Tinsley Mortimer’s Black Printed Ruffle Dress

Tinsley Mortimer’s Black Printed Ruffle Dress in The Hamptons

Real Housewives of New York Season 12 Episode 3 Fashion

Based on the previews for this week’s episode of RHONY Tinsley Mortimer totally came dressed to impress for the party the ladies attend at Ramona’s friend’s $30 $39 million dollar Hamptons mansion (complete with a freakin’ bowling alley). And the fact that her black printed ruffle dress is still in stock? Well that my friends is what we call a lucky strike.

Fashionably,

Faryn

10 Best-Sellers at Sephora Under $25

Although it’s so easy to get carried away and drop half a paycheck at Sephora, the retailer does stock a plethora of under $25 goodies that won’t make you break out in hives when you see the receipt. The best cheap Sephora products include makeup, haircare, skincare and beauty tools. In fact, some of them are even top sellers on the entire Sephora site so there’s a good chance you’re trying something fans love—and you could, too.

Brands including Benefit Cosmetics and Anastasia Beverly Hills hawk full-size eyebrow products priced at less than $25 that have almost five stars on Sephora’s website. There’s a good reason. These best-sellers last months in the tube and hours on your face, so you won’t have to reapply as often. Prefer an affordable lipstick? Fenty Beauty (really!) and Sephora Collection have some of the prettiest gloss and matte shades for under $20.

There’s skincare, too, especially from Sephora’s own in-house line, Sephora Collection. Stock up on face masks and hydrating oil that feel way more expensive than they are. Shop some of our best-selling Sephora favorites, below.

Locked Down in Paradise: Finding a Practical Way to Manage the Stress

Locked Down in Paradise Finding a Practical Way to Manage the Stress

Much like the rest of the world, Koh Lanta is locked down. No one can get off the island, and no one can get on. There are exceptions for medical personnel and food delivery, but that’s it unless you have a letter of permission from the local authorities.

Stranded on an Island

I can leave if I have a plane ticket
back to my home country, but it’s a risk because I wouldn’t be allowed to come
back. After all, if I’m flying back home, why would I want to return to this
foreign land?

Yet, many international flights out of Thailand are being canceled at the last minute. And where would that leave me? I have visions of that movie with Tom Hanks, The Terminal. I definitely don’t want to live at an airport till the shutdown is lifted. It could be weeks!

Here on Koh Lanta, there is nowhere
to go and nothing to do. Hotels, resorts, and beach bungalows are closed. Restaurants
are not allowed to serve food, so a few are providing take away. Bars are
closed, as are all sporting events and entertainment venues.

Massage and hair salons closed a
while ago, along with the nail shops, gyms, and yoga studios. The meditation,
Muay Thai Boxing, and yoga vacation retreats have all shut down.

People are hunkered down at home and
are only allowed to go out to buy food from 4 am to 8 pm. No social gatherings
are allowed. We all have to wear a mask. Heavy fines are in place to encourage
everyone to follow the rules.

A Grand Dystopian Adventure

While some people complain about the
curfew, it’s really out of boredom, since we’re only supposed to stay home or
take solo walks, runs, or bike rides.

I could be super stressed and
panicked with all the limitations on my freedom. But I’m not. I don’t feel
confined; rather, I see it as an adventure.

We are experiencing something
historic, monumental, and rather surreal. I’m a big fan of dystopian and
post-apocalyptic fiction, and I now see it playing out all around me. It’s
really happening, and I’m fascinated!

The Physical Symptoms of Stress

Like many of us, I wake up in the
middle of the night with shortness of breath, pain in my chest, and the sweats.
But I don’t let it control me. I know it’s my body’s way of managing the fear
of catching the virus.

My strategy is to quickly take my
mind off myself and focus on something else. Maybe my cat’s crazy sleeping
position or the way the leaves are moving outside my window. I force myself to
think about what I just watched on Netflix or a treat I’ll give myself
tomorrow.

If I can’t stop the worrying, I’ll
tell myself that first thing in the morning, if I still feel the same way, I’ll
go to the doctor. And I mean it.

The next day I usually forget about the
midnight experience until around lunchtime or when I’m out on my beach bike
ride. I chuckle at how real the physical symptoms were.

Whether it was my fear playing with
me, or my body was truly in agony, it doesn’t matter. I had respected the
feelings and had created a plan for the next morning. This plan allowed me to
fall asleep; it removed the urgency and lowered my stress.

Staying Rational in the Face of Fear

I have no idea if I will get this
virus. However, I do know that worrying about it definitely won’t help. I’m
staying healthy, following all the social distancing and washing advice, and
finding things to do with my day.

If the authorities close the beaches,
I’ll take up exercising at home. But that isn’t today. Today I can still bike
on the sand, wearing a face mask and staying a hockey stick (my inner Canadian surfacing)
away from everyone.

My Home Away from Home

A few weeks ago, when all foreigners were
advised to go home, I realized that Koh Lanta was home. I retired here over 5
years ago. I have an amazing house with a beautiful garden, along with three
wonderful cats and my partner of 30 years.

I take each day as it comes, even
with all the changing restrictions and concerning statistics around the planet.
My advice to everyone is to live each day the best you can. Don’t look at it as
living with limitations and fear – see it as an opportunity to live through this horrid global pandemic.

Do you experience physical symptoms
of stress? What are they? How do you manage them? Please share your tips with
our community.

The Best Balance Boards For Every Fitness Level

Balance boards are a great workout and posture-enhancing fitness accessory that will help you burn extra calories and tone muscles (especially your core, oblique’s and lower back), whether you’re working out at home, practicing yoga, doing a Pilates video, or just standing around. Aside from their fitness-focused benefits, they’re also great for helping to improve your balance (hence the name), coordination, stability and they can also help to encourage better posture with continual use. There are a few main types of balance boards to choose from: rocker boards, wobble boards, and roller boards. In general, the smaller your balance board is, the more difficult your workout will be.

Traditional wobble boards are great for adding resistance and extra intensity to a variety of different workouts—you can even use them to enhance your pushups, ab exercises, and squats. Rocker boards are a great option for beginners because they don’t offer the same 360 range of motions as other types, but they do still help to improve your posture and balance. Finally, roller boards (the most challenging of the three) are great for those advanced strength-training routines. Regardless of your fitness level and individual wellness goals, there’s a balance board for everyone out there.

Tinsley Mortimer’s Purple Striped Puff Sleeve Sweater in The Hamptons

Real Housewives of New York Season 12 Episode 3 Fashion

Tbh the previews for tonight’s episode of RHONY are really reminding us of all of the things we miss from normal life pre-social distancing — such as wearing cute sweaters like Tinsley Mortimer’s purple striped puff sleeve one during the fall at a winery in The Hamptons. Not that we’ve actually ever done that before, but you better believe that post-quarantine it’ll definitely be on our champagne bucket list.

Fashionably,

Faryn
