Wearing white post-Labor Day has not been as controversial as it has been when I was growing up where the rule was pretty much tough. Wear white after Memorial Day. Don’t wear white after Labor Day. Now that the weather is pretty unpredictable, I’m thinking anything goes, especially with fashion. Here’s my take on how to wear white in the fall. This post contains affiliate links for easy shopping! I’m…
Fall is one of the best times to visit the Wildlife Conservation Society’s zoos and aquarium. As the crowds thin and the weather cools, the animals become more active and exciting to watch. Here’s a look at a few of the wonderful activities and educational programs coming up this fall at the WCS’ five facilities. Bronx Zoo The Himalayan Highlands Exhibit The zoo is happy to have two new…
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!! You know what I’m talking about: it’s back-to-school time! Although we love the lazy days of summer, I am looking forward to this time for the consistency and predictability that the school year comes with. And what better way to celebrate with a stylish back to school party with Minted! Minted is the world’s premier market place for independent design. They find amazing artists…
Ever since I turned the Big 4-0, I’ve decided to fight, kicking and screaming against those terrible wrinkles. I did go to the dermatologist and asked them to write a prescription for Retin-A. I used it for about 3-4 months, but it really is too aggressive for my skin. (I do use Retin-A about once a week.) But, what I’ve found is that I like using StriVectin products simply because…
Although I’ve been getting emails for Halloween costumes (on sale!) and it is back-to-school season for half of the United States, it’s still summer out and that means wearing white denim still looks fresh, and seasonally appropriate. I love pairing white denim with denim, and my chambray shirt is a go-to piece in my closet. I like rolling up my sleeves for a super-casual look, and I love being able…
A lot of you know that I’ve been a HUGE barre3 fan for the past year. I’ve been an online barre3.com member since last October and have faithfully done their online workouts in the comfort of my own home. But now…I am so excited to say, barre3 has opened up its newest flagship: barre3 West Village in my town, New York City! I was invited to barre3 West Village’s media week…
Our family is very excited to watch the Winter Olympics this year more so than other years. First of all, our daughters have become winter sports lover themselves. We’ve gone on several ski trips, most recently to the ski resorts around the Salt Lake City area. During that trip, our family was lucky enough to get VIP passes to the Olympic Qualifiers for the Nordic and Ski Jumping events, where spots…
It’s August and that means it’s time to start thinking about…FALL BOOTS! I’ve been through this before. I’ve fallen in love with a pair of boots and decided that it’s too warm to even think about buying them. Then it’s October and the pair of boots that I madly fell in love with are GONE. Or they don’t have my size. So, dear reader, I am sparing you the fashion…
We haven’t had a vacuum in over 7 years. We had one that was the right size for our New York City apartment, but it had a cord and had this bag that captured all the disgusting dirt and dust that it sucked up, but when it was full, I had to empty it (which I never did) and buy more bags (which I also never did). It just wasn’t…
Did you know that more than 35,000 elephants are killed by poachers each year for their ivory? World Elephant Day is August 12th and I am supporting the Wildlife Conservation Society’s 96 Elephants campaign, and you should, too! The campaign focuses on protecting forest elephants from extinction through awareness and legislation and to stop the killing, demand and trafficking of elephant ivory.
