Recently I attended the Westchester Magazine Food & Wine Festival with the Journal News, @lohud. If you’ve been on the fence about going, it’s definitely worth it! I had so much fun. Today’s post is for my Westchester locals. I’m rounding up some new restaurants I’ll definitely be trying out and my favorite rosè’s and where to find them! Layout: The event takes place at Kensico Dam in Valhalla. There were two or three large tents set up and there were food and wine stations outlining the tents. You walk around and pick up food and wine at each station.…
PHOTOGRAPHY by: Amanda Elle The reality is, sometimes I just don’t have time to work out. It’s 5:30 a.m. as I’m writing this, so this morning I chose my blog over the gym. Sue me. But it doesn’t mean I won’t do something good for my body. Today I’m sharing 3 easy tips for staying in shape on a workaholics schedule. 3 Easy Tips For Staying In Shape On A Workaholics Schedule Commit to easy exercise five days a week.

Recently, I’ve been trying out new beauty products so I can share the ones I love with you! What I’ve decided to do is every four-to-six weeks I try ten new products.

These are probably one of the most delicious cocktails I’ve ever made. Cocktail ice pop? Whatever you want to call them, they’re GOOD. The ones in this photo, in particular, have lasted in the freezer all week. And they’re so easy to make. So follow the instructions below for my summertime frozé ice pops and thank me later! So first, you’ll obviously need your rosé. I started out with a bottle of Adorada rosé. You can buy it here. The flavor is delicious, with hints of strawberry yet not too sweet. Making it perfect for frozé. Or just regular drinking! Haha! Other items…
Post Sponsored by Bed Bath & Beyond I get so excited when I’m asked to share anything that has to do with Westchester County. So when I heard that Bed Bath & Beyond in Mount Vernon had a new in-store shop I couldn’t wait to check it out! As someone who’s into fashion and not afraid to order jeans or anything for that matter online, I’m always happier when I purchase interior items in-store. I can never judge size from measurements for tables, picture frames, pillows and well you know everything. Needless to say, I was really happy to head to…
