March always feels like a moment of gentle transition for me. The light shifts, the air softens, and I find myself reaching for the pieces, places and rituals that bring both comfort and inspiration. This month, I wanted to share a few favorites that feel especially close to my heart. A touch of inspired fashion, a beloved local institution and a skincare journey rooted in science, soul and resilience.

A Little Fun With Timeless Designer Bags

There is something undeniably grounding about a beautiful designer bag. The kind that does not chase trends, but instead becomes part of your personal staple. This season, I have been gravitating toward rich textures and silhouettes that feel effortless yet refined.

My current capsule collection features three of my favorites that I return to again and again. Bottega Veneta for its quiet luxury and sculptural leather work. Saint Laurent for that unmistakable Parisian edge that elevates even the simplest outfit. And Christian Dior, whose timeless elegance always feels feminine, polished, and enduring.

These are the pieces I reach for when I want to feel pulled together without trying too hard. Whether paired with denim and a knit or layered over a tailored coat, a great bag has the power to transform the entire look. To me, true style is about longevity, intention, and choosing pieces that feel like you. If you want to see these looks come to life, discover my Instagram reel: www.instagram.com/p/DPzvF9bEnWE/

Sunday Comfort at Benjie’s Deli

If fashion feeds my creativity, food feeds my soul. And for my husband Jeff and me, Sundays almost always mean visiting Benjie’s Deli. We have been frequenting Benjie's for years, and it has become one of those places that feels like home. I recently snapped a photo with my favorite waitress, Dee, and the owner, Chanele, two women who embody the warmth and heart of this restaurant.

Chanele’s story is one I truly love. After working as a hostess and waitress for more than 30 years, she made the bold decision to buy Benjie’s herself. It is a beautiful reminder that experience, perseverance, and belief can lead to the most meaningful chapters.

Benjie’s has been serving the community since 1967, and nearly six decades later, it remains a solid Santa Ana institution. A classic New York style Jewish deli where matzo ball soup, pastrami sandwiches and beef on rye are still done the right way. My personal favorite is the corned beef, especially knowing it remains one of their most beloved staples.

In a world that changes quickly, there is something comforting about a place that stays true to what it does best. Benjie’s is not just a restaurant. It is tradition, memory and community, all served on a warm plate.

The Beauty of Science and Soul With AISPIRE MD

Beauty, for me, has always been about trust. That is why my relationship with Dr. Grace Liu means so much. She is not only a dear friend, but the person I have trusted with my skin for over a decade. AISPIRE MD is the culmination of her vision, expertise and heart. Created to transform skincare into something deeper, it represents where cutting edge science meets the soul of nature. With a background in biochemistry, Dr. Liu set out to combine advanced biotechnology, dynamic botanicals and innovative delivery systems that carry bioactives deeper into the skin.

The journey to bring AISPIRE MD to life was demanding and provocative. There were late nights, countless iterations and the thoughtful use of AI to research ingredients, formulations and packaging. Every obstacle became an opportunity to refine, elevate and invent something more elegant than originally imagined.

In her research, Dr. Liu discovered a company that distills essential oils using the ancient French process of enfleurage. This hexane free method preserves the fragrance of rare and delicate flowers and it became a pivotal representation of the brand’s philosophy.

Slowly, the vision crystallized. Each formula is crafted with purpose. Wild Pacific Salmon DNA at the highest clinical concentrations. A luminous serum powered by 2MNG. Synergistic botanicals chosen to heal, brighten and revitalize. No shortcuts. Every ingredient is grounded in published science and tested for safety and efficacy.

Today, AISPIRE MD is professional grade, cruelty free, paraben free, hexane free and designed with sustainability in mind. But beyond the science, what matters most is the moment someone looks in the mirror and sees skin that feels vibrant, restored and alive.

Dr. Liu is a Board Certified Dermatologist, a Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology, and on staff at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach. With more than 28 years as a Mohs surgeon, she brings surgical precision and an artistic eye to aesthetic dermatology, blending science, artistry and patient collaboration to enhance natural beauty.

AISPIRE MD is more than skincare. It is true resilience and intention in every drop. As we move into spring, I am reminded that the things we truly love tend to share one quality. They are created with care, rooted in purpose, and meant to last. Whether it is a timeless bag, a Sunday tradition, or a skincare ritual that transforms from within, these are the moments that make life feel rich.

With Love,
