Straight To The Point

Ladies, it's time to dust off those pointy shoes you have been storing in your closet for the past five+ years. The pointy toe is back and better than ever. Whether you decide to pair them up with jeans, trousers, or flirty dresses the possibilities are endless. I'm especially excited about the return of the pointy kitten heel. My ankles are already thanking me.

Eye Candy of The Week

Happy Three Kings Day! Today marks the official end to the holiday season. I'm kind of sad at the fact that I will be taking down all of my Christmas decorations tomorrow. Check out last year's Three Kings post here. Have a great weekend!

New Year, New Skin

I have a few New Year's resolutions. One of them is to take better care of my skin. This year I vow to...

1. Remove my make up at night -always. Even if I am dead tired I will use one of these pre-moistened cloths to remove any trace of makeup. I find Ponds cold cream perfect for removing eye makeup.
2. Moisturize at night with coconut oil. The winter is especially harsh on my skin and I find this natural moisturizer gives me a nice glow without clogging my pores. Best of all it smells amazing!
3. Wash my pillow cases once a week. I think this one small change will make a huge difference in my skin.
4.Drink lots of water. So hard sometimes, but with all the detoxifying benefits it so worth it.
5. I alway use a moisturizer with SPF before going outside, but I want to start paying more attention to the hands, neck, and chest. Ladies, it's all about prevention. Don't forget to take care of these areas as they can age prematurely.

Do you have any beauty resolutions this year?

Cubanos with Chipotle Mayo

What happens when you are in charge of making the pernil (roasted pork shoulder) for your family's New Year's Eve party and you have massive leftovers the following day?  You make Cuban sandwiches, duh!  The addition of chipotle mayo was inspired by one of my favorite spots in NYC, Cafe Habana.

Step 1:  Blend 2 chipotles in adobo with a 1/2 cup of mayo

Step 2: Assemble your Cubano: Chipotle mayo on both sides of the bread, a generous helping of roasted pork, a few slices of ham, Swiss cheese, and last, but not least the pickle.

Step 3: Press on a panini press or in my case a good old George Foreman grill until cheese is melted.

Chris and I enjoyed these while watching the Twilight Zone marathon.  The perfect hangover cure.
