Beauty | Style | Wellness | Travel The format is simple. What do I do in my "free" time?

I decided to launch a beauty, fashion and lifestyle blog after many years of experience as a taste-maker and lifestyle expert in the media business. First it was AskMelissa, then PageDaily and now my blog which is something very personal and special to me. I post a daily image followed by small tidbits of information. Many posts will offer valuable tips and product picks. I am a lover of art and n

ature and will share images of people, places, and things that will inspire you. I will also make product suggestions that are useful and will save you time researching what is best. My passion has always been to share my discoveries with other women to enhance their every day life. Whether it's advice on what new bag to buy and how to wear it, where to go on vacation, selecting the perfect lipstick, or trying the most effective workouts, think of me as your new best friend! I have over 10 years of experience as a lifestyle expert and appeared on TV as contributor for NBC’s Today Show and Weekend Today in New York, New York Live, Better.TV, Fox’s Good Day New York, and others. I love interviewing celebrities on the red carpet, sharing my gift guides and offering tips on my favorite fashion, beauty and lifestyle products. I am also an OpenSky insider with close to 300,000 followers. I have also been featured in and written for several online and traditional print publications, including People StyleWatch and Hamptons Magazine. PageDaily, my online lifestyle magazine has now become an archive and offers a wealth of information for the best in beauty, fashion and living. Check out its "insider" celebrity and expert tips, tricks and product pick through articles, interviews, and videos. I graduated from Syracuse University and started my career as an Associate Director in the Marketing Department of Bear Stearns planning national and international conferences and events. I was definitely an anomaly there with my short skirts, high heels and face of make-up. I always had a love for journalism and did lots of writing, editing, and proof-reading while at the firm. As a hobby, I was blogging about my favorite restaurants and places to go in NYC. After having children, I realized that Wall Street was not my calling and started AskMelissa, a lifestyle resource and newsletter. I am a big believer that leading a happy life is about finding something you are passionate about and sharing it with others. Balance and surrounding yourself with quality people are so important too. Besides eating yummy meals with my husband, children and close friends, I love spending time outside. I enjoy tennis, horseback riding, hiking, spinning, skiing, and stand-up paddle boarding at the beach (relocating to LA from NYC was a dream come true). My husband is extremely supportive of me and all my endeavors, and we have two amazing teenage children and an adorable shih tzu, Cinnamon. I am so excited to share all my best-kept fashion, beauty and lifestyle secrets with you. I hope you enjoy my personally curated blog and look forward to your comments!

4 ways to style a long slim scarf🧣✨Comment TWILLY and I’ll send you my picks and some fave accessories! Save this post for future reference. ❤️

I recently picked up this beautiful Dior accessory (they refer to it as a Mitzah Scarf) and it truly elevates any outfit! I’ve been collecting these skinny little scarves over the years from many designers and it’s an easy way to create great style without trying too hard!

Here are 4 ways to wear a Twilly or Mitzah Scarf…
-Tie it around your neck as a scarf to add sophistication to any outfit.
-Wear it as a hair tie to elevate your ponytail.
-Style as a belt accessory for a playful upgrade to your pants. I also wear it as a belt!
-Tie onto a bag to complete any look!

One small great accessory can be very powerful and completely transform your outfit of the day!

Bonus ideas: You can also tie around your wrist, wrap around the hard handle of a bag or wear as a head band!

The Sundress Edit ☀️👗COMMENT DRESS and I’ll send you my complete Sundress Edit plus all of my favorite spring and summer fashion picks. ❤️

As the weather warms up, I find myself reaching for dresses more than anything else in my closet. They’re easy, comfortable, and make getting dressed feel effortless—whether I’m running around LA, heading to lunch, or packing for a summer getaway.

I love pieces that feel feminine, polished, and versatile—the kind of dresses you can wear with flat sandals during the day and dress up for dinner at night.
Today I’m sharing my favorite sundresses of the season—the ones I’d happily pack for vacation, wear to brunch, or throw on for a sunset dinner by the water. ✨

Lace up. Show up. Repeat. 💫
The older I get, the more I realize that health isn’t built in grand gestures.
It’s built in the small promises we keep to ourselves. Daily movement. Daily magic. ✨
A walk.
A stretch.
A few minutes outside.
Lacing up our sneakers even when we don’t feel like it.

These moments may seem small, but they add up to a stronger body, a calmer mind, and a more beautiful life.

What’s one daily ritual that helps you feel your best?

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, my friend founder of , hosted a beautiful morning celebrating the launch of The Power of Real Optimism by . ❤️

It was one of those mornings that felt restorative and uplifting. We talked about optimism, connection, and wellness, learned how to make traditional matcha with , and gathered in a beautiful LA setting. 🍵💚

A special highlight was hearing from Dr. Deepika Chopra and reflecting on the power of cultivating optimism in our everyday lives. Her insights were thoughtful, inspiring, and a meaningful reminder of how mindset can support overall well-being.

Many of you already know that I’ve been a fan of BeautyFX Bites and have written about them several times over the year! I eat them daily as a delish snack and to help me reach my protein goals. They’ve also become one of my favorite go-to’s for busy days, travel, post-workout, or whenever I’m craving something sweet.

The Cacao Raspberry flavor is my fave and it tastes like a brownie—it’s packed with plant-based protein, collagen, fiber, nuts, seeds, and superfoods that help keep me energized and satisfied.

If you haven’t tried BeautyFX Bites yet (there are 3 flavors), you’re in for a treat. Feel free to DM me for the link. 💕

Looking for clean, effective sunscreens that feel great on your skin and leave no white cast? ☀️Comment SPF and I’ll send you my latest Substack article with all my top picks!

I did a lot of research testing tons of sunscreens…many of the popular ones I used for years contained ingredients that were not as clean as I liked them to be. I’m so picky about the way they feel on my skin so did a ton of research to find the best ones that feel hydrating and never leave a white cast.

I hope you check out my SPF favorites—the face and body sunscreens I use and trust all summer long!

Feel free to DM me what you are currently using and I’ll let you know of a good replacement!

As I get older, I realize more and more that a beautiful life isn’t built from the big moments alone. It’s family. Close friends. Freedom. Health. Peace. Time together. The ability to wake up and simply live your life. ✨Appreciate every minute because we all know how life can change on a dime.

While we have our issues, I feel blessed for our freedom and to live in the US. Memorial Day is a great day to reflect on our lives and to think about and honor those who sacrificed everything for all of us. ❤️🤍💙

The Memorial Day sales this year are really good! 👀✨ I did the research and created a PDF with a round-up all the best fashion, beauty, and lifestyle sales from brands I actually love and shop myself. Some of my favorites are included in this post. ✨Comment LIST and I’ll send it to you!

Think brands like Aurate, Fashionphile, J.Crew, Splendid, Alpyn Beauty, Ilia, Tatcha, Nécessaire, Oak Essentials, LolaVie, Corpus and more. 🥰

It’s a great time to get those staples you may be missing in your wardrobe, makeup bag or home. Instead of searching all over the internet, I put everything into one easy PDF with clickable shopping links organized by brand and category. I know I’ll be spending some time on these sites!

I hope you find some great deals and have a fabulous long weekend!

Wait until you see what I found on —my go-to place to find designer styles at a discount! 💃 I saved all my summer favorites in my wishlist…take a look at them linked in bio! ✨ This is my kind of summer dressing: easy, elevated, and a little playful.

This Pucci dress is such a standout—the colors, the print, the silhouette. I’m going to wear it all summer long and it’s the perfect vacay piece. I added this cute Zimmermann belt to define my waist and paired it with these square-toed Stuart Weitzman mules that go with everything.

The best part about shopping on THE OUTNET? You can find pieces from the best designers at up to 70% off, which makes discovering something special even more fun!

Happy 29th Birthday to my beautiful girl 🥳 Looking back at all these photos and videos from the past 6 years makes me emotional in the best way. ❤️👯

We’ve worked together, traveled the world together, laughed, cried, talked about everything, and have grown closer through it all. I truly treasure our relationship and wish you lived closer (no Jewish guilt here…just missing you and some of these times we shared)!

I’m so proud of the woman you are today and all you’ve accomplished. Your strength, kindness, intelligence, resilience, humor, wit, beautiful heart, and moral compass inspire me every day. Here’s to celebrating YOU today and watching you continue to make your mark on the big apple and the world. I love you! 😘
