FEATURED FIND
Jeannie Ralston says, “A good travel wrap is essential on most any trip. I found this beautiful cashmere number on sale at Bloomingdale’s. $99, down from $218. It comes in 9 colors and is elegant and warm at the same time. Wear it on the plane to keep off the chill and add it over your buffer jacket for an extra layer of warmth.”

What Counts as a Successful Referral?
A referral is only counted as successful when:
Someone signs up using your unique referral link
They confirm their subscription by clicking the confirmation link in the opt-in email they receive
Once they confirm, one successful referral will be recorded.
Why Do We Require Confirmation?
To keep the referral program fair and meaningful, we only count referrals from real, engaged subscribers. This ensures that rewards are earned by genuine participation, not bots or fake signups.
