  • BEAUTY HOTSPOT| BERENICE ELECTROLYSIS & PERSONAL BEAUTY CENTER

    I’ve only been to one salon on the Upper East Side. Many times it seemed that all the new hipper places were downtown, but lately have come to find a few longtime hidden gems above East 59th. My latest find is Berenice Electrolysis and Personal Beauty Center. Founded and owned by Berenice S. Rothenberg, BEPBC…

  • BEAUTY HOTSPOT| SPA@THETHIRDSPACE

    There’s no better way to relax than at a spa, but finding one while you’re away from home can be more difficult than one would like to admit. Last season during London Fashion Week, I was fortunate to come across a beauty hotspot called spa@thethirdspace. Apart of the Marylebone Hotel, spa@thethirdspace is a tranquil environment…

  • RESTAURANT HOTSPOT| 108 MARYLEBONE LANE

    Last season was my first time doing London Fashion Week, and my first time returning since I was roughly 7. Navigating the city isn’t the same, shopping is very much different, and shuttling from one village to another with only a map, felt like finding a needle in a haystack. But my half-day break at…

  • FINAL WEEK @ CROSSFIT NYC

    It’s over. My final week of CrossFit is over. Well it actually ended last week due to New York Fashion Week taking over my life. It’s only day two and I’d trade all my show tickets for one night stay in a hotel with all the fixins’. But I won’t. Back to CrossFit. I’m one…

  • HIP & HEALTHY| NOURISH YOUR SOUL BY SUSAN CABANA

    No better way to start the day or end it for that matter, than with a fresh made juice. A faster growing trend like CrossFit, hula hooping and marathon running, juicing is a delicious way to get calm that sweet tooth without the extra sugars and fats. That’s why we had Nourish Your Soul founder,…

  • LADY TECH TUESDAY| TOSHIBA

    Almost every year, I purchase a new computer. Not because I enjoy shelling out nearly $1000 for the latest and greatest, but because they don’t live up to expectations. The hard drives slips out of place. The screen cracks. The computer is roughed around in the overhead cabin. All things that make it difficult to…

  • VALENTINE’S DAY GIFT IDEAS + STYLECARTEL GIVEAWAY

    Very few holidays were enjoyable for me growing up. Valentine’s being my least favorite. It was that overly mushy made up day of love, that was so cliché and red, that it made me sick to my stomach. Now that I’m older and a little wiser, every day is Valentine’s Day to me. But since…

  • BEAUTY HOTSPOT| UNI K WAX

    It’s that time of year when we want to do nothing else but hibernate. Bundle up under our covers in our jammies and wake to bloomed tulips, birds singing and lots of hair. But since we aren’t bears and have lives to live and jobs to do, our upkeep has to stay on point. So…

  • HIP & HEALTHY| JCPENNY X KARINA SMIRNOFF

    Dancing with the Stars Karina Smirnoff hosted JCPenney’s New Year, New You Fitness Event at the JCPenney’s showroom in SoHo. Decked out in JCPenny’s Xersion and CityStreets Activewear lines, Karina led dance aerobic classes that had our heart pumping and muscles screaming. As Smirnoff yelled positive affirmations to keep our spirits high and prevent us from slacking in the…

  • WEEK 3 AND 4: LEAVE FEARS AT THE DOOR

    So this is a mash up of Week 3 Elements and Week 1 Beginners. Still doing the 6AM workout as why change when you’ve already gotten into a routine of getting up at a particular time. Though I still see Michael MWF, and have a class filled with many of my Elements classmates, there are…

  • RESTAURANT HOTSPOT|MAID CAFE NY

    Restaurant Hotspot, Maid Café NY, is far from your everyday establishment. Brought to my attention after SNLs Weekend Update jab, this restaurant of young women in French maid costumes is nothing like they’d hoped you’d interpret it to be like. It’s upbeat, “kawaii” hangout serves typical Japanese fast food. And it’s not your normal fast…

  • WHEN IN LISBON PART II

    A great way to really get to know a city is by visiting their museums. Known to house historical pieces of culture, it’s a great way to understand your surroundings, one’s way of life and sometimes personal traits. For instance, people of particular regions of a country can speak the native tongue in differential manners…
