I know that the fashion industry is in full-on Spring mode, but the reality is that it’s been under 26 degrees in New York City for the past week. And we are all over it. Right? Aren’t you? There’s only so much you can do to look cute and chic while temperatures are plummeting. When I’m dropping the girls off at school, and going to work, or going out for…
Since we went on holiday for Christmas break, we celebrated Christmas with my parents after New Year’s eve – about three weeks after the fact. I wanted a hearty, savory, and easy-to-make brunch meal for all of us. On a random afternoon that I was home early and with no kids in tow, I was watching the Food Network channel and Giada De Laurentiis was on. She was making this…
The theme this January continues with looking and feeling young as I head into my forties at the end of the month. So, it was quite timely that I was invited to the Momtrends Pantene Expert Launch Event. Pantene launched their Pantene Expert Collection with two lines: Pantene Expert AgeDefy Shampoo and Conditioner and Pantene Expert Keratin Repair. The AgeDefy system helps thicken existing hair strands and therefore helps the…
As I wrote in December, we went to Arizona for the winter holidays. The first half was spent with family in southern Arizona in 75+ degree weather. For the second half of the holidays, we headed north to Flagstaff, Arizona, for winter activities (including SKIING — YES! There IS skiing in Arizona – but that’s going to be another post.) We chose Flagstaff, locally known as “Flag”, for its proximity to…
Torly Kid, a TriBeCa boutique that sells apparel, accessories and a curated selection of toys for tots to tweens, will host a crafts festival to raise funds for the New York Aquarium, which is still closed due to the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy. The fun kids event will take place on Sunday, January 26th at the Torly Kid store at 51 Hudson Street in TriBeCa. Your kids will take…
This past weekend, we went to my good friend’s husband’s 50th Birthday party. First of all, I can’t believe I have friends who are married to 50-year olds, but I guess that goes with the territory of leaving being in my 40’s. The party was fabulous. I was able to see so many old friends and co-workers, talk and laugh about our good ol’ corporate marketing days. Loved seeing them…
As you know, I’m turning 40 this month. I can’t believe I’m turning 40, my parents can’t believe I’m turning 40, and my one brother, Andrew, can’t stop reminding me that I’m turning 40. I have worked on not looking 40 for a few months by trying (key word here) to eat healthier, working out a bit more and using product that helps soon-to-be-40-year-skin look younger. Luckily, the smart people…
Goodbye 2012. Hello 2013. With that, I’m saying Goodbye to my 30′s and Hello to my 40′s. It’s interesting to have a January birthday: it’s the beginning of a new year and I get to celebrate a birthday which inevitably makes me reflect on the past while looking forward to the future — and in this case, celebrate The Big 4-0 as well. Fact: I am excited to turning forty. It’s…
This weekend, I celebrated my 40th Birthday with an intimate dinner with 18 of my closest friends, most of whom I’ve had the pleasure of twenty to thirty-five years worth of friendship. I was struggling with what to wear. I wanted to dress up, but be comfortable. I also didn’t want to spend a ton of money simply because it was my 40th. I came up with the perfect outfit:…
Next week, we’ll be heading out to southern Arizona for some family time and then after the holidays, a side trip up to Flagstaff, Arizona for post-holiday winter activities. We have never been to Flagstaff and are excited to explore this city. What I love most about Flagstaff is that there is a host of outdoor winter activities – including skiing – in Flagstaff. I contacted the Flagstaff, Arizona Visitors…
