“Every week I think to myself, ‘I need a massage.’ And as the months (never mind days) go by, I continually fail at booking an appointment. With the boost of a tax refund, it’s time to make my way to Shibui Spa at The Greenwich Hotel for some much needed relaxation.”

“I feel like I'm constantly searching for the perfect tinted moisturizer, and I usually have at least two (sometimes I just mix them all up!) in rotation. I was tempted to try Le Métier de Beauté's tinted Peau Vierge Anti-Aging Complexe when it came out and now tax season is giving me every excuse to indulge.”

“A tax return brings with it a new windfall of cash, therefore, I usually stock up on some of my favorite products during April. Beauty RX by Dr. Schultz offers the Progressive Peel, which has all the benefits of a glycolic peel but without the trek to the dermatologist. And while I love visiting mine, there are those hectic moments when I need to take some time at home and just feel my skin getting (hopefully) younger and brighter.”

“A one-on-one session with my incredible Pilates teacher, Blossom Leilani Crawford, owner and director of Bridge Pilates in Brooklyn. I take her mat classes on the regular at Mark Morris Dance Center—highly recommended—and I’d love to do some even more in-depth work with her.”

“Eating well consistently—in spite of my hectic, high-stress New York City lifestyle—is my biggest daily challenge. I have been nothing short of obsessed with trying Nourish's one-month cleanse-meets-meal delivery program since I read about it in Vogue earlier this month. All sessions begin with a consultation with owner and nutritionist Marissa Lippert and I'd like to use the month that follows to cement my healthier habits and break my insane 3:00 p.m. addiction to sugar.”

“I’ll take any opportunity to splurge on a little sparkle, so when today’s tax return appears, I fully plan on indulging in a suite of iridescent eye shadows from Sephora (specifically: Make Up For Ever’s White Violet Glitters, NARS Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow in Cassiopeia, NARS Single Eyeshadow in Amethyst Infused with Gold, and Laura Mercier Fairy Dust Eye Shimmer).

"I would be more excited about my Sunday night ritual, which involves putting on a face mask while I give myself a manicure and pedicure if my bathrobe got an update. I’ll invest in a timeless, ultra white version from Frette, and stock up on a few favorite masks and polishes that I seem to perpetually run out of.”
