking Greek, here.  We’re going to be exploring several countries that surround the Mediterranean Sea. The countries bordering the sea all lend their own hand in what has developed into the Mediterranean cuisine.  But keep…
This month as I try to get control over the chaos around me, I decided to take a one month break from sharing the things I’ve learned about a certain country or culture.  Instead, for the month of August, we’ll be going through the motions of organization, decluttering, and the concept of ‘using what you have.’…
With the beginning of a new month, we are switching topics to Italy and all things Italian. Â Of course, one of the things I love most about Italy (beyond its rich and ancient culture) is the food! Â Italian food is probably the easiest to prepare and make. Â Granted, some of the recipes I found in…
