I’ve always thought of myself as a city girl, but this weekend, while I was petting a couple of goats (they were at the tree lot where I bought my Christmas tree), I realized that I could probably be happy on a farm if I had lots of animals around.

Have you realized anything new about yourself lately? Big or small, I’d love to hear about it.

A new travel exclusive kit filled with Bobbi Brown goodies to combat the drying effects of long flights. That way, you can arrive at your destination looking fresh and well-rested.

Seriously, this stuff does not mess around! The creams and balms feel thick, super-hydrating and rich, rich, rich!

Gals/guys with seriously dry skin will probably love it.
