Dad Jeans and Neon Topps

Good Morning.
Happy Monday and Happy New Year!

This past weekend was so wonderful for my family.
Aside from missing an event Saturday morning because Moe and I overslept which never happens (we blame James for keeping us up the night before). We enjoyed oversleeping that morning! As a result, we were able to eat breakfast at home and take our time getting dressed. We had so much free time that after breakfast we visited Topps Bakery. I will admit we only come here for one thing and that's their Boston cream donuts.. their amazing and very addictive!!

We normally visit Chantilly Patisserie and Bakehouse but they're currently closed as they're on vacation (returning tomorrow 1/7).

Quick Roasted Cornish Hen Recipe

Ingredients

1 lemon (zested and juiced)

3 cloves of garlic (finely chopped or made into paste)

1 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon thyme

1 1/2 teaspoon salt + pepper

1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or chili powder (optional)

2 tablespoon of butter

Two Cornish hens  (1.6 pounds each)

1. Turn oven to 375 degrees (convectional bake).

2. Mix all ingredients in a bowl except the hens.

3. Pat hens dry with paper towels.

4. Add half of the mixed seasoning under the skin and the rest all over the hen.

5. Add a drizzle of olive oil on both hens.

Bake for 1 hour. Basting every 20 minutes with it's own juices. 

I used two small hens but this recipe works with chicken as well. The chicken is ready when it hits 165 degrees fahrenheit (75 celsius) or when you poke the breast with a knife and the juices run clear.

Serves 4 people.

Bring Back Memories With JOHNSON’S

“I partnered with JOHNSON’S ® to produce this post. As always all opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting the brands and collaborations that make NY Trendy Moms possible”

Going on vacation for me while growing up wasn’t traveling the world, meeting different people and eating different foods. My vacation as a child was staying with my abuela all Summer long in the Dominican Republic while my mother worked two jobs back in New York. Back then I didn’t realize how great these moments were until I no longer had them.

Pixi Beauty just released their new Collection with a few amazing influencers and I'm here to share it with you guys. disclaimer: Pixi sent me these products to share my honest opinion with you guys.

Pixi Beauty is definitely one of those brands that stand out to me when I shop at Target. The packaging is always on point and the products never disappoint. So when I heard about their new collection, I ran to Target to shop it but couldn't get my hands on it. Two days later I received a pr package from non-other than Pixi Beauty! See below the full collection.

Chloe Morello released three beautiful 3d lip icings. They go perfectly on it's own or on top of your favorite lipstick. Each retails for $14.

All these products make great stocking stuffers.

Daughters Room Transformation

Things To Do Before Summer Ends

There's only a few days left until Summer officially ends (September 23rd).

It's always bitter sweet when we reach this time of year. Letting go of the warmer days and welcoming cooler weather. Over the Summer my family visited so many cool places, I couldn't keep it all to myself. These are the best places to visit before Summer ends.
