The Key to Fighting Jet Lag
I’m a walker, so the first thing I do (after a 12 hour flight) is drop the bags at the hotel (it’s only 6:30 a.m.!) …do a little unpacking, and then I’m off to explore the city. I’m staying at the harbor, so I take a 3-hour sunrise walk along the water, up the hills, over the valleys and I find myself in the trendy part of town called ‘New Markets’, just unlocking the doors. Glorious for me a find a Karen Walker store…Karen is a national treasure here…the CEO and head designer of her clothing, eyewear and accessories label. MORE

Jan in KIWILAND! New Zealand
I’m off to New Zealand…amazingly; I’ve never been there before! So many times to Australia, but never New Zealand. So, I’m excited! Going to Auckland to launch Shellac.
The country has two islands: the north island, where I am (lovely, hilly landscape) and the south Island, even more legendary for its beauty. A little intel on NZ tells me that the top industries here are sheep ranching, crude oil, and tourism. Like Texas, x 1000!!! MORE
