While I am not a big fan of the dead of winter, I love snowy days – from inside my home. In anticipation of today’s blizzard, I stocked up on great food from my favorite market, Whole Foods and had my hair blown out yesterday. I plan to spend the day listening to great music, meditating, reading and, best of all, having a beauty day with these great products.
