So one of my absolute favorite cocktails is the “longberry” from the Gramercy Park Hotel down the street from my apartment. Not only is this hotel completely gorgeous, but the two bars are as well and the drinks may be pricey but they are delicious. Jade and Rose bar both charge $19 for this cocktail…yeah, I know, but luckily I’ve figured out the concoction and attempted to make it this weekend. It was quite the success.
The picture at left is an image of how the hotel makes it…let’s just say my version wasn’t as pretty, but it got the job done.
– Fresh raspberries and blackberries – Stoli raspberry vodka – Prosecco – fresh lemon juice
So I’ve never really liked using full-fledged foundation. I think it’s because my skin is very fair with freckles and whenever I’ve tried using a thicker foundation, it always end up looking fake and totally covers my freckles, which I’ve really grown to love. Anyhow, there are three tinted moisturizers that I’ve recently tried and am completely obsessed with. Tinted moisturizers are great for people like myself who need a little coverage to even out skin tone but who prefer a more natural look. Check out my faves below.
Clinique even better makeup SPF 15: Not quite a tinted moisturizer but might as well be with the results. This oil-free product improves the clarity of skin, helps improve clarity and diminish age spots in just 4 to 6 weeks time.
this longwearing liquid mineral makeup is infused with vitamins, minerals and the exclusive R.E.C. (Radiance Emitting Crystals –a unique complex of Amethyst, Rose Quartz and Calcite) to give skin extra luminosity.
Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15: This light-weight tinted moisturizer hydrates skin and imparts a natural-looking hint of color, oompa loompas need not apply. The SPF 15 is an added bonus for some superior sun protection.
So my obsession for all things Rachel Zoe has now be reinforced by her new Web site and her new email newsletter, The Zoe Report. Make sure you check out her Web site and sign up for the newsletter…one can only dream what fashion and style lovers will have in store. It’s totally bananas. I die. Ok, that was cheesy.
So it’s summer time…officially anyway (let’s not discuss the rain sitch in NY) and I’m a big water drinker normally but as everyone knows, it’s super important to make sure you’re hydrated during the hot months. There’s something so zen-like to me about adding sliced cucumbers to your water. Doesn’t it just scream luxury spa? And it’s so simple. I’m totally making cucumber water this holiday weekend and passing it off as the “food” I’m bringing to my sister’s apartment. She’ll thank me later. It’s totally diet friendly!
So Thrillist.com is holding a “Dirtiest Apartment” contest. How did I not think of this idea? Brilliant. You can win cash prizes (up to $1,000!) just for being a complete dirtball. Check out the details HERE.
