The Dough Boys

When trying to decide where to grab pizza this past weekend, my fellow dough boys and I decided to bring the pizzeria back to my cucina! Instead of spending messy hours making the dough from scratch, we decided to buy pre-made crust from Whole Foods and went straight to our favorite part: decorating the pies [...]

Eyes Wide. Smile Wide.

Someone told me growing up that it’s important to smile with your eyes. Well, you can’t smile with food in your teeth…or with lumpy mascara! My favorite mascara of the moment? Chanel’s Inimitable Intense Mascara. Ideal for someone who has long eye lashes, this mascara glides on so easy and leaves you ready to go. [...]

Periyali? Opa!

Who wouldn’t love to travel over to Greece and relax on their beautiful islands? Just to mingle with the locals, buy some of their Evil Eye jewelry pieces, and my personal favorite: devour their amazingly fresh and delicious dishes. But to make the trip over to Greece from Manhattan multiple times a year just to [...]

Who puts the Toe into your Mistle?

Before getting super holly jolly for an upcoming holiday party my roommate and I were hosting, I decided to figure out the core essentials we would need in order to put the “toe” into our guests’ “mistle.” I started with the first ingredient that people would see when they approached our apartment: the wreath. I [...]

The Naked Truth

Alright, there’s no denying it…Bikini waxes hurt like no other {side note for all of you boys out there, this wax can include ripping off everything…bald eagle status}. But, I have found a route around this horrible procedure. At Bliss, of course. Thank goodness a little over a year ago I found my go-to-girl, Zena. [...]

Do Not Eat The Bread

Before you cross over the Williamsburg Bridge and lean right around the corner to approach the well-known Peter Luger restaurant, I highly suggest to not eat a thing at least three hours before. Unfortunately, I made that mistake by lunching on a white truffled sausage uptown a few hours prior. I also made a boo [...]

An Iconic Life

For the next two weeks, Christie’s is giving you a key to open the door into one of the most fascinating lives in American history. This would be a woman who stopped people on the streets from her timeless beauty, who became the Queen of Hollywood and who also happened to have the most fabulous [...]

Stamp. Glitter. Shake. Bake.

Alright readers, I’ve decided to take my creativity up a notch this holiday season with my gift giving. How? I’m going to make my own gift tags and greeting cards for my friends and family. With what? Starting with one word: a stamp. Oh, yes… Since I love to be inspired by other creative people, [...]

Nix the Spritz. Wear some Scents!

Dustin isn’t the only one showing his talent in the Hoffman house this year. His wife, Lisa Hoffman, has taken her incredibly innovative beauty line to the next level by introducing Fragrance Jewelry. A few weeks ago, I had the chance to go in and see (I mean, smell!) Lisa Hoffman’s products for myself, and [...]

Sour Cream Lovin’ In The Oven

I remember those countless mornings waking up to the smell of my mom’s delicious baking. Especially around the holidays, there was one distinct smell that I remember the most: her sour cream coffee cake. My mom acquired this yummy recipe from a good friend, Clark, back in her college years and it still wows our [...]
