    ENTERTAINING: Cocktails & Mocktails for the Holidays

    There is just something about a beautiful glass, so filled precariously to the rim, that you have to watch very carefully as you move about a room so that the delicious promise held inside doesn’t slip over the delicate edge. It’s a colorful balancing act to say the least in the miniature obstacle course that is the holiday party, figuratively and metaphorically. Nothing says celebration like a cup that runneth over. Whether you choose a classic cocktail or you’re serving up the kind of mocktails that memories are made of, it’s time to show your skills behind the bar. We…

    Beauty: Oxygenetix Foundation

    “A breathable makeup revolution!” Every makeup wearing person on the planet knows the feeling of heavy foundations that feel like a weird mask on the face at the end of the day. It’s this delicate balance on a tight rope between coverage/comfortability that we walk daily. The founders of Oxygenetix realized that this is especially true for those who are post-op patients, either cosmetically or even those dealing with serious health concerns. Red, sensitive and delicate skin often leaves patients feeling like hiding away, shielding their face from friends and family, resulting in serious social downtime. “Formulated for use by…

    BEAUTY: Restorsea’s 24kt Liquid Gold Face Oil

    Sometimes you have to try it to believe it, but just one application of Restorsea’s 24kt Liquid Gold Face Oil, and our beauty editor was a believer. It is surprising how deeply hydrating this little bottle of gold really is. Fine lines plumped up, inflammation on the skin calmed, and it played well with eye creams and makeups, too. Restorsea’s Founder & CEO, Patti Pao, whose background includes launching over 400 products for important brands such as Avon, Elizabeth Arden, Guerlain and Peter Thomas Roth, says it’s all about her Aquabeautine XL, a novel hatching enzyme that salmon fry release…

    HOME: It’s Time For A Fall Refresh

    Shockingly, the summer heat will quickly give way to chilly mornings and more nights spent indoors. School get-togethers and holiday preparations will have you hosting friends and family once again. Pumpkin lattes, snuggly blankets and spiced everything; there’s a charm in the air and we naturally feel like celebrating every season. A clever host or hostess in the know always sets the tone of the season by making small changes to the decor, a change of a throw blanket that better suits the autumn, a set of dinner table chargers, a vase here, a wreath there, and like the swoosh…

    ARCHITECTURE: Rise Projects & Karen Frome

    New York City is known for its iconic skyline, a skyline so expansive it travels the entire length of the Hudson River as far as the eye can see. At night it’s a dazzling history book of stories of the past while the future is being written right beside it. Old brown stone, pre-war walk ups, fit neatly beside ultra-modern skyscrapers. Each building a testament to human engineering and the concrete, brick, metal, and glass vision of the era, all brought to you by New York architects. And, as you zoom in to the individual rooms, homes and public spaces…

    EVENTS: Meadow Brook Polo Club

    Polo is known as the sport of kings and it’s easy to see why the game is so alluring to royalty, the sound of the hooves of powerfully bred horses pounding across the manicured lawns, the fine riding skills of the players as they rush and race to outmaneuver their competitors, and the expansive real estate of the nine football field lengths of just one polo field sets the stage for a heart racing show. Not to mention all the people watching opportunities of the guests who come out in style for an afternoon of family fun, food and drinks.…

    ART: Jan Kaláb & Modern Morphology

    Bright, boundless and bold. Jan Kaláb is known from Europe to Shanghai, New York City to Rio de Janeiro, as an exuberate artist who turn shapes, streetcorners and galleries into points of shifting perspective. There is a youthful projection of coloring outside of the lines. Perhaps that is reminiscent of the wild nights in Prague he spent slipping from stop to stop on the subway delving recklessly into graffiti with his friends, a crew called the ‘The DSK’ in Prague’s art center, formerly known as the Cakes. They would quickly throw street art all over the walls in an attempt…

    Celebrations: Father’s Day

    When you’re a little kid it’s so much fun trying to wear your father’s shoes around the house. It isn’t until you become an adult that you realize exactly how hard it is to truly fill those shoes. Sometimes the everyday monotony disguises how challenging the twenty-four seven job really is. Being a father is choosing to be someone’s daily hero. From easy childhood moments of tying your shoes, making sure you get home from school safely, double checking that the doors are locked at night, to the more tumultuous teenage years of talking you through a heartbreak, giving advice…
