GlowGetter tips + tricks
Beauty | Style | Wellness | Travel The format is simple. What do I do in my "free" time?
I decided to launch a beauty, fashion and lifestyle blog after many years of experience as a taste-maker and lifestyle expert in the media business. First it was AskMelissa, then PageDaily and now my blog which is something very personal and special to me. I post a daily image followed by small tidbits of information. Many posts will offer valuable tips and product picks. I am a lover of art and nature and will share images of people, places, and things that will inspire you. I will also make product suggestions that are useful and will save you time researching what is best. My passion has always been to share my discoveries with other women to enhance their every day life. Whether it's advice on what new bag to buy and how to wear it, where to go on vacation, selecting the perfect lipstick, or trying the most effective workouts, think of me as your new best friend! I have over 10 years of experience as a lifestyle expert and appeared on TV as contributor for NBC’s Today Show and Weekend Today in New York, New York Live, Better.TV, Fox’s Good Day New York, and others. I love interviewing celebrities on the red carpet, sharing my gift guides and offering tips on my favorite fashion, beauty and lifestyle products. I am also an OpenSky insider with close to 300,000 followers. I have also been featured in and written for several online and traditional print publications, including People StyleWatch and Hamptons Magazine. PageDaily, my online lifestyle magazine has now become an archive and offers a wealth of information for the best in beauty, fashion and living. Check out its "insider" celebrity and expert tips, tricks and product pick through articles, interviews, and videos. I graduated from Syracuse University and started my career as an Associate Director in the Marketing Department of Bear Stearns planning national and international conferences and events. I was definitely an anomaly there with my short skirts, high heels and face of make-up. I always had a love for journalism and did lots of writing, editing, and proof-reading while at the firm. As a hobby, I was blogging about my favorite restaurants and places to go in NYC. After having children, I realized that Wall Street was not my calling and started AskMelissa, a lifestyle resource and newsletter. I am a big believer that leading a happy life is about finding something you are passionate about and sharing it with others. Balance and surrounding yourself with quality people are so important too. Besides eating yummy meals with my husband, children and close friends, I love spending time outside. I enjoy tennis, horseback riding, hiking, spinning, skiing, and stand-up paddle boarding at the beach (relocating to LA from NYC was a dream come true). My husband is extremely supportive of me and all my endeavors, and we have two amazing teenage children and an adorable shih tzu, Cinnamon. I am so excited to share all my best-kept fashion, beauty and lifestyle secrets with you. I hope you enjoy my personally curated blog and look forward to your comments!

Behind the scenes at yesterday’s beautiful Westman Atelier event celebrating the launch of the NEW Suprême Bio-Complex Liquid Foundation Sephora ❤️😊
The room was filled with so many incredible beauty creators, and we were treated to a master class with founder and renowned makeup artist Gucci Westman.💄
I first met Gucci years ago backstage at Fashion Week, when she was with Revlon and doing the makeup for Rag & Bone, so it was wonderful to see her again after all these years—and to watch her demonstrate her newest formula.
We were each color-matched and learned Gucci’s expert techniques for creating that signature Westman Atelier complexion: natural, polished and luminous.
On first impression, this foundation feels great on the skin and looks beautiful!
I can’t wait to put it to the full test and share my honest review with you soon! 💫

Today, we hold remembrance and renewal side by side.
Twenty-five years after September 11th, we pause to honor the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the courage and unity we witnessed in the days that followed. We will never forget. May their memories always be a blessing. 🤍
And as the sun sets and Rosh Hashanah begins, we welcome a new year—a time to reflect, begin again, and choose hope even when the world feels heavy.
Wishing you a sweet, peaceful and meaningful New Year. Shana Tova. 🍎🍯
Beautiful skin isn’t built overnight… it’s built every day. 🤍
✨ Apply SPF—even when it’s cloudy

✨ Moisturize your body while your skin is still damp
✨ Prioritize protein, hydration and nourishing foods
✨ Move your body to support circulation and strength
✨ Protect your sleep—it’s one of beauty’s best-kept secrets
✨ Manage stress whenever you can; your skin feels it too
✨ Choose consistency over perfection
✨ Speak kindly to the woman in the mirror
✨ Never apologize for aging—it’s a privilege
At 61, I know the real glow comes from how we care for ourselves, day after day.
Save this as your reminder: the little things you do today become your glow tomorrow. ✨
