about me
Welcome to my blog, my name is Lindsey aka modchik. A former Operations Manager with a strong desire to CREATE. In 2009 I decided my 9-5 job wasn't working for me (or my two kids). I traded my calculator for a camera and began building a blog. By the end of 2010 modchik-photography happened. I have a penchant for good recipes, strong coffee, iPhoneography, mid-century modernism, fashion trends, astrology and Pinterest. I get to talk about all of that here. I promise you'll never be bored.

12 Days of Giveaway | Boscia Travel Skincare Set
Today I am sharing with you one of my favorite skin care lines Boscia. I discovered the line back in 2004 while my girlfriend and I were doing a little holiday shopping. I came across this line described to me as a skincare line from Japan that was botanically-based and preservative-free. Being a person with sensitive and problematic skin I was elated there were no perfumes, ingredients were plant based and the night cream wasn’t 100 dollars an ounce.  The first product … Continue reading

Usually a good give away would woo us … throw in some samples and you pretty much have our number … Continue reading

A Juicy Bite
Sitting down the other day at Pinkberry inhaling my Coconut fro-yo topped  with toasted almonds, dark chocolate crisps & strawberries I picked up a new scent. Now normally when I am eating I do not like any foreign smells invading the personal space (you Shalimar wearing folks kill me).  I have an uber sensitive nose when it comes to food especially, I can smell bread molding inside the bag INSIDE THE CABINET, yea I know annoying isn’t it? Well this smell it was divine….. … Continue reading
