So it's that time of year when we make our own suggestions for the holidays BloomThat This is a florist on demand, you forgot your spouse's anniversary, birthday, or you are going out on a date and forgot to be gentleman and pick up some flowers. Well Bloom That has you covered all you have to do is select a bouquet and within 90 min. It is delivered to you or that person. It is currently in Manhattan and Brooklyn and San Francisco, but this company is something that we heart because it takes out the 2 day wait through traditional florist and let's face it flowers at the grocery store don't have that elegant feel. One We met the co founder back in July, who said he was going to replace traditional passports. He was going to do it through his technology of One, which is a smart card for all your travel needs. I didn't fully appreciate his pitch until planning a vacation and realized my passport expired and had to wait over 8 weeks for a new one. With his techno...

We know we wrote an article about holiday stress, but that actually is to protect yourself from Holiday leeches. But, as Bing Crosby Sang It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year! So how in preparation for the holidays, we should take better care of our selves in advance. 1. Load Up on Sleep 8 hours for real. 2. Schedule your holiday calendar in order of importance. 3. Don't go to a late night party, then host a brunch the next day. 4. Go two days make up free. This will give your skin a chance to breathe and your nerves a chance to settle. Too much stimulus is no good either. 5. Eat properly fiber, fiber, fiber....so that you won't be bloated or constipated. 6. Vitamins- My vitamin regiment consists of B 12 injections, Vitamin D, CoQ10 and Vitamin C. They are excellent and I purchase them from high quality store such as inVite which will be more expensive but they are worth it in so many ways. 7. Consider doing one charitable thing for the holiday season. You don...

Cleaning up before our date arrives So how can we learn to prepare ourselves for our true soul mate. 1. Take inventory of your life if you had any type of abuse, whether it was sexual, emotional, psychological manipulation, etc. Deal with it! Even if you need to book time with a therapist. 2. Forgive the offenders and don't say to them I forgive you, because some people are so sick, they will turn the tables and deny everything. 3. Practice self love by being more aware of people, be present and be aware. Take care of your health, get check ups, neccessary screenings. Mediate! 4. Notice the red flags in people Any form of anger is No, No, (I don't care of their position.) Jealousy certain people in a relationship men and women can't stand when another partner is more successful. Suspicious, is a major RED FLAG! 5. Allow good people to come into your life. If a person wants to listen to you for hours on the phone, without phone sex, you have a winner. 6. Write down...

Why should you put a warning sign for the Holiday Season? A lot of Holiday stress can be avoided by people who are naturally inclined to give to STOP! The world is not going to come to an end because you didn't go into debt or you didn't feel false guilt to give undeserving people your treasures. Instead there are people who would love to lavish you with gifts and praises. You don't need to find them they will come to you when you get rid of the leeches. Certain people have used you as the host, you know bacteria but, your antiseptic to them is NO! Don't be mean about things, just decline the invites of people who you know are out for your goodness. No it's not ungodly, as a member of a religious community to say NO. In fact in Christianity Jesus, never chased people to be blessed, he also said NO by retreating for rest, relaxation and mediation. Remember you can't give from an empty cup. So this holiday season make it your point to say NO to the leeches...

We hear a lot about detoxs, juicing, fasting, but we don't hear a lot is about vitamins. Okay drink your OJ because it is good for you. But, why?? Because it has Vitamin C which is essential for the immune system but it is powerful against aging. Many beauty serums today are made with some potent form of Vitamin C to prevent or reverse aging. But why not just eat the fruit or take a doctor's order supplement. Another powerful vitamin is B 12, which the body naturally produces, unfortunately some people like myself produce so little of the vitamin a doctor's shot is needed. Doctor will only order it if your base line is low and they did a complete blood panel. B 12 is so important because it protects your body's nervous system. Anyone who suffers from anxiety is probably taking B12 along with a prescription anti aniexty medication. Ever get a major migraine, and didn't know why? Check your liver panel with your doctor a diet that is rich in proccessed foods would...

You may think that department stores are going out of business and are obsolete. Not true and here's the reason why: 1. Many specialty stores such as Sephora only sell the best selling brands of make up and body products. So if you want a specific item from a YSL collection or Bobbi Brown collection, department stores carry the full collection because they can afford the licensing fees associated with those brands. 2. Fashion Well I just go to Beacons Closet or Goodwill stores, it is cheaper, not necessarily true, we did a price comparison and for two dresses and a pair of pants, would have cost the same, had you bought it at Saks. Also, many Fashion Directors for such stores the brilliant Ken Downing for Nieman Marcus comes to mind has an excellent trained eye for detail, what pieces can legally hold up under store lights and the ease of transport to and from manufacturer. They buffer counterfeit goods: Many goods you get unless it is at the designers own store, and you get...
