Manicure Monday

I was recently given Ciatè's caviar manicure in white and being stuck inside for a blizzard was the perfect time to try it out!  It was really easy to use but I must say that the small beads really do go EVERYWHERE! It is also very time consuming since you must paint and sprinkle each nail separately before moving on to the next one.  My paws came out looking so cool though! Depending on how light reflected on them, it gave them a different look! Very FFC! Let's see how long it lasts though, I've heard not that long. I'll be sure to let you know!

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Last week's new recipe for 2013 was DELICIOUS! Unfortunately, I don't have a recipe to share with you because I came up with it all on my own.

Continue to mix until fully cooked. 5- Shred one carrot stick; and put to the side. 6- Wash individual Lettuce pieces. (As many as you need for as many as you are serving) 7- Heat up a generous amount of the Sesame Garlic Sauce ...

Eyebrow Threading

Last week I got my eyebrows threaded for the first time ever at Shobha in New York City! I've been a long time eyebrow waxer but I think Shobha has now converted me to a threader! They have locations throughout New York City, I went to the one in the Financial District. My eyebrows were done by the well-known and extremely talented, Shashi and she did a fabulous job. My shape has completely changed and perfected. Shashi has even worked on A-list celebrities! I tried, but I couldn't get the names out of her! She usually works at their Columbus Circle location; you must go and see her. Look at the magic she did... When you get your eyebrows threaded, your skin does not get affected the way it does when you get them waxed. I have extremely sensitive skin so this was a major plus for me! I did get a little irritation but nothing compared to how red I used to get when I would get them waxed. Threading also allows the specialist to be more precise than with waxing. It was o...

NYC Restaurant Week

When New York City Restaurant Week happens it's as if another Miracle on 34th Street has happened! Restaurant Week gives New Yorkers and tourists alike the ability to venture to some of the best New York City restaurants, usually the ones that the average joe couldn't normally afford to go to. It occurs twice a year and this is something you do not want to miss! The restaurants that participate have a special three course lunch and dinner menu that they create for the event. This time around, the lunch menu is $25 and dinner one is $38; these prices are such a steal for the lavish places you get to go to! Last week, I went to Pranna, which is on 28th and Madison and it was delish. Here's a preview of the menu . Of course, I documented the whole thing so enjoy the pictures below... Here's part of the restaurant that I was able to see from where I was sitting. What's really cool about Pranna is that it's not only a restaurant but it is a lounge as well! T...

It's getting a little Fishy!

This week's new dish is Parmesan Salmon! It was delicious! I got the recipe once again from Food.com . I made more salmon than the recipe called for, so I obviously doubled the measurements. It really gave the salmon a different flavor than I've ever tried before. Very tasty! Follow me on:   Bloglovin' ,  Twitter ,  YouTube ,  Facebook .
