One of the many Silver Linings of my life is living in the beautiful state of California. This Thanksgiving weekend, I have hiked, played tennis, and swum – outside. On Thanksgiving evening, we roasted marshmallows and made S’mores – outside.
Inspire Me & Celebrate Life with Style
Style Inspiration: Aerin Lauder
I’ve always been a big fan of Aerin Lauder’s style: timeless with a twist. My personal style tends to be very similar (or at least aspirational!) to Aerin’s.
Giddy about Green
Green is one of my favorite colors (next to pink, of course!). So, I thought I’d share some inspirational green images and a few Silver Lined tidbits about the color itself. Grass green is the most restful color. Green symbolizes self-respect and well being. Green is favored by well balanced people. Green symbolizes the master healer… Continue reading Giddy about Green
Brace Yourselves
A year ago today, I wrote my first Brookside Buzz post. Wow. A year. I can’t believe I just wrote that.

Dazzling Desks
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved offices. When I was a little girl, I remember going with my dad to his office on Sunday mornings. I looked forward to it all week. My sister and I sat at the secretary’s desks (in those days, they were still called secretaries) and did… Continue reading Dazzling Desks
Brookside Beauty: Egyptian Magic
Ever since I started radiation for FBC (F-bomb breast cancer) in May, my skin has been as dry as the Sahara Desert in Egypt. To meet the Egyptian desert on my face, I needed some magic…as in Egyptian Magic!
Fashion SL: A Walk down Memory Lane…
As I prepare for this week’s super fun trip to New York for tennis and fashion (Double Silver Lining!), I thought I’d share a few of my favorite looks from the past few years.
Brookside Beauty: Beating Dark Circles
I’m up yet again in the middle of the night with insane hot flashes which will guarantee Birkin Bags under my eyes in the morning. Fortunately, some beauty advice was close at hand (Silver Lining!).
