Never forget it!

Happy Hour Thursday!

Often as the sun is just rising, I’m the only one up and about in my apartment - puttering around the kitchen + coffee maker. I savor the quiet moments to myself, throwing in a bit of this, a bit of that into the large, white mixing bowl. Before you know it, the smell of something baking is slowly filling the apartment. So be sure to take your time, throw in a dash of Amaretto and warm up to the lovely rest of your day.

Amaretto-baked French Toast

3 eggs

1 cup milk

3 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons amaretto

1 loaf brioche bread, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

1 tablespoon butter (for greasing your baking dish)

1/2 cup pecans

maple syrup for serving

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, beat eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla & amaretto. Add brioche cubes and let mixture soak for 5 minutes. Spoon into a 9” x 12” well greased baking dish; sprinkle with pecans. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden. Pour maple syrup over; serve.

Pure Romance - Naughty and Nice!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Monday!

I am so happy Adele did so well this year at the Grammy's. I was in awe of her album "21" and think she deserved it all! Oh another note, I am really looking forward to summer and long starry nights, and relaxation. This NYC weather is cold and brutal and makes you want to stay in, light up the fireplace and watch a good movie... although that's pretty fun too <3

Finally Friday!

Animal Love!

Let's be frank: when the skies go gray, so do most wardrobes. There's something about cold weather that inspires-if that word even applies-our most "blah" outfits, and we know we're not the only ones. Take a look at the street on a winter day and you'll see a sea of dark soldiers dressed in black, charcoal, and navy, which is exactly why we all need to break the pattern and try something new. My suggestion: why not go for a pair of animal-print pants? As Hilary Rhoda demonstrates, you can keep things in the neutral family, while creating an outfit that's anything but! In short, it's the perfect response to a dismal forecast and an ideal option for a GNO (Girls Night Out), so I'm putting these pants in the spotlight!

Happy Hour Thursday!

Two more weeks until sun and relaxation....

Koh Samui, Thailand

Koh Samui (occasionally spelled Ko Samui) is an island of natural beauty and charm, a place where you can have your holiday anyway you like it, kicked back and relaxed or active and fastpaced.

Beautiful white sand beaches, clean, clear warm water; lush tropical gardens and gentle ocean breezes await you at this ideal holiday destination. If you love the beach, this is the place for you!

Paddleboarding can't come soon enough...

Bright Light Sunglasses!

Happy Monday!

Finally Friday!

The Mediterranean is callllling my name........ I wish I were laying on a beach right now, sun shining, sexy suit, and delicious cocktail. Enjoy your weekend, lovelies! xoxo

Happy Hour Thursday!

What to do this evening? I recommend building up that fire, drawing a hot bubble bath - and of course mix up a teakettle of hot toddies. You’ll feel toasty again in no time.

Hot Toddy
1 oz brandy
1 tsp honey
1/4 lemon
1 tea bag
1 cup hot water

Coat the bottom of a mug with honey. Add the brandy and the fresh juice of 1/4 lemon. Heat water and steep the tea bag to your liking. Pour the tea into the glass and stir. Garnish with a cinnamon stick + lemon slice. Serves 1.

10 Reasons Why Having Sex Is Good For Your Health

Paulo Coelho’s book titled “Eleven Minutes” suggests that the “act of coming together” just takes about 2-3 minutes, while the remaining 9 minutes are no more than an attempt to reach the “crescendo” when a hormonal discharge provides ecstasy like none other!

Scientists have often debated that sex is extremely beneficial for our health, but the lack of sex in good measures can have negative effects. On the other hand, too much sex can also be harmful; if you indulge in sex for more than 3 times a week, you are exposing yourself to the risk of a weaker immune system as well as vulnerability to infections…

1. The balance of your mental and emotional health is definitely influenced by sex. While abstinence often leads to anxiety or paranoia and even depression…having sex can cure cases of light depressions. After having exercised sex, the brain releases endorphins that decrease stress and induce a wonderful state of euphoria.

2. For all you women, having regular sex means freedom from expensive salon treatments. An excellent beauty treatment, having sex actually doubles the level of estrogen in women and makes their hair shine with brilliance while making their skin supple and softer.

3. And if you want to live longer, then look no further than your own bedroom. According to a research carried out at Queens University in Belfast, Ireland, having regular sex increases the lifespan in humans. It was found that out of the people of the same age and health, those who had more frequent orgasms faced 50% less death rate than who people who didn’t have frequent orgasms.

4. Sex is an excellent deep-cleansing treatment as well. Since sex is a strenuous but enjoyable exercise, when you have sex the pores of your skin are cleansed leaving a brighter and glowing skin as well as decreasing the risk of developing dermatitis.

5. An inexpensive and pleasurable exercise, sex can make you lose weight. When you have sex after a candlelight romantic dinner, not only do you burn all the fat and carbohydrates you consumed, but you also stay healthy at no extra cost! Consider this: A single session of passionate, mind-blowing sex (even regular sex) can burn about 200 calories. This is equivalent to running for 15 minutes on a treadmill!

6. Ladies, if you like you man to have bulging biceps then have sex more often. Sex is a great way to strengthen muscles. Imagine the effort made by your man through those difficult pushes and flexions! Of course, it all depends on the stunts in your bed…but it’s definitely better than running for miles on miles.

7. The more active your sex life, the more attractive and irresistible you

become for the opposite sex. Really! An active sex life means that your body gets into the habit of releasing more pheromones, chemicals that attract all those gorgeous, luscious women! No wonder Casanova was so popular!

8. Sex can sharpen your senses; especially enhance your sense of smell. After sex, prolactin is released that activates the stem cells in the brain to form new neurons in the olfactory bulb. This helps to improve your sense of smell.

9. A pain reliever, sex is TEN times more effective than painkillers such as Valium. Just before orgasm, the hormone oxytocin’s level rises almost 5 times, leading to release of large amount of endorphins. Endorphins are natural painkillers and relieve you of pain, minor headaches, and migraines without any after effects. Next time your lady has a headache, treat her with a vigorous session of lovemaking rather than a Valium.

10. The act of Kissing stimulates salivation, which helps clean food particles stuck between the teeth and lowers the acidity level in your mouth. This is the primary cause of tooth decay. So kiss all you want, after all it’s a great excuse!

So my dear friends, sex is not just good for the mind, the body, but the wallet as well!
