This Weekend I Escaped to Istanbul

Oh how I WISH I was one of those "she's so lucky" types that weekends in the Black Sea, but alas I am purely referring to a candle

Granted this an Archipelago candle (ooh, Greek vocab time. How many Byzantine states can I fit in one post, honey?) so our little Park Slope home took on the sea cliffs of the Istanbul (was Constantinople!) with a heady blend of black cannibus, warm ambers and flush rose leaves. Green and exotic, this scent made the unshakable heat of our New York apartment feel like a divine invitation to wine and Netflix heavy evenings in the a/c

(Turn down the lights, turn down the bed...)

Trust me on this one: Archipelago Istanbul tin candle, $12 for 5.9oz at http://www.archipelago-usa.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductName=Istanbul%20Travel%20Tin 

Collins it a Day!

Late nites have been spent on Netflix watching the Collins clan on the old 1966 Dark Shadows

                                   

                                  

While work days have been spent reading Jackie Collins' deep thoughts on Twitter

Perhaps I should make it the perfect trifecta and replace my morning coffee with a Tom Collins? It's the Collins way!
