Real Simple Hosts Beauty & Balance Event

Real Simple Beauty Balance EventOn Friday, Real Simple magazine hosted their annual Beauty & Balance event at the Andaz hotel in NYC. It was the perfect de-stress day after a long red-eye home from LA (and my gearing up to be on another plane tomorrow). I took my first Pure Barre class — I know I’m late to the party on this trend — but I totally get the hype! I engaged muscles in my abs that have probably been asleep for the past decade and it’s an incredible class for anyone looking to tone and build strength (and flexibility) throughout their whole body. When I’m back from my whirlwind travels, I’m going back.

NYC is the 2nd Most Wrinkle-Prone Region in the US! Guess why.

Living in the city that never sleeps is a unique experience filled with many perks ranging from the best shopping, 24 hour delivery services, and cultural experiences at every turn. All of these obvious “pluses” happen to also come with a big “minus”.  According to a new study by Sperling’s BestPlaces and RoC Skincare, the Big Apple is the second most wrinkle-prone region in the U.S.!!! This study assesses lifestyle, occupational and environmental factors that can add wear and tear to the skin (of which NYC scored higher then average in all categories). Some leading factors include climate conditions, stress levels and not enough sleep!!

Inside Ryan Darius Salon {Review}

20140601-180540.jpg

I used to be one of those people that cut their hair every 3 months. That’s what I was told you had to do to keep your ends healthy and for it to grow. Well not so surprisingly my hair would make it to my signature length of 3-4 inches past my shoulders and then stop. Highly frustrating! As was every stylists obsession with giving me layers. Here’s the thing, I have a thin hair but I have a lot of it which is easy for people to mistake as being thick and big.

Secondly, my hair is curly and when layers get involved sh!t gets crazy and for the person who has to maintain it on a daily basis, it’s not fun. Yes, it looks amazing while I’m at the salon but past that I have to really work with it. So fast forward to my waiting 8 months for a haircut (I was deep conditioning my roots like a crazy person to pro-long the cut), I was invited to Ryan Darius Salon for a cut. I’ve met Ryan on a few occasions and used to go to his salon for blow-outs before the whole drybar/dreamdry kick, and enjoy the atmosphere, and prime location. Nestled on a quiet street blocks from Union Square, there are only a few chairs in the salon so it’s very private. For me getting my haircut is not a fashion show; I love an intimate, peaceful atmosphere where I can hear my stylist and have an actual conversation without people watching and music blaring.

Oasis Spa Gets a Makeover

oasis day spa
One of my favorite NYC sanctuaries, Oasis Spa recently got a makeover at their One Park Avenue Flagship location. A perfect place to take some time for yourself and unwind, the award-winning spa, deemed “Best of New York” and “Best of Westchester,” continues to remain true to their core values of providing luxury spa services and relaxation at affordable prices. The spa has undergone a complete restorative makeover, and while the ambience has changed for a more modern and luxurious feel, and are incorporating new extensions to their quality services, their prices have remained the same.
