Jennifer Noel

Jen is an employment attorney who loves working with people and hearing their stories. She is married and has 2 daughters who keep her busy and are super fun (especially now that they are a little older and into make-up and shopping)! Jen is also very involved in her suburban Boston community as she is an active participant in town politics. She has been elected to her town’s school committee for the past 10 years. Traveling is a passion of hers and she enjoys packing and shopping for a trip almost as much as the trip itself. She is an avid basketball fan, having gone to Villanova with both Lauret and their younger brother Greg. She and her family have enjoyed traveling to watch the Wildcats in tournaments such as the Final Four and Big East. Jen grew up in New Jersey where she claims to have gotten her attitude and a love of Bon Jovi. Her other passions include reading, writing, photography, great food, and the 80’s. She sometimes wishes we were still living then, since life seemed much simpler, although the fashion was questionable! Her favorite vacation destinations are Santorini, Greece and Italy – especially Lake Como and the Amalfi Coast. Limoncello please!

Lauret Renée

A Libra with a creative flair, Lauret spends her days as an advertising executive for healthcare companies, combining her love of marketing and wellness. Most importantly, Lauret has 3 children, 2 boys and a girl, who keep her on her toes. She is a full-fledged #boymom and can frequently be found rooting them on at basketball, football, lacrosse, or soccer. At the same time, she and her daughter love to practice their favorite sport of shopping, together. Their outings often end with a boba tea and a pedicure, as her little girl is her true mini-me. When not traveling or blogging, Lauret loves to cook for her family as well as close friends. She is constantly inventing new recipes and is an amateur mixologist and cheese and charcuterie-board maker. The latter 2 are often featured at her house parties, as she loves to entertain. Besides bringing people together, Lauret also enjoys all things design: fashion, home decorating, gardening, and photography. She channels her energies into these hobbies, as well as cheering on her beloved Villanova Wildcats. Lauret and her children often attend basketball games, and she loves going to concerts. And if all of that isn’t enough activity, Lauret can often be found running, quite literally, in 5Ks around northern NJ where she and her family reside. Her favorite place to visit, besides New York City, is a charming coastal town (Newport, Avalon, Montauk, Del Mar, Martha’s Vineyard).
