We have a VERY LIMITED group of seats for Hadestown, 2019 BEST MUSICAL on October 15th at 7:00pm. The tickets are in the Mezzanine and they are $180 each. I know this is higher than we usually go but honestly this is such a good deal, since I requested these seats and with the Tony award, the ticket prices have skyrocketed…Email me to save your spot…these are going to go FAST!!!!
Hadestown intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, Hadestown is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.
One of our favorite restaurants, Fortina is now offering At Home meal kits. East kit contains a salad, pasta and dessert. You can order a meal for 2 or 4 people and you can call any Fortina location within 24 hours in advance to order (soon they will be available to ship nationwide!!!!). I am not really great with At Home meal kits but I decided to take the plunge with this one since we are HUGE Fortina fans. The recipes/directions were so easy to follow. All of the ingredients were fresh and laid out exactly for each step. And OMG did everything smell sooooo good when I was preparing it. Our kit contained, arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette dressing, baked ziti with Fortina’s homemade herbed ricotta and Nutella cannolis for dessert. Everything was so simple to prepare and so delicious. I cannot wait to try another!!! Click HERE to view the full Fortina At Home menu!!!
I have been reading how important it is for your face to go to the “gym”. Basically you work out your body regularly but what about your face muscles? I recently “met” Sarah Swanberg of Indigo Acupuncture and Wellness in Stamford, Ct. Sarah has just introduced an amazing new facial called the IndiGLOW treatment. It’s like taking your face to the Gym. Basically this treatment goes much deeper than a traditional facial, to stimulate the production of elastin and collagen on a cellular level. She begins with a Celluma LED mask, followed by customized facial work, including a scalp massage (YES!!!!!), guasha (which ‘lifts” the skin), and accurolling to release tight muscles on the face, skull and neck. And Voila…..Puffiness and the appearance of wrinkles will be reduced, improving your skin elasticity and enhancing your overall skin tone……you will leave looking RADIANT and GLOWING!!!….AMAZING…Sarah is offering this fabulous treatment for a limited time special for $120.

Today’s Book Club Monday Choice is Park Ave Summer by Renee Rosen. I knew I had to read it when the description said where Mad Men meets The Devil Wears Prada. Here is the story:
New York City is filled with opportunities for single girls like Alice Weiss, who leaves her small Midwestern town to chase her big-city dreams and unexpectedly lands a job working for the first female editor in chief of Cosmopolitan magazine, Helen Gurley Brown.
For Alice, who wants to be a photographer, it seems like the perfect foot in the door, but nothing could have prepared her for the world she enters. Editors and writers resign on the spot, refusing to work for the woman who wrote the scandalous bestseller Sex and the Single Girl, and confidential memos, article ideas, and cover designs keep finding their way into the wrong hands. When someone tries to pull Alice into a scheme to sabotage her boss, she is more determined than ever to help Helen succeed.
While pressure mounts at the magazine, Alice struggles not to lose sight of her own dreams as she’s swept up into a glamorous world of five-star dinners, lavish parties, and men who are certainly no good. Because if Helen Gurley Brown has taught her anything, it’s that a woman can demand to have it all. – Amazon.com

Getting this on in under the wire but I really wanted to show it to you before the holiday weekend was over…..I have a feeling this one is not going to last…You have to see the incredible grounds in this listing on Old Church Rd, in Greenwich Ct. It is really breathtaking. The inside is pretty cool too…I love the old world charm of the interiors but, sigh, I just keep dreaming about the gardens and the pool!!!
