Lately, i’ve been pondering what makes me smile…

…identifying the smallest things that will give me a moment of joy. The first few bars of the perfect song that shuffles onto my playlist, forgotten and sweet and just right... or the burn of too much wasabi on a veggie roll, the result of my culinary bravado and swagger... or taking a great picture, really capturing what my eye sees in the shot... or just enjoying the Hopper-esque golden light out a plane window, the shadows of every structure visible as the sun drops down behind the horizon... and so much more. Paying attention to those moments gets me through my days and makes me want others to have the same.

After 6+ years of traveling every week, I am grounded. Cooking, writing, photography, gardening… creating is zen for me and a welcome distraction from today’s world of uncertainty. Paired with some Latin Jazz and a nice glass of red, white or rosé, and I know we’ll make it through. Miel et Savon is my creative outlet, a mix of all those things I love, a reminder of the good stuff. The honey and the soap… what you want and what you need. Enjoy.
