What I learned from being with my kids 24/7 in NYC last week. OH and some amazing new beauty brand discoveries.

April 25, 2014

I took both kids to my mom’s in NYC for a good 9 days. It was the best week I’ve had in – I don’t know how long. Something about having no choice but to full take over and just immerse myself with my kiddos was incredible. I didn’t do a lick a work. Maybe a beat here and there but that’s it. I feel empowered, a much better parent and my patience and tolerance muscles were so seriously flexed, that I feel like I can parent with total calm in any situation. I was stress-free, relaxed and gave my kids the best parenting they’ve had from me – ever. Something to say for throwing yourself in the fire and going away alone with kids. DO IT. And you’ll be a pro. That being said, I came home to boxes of goodies on my desk to report on and some stuff I have been dying to share with you! Some gorgeously packaged goodies from the GOLDFADEN skincare line. (PACKAGE CRUSH) I cannot wait to try. They have been raved about big time. High end. Good stuff. The real deal.

The new flavors from QUEST NUTRITION (the bars I am not only addicted to, I can honestly say I have a “habit” and the new flavors like COOKIES AND CREAM are downright psychotically addictive, just ask the girl at the gym – I spend a ridiculous amount a month on them ). If you are bar-crazed then you may have caught wind of the RAVE about these. People are fff-reaking out about them. Go online and look. They are SICK! OH, and some other goodies from themarrived – their new gulf free pasta line!

Two beauty nectars you drink TAUT and BEAUTY NECTAR from Ashieda jammed packed with .

I am speechless about Verso Dark Spot Fix from Stockholm. First of all it WINS my packaging and website awards of 2014. Check out their website. Perfection.

Hey VERSO, if you are hiring a designer, let’s talk. It’s so outrageously stunning it’s hard for me to get past the beauty of the bottle (yes, I kept the box too). And, it’s a fantastic product. Get it. Stare at it. Bring it out at parties. But most of all, use it.

Oh, this Bite Beauty Agave lip mask – let’s just say, I took it out during a branding/client meeting, and the two women were ordering it via their iPhones within ten minutes.

This gorgeous Hydracontinue bottle of Phytomer:

So stay tuned!

Need the best kid’s birthday entertainment? I got it! Send in the clowns

April 11, 2014

Imagine what I did when my almost 8 year daughter asked for a magician to perform at her birthday.

Said “ok!”” Muttered to myself “oh crap!”

Then, I did the next natural thing. Hopped on Facebook. Updated status.

Need birthday magician. Help. H-E-L-P!!!

Within minutes my amazing mommy mentor Dani Klein responded with call Leesa from Send in the Clowns. End of story. I’ve never hired a magician before and I was skeptical but that’s what she wanted, so that’s what she got. I wondered how much it would cost to hire a magician but at such short notice, I was prepared to pay anything.

Obviously I did. Within a week (of course this happened a week before Aria’s party) I had hired a magician, expecting – I don’t know what – (other than a bunny – I HAD TO HAVE THE BUNNY!) and what I got what, honestly, the best hour of jokes and entertainment I’ve had in a long time.

Seriously, Dave the Magician was better than some of the Largo comedy I’ve seen.

I was pulling away from the other moms who wanted to gab because I had to sit with the kids and watch Dave. He had the kids in stitches. He had me in stitches. And my kids’ dads in stitches (yah, there are two). It was the BEST money I’ve spent on a birthday in years. The party was a SCORE. I’m still getting emails about it. All thanks to Dave (and Leesa!) and this amazing-make-your-life-amazing and make-you-a-rockstar in your kids eyes, one stop shopping birthday bundle of fun.

If you’re a parent, you know what a FRICKEN nightmare these parties are. They are the most high-pressured part of the year. All the expectations, the choices and the money!!!

Send in the clowns website will take you down a rabbit hole of goodies and options and from what I hear, and from what I’ve experienced, it seems to be a no-brainer of one-stop shopping.

So, take a load off, click and poke around and the perfect party, and totally reasonably priced and within range comparatively for the biz, is just a click away. Leesa is so fun and awesome and will make sure you are totally taken care of. She kicks ass. So your kid’s party won’t kick yours.

Happy. Laughing. Faces.
