@MAKEcolour and @BirchBox #birchbloggers breakfast #makeup #cosmetics

14 Nov

Today I was invited to attend a BirchBox breakfast for #birchbloggers in the only BirchBox store in Soho, NY 433 West Broadway. MAKEColour the colour cosmetics brand that finds beauty in inspiration were here to show everyone their cosmetics line, talk about their products and give makeovers.

MAKE believes there are no beauty rules. MAKE believes in make-believe. Each woman is driven by an artistic approach to her own personal reality. It’s beautiful to be inspired by your imagination, to be outspoken, intelligent, confident.

Each season MAKE Will pair two unlikely artists to create their palette and collection. They will then ask emerging make-up artists to share theirs too. Their vision is to incite a continual never-ending journey of collaboration.

For every purchase you make at MAKE , one-third of the sales will be donated to the We See Beauty Foundation that will fund next generation cooperative businesses in America, women-led, worker-owned. We See Beauty is the first social enterprise in the beauty industry dedicated to the advancement of the cooperative movement. Check out this (non-profit organization) at http://www.weseebeauty.com for more info.

Eyeshadows come in Matte or Satin Finish and no filters. The crease-free formula can be brushed on dry, or try wet for a lingering, intense glaze. Water resistant Brow Pens with special felt tip point or Brow Sculpting Duo is also available. Long lasting Gel Eyeliners that are vegan and Defining Mascara is a must have as well.

I’ve always loved matte lipstick or lip pencil. These lipsticks are creamy with hydrating formula, Vitamin C and goes on smooth for a luxurious look that lasts. Apply over lip primer and after using lip pencil. MAKE lipsticks are NOT tested on animals, paraben-free, fragrance-free, preservative-free and hypoallergenic. Lots of gorgeous colors to choose from and only $25 with 33.3% of all sales on http://www.weseebeauty.com donated to the We See Beauty Foundation.

I love mascara and MAKE’s Defining Mascara is going on my wish list. All you need is one coat of this high definition mascara to create long, lush lashes. Smudge-proof and stays on flake-free for hours. The plush brush separates and curls lashes with just one sweep.

I also enjoyed how soft the makeup brushes were. The powder brush is made of goat hair and designed to grab powder for an even, flawless application. The blush brush is also made of natural goat hair. The lip brush with synthetic bristles provide excellent color coverage great for both gloss and lipstick. Need the whole collection.

MAKE launched in January, 2013 and is manufactured right here in NY.

I had a great time listening to how this brand MAKE came about and can’t wait to use my freebies that were provided in the gift bag.

@Nina_Shoes Spring 2015 Collection #boys #girls #women #shoes

11 Nov

I recently visited Nina Footwear Showroom to preview their Spring 2015 shoe collection. Elements by Nina debuted new pieces for their boys collection. Sizes are from Toddler size 6 through youth size 5. Love the slip on shoes and sneakers in camo, also noticing vegan leather a lot in the collection, lime colors, velcro and canvas high top sneakers and suede bucks. Too bad these don’t come in bigger sizes for my son.

The girls collection had sandals in lots of prints in bright colors, glitter and leopard slip on, sneakers and dress shoes in sequins, shimmer ballet flats, dress shoes in patent leather, metallic and satin, heels just right size for small feet, denim or lace espadrilles, wedges and crochet sandals. I have my eyes on quite a few pairs for my daughter. I definitely want to see her in the espadrilles and small heels.

I also got to take a look at the women’s collection. Nina did not disappoint with lots of sparkle, bling, bejeweled high or low heels, sandals, wedges, dressy, sexy amazing shoes. Floral, gold, silver, pink, royal, pastel colors were beautiful. Shoes for all occasions. I’ll take a few dozen please.

If you think the shoes were sparkly the clutches and the jewelry were just as hot. A clutch to match your shoes and sparkle on any red carpet, holiday party or opening night on Broadway. Satin purses were also beautiful in bright colors. The jewelry blew me away. People will think you spent thousands when you walk in blinging. Beautiful necklaces, bracelets, earrings. Swarovski pieces as well which I also could use a few dozen pieces from the collection. My favorite piece was the sparly choker necklace with strands of chains that hang to your waist. Gorgeous. Here is the picture.

IMG_4600-0.JPG

I don’t know about you but if my closets looked like this showroom stocked with tons of jewelry, shoes, purses and clutches I wouldn’t know how to control myself. I already don’t have room for the shoes I currently own but with these I would need to rent storage or move.

These were my favorite sandals and sparkly heels. Love the patent leather. All these sandals I must have and those heels are screaming my name. Here are the pictures.

@LANDSEND WOMEN’S 2015 SPRING COLLECTION PREVIEW

9 Nov

I was invited to preview Lands End Women’s Spring 2015 Collection. I was excited to see what was in store for the women since I’ve always been a fan of Lands End because of everything they have to offer for the entire family from apparel, outerwear, footwear and home items. This collection is exactly what I’m looking for. Lots of stripes put with khaki or red, white and blue stripes for the 4th of July. Loving the ballet flats, sneakers, paisley tote bags, boat shoes, denim jeans in dark and white, dress shirts with the Lands End logo, polo shirts with printed shirts, floral and cable knit sweaters with shirts, loved the rain coats and the butterfly shorts, beautiful dresses from lace to to floral prints, stripes and amazing neck lines. Accessories a woman could never have enough like the handbags, totes, hats, gloves, scarves and stripe belts. Love the nautical theme look. V-neck sweaters and cardigans with trenches, shorts and sneakers or boat shoes look casual but chic,. The workout clothes colorful and comfortable.whether you’re in a gym, running errands, or bike riding Lands End has the right pieces for you. Lightweight jackets also available.

I own about 3 or 4 Lands End totes but could definitely use more especially with the new colors and styles. I saw at least 5 totes that I want.

I want you to really take a look at the prints in the shorts and dresses. Beautiful. Of course, I loved it all. What do you like?

Basically with Lands End their apparel, outerwear, footwear and home items will never go out of style. My family and I will continue to be fans. I will be sporting a few of the items from this collection on my cruise.

There was also a collection that supported breast cancer called the Pink Thread Project. For more info on that go to their website: http://www.landsend.com/pinkthreadand http://www.breastcancer.org

@BOUNTY & @GIANTS HOST MOM’S FOOTBALL CLINIC #football #sports #nutrition

9 Nov

Sports are the ultimate classroom where kids learn the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship, perseverance, respect for authority and rules and how to win with class and lose with dignity.

The New York Giants and Bounty NFL Prints teamed up to host a mom’s football clinic at Quest Diagnostic Training Center at MetLife Sports Complex to promote those ideals and reinforce the importance of exercise, character and nutrition to local moms. In addition to learning basic football skills attendees also had the chance to meet New York Giants Safety Stevie Brown and watched and enjoyed a healthy cooking demonstration led by Giants chef Angelo Basilone, Executive chef of FLK a International. Chef Basilone transformed some favorite game time meals into healthier options.

Bounty is my favorite paper towel and the NY Giants is one of my favorite teams. I am a New Yorker. I definitely was interested in learning more about nutrition and learning basic football skills. Tailgating foods are so good and if I could still make them but in a healthier way then I had to be in attendance to learn more. Stevie Brown, his mother and chef Basilone cooked a delicious vegetarian chili and a turkey chili. Both were great and there were baked potatoes to add the chili on and other toppings like sour cream, cheese, salsa, etc. They also showed everyone how to make amazing whoopie pies.

We sat and listened to a panel of Giants staff professionals talk about getting your kids into sports and keeping them active and how to prevent injuries and know the warning signs when injured. Also, not forcing your kids to take on a sport just because it’s the parents favorite sport. Your kids will know what sport they enjoy. There was also a Q&A. On the panel were:

Karla Brown (Stevie Brown’s mom)
David Tyree (Director of Player Development of NY Giants)
Mike Haynes (USA Football Heads Up Football Manager)
Presenter: Steve Kennelly, New York Giants Assistant Athletic Trainer)

Info on Football Camps: All info can be found here: http://usafootball.com/ the info talked about during the hands on seminar in the training room was the Heads Up Football approach.

We were taken to the the training center where the actual Giants practice so we could run a few practice sessions as well. It was fun. We had to come in our activewear so I knew we were going to go through a few drills and needed to be ready. They also demonstrated how to properly be fitted for uniforms. I learned so much and had a great time.

Equipment Fitting Presentation – Education on Proper Equipment Fitting (Helmet and Shoulder Pads) (Presenters: Ed Skiba, New York Giants Assistant Equipment Manager or Vincent DiGaetano, USA Football)

@WubbleBall FAMILY FUN TOY REVIEW #spon

4 Nov

Wubble Bubble Ball was kind enough to send my kids their 2014 Top Toy for the Holiday Season as selected by Target. Wubble Bubble Ball is a family fun toy and I totally agree. Once I purchased the 4 D batteries for the pump I had the kids insert the pump in the ball and fill with air carefully. I did not want to break it before we got to use it. The whole family played with this huge, soft, bouncy ball all day and night. It is fun and I love that we can use it indoors and haven’t broken anything (so far). It reminds me of an exercise ball but not as heavy. We all get a good workout on our entire body. Laughing is also part of our exercise. Toys that keep my kids active and have the family playing together I’m all for it. I love when the family gets together and just have fun. I can now honestly say we all workout everyday. I would love to take our Wubble Bubble Ball to the park on the grass also. I see a Wubble Bubble Ball play date in our future. I’m sure by the time spring/summer hits we will have more than one. It comes in two colors: blue or red. We have the blue.

We haven’t stopped playing with it yet. Now every morning before school we play and when the kids come home we play. I also find myself playing during the day when I’m home. We all are addicted ( even grandma and auntie). Lol.
My daughter has her dolls jumping up and down off the ball. She also loves when the ball is thrown to her and knocks her down softly.

I was shopping in Target and saw the display of Wubble Bubble Balls and they were almost sold out. I also heard a little girl ask her mom for one. Kids already know what they want and parents pay attention and write it down because your kids will be expecting one or two for the holidays.

Just like any bubble or ball they eventually pop. Wubble Ball has a lifetime replacement guarantee which costs only $6.99 to replace a Wubble under the guarantee. You can watch a video about “How To Inflate a Wubble Ball” http://youtu.be/jy4QK8zRcAo

Wubble Ball is available at Target, Toys R Us and online at http://www.wubbleball.com

Disclosure: I received a sample of this product to facilitate my review but my opinions are entirely my own.

Will you try the Wubble Bubble Ball?

@RUUMkidswear HOLIDAY COLLECTION @ClarksShoes ON RUNWAY @PetiteParade

29 Oct

It is always a pleasure for my kids and I to attend Petite Parade (kids fashion week) in NYC. What parent wouldn’t want to see new kids collections on the runway modeled by some of the cutest kids? The kids have a great time and impress me every time when they strut their stuff.

This year Petite Parade featured RUUM Kid’s Wear Holiday Collection and it was a sight to see. I’ve mentioned this brand in a few of my other posts. I love dressing my daughter in RUUM clothing. Loved the faux fur vests and tulle skirts. The girls stole the show with bows and sparkly dresses but they didn’t forget about the guys. Twin models Tristin and Tyler showed us how to dress up denim jeans with a blazer and tie and how wear an Aztec sweater with colorful jeans.

Clark’s Kids SS15 also showed their latest shoe collection and little feet sashayed the wonderful collection. Kids danced and just had the time of their lives. There was even a cute friendly dog that modeled. Loved seeing the 2015 collection so I can shop early for the adorable styles for my daughter. My son’s foot need the men’s collection.

Everyone did an amazing job and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year.

RUUM American Kid’s Wear Holiday Highlights:

RUUM American Kid’s Wear, known by style-minded parents who seek the quality and design they know and love from their own favorite luxury brands, celebrates the whimsy of the holiday season with a travel inspired holiday collection chock full of the winter’s coziest layered essentials, paired with effortless style.

This season’s design inspiration takes form in rich winter colors. Scottish Highlands and Fifth Avenue glamour embody an appreciation for travel, leisure and a panache for the jetsetter’s life. The perfect embodiment of value and quality, the collections captures a mix of vibrant tulle skirts, draped plaid shirts, faux fur vests and embellished accents suited for a winter princess. A holiday brew of chunky knits in brushed yarns, athletic rib-trimmed puffer jackets, and menswear inspired pieces that are fit for a prince.

“RUUM is about elevation and making every child look and feel their best, and our winter collection is no exception. This brand aims to inspire boys and girls throughout the holiday season to create a fun and unique fashion statement, while maintaining comfort and warmth for jet setting style,” says Ezra Dabah, CEO, RUUM.

The collections have the latest runway trends intertwined in RUUM’s style philosophy, making every piece paparazzi-ready for celebrity kids, and the stars and starlets in your life.

Are GoPro Cameras On Your Holiday List? Get To @BestBuy #GoProatBestBuy #ad

13 Oct

Best Buy is the home of the latest cameras and camcorders, including the full line of new GoPro cameras, plus a broad assortment of accessories. GoPro cameras make perfect holiday gifts for everyone, from kids and teens, to gadget gurus. GoPro’s new line of cameras allow you to beautifully and authentically capture and share the experiences that bring purpose, adventure, and joy to your life.

I consider my a techy and when new cameras and camcorders come out I am first to see what they’re all about. I might not own every camera I see but it’s good to know what’s on the market. To be honest I don’t own any cameras or camcorders. There’s a few I would love to have. The first place I go is Best Buy to get a hands on demo and the information I need about the product. With the holidays fast approaching I have a few tech items I’m interested in and one of them is the GoPro camera. I’m sure my kids will also want one. I consider my family adventurous and there’s plenty of times we could have used one. We love amusement parks, boating, hiking, swimming and will be going on a 7-day cruise soon so I hope to have a GoPro camera so I can capture some great video too. This would be perfect especially if we go swimming with the dolphins or when we’re having fun on the water slide. It will be very hard to use my iPad or iPhone under water. Not a good idea.

I love taking pictures and even though I’m not a professional photographer I consider myself an expert at what I’ve captured so far. Hoping a family member reads this and see that GoPro is first on my holiday list since my birthday just passed. If not I will just have to save my pennies.

GoPro HERO4 Black: the most advanced GoPro ever, featuring improved image quality and a 2x more powerful processor with 2x faster video frame rates1, HERO4 Black takes award‐winning GoPro performance to a whole new level.

MY RECIPE FOR SMASHED POTATOES & BRATS WITH @JvilleGrilling

11 Oct

Cooking is my absolute favorite thing to do. I learned to cook by watching my father and grandmother. I never wrote any recipe down I just watched, listened and asked questions. My memory was very good and so was my appetite. My grandmother never measured anything. I never seen her pull out a recipe card or book unless she found something in a magazine she wanted to try. When I post pictures of a dish I made I can tell you what I put in it but as far as the measurements go you’re on your own with that. I guess I took after my grandma. Lol. Now don’t get me wrong I do follow recipes and measure when it’s a new recipe but if it’s a dish I’ve been making for a long time or just something I made up then I’m not measuring. However, baking gets my undivided attention because pies and cakes should be measured exactly the way the recipe says. All I can say for that is do not mess up my desserts.

I cook everyday unless I’m sick or we ate out or someone else cooked. Summers are so hot and I try my best to stay away from the stove. My favorite season to cook is in the Fall. Temperature changes, leaves falling, and kids are in school and ready to eat when they get in. There are also so many new recipes to try or make up myself. Some days I pull out my crock-pot throw everything in and just relax. Homemade food is the best. I love when the whole family eats together. I also love when my kids help me out in the kitchen. I want them to become great chefs.

Johnsonville reached out to me to and asked if I could create a homemade recipe now that it’s getting chilly out. Johnsonville is known for their delicious sausage like their Andouille, Cheddar or Smoked fully cooked sausage. There are so many things you can add sausage to like pasta, soups, chili, stuffing or omelets. We also love a good sausage and peppers hero. It’s a must have in our house.

With the free coupons provided I decided to use Johnsonville Beef Brats (smoked beef bratwurst) for my recipe. We are a meat and potatoes family so I had fun coming up with the recipe I call: Smashed Potatoes and Brats.

Ingredients:
1 pack of Johnsonville Beef Brats
1 large onion
1 large green pepper
Jar of fire roasted red peppers (few pieces)
Bag of mini golden potatoes (Yukon)
Minced garlic in jar (put as much as you like)
Parsley flakes
Old Bay seasoning
Salt (pinch)
Pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. After washing potatoes pat dry, add seasonings and olive oil then rub all over. I used parsley, old bay seasoning, salt and pepper. Place potatoes on cookie sheet and bake till crispy about 20 to 30 minutes depending on your oven. In a hot frying pan pour small amount of olive oil then place sausage. As sausage is cooking after about 10 or 15 minutes add your onions and peppers to pan. Once onions and peppers are cooked to your liking add garlic last. If you add garlic too early it will burn before everything else is cooked.

Once everything is done take your potatoes and smash them with your palm on a plate. They will be slightly open. Cut up your brats into bite size pieces and add your onions and peppers. I also added more smashed potatoes on top and made it like a sandwich.

Serve with your favorite bread and a glass of sparkling apple cider. I also made more food with this meal but my recipe was for Johnsonville sausage.

I enjoyed making this recipe and we all enjoyed eating it. Sorry I didn’t get pictures of everyone eating their meal but we were busy stuffing our faces to smile. Lol.
I hope you try my recipe with your family and let me know how they like it. Maybe you added something to it or used a different Johnsonville product. You can comment below or leave me a tweet on Twitter @nilimonicky. I will be creating more meals so be on the lookout for more recipes on the blog.

Thank you very much Johnsonville.
