How You Spend Your 20s (And Early 30s) Will Define You

Gramarcy Park Boy’s mother got him a book for Christmas entitled, SoulPancake and in my sinus-overhauled state once upon a time, I spent some time flipping through it where I came across a quote by Thomas Merton:

“A life is either all spiritual or not spiritual at all. No man can serve two masters. Your life is shaped by the end you live for. You are made in the image of what you desire.”

that made me think, how you spend your 20s (and early 30s) will define you. [Read more...]

No Friends of Mine: LEGO Goes Pink

0

Pink LEGO

Let’s start by making something very clear: I absolutely adore LEGO. Its concept, design, products and company philosophy are fantastic. My husband is a LEGO collector who owns every variation of Star Wars minifigure the company ever released and is known on Twitter as Lego Master. Last Saturday was spent in a rapturous build and endless admiration of the recently released Jabba’s Palace set, and this year we have decided that all our Christmas decorations will be made out of LEGO, including their wonderful Winter Village sets, which are still boxed and waiting for December the 1st when we buy the tree.

Nor, I hasten to add, do I have anything against the colour pink per se. Apart from the fact that it would be weird for me to write for the Little Pink Blog and be a voracious anti-pink feminist, I believe that colours in themselves are not inherently evil, and that women should wear pink and buy pink products if they feel like it.

That said, this week I joined 61,000 [Read more...]

You’re Invited: Sasha’s 28th Birthday and Recurso World Aids Day Fundraiser

Donate Today!

Hello, hello!

It’s that time of year again and this year Recurso will be doing another great fundraiser!

Sasha, Recurso’s resident PR & Emerging Media master, is donating her birthday to Recurso!

December 1st is World AIDS Day, so it makes it the perfect opp for a Recurso+World AIDS Day! Currently, we’re raising funds to help buy antiviral treatments for the Hospital del Niño in Lima, Peru, and all proceeds will go towards this goal.

Recurso, a Spanish word for “resource or refuge”, is a 501(c)(3) international non-profit organization that began in May 1999. Recurso is dedicated to improving the human condition by empowering students across the nation to provide direct sustainable development and aid. Recurso’s three areas of concentration are: health, water, and education. This includes promoting primary education, quality health care, dental hygiene education, the building of schools and providing school supplies to our global community partners.

We really hope you can make it!
♥ Eva, Sasha and the Recurso Team

An Evening With Snow White and The Huntsman, NBC Universal and [yellow tail]

0

We seriously heart the folks at NBC Universal and [yellow tail]. They really know how to throw intimate, fun, exceptionally well-catered and put together events.

Whenever we step into a NBC Universal and [yellow tail] production it is always feels like we’ve stepped into another world.

Thereby, the NBC Universal and [yellow tail] blu-ray/DVD launch of “Snow White and The Huntsman” was nothing short of an ‘outstanding’ that even Dolores Umbridge couldn’t argue with it.

Minerva McGonagall would be proud.

Ignore our sleepless, New York Fashion Week, extremely tired face… rather pay attention to our pretty dress, red lips and cutsey wedges! *wheeee* Go us! :)

Centered around the theme of “Good and Evil” (we felt very Florence + The Machine “Shake it Out” music video-esque), the night was full of delicious [Read more...]

“Eating foods rich in antioxidants, such as pomegranates, can be beneficial in boosting your skins’ natural sun protection and are a great source of structured water, giving your body a two-in-one benefit.

Try to eat foods that are rich in color and take internal supplements that contain pure pomegranate extract and Vitamins C & E, to help boost the SPF of your sunscreen and neutralize free radical damage that may occur even while you’re wearing sunscreen.” – Howard Murad M.D., Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCLA and founder of Murad Inc.

Recently, I had the chance to sit down and chat with the Dr. Murad team about getting beach-ready and staying safe in the sun.

They provided me with their top 10 tips and some other insights too! [Read more...]

Empire State of Sasha: Electric Daisy Carnival New York 2012

Where have all the neon, polyester flowers gone?

Or rather, were there any faux-flowers left in the Greater New York City area as thousands of gardlanded, flowered-out electronic music festival goers descended upon New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. for Electric Daisy Carnival New York.

I took a trip with the Italians and it was such an adventure, Charlie!

Empire State of Sasha: Manhattan Cocktail Classic

0

Part festival, part fête, part conference, part cocktail party – the Manhattan Cocktail Classic is an annual celebration of the myriad points of intersection between cocktails and culture.

Across five days and the four boroughs, the Manhattan Cocktail Classic (May 17-21) offered industry pros and enthusiasts alike a vast array of unique experiences (*ahem* Gentleman’s Cocktail Crawl with The Italian) and events (shout out to the fab John Henry from Liquor.com for his stellar presentation on marketing up-and-coming spirits brands!)

The Huffington Post definitely said it best,

Interview with “Happy Bitch” Author Keryl Pesce [Wine and Bling GIVEAWAY]

 ”She’s no longer a bitch. She’s a Happy Bitch!”

Keryl Pesce’s brand began with her self-help book entitled “Happy Bitch – The girlfriend’s straight-up guide to losing the baggage and finding the fun, fabulous you inside!.”

In her straight-up and “girlfriend-friendly” style, Pesce shares her new found perspective and strength following a painful divorce and shows readers how regardless of their baggage, they too can transform their lives from heartache and struggle to peace and lasting happiness.

I had the pleasure of meeting up with fellow pink-enthusiast Pesce recently and here’s what she had to say:- [Read more...]

Don’t Forget To K.I.T.! … BFFs?

By: Alexandra Campuzano, guest blogger

For the past few months I’ve been adjusting to life in a new city.

Anyone who has made a change from a city they consider home to a city that is virtually the opposite of home will understand the transition is tougher than anyone might have warned you about.

Prior to the big move, friends who had made similar transitions tossed bouquets of advice my way.

“Don’t forget to keep a weekly and monthly budget”, “Make sure your place has a night guard”, “Have a few months of rent and utilities in your savings account, you know, just in case”,”Don’t be afraid to live off Cup-o-noodle—it’s a perfectly decent meal.” [Read more...]

Social Hosting: An Airbnb Experience

Last weekend I test-drove one of the most talked-about travel accommodation websites out there: Airbnb.

I’m very pleased to report that

  • my first guests were not axe-yielding psychos
  • the house stands totally undamaged and as lovely as ever
  • my small furry one, Watson the dog, loved them and was loved back
  • the payment went through the very next day. [Read more...]

“NYC was an easy choice as the place to first introduce Badoo to the U.S. It’s young, diverse, and social–a lot like Badoo!”
 - Jessica Powell, Chief Marketing Office for Badoo worldwide

It’s no surprise we love Badoo.

We’ve been writing about them for quite sometime now and thereby, it still should not be a surprise that when heard about The Badoo Project, we took our happy little selves to SoHo for an evening to hang out with our favourites from Londontown.

What is the Badoo Project you ask? [Read more...]
