Hoy voy a compartir fotos del evento y información sobre la campaña de Pantene Beautiful Lengths y la colección.

Currently Loving | Rituals

I am a fragrance junkie!! I recently came across the brand Rituals and was utterly obsessed. The packaging is beautiful and (of course) high quality. I received two products, The body cream and shower oil. The body cream has a sensual fragrance yet very luxurious and leaves your skin silky soft. The soothing shower oil transforms into a soft foam on contact with water, leaving your skin wonderfully soft. The indian rose and sweet almond oil scent gives a relaxing effect for the body and mind. You can purchase these exquisite products on Rituals official website as well as in Barneys New York. 

Rituals also has great gift options for this Holiday season. With every order of $70 or more you'll receive free fragrance sticks (worth $35). Offer ends 12/27/14

Happy Friday!

Quote Of The Day

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

-Lao Tzu  

_________________

Soy un adicta a la fragancia!! Recientemente me encontré con la marca Rituals y ahora estoy totalmente obsesionada. El paquete es hermoso y (por supuesto) de alta calidad. Recibí dos productos, la crema para el cuerpo y el aceite de ducha. La crema para el cuerpo tiene una fragancia sensual pero muy lujoso y deja la piel suave y sedosa. El aceite de ducha relajante se transforma en una espuma suave en contacto con el agua, dejando la piel maravillosamente suave. El aroma de rosa indio da un efecto relajante para el cuerpo y la mente. Usted puede comprar estos productos en la pagina web oficial de Rituals, así como en Barneys New York.

Con cada pedido de $70 o más usted recibirá palos de perfumes gratis (un valor de $35). La oferta termina el 12/27/14

Feliz Viernes!

El Viejo Jobo Restaurant

231 Sherman Ave 
New York, NY 10034
 between Isham Street & 207th Street (Inwood)

Many of you always ask me if I ever visit Dominican Restaurants, and the answer is 'yes! Yes I do'. I grew up eating this type of food and although I rarely eat it now (due to where I live) there are times when I take my girls to eat at one of my favorites. There are hundreds of restaurants serving the same food in uptown Manhattan but no one does it like El Viejo Jobo. The place is a little tight nonetheless if you like experiencing new cultures and great food you would love this place. They play spanish music and almost always someone will be drinking a Presidente (Dominican Republic's national beer) and randomly singing/dancing. 

This restaurant is a favorite of my family for it's homey staff, music and food. Just to say, this is the closest I've ever came to my dad's amazing cooking! & trust me, no one cooks spanish food like my dad. My daughters love the white rice and red beans accompanied with Pollo al Caldero, it melts in your mouth. I know this may sound weird to some but to me and my girls it's totally normal. We like eating rice and beans with a banana. My husband always teases me saying, 'How do you eat your food with a fruit? Should I eat my curry with an apple?' haha!

It's so normal for us though. Dominicans eat loads of plantains. Wether it's boiled, mashed, fried, steamed, we love them anyway! These squished plantains are called 'tostones'. They're peeled green plantains, cut into thick pieces then fried. Pulled out from the fryer after 2-3 minutes, squish with a flat surface, then re-fry them till crispy. When you pull them out the oil sprinkle a little bit of salt and enjoy:) Many people eat them with ketchup, I like them plain as a snack or as a side dish.

Everything in this place is delicious and always brings me back to my childhood. Like this chicken soup which has spaghetti, potato, carrots and chicken simmered in a flavorful broth. The soup is served with white rice as the traditional way of eating it involves spooning rice into the soup bowl and submerging the spoon into the broth. I love adding hot sauce and avocado to it. This soup is certain to take your cold away:)  

Just wanted to share this hidden gem with you guys. I hope you all have a wonderful week!
