Good Morning Boston & Main Readers,
I had a reflection recently about all the good that Boston & Main has brought me thus far and wanted to share and hopefully inspire some of you reading this. I took my Daughter to the beach yesterday and was snapping away for this account. I realized how much beauty I found in the littlest of things which ordinarily I wouldn't even bother to look at nonetheless take a picture of. And yes, I'm in the Northeast and it was cold so we bundled up and had a nice afternoon.
Boston & Main has allowed me to step back and find beauty in things I never would have even looked at. Sure, this account was set up to talk about "beauty" in skincare, cosmetics, food, luxurious travels, but it also can be found in thinhgs such as the shell of a crab or stingray or whatever I found yesterday. The way the trees curve over as you exit the boardwalk, or the rocks which dart out into the water that are gorgeous but very dangerous. Even a man who was on the beach with a metal detector. It all was beautiful to me and worth taking a second glance at.
I hope you all can take today and every day to try to find beauty in things which aren't at first glance beautiful. Enjoy your Sundays and every day and please feel free to reach out directly for anything at BostonandMain&gmail.com.
xoxo
Hi Boston & Main Readers!
It's a week before Thanksgiving and if you haven't begun to think about what you're thankful for, you better start. On a deep level I am thankful for my family, my health, having a wonderful roof over my head, good friends, etc...on a more superficial level, I am thankful for my skin!!!!
Today, after canceling and rescheduling, and convincing myself I wouldn't have to go, I went to my Dermatologist. It's very hard to take skincare advice from someone else when you often are giving it. I unfortunately had begun to develop some scar or mark from a pimple which had popped on it's own (I don't like to pop pimples) and I was worried I'd have a mark there forever.
So my Derm walks in and within seconds is convinced, "you have cystic acne." Well I have news for you, you're wrong, I don't, next question please. Turns out, I was correct, and I don't have cystic acne but regardless it got me to thinking, wow, you're freaking over one mark, be thankful you've never had a big pimple problem in life.
I see so many struggle and am very fortunate that I was blessed with good skin which I just maintain. So he perscribed some ointments to try to make the scarring go down and I'll keep you all posted.
Meantime, my big investment this season (whether my Husband buys it for me or not is the question) will be the La Mer soft cream. It is too yummy to not use and I think I save so much not doing injectables that what's a few hundred dollars for a cream.
I have recently begun using SO many new products which I'll blog about at a later date but for tonight, I wanted to use this time to let you all know that I do not for one moment take my skin for granted. I am utterly thankful for it.

Good Evening Boston & Main Readers!
While blogging hasn't been the main focus of this past year, we've covered a lot in the way of beauty products, foodie favorites, and travel destinations on both Instagram and Facebook. I set out last year to create a digital place that would make people feel good. It's my hope that I will be able to continue to provide thoughtful posts about ways we can feel better in life through inspiring words, places to go and products to try.
Life isn't always easy and at times we can feel lost, but whether it be visiting somewhere that puts us at ease, inhaling a relaxing bushel of lavender, or savoring our favorite sweet, there is always some way to make the day better.
Have a good night my friends and thank you for reading.
xoxo
