One Line a Day...

2013-04-25T08:41:00.001-04:00

I've always been fond of the idea of keeping a journal. It would be so lovely to have one book with all my past life's events written down. However, does anyone really have time at the end of the day to write a page or two about what happened to them? I have had so many good times in my life, I'm pretty sure that I only remember 40% of them - that is upsetting to me! A diary is a great way to jot down one's daily adventures and emotions, but ain't nobody got time for that!!

At the end of the day, I barely have the energy to swipe my makeup off my face, let alone write about all the happenings in my day.

That's why when I discovered the "One Line a Day" memory book, I knew it was perfect. It is a five year memory book, and is designed so that you only have the space for a sentence or two per day! Just enough space to write down your main thoughts on the day.

I also love how it is designed so that you see what happened on the same day for five years.

If you have time to check Facebook before you go to sleep, then you definitely have the time to keep up with this memory book.

And now my favorite adventures will not be forgotten!

Do you keep a diary or journal? Do you feel that regular diaries are too time consuming?

Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall

2013-04-18T08:52:00.001-04:00

It seems that colorful mirrored sunnies have made their mark in the blogger world, and in my brain as well! Because as soon as I started seeing these playful glasses pop up on my Google reader, I couldn't get them out of my head.

As seen on Fe Sena...

On The Blonde Salad...

And on Cupcakes and Cashmere...

So of course I had to go out and get a pair of my own!

Needless to say, I'm obsessed. I've been thankful for all the sunny weather we've been having so I can wear these bad boys to my heart's content.

What is your favorite summer trend you've seen so far?

Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity Jig

2013-04-10T10:24:00.002-04:00

On Monday morning I boarded a flight bound from Florence to Rome to New York and landed at JFK early in the afternoon. My first full day back was devoted to settling in, working out a balance to adjusting to life here while keeping half a mind back in Italy and savoring my favorite little parts of being home again, home again, jiggity jig.

An Italian Easter

2013-04-04T09:12:00.002-04:00

I celebrated my first Italian holiday here this past weekend. Though I’ve lived in Italy for almost two years at this point, I’m usually home in the States for the bigger holidays so I was pretty excited to see how they do it up for Easter around these parts.

To start, I don’t have any cousins and when it came to family events growing up, the kids only ever consisted of my brother, sister and me. In contrast, Nicco has so many cousins that I’ve still yet to meet them all. Merely a fraction of his family gathered on Sunday, yet we were still a larger group than I’m used to and it was wonderful to be surrounded by all the loving, fussing, laughing and loudness.

Oh, and eating. To say there was a ton of delicious food would be an understatement. We started off with Tuscan pate, a variety of crostini and boiled Easter eggs that had been blessed by a priest. We ate lasagna for the first plate and then spare ribs and sausage and salad for the second.

For dessert, we blissfully devoured profiteroles and Colomba, the Easter bread. We toasted with spumante, complemented the meal with wine and polished off the sweets with champagne. I’m not exaggerating when I say I think we sat at that table for about 4 hours and I wasn't even mad about the food baby that took up residence in my stomach for the remainder of the evening.

[Overlooking Prato]

Presented with a beautiful spring day, we stepped outside after lunch to simultaneously digest the cuisine we had consumed and the sprawling landscape. As if keeping company with amazing people and incredible food wasn’t enough, there were gorgeous views upon which to feast our eyes as well.

If holidays are measured by a happy stomach and a happy mind (which in my opinion they are), I'd say this one was a definite success.

Night for Newtown at Fenway Park

2013-04-02T08:37:00.001-04:00

A couple weeks ago I drove up to Boston for an incredible event. A group of people that I attended high school with, organized a fundraiser for Newtown. The purpose of the gathering was to raise money for a children's museum in Newtown.

I convinced my sista from another mista, Jamie, to purchase a ticket as well. Our night started out as a typical "Jamie-Corey" evening - with some redbull based beverages, obv!

And it's just not a classic girl's night until we take a dozen selfies.

A short cab ride and we were right outside of the stadium! Although it was a bit chilly, it was a gorgeous evening.

The event itself was held in the State Street Pavilion, which was an impressive indoor venue with an amazing view of the field.

The food was amazing! Delicious appetizers were passed around, in addition to all the "classic" stadium food - hot dogs, pulled pork sliders, and pizza! Not to mention all the beer and wine!

There was an amazing turnout. The event was completely sold out - 700 tickets!

I caught up with one of my best friends from high school, and one of the organizers of these great evening, Will Jacob!

There was a band that played all night long - the music was great. Jamie and I danced off all those appetizers.

Free tours were offered of the stadium! It was so cool being able to walk around Fenway without the crowds.

We even got a peak inside the pressroom! It gave me chills to see my town's name up on the stadium screens.

Jamie and I decided we had enough of the organized tour, and decided to sneak off a bit on our own. I mean - when else would we be within Fenway Stadium and have the opportunity to explore a bit?

We found a desk and obviously decided it was a great place to do some glamour shots.

We eventually found our way back to the rest of the group, and took some more pictures by the empty stadium.

It's like the event organizers read my mind, and knew I loved to end my evenings with a taste of sweet! All attendees were invited to take a cupcake (red velvet) for the road. Or just shove it in your mouth while still in the building.

It was truly a magical evening and I'm so glad I made the drive up for it. My fellow Newtown High alumni put so much work into this event and it showed. Everything went perfectly and it was a night I will never forget.

And obviously what is a weekend in Boston without a delicious brunch? Jamie and I met up with her boyfriend, Paul, who took us to the Highland Kitchen for brunch. It was delicious and extremely necessary after our previous night.

We went with all the brunch necessities: bloody mary's, beignets, and biscuits.

Brunch was phenomenal and the company was even better. A wicked Boston weekend, for sure!

Prime Time

2013-03-28T08:00:00.000-04:00

Okay ladies. Lets talk primer. Do you use it? I started using the miracle product a couple years ago. My mom received a Bare Minerals starter kit, and in it was a small tube of their primer. We dabbed some onto our fingertips, and rubbed the product into the backs of our hands.

It absorbed almost instantly and left the skin feeling so soft and smooth. I was hooked from that point on.

Primer is the product that I put on after my moisturizer has been absorbed, but before I put on my foundation. It's great for helping your makeup stay in place, and blend evenly. It helps give your face a fresh, finished look.

I've tried my fair share of primers...

Some significantly more expensive than others *cough (laura mercier) cough*. They've all done their jobs well, however I was most impressed (out of the above) with e.l.f.'s brand! Which, ironically, was the cheapest! Hellooooo six bucks!

It works well on all skin types (oily, dry), it helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores, and it makes the application of makeup oh so much easier.

I literally have nothing bad to say about this product, and I will be definitely buying it again.

Do you use primer? Do you have any products that you love and are inexpensive?

Monaco

2013-03-27T08:41:00.000-04:00

I was hanging around on Friday afternoon, reading a book and waiting to go to the gym when Nicco came rushing into the room and excitedly asked, “Wanna go to Monaco this weekend?!” He usually has to work on Saturday mornings, but had this particular one off and so we decided on a spontaneous little road trip over the border.

It’s been raining like crazy here the past couple weeks and this weekend was no exception, but even beneath the rain, Monaco knows how to shine. There are certain streets of Monte Carlo that legitimately sparkle, the glitz of which was only magnified by the drizzle.

[yachts on yachts on yachts]

The moment we drove into Monaco, a Ferrari sped past and then another right after. It’s the home of an annual Formula 1 race and though the streets are winding and somewhat confusing, Nicco knew exactly where to go as a result of driving on those same streets on Playstation so many times. Kinda weird, right?

Monte Carlo is the wealthiest quarter and it’s like entering into another, richer world. It’s like a little Las Vegas on the sea. There’s an enormous, intricately decorated casino, which we frequented one night. Parked outside were Ferraris, Maseratis, Bentleys, every fancy car imaginable, the cheapest of which were Mercedes. Never in my life have I seen so many high-end, luxury vehicles, let alone in one parking lot.

Monaco is also home to Grace Kelly, who married into royalty and became the Princess of Monaco.

[Our hotel overlooked the stadium of Monaco where Champions League and UEFA league games have played. The stadium is in Monaco, but our hotel just across the street is in France]

[This is the fastest straightaway in the Monte Carlo Formula 1 race]

I hope next time we visit Monaco it lends us a little sunshine, but rain or shine, it's beautiful all the same!

Wait, what? -- Kombucha Edition

2013-03-21T08:55:00.003-04:00

The other day on my lunch break I was wandering (typs, typs) around my local health food store, looking for something to satiate my tummy, also lovingly referred to as my bottomless pit. I walked by the refrigerated section and stumbled upon a group of drinks called GT's Kombucha. I'm a big health blog reader, so these beverages were familiar - but did I really have any idea what organic raw kombucha was? No, of course not. Did I buy the mystery drink to try? Yes, obviously!

I purchased a couple flavors - with the "multi-green" one being my first victim. Once back at my office, I grabbed the bottle and noticed that there was some separation of ingredients going on in there -- little specks floating about. I gave the bottle a few good shakes to mix everything up. It was at that exact moment I read on the bottle "DO NOT SHAKE."

Alright then, off to a great start.

I twisted off the cap and heard the distinct sound of carbonation - did I just purchase a soda by accident?? I took a sniff of the murky juice - it smelt like vinegar.

So it was bubbly vinegar. Not exactly what I was hoping for. I decided to just go for it (hey-I did a juice cleanse, I can do anything!!)

I took a sip. Initial reaction? This stuff is weiiiirdddd. Not bad. Not super delicious. Just...weird.

I continued sipping because I'm a trooper! And by the end of the bottle - I was enjoying the stuff! It's got a bit of sweetness to it, and a nice effervescence I enjoyed. Sort of like a champagne.

By the end of the bottle I was taking large gulps. It tasted healthy and I was enjoying it. Not to mention all the health benefits the bottle boasts...

On the bottle itself it informs you that the beverage aids in digestion, metabolism, immune system, appetite control, weight control, liver function, body alkalinity, anti-aging, cell integrity, and healthy skin & hair. It's also a great source of non dairy probiotics.

Kombucha comes in many flavors. I was informed by a friend of mine that I had actually chosen the worst flavor - whoops! I've got a strawberry one to try next that will hopefully make up for that.

Have you ever tried Kombucha? What are your thoughts on this strange beverage?

Washington D.C.

2013-03-19T08:46:00.000-04:00

Alex and I took a road trip down to Washington D.C. this past weekend! Alex had never been and although I have been a couple times, it was never to check out the monuments or museums. An educational trip was necessary! We went through the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the International Spy Museum, had some great meals here and here, took a bike tour, and just all around had a great time. Below are only a fraction of the photos I took (I'm a camera whore), hope you enjoy!

All in the Bag

2013-03-18T08:57:00.000-04:00

If there’s one accessory I’m typically willing to splurge on, it’s purses. They’re easily my weakness, but in my opinion, they're also an investment piece. Something that if purchased wisely, could last for years and years and outfits upon outfits and maybe even generations.

To be clear, however, when I say splurge, I mean it in the TJ Maxx/Marshalls sense of the word. When I’m home in the States, Corey and I will usually make a day of hitting up the local stores and while we make sure to cover the full territory of the retail space, our quest generally comes down to one thing: the bags.

We ~~probably~~ definitely don’t need a new bag, but nevertheless we’ll search and we’ll likely find a purse to obsess over and then the rationalizing and peer pressure and support kicks in.

With a visit back to the States around the corner, my mind can't help wandering to the purses I can only hope to find:

Kate Spade Clutch
Marc Jacobs Hobo
Michael Kors Satchel
Tory Burch Adjustable Mini Bag
Michael Kors Shoulder Flap
Kate Spade Cross Body
Zara Evening Bag

What do you usually find yourself splurging on? Is there one fashion piece that you favor over another?

DIY Gel Mani

2013-03-14T08:50:00.000-04:00

A lot of you expressed interest in the gel manicure at home kits when I posted this picture on ATST last Friday so I figured I’d share what I know.

I first heard about the wonder of the DIY gel mani last summer when Corey and I went to visit our friend Fields (last name) in her new apartment. We had a date with NYC that night, but not before Fields excitedly listed off the advantages to doing a gel mani yourself and thereafter successfully peer pressured me into trying it out immediately. Peer pressure is Fields’s thing and she’s really really good at it.

[This is Fields's back. Ironing is her therapy. This is my trapped face. Please note the necessary nearby cocktail]

Granted it was my first time (and I didn't do a very good job) but it definitely took me way longer than what Fields had originally said. I think I sat there for an hour wishing I could start getting ready for the night.

I received my own home gel manicure kit this past Christmas and though it took some getting used to, I’m happy to say my skills have since improved significantly.

I use a Hetien kit, but the steps are generally the same for all at-home kits and the instructions will clearly state the easy step-by-step process.

Gather your supplies. Cut, file and buff your nails to your liking. Push those cuticles in.
Wipe off your nails with a cotton ball and paint a thin coat of the PH primer to get your nails ready.
Paint a thin base coat (Glossy 2 in 1 for Hetien) and cure for 120 seconds. The amount of time will depend on what type of kit you have.
Paint one coat of your chosen nail color and cure for 120 seconds.
Paint a second coat and cure again.
Paint a coat of top coat (for Hetien it’s the Glossy 2 in 1 again) and cure.
Wipe your nails to get rid of the tacky residue (you can use a gel cleanser for this).

[I thank air travel for the lovely gold splatter that so beautifully covers half my polishes]

Since I enjoy my substantial nail polish collection, I often just use regular nail polish. It works just the same, but there’s no need to cure after painting it on. Just let it dry as you normally would. For this one, I used Essie's Russian Roulette.

I asked Fields if she had any tips and she said her number one tip would be to “cap” the nail. You know how when you get a gel mani at the salon the tips are wider than your nails are on their own? If you paint the width of the tips, just a straight line across, it’ll give this effect and keep them from chipping.

Paint in thin coats. Seriously important.

If you get gel on your skin or cuticles, make sure to wipe it off before curing. Otherwise you’ll be stuck with it, you'll look like a hot mess, your nails are more likely to peel or chip and if you’re like me, you’ll probably end up picking at your nails as a result.

If you’re looking for a good at-home gel mani kit, I’d recommend Sensational. It’s the one Fields uses and has a LED lamp, which dries faster than a UV lamp. The starter kit comes with everything you need and you can find it at CVS or Walmart or probably any of those similar type stores.

Have you ever tried doing a gel mani at home? Any other tips you'd like to share?

I saw this collection of photographs, by Murad Osmann, and I honestly can't get them out of my head! I am in love with these pictures.

The concept is perfect - the photographer's girlfriend is leading him around the world.

If you peruse the internet often, there is a chance you've already seen these photos, but I couldn't help but add them to our blog - I don't want to forget them!

It's a collection of simple shots, yet they are brimming with curiosity, culture, mystery and wonder. Not to mention, she's got a killer manicure in every picture!!

Do you like this photographer's style?

A Twist on Cheesecake

2013-03-11T08:00:00.001-04:00

It rained all last week. It was gray and gross out and it was as if the weather was just daring me to stay in my pajamas for as long as I could stand to.

Then Saturday morning came around and though it was still drizzling gently outside, the sun was shining, the temperature had risen and as soon as I opened up the windows, the smell of fresh, crisp spring air sailed through the house.

It may not yet be spring and it may not yet technically be strawberry season, but it was the perfect morning to make a warm weather treat and so that is what I did.

[Rinse]

[Cut]

[Hollow out]

[Fill]

[Dip]

[And...done!]

I used this recipe, which has a total of 5 ingredients, and quickly created the perfect little bite-size snack that puts a somewhat healthy twist on strawberry cheesecake. Since graham crackers aren't available in Italy, I switched them out for digestives.

Don't Distress, De-stress!

2013-03-07T08:02:00.000-05:00

Sometimes life gets a little stressful. Like when I realize I’m now an actual adult (my mom said 25 is officially adulthood so I guess it’s pretty final) and I now have to deal with actual adult things. Boo, get outta here, adulthood, I don't like you!

So I sat down yesterday and made some bullet points of things that have been floating around in my head making me feel a little crazy. And then I tried to start getting rid of some of those things, which made me want to just sit on the couch with a spoonful of Nutella and maybe cry a little.

And okay maybe I let myself have a teaspoon or two of that sweet, hazelnut-chocolatey goodness before getting a grip and deciding to de-stress in other ways (than through innutritious "comfort" food, that’ll really be anything but comforting sitting in my stomach later).

These are the little things that I do when in need of a refresh button:

Drink a hot cup of water with lemon. It’s energizing, cleansing and aids in digestion
Yoga, or even just a bit of stretching
Smile! Even if you don’t feel like smiling or think it's super awkward to sit by yourself smiling (because it is), just do it! It sends out endorphins and tricks your brain into being happy! Sneaky body. (Sidenote: I can't say the word sneaky without thinking of this - skip to 2:45 for the best part)
Listen to music
Take a hot bath or shower
Get out in the sun and go for a walk

Buy some pretty flowers for your desk!

If you ever played The Sims when you were younger, you might remember that their environment level went up when you added some plants to a room. It works for us as humans too! Plants have a calming effect and flowers offer aromatherapy as well.

Trade massages with your friend or boyfriend or whomever. Mutual de-stressing!
Eat foods like fish, walnuts, almonds, green veggies, or other seeds and nuts.

I'm no nutritionist, but they’re high in omega-3 fatty acids/magnesium, which are said to be calming.
Also, you’ll feel better as a result of eating better, which will make you feel good. Whereas if you go straight for the chocolate, you’ll feel worse and then you’ll stress out that you just stress ate. Amiright?

Unplug. If you can, give yourself a certain amount of time that you’re not going to check email or your phone or social media or whatever technological device has you currently captivated.
Do something fun that will take your mind off of your life stressors, like reading a book or playing a game
Drink green tea

Open the window and breathe in the fresh spring air!
Exercise – not intensely, just a light workout to get the body moving and those endorphins pumping

What about you? What are your favorite tricks to de-stressing when life gets a little crazy?

Cleansing Conditioner

2013-03-06T08:54:00.000-05:00

You ever read about other people's hair care routines and just think - how do they do that? Like you'll see a girl with gorgeous long hair, ask her what her secret is, and I bet she will tell you that she almost never shampoos her hair! Sounds gross right?

So, if you want gorgeous, healthy locks - don't clean your hair.

Ok, understood. But what about us girls that feel like complete grease monkeys if we skip one day of shampooing? Or how about when our hair is soaked in sweat after our daily gym trip? How can you NOT use shampoo?

I have found the solution!

Cleansing conditioner is a totally new (and brilliant) concept to me! It rids your hair of grease, dirt, and sweat, without (technically) shampooing it! And it conditions.

I have been using this for the past week and thanks to this miracle product I've only had to shampoo my hair TWICE. My hair doesn't feel greasy or dirty at all, it smells glorious, it dries soft and manageable, and it has shortened my showering routine!

There are many other brands of cleansing conditioner but I love L'Oreal's sulfate free line of shampoos and conditioners already, so I thought, why not give this cleansing conditioner a try! Plus, the price can't be beat (under six bucks!!).

Have you ever tried a cleansing conditioner?

Chocolate Greek Yogurt Cake

2013-03-05T08:00:00.000-05:00

Birthdays in my house typically involve a chocolate cake of some sort. Actually, most holidays involve a chocolate cake. Really, an excuse to have chocolate cake, we will take it!

And so, when my mom's birthday rolled around on Monday I decided to make a home-made cake; always so much better than the mixes!

I followed this recipe and was pleasantly surprised to see that it involved Greek yogurt in the ingredients. I knew that this cake would be deliciously moist, with an added punch of protein!

I followed the recipe exactly. You'll see that the batter was extremely runny - similar to a brownie batter.

I let it bake for 1 hour and it turned out perfectly!

Since I don't have a huge sweet tooth, I opted out of the icing that the original recipe used. And instead I dusted on some powdered sugar.

The cake was everything I hoped it would be - super chocolaty, rich, but not overly sweet!

I added some gold sprinkles to my mom's slice because every birthday girl deserves some bling! Even if it is edible.

Do you have any birthday dessert traditions? Ever bake anything using yogurt? Please share your recipes!

P.S. Happy birthday (yesterday) Momma! Love you!
