Zumba Shake Shake Shake Launch

Last month I attended the launch of  Zumba Shake Shake Shake™. The launch event included a zumba class, and a sampling of the protein-packed 100-calorie drink. I loved the taste of the shake - I made sure to sample it a few times, and was surprised to learn that the shake has under 1 gram of sugar per serving. The shake is a vegan, gluten-free, allergen and dairy-free powdered drink available in three flavors: Coco Loco, Thrilla in Vanilla and La Vida Mocha.

It is really easy to make the shake - just mix one of the flavored powders with either cold water or milk (Almond is the preferred choice), put it in a blender, add some ice and mix until you have a creamy, milkshake consistency. The drinks are available at www.ZumbaShake.com for $129 for a 30 day pack (960g) or $99 with a $30 off code from your Zumba® instructor, which is a substantial discount! You can find fun and easy shake recipes at www.ZumbaShake.com and share your shake stories on social media using #HowDoYouShake. 

To find a Zumba® class, please visit Zumba.com.

Backstage at Hickey Freeman Fall/Winter 2016 at New York Fashion Week: Mens

Backstage at Hickey Freeman Fall/Winter 2016, for New York Fashion Week: Mens, Anton K. for Artis and Sisley Paris walked me through model prep for the presentation. Check out my interview with Anton K. as he goes over the function and performance of the Artis Fluenta Collection, specifically with the Artis Fluenta Oval 8, and how it helps to easily and effectively apply Sisley products to achieve the look for each model. 

The Artis Fluenta Collection has a beautiful design aesthetic, with a metallized "chrome finish, with a matte black microtextured grip section. The elongated neck provides fluidity for more control and flexibility when applying makeup. The collection uses CosmeFibre®, which is a trademark engineered fibre developed exclusively for superior makeup application and outperforms animal hair by reisting UV, chemical challenges, and wear testing for more consistent application than animal hair used in conventional makeup brushes. 

Here's my interview with Jon Reyman for Aveda, as he takes me through the four different hair looks for the presentation.

Adam Caldera is my favorite male model, who models under Ford and is also in med school. I couldn't stay to see Adam in his look for the presentation but it was great running into him!

Recap: Real Simple Beauty & Balance Preview

On Friday, April 8th, I attended the annual Real Simple Beauty & Balance preview at the Andaz Hotel at 485 Fifth Avenue. Guests enjoyed Pure Barre Master Trainer fitness class, dry-styling by Drybar, makeup touch-ups from Laura Geller, threading shaping, perfecting and temple massage by Wink Brow Bar. The preview ended with a cocktail party serving up drinks by Tito's Vodka, hors d'oeuvres and sweet treats from Chobani Simply 100. 

Since I was going out that night, I skipped the fitness class but got all the beauty treatments done. I opted for loose curls from Drybar, with Triple Sec The perfect 3-in-1 (texturizes, amplifies and refreshes hair), Detox Dry Conditioner, and Sparkling Soda Shine Mist used on my hair. 

For my Laura Geller makeup touch-up, the following products were used for my modern classic look:

Foundation: Golden Medium

Bronzer: Baked Sculpting Bronzer

Lid: Rosemist

Mascara: Black

Lip Gloss: Cherry Sorbet

Shopping Haul and Recap: Gilt City Warehouse Sale Press Preview - April 2016

Elizabeth and James Britton Silk Wrap Top

MSRP: $285.00

Sale Price: $59.00

During press preview night on April 8th at the Gilt City Warehouse Sale, I snagged some amazing finds under $100, even though there seemed to be a pricier selection of clothing items this time around.There was also an additional 20% off all Red, Green, Beige, Lavender and Pink price tags. 

A few years back the Gilt sale used to be very exclusive on VIP night, but now they have opened up the press preview as a ticketed event, making it seem more like a public shopping night. So if you plan on going to the next Gilt sale, I recommend getting there ahead of time, to make sure you are one of the first ones through the door. I did like the new coat check system, though. You no longer have to worry about losing your coat check ticket. When you check in your coat, the ticket number/confirmation is automatically sent to your phone. It's a great feature as long as you keep it charged and running, and don't lose your phone.
