I’m one of those people who attends open houses when I have no business (let alone money) to buy a home. Instead I like to wander through the old homes and imagine what I would do if I did have the money to give the place a facelift. Down with this wall! Off with the wallpaper! Bring in the light! Where is the vegetation?! Picture my hands mimicking Mickey Mouses’s hands in Fantasia, I’m conducting my own little mini orchestra of renovation destruction. Obviously this is nothing like the real process of renovating, as Lauren Snyder will attest. She and her husband recently gutted and renovated their Brooklyn brownstone. But read on to see their Fantasia-like results!

All Is Well with Mia Rigden
We are all a little bit obsessed with the goddess that is Mia Rigden. As I type this, Tori and Pia are shooting something else with Mia right now and I’m super jealous they get to be in her presence for the afternoon! She has a grounding energy and bright smile that draws everyone a little bit closer to her. She also happens to have a kick ass wellness community, Rasa Life.

A Beauty Minute With Sinikiwe Dhliwayo
Morning: I don’t normally wash my face but I will spritz it with toner and use some vitamin e oil. I prime my face with Nars Smooth and Protect primer that contains sunscreen. I try to be diligent about using sunscreen since I use retinoid products. I wear Nars sheer glow foundation in New Orleans in the winter and switch to Benares in the summer.
