I didn’t want a new face. I wanted to look like ME again. ❤️

And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that you can love yourself exactly as you are and still want to make a change. Those two things can exist at the same time.

I’m a mom of four, a wife, a business owner, and a woman who has spent years taking care of everyone else. Somewhere between raising babies, building a business, and the beautiful chaos of life, I started noticing changes in the mirror.

And one day, I decided to do something about them.

But here’s what I REALLY want you to take away from my journey…

DO YOUR RESEARCH. AND THEN DO SOME MORE.

I spent YEARS researching surgeons before choosing @drirasavetsky . I didn’t want to look different. I wanted my expressions, my personality, my face. Just refreshed. And his work was exactly what I was looking for.

I also learned that recovery isn’t a race. Healing takes patience, consistency, and listening to your doctor. Even when you’re a native New Yorker who thinks walking around Manhattan in a headscarf counts as resting. 😂🗽

Three months later, I would do it all over again.

But the biggest lesson wasn’t about my face.

It was about giving myself PERMISSION.

Permission to invest in myself. To make a decision that was mine. To stop feeling like I needed to explain my choices.

Here’s what I hope every woman remembers:

You don’t have to be unhappy with yourself to do something for yourself.

Whether it’s booking that trip, starting a business, prioritizing your health, or finally doing something you’ve dreamed about for years…

Choosing yourself doesn’t mean you’re choosing anyone else less. ❤️

Do your homework. Make informed decisions. And never let someone else’s opinion become louder than your own voice.

This was my personal experience, and everyone’s healing journey is different.

Now tell me, what’s ONE thing you’ve been putting off doing for YOU? ✨

Four kids, dogs, laundry, sports gear and a house that is basically never empty 😂 I care WAY too much about how my home smells.

I’ve partnered with @azunafresh to show how I’m incorporating their plant-powered, tea tree oil-based air care  into our everyday routine. Azuna eliminates the odors caused by mold, mildew and bacteria at their source, instead of covering the smell with heavy fragrance.

Simple + low maintenance = exactly what I need around here. 🙌

Comment FRESH and I’ll DM you the link to shop!

Use code CITYGIRL at checkout.

Halloween was completely impromptu, and somehow those always turn into the BEST nights! 🎃😂 Last-minute costumes, friends who showed up, and memories we didn’t even know we were making. 🧡

Nothing beats good friends, belly laughs, and absolutely ZERO plans.

But don’t get too comfortable, spooky season… Halloween is already in storage, my Christmas tree is UP, and Mariah Carey has officially DEFROSTED! 🎄🎶🤣

I’m not saying I rushed Christmas… but I didn’t exactly give Thanksgiving a fighting chance. 💀😂

Who’s Team Christmas Already and who’s still holding on to Halloween?! 👀🎄 #halloween #christmastime

🍂 Maybe the best moments in life are the ones we almost rush past.

The older I get, the more I realize that life isn’t about how much we squeeze into a day. It’s about how much of it we actually FEEL. ❤️

One last love letter to fall. The changing leaves, pumpkin patches, crisp air, belly laughs, and an unforgettable East Coast road trip with a dear friend and @hyundaiusa. 🍁🚙

Maybe it’s the New Yorker in me, but this season will forever have my heart.

Here’s your reminder to slow down, take the scenic route, and stop waiting for a special occasion to make a beautiful memory.

Because someday, these will be the good old days.

🍂 Tell me, are you holding on to every last bit of fall, or are you already decorating for Christmas? 😂🎄 @hyundaiusa

A little spooky, a little cinematic, and a whole lot of WHAT IN THE 80’s HOLLYWOOD?! 🎬

AI Halloween photos might officially be my newest obsession. The creativity is INSANE, just wish it could keep your face in tact… ha like my Italian nose is there then it’s gone. 

Which one is your favorite?! 👀👇 Mine is the 80’s kitchen of me and bro bro!
