I had dinner with some old friends in town from Florida yesterday evening. I would post the photo we took but you can practically see the red wine bleeding from my eyes. I got home, slept for about two hours, and have been wide awake since. I'm actually freelancing in Connecticut this week so my timing will be off anyway. But for someone who spends an obscene amount of time in bed (it's where I do my writing - a horrid habit that I'm trying to break) it is terribly ironic that I've become somewhat of an insomniac.

No better time than to share a few products that are getting me through the day and helping me to look somewhat fresh-faced.


Dianne Brill Ice Pack Anti-Fatigue Eye Stick. I adore her entire line; it is lingerie themed and very moisturizing. I picked this up in London. I honestly saw the green and was immediately drawn to this exact product. Meant to be. It's made with snake venom. Coincidentally, I feel as though I've been bitten by a snake shortly after applying this. But I need it. Desperately.


Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat. A touch of light to banish shadows and signs of fatigue. Did ever a better highlighter exist?

I have tried it all. Lavender, milk, warm baths, exercise. Tylenol PM is a double edged sword because it knocks me out too hard. The conundrum continues because I cannot have caffeine. No coffee or energy drinks for this gal. On the contrary, I have a surprising amount of energy for someone who sleeps as infrequently as I do. I've become accustomed to running on empty.

The night is here and the day is gone, and the world spins madly on.
