The Boohoo Store: NYC

Coveted fashion site Boohoo.com is hosting a pop-up shop in NYC until November 20.

It is a preview-only space, so you can't get your shop on, but there's a DJ playing music, face-painting and they'll be hosting special events throughout their time in NYC. They gave out the cutest goodie bags upon exit. (I went the first day.)

Check out the pop-up at 3 W 13 street until November 20.

Nails: Tan Lines

"Tan Lines" by FLOSSGLOSS. I think I'm in love with this brand, this is my third polish from them so far. I also have "Stun" & "Second Base". They're all so cute, I love it.

Eden Day Spa

I visited the Eden Day Spa in Lower Manhattan with my friend to celebrate her birthday. Although it's not the biggest place, the atmosphere was beautiful, relaxing and everything we needed to rejuvenate.

We chose the 60 minute massages since they were running a special for the week and definitely got our money's worth. In addition to the snacks, there was a complimentary lunch provided. I chose the pasta with shrimp, chicken and mushrooms and it was delicious.

After the massages and lunch, we were exhausted so we steamed in the sauna for a few minutes then left. I would recommend this spa if you're in NYC on a budget. I'll know I'll definitely be back to see Sam for another amazing massage.

Osgemeos: Silence of the Music

Lehmann Maupin gallery is currently showing "Silence of the Music" until October 22, 2016.

The works are from Brazilian twin artists Osgemeos. Rooms are transformed into an installation combining drawing, painting, mixed media and more.

It's no surprise the brothers were orignially graffiti artists in São Paulo by the styles and vibrancy of the colors used in the art.

The "B-Boy" room was one of my favorites.

Check out the exhibition by October 22 at

Of course, I had to try the funnel cake by @ALilBitofFun and I'm glad I did, it was hot and delicious.

The artists did an amazing job and expressed their love for Drake in unique, creative ways. Stay tuned for the next event. This one was a sight to see and you don't want to miss the next one.

Peter Thomas Roth: Meet Your Mask

Peter Thomas Roth is one of the best and most popular skincare lines out right now. What attracted me most to the brand is that the majority of the products I had seen claimed to give extra moisture and with dry skin, that's something I look for first.

As with most things amazing, Peter Thomas Roth's line can be pretty pricey. That's why I was so excited when I saw they came out with the "meet your mask" kit. For $25, you get a sample of 6 masks: blue marine algae, rose stem-cell gel, 24k gold, irish moor mud, cucumber gel and pumpkin enzyme.

Although the bottles were small, I was surprised to see each sample makes about 3-4 masks. That's great because you can see how your skin reacts to the samples and then choose which ones to stick with and splurge on. I'm personally having a hard time choosing because I love how soft and bright my skin feels after the gels.

(Tip: Put the gels in the fridge for an extra cooling sensation)

I absolutely recommend the meet your mask kit if you're looking for new masks to try and with that price, it's WELL worth it.

Ice Hockey

I was invited to a hockey game last minute and decided to go. I'm glad I did because, I had a BLAST!

We were lucky enough to be close up in great seats so I saw all of the action. I even got a chill and a breeze when the ice sweepers went by. The Islanders vs Rangers game on October 4 was so good, it went into overtime.

I'm not that into sports but I'm glad I have an open mind and like to try new things. I was not disappointed and I can't wait to attend my next game.

What's Your Love Language?

The weather outside is frightful..

Okay maybe not yet but it's getting there which all means it's "cuffing" season. Now, whether you have a new boo or you're still riding out with the same one, know that one of the most important things in a relationship is communication.

That's why knowing your and your partner's love language is essential. Knowing how your partner gives and receives love will make a world of a difference and is a highly recommended for a harmonious relationship.

Here's a quiz you can take to find out your love language. I originally did one from Gary Chapman's "The 5 Love Languages" book, but I posted the website's PDF versions for singles and couples below. There are actually more tests for other languages as well; including apology, appreciation and anger assessment. Save the quiz for later, print and/or share.

Bath Bombs

Okay, I think I'm addicted to bath bombs. If you don't know, bath bombs or fizzies are hard-packed mixtures of essential oils combined with other varying ingredients, from glitter to pop-rocks, to make your normal bath an experience.

"Dragon's Egg" - Lush Cosmetics

I usually get my bombs from Lush Cosmetics but, in an effort to support small businesses, I ordered a few from AustinApothecary on Etsy. I mix my bombs with my favorite Neutrogena Rainbath shower/bath gel and body oil.

The majority of my bombs have 24K gold mica powder, so on top of the great fragrances and soft skin, I can walk around sparkling like the golden goddess I am.

I was even sent a small "Golden Sun" bomb as a bonus. So far, I'm in love with this brand.

As temperatures continue to rapidly drop in NYC, I'm sure I'll be purchasing more and more so I'll be sure to give an update with my favorites. The holidays are coming and these make amazing little gifts. Stay tuned.
