self love - part 2
in case you missed out on our latest ode to you.loving me, loving you.. 
"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles." --Audrey Hepburn
As promised we are continuing to bring you the best and most luxurious ways to make you a better, happier, glamorous and more pampered you in 2009.
| love your body  We continue our self adoration project by embarking on a 30 day challenge of IntenSati classes at Equinox with Patricia Moreno. And for back up purposes, when the brutal NYC winter weather makes it too painful to venture out, we love our Piloxing DVD. Of course, even when working out, we try to treat ourselves right. The ultimate motivator in working out, aside from an upcoming pilgrimage to Tulum, is the most spectacular gym bag of all time, the Nike Monika Gym Bag. We are so smitten we are dedicating a post just to her shortly. And not all body beautification needs to come along with toil and sacrifice. To quote our friends at VitalJuiceDaily.com "While nothing replaces the benefits of diet and exercise, being bronzed can give you a boost. Make your faux glow a healthy one" we at CN faux it by using DermaGlow Self Tanner for Body and DermaGlow Self Tanner for Face |
| love your health  OK, we always tout health and nutrition, but we have to admit when we go hedonistic too. And we did it big time, falling off the health wagon and heeding the siren call of the Shake Shack, and we also got our liquor-mojo back on during fashion week, hitting cocktails hard at after parties all across the city. So, in penance, we are up for another round of BluePrint Cleansing and a visit or two or three to SanaVita (why oh why don't they have a 30 day program???). We also recommend Liquiteria to replace our cocktail needs with a juicing fix. |
| love your friends  Alright, self love feels pretty good, but why not share the fabulous you with others too. So in our quest for more self love coupled cutting down on our bills from La Esquina, home entertaining fits the bill. CN has found the most novel and genius excuse to have a rip-roaring get together, www.houseparty.com. Forget charades and Pictionary, and check out this awesome website. It's FREE, ridiculously easy, and depending on what "party" you sign up for you receive a huge box of goodies and products to share with your guests. All you do is provide the snacks and drinks of course. And when we say drinks we mean an ultra premium orange liqueur we have discovered. Combier Liqueur d'Orange. No, the fact that it is Orange has nothing to do with our devotion. It is simply our liqueur de jour and the one we have been featuring at our house soirees. |
