Ozthegreatandpowerful

Oz The Great and Powerful opens this weekend, and having just seen an advanced screening, you'll want set aside some time for your family to see it---  what a treat it was!  This magical fairytale of a movie features James Franco, Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz (just to name a few players from the powerhouse cast,) and is unlike any movie you've seen -- at least recently.  The only movie I can compare it to, and peripherally at that, is Lord of Rings, in the sense that the Oz … [Read more...]

Last month, we did the normal end of year closet clean out and donation and I've found myself with very few things that I like to wear. When it comes to shopping, I have a few issues/requirements. First, I don't like to spend a ton of money on clothes. I don't wear high end designers and I'm happy to buy stuff anywhere from Target to Banana Republic. Second, I don't like to wear things that everyone else is wearing. Luckily, I have recently found a few local boutique shops that sell cool looking … [Read more...]

100% pure organic cosmetics

One of the things I promised myself that I would do this year is take better care of my skin. I am fortunate to look younger than I actually am, but as I celebrate the anniversary of my 29th birthday every year, I wonder when my luck is going to run out. Last month I took a business trip to California and while there, I met up with friends for dinner. As we walked around downtown San Jose, my friend wanted to make a quick pit stop into a cute little store where she could stock up on some of … [Read more...]

At 6 years old, my daughter is a fashion diva. I'm not kidding - she is very particular about what she wears. No jeans. No sweatpants. A lot of purple. Has to have sparkles or some kind of bling. Leggings have to be tight on the bottom. No yoga pants. The list goes on. If I shop for her, I have to bring her with me or else I wind up returning probably 90% of what I bought. I'm not quite sure how she got here. I am certainly no fashion plate. Working from home, it's really easy to fall into … [Read more...]

Brave is Not Disney’s Same Old Love Story

brave

Disney Pixar's latest movie is about a young girl with crazy red hair and gigantic blue eyes, who is a princess but not very princess-like, who does not live in an imaginary land, whose mother does not die in the beginning of the movie and who does not fall in love with a handsome prince. Based on all of these reasons, and more, Brave is sure to be a huge hit this summer. Set in Scotland, the story of Brave centers around a young princess Merida who wants to buck tradition and make her … [Read more...]

Guest Blogger: Mark Levine, Publisher, EastofNYC.com   Waterfront dining on Long Island does not have to break the bank. I'm always telling my daughter how lucky we are to live on an island where in the summer months we have an almost endless supply of beautiful views and a plethora of restaurants that offer outdoor and waterfront dining. Not all waterfront restaurants are so expensive that they are prohibitive; there are plenty of dining options for all budgets, and we're here to help … [Read more...]
