Have you ever dreamed of a private chef coming to your home and spoiling your guests as well as yourself? Look no further than Creative Rajni of Cooked with LOVE. Chef Rajni is amazing and she offers the private chef experience, serving South Indian-inspired creative dishes in your home as well as fabulous cooking classes for her clients.
I recently hosted one of Creative Rajni’s dinners for a few amazing local Influencers. The food was perfection and Chef Rajni was a dream to work with. From planning the menu to pairing wine with the courses. I loved collaborating with her on this private chef dinner.
The outcome was a beautiful and exquisite dinner party!
Our menu consisted of vegetable crisps with a creamy garlic dip, Malabar chicken Biriyani, spiced peas with onions and coconut milk, and spiced beet yogurt. And our amazing dark chocolate cake with chocolate ganache from @mixingbowlnyc, beautiful centerpiece by @lavishgardener, and the incredible charcuterie by @traychictreats!!
Cooking has always been a passion of Chef Rajni. She grew up seeing her mom and grand-mom cook for her huge family in her hometown- Kerala, South India. They would be in the kitchen for hours together grinding, sauteing, seasoning, and cooking up her amazing creations of mostly coconut-based food with a ton of vegan options. Rajni has been cooking for over 18 years which includes getting hands-on experience working at the Michelin star chef Jean George’s restaurant kitchen. She has also trained at the Institute of Culinary education, NY for fine dining.
Creative Rajni is all about creativity in food, being fearless in the kitchen, and most importantly- COOKED WITH LOVE. She strives to combine fashion and food on a plate. Her belief is that creating delicious food is a work of art. All her meals produce chic and elegant plates of food inspired by South India.

Today I attended the 40th Annual Frederick Law Olmsted Awards Luncheon benefitting The Central Park Conservancy. The luncheon is the signature event of the Women’s Committee and is the premier luncheon in New York City. This invitation-only event raises over $4 million and honors some of the Park’s biggest supporters.
And it was fabulous….the hats were beyond, the dresses were out of this world and the attendees were amazing. I spent most of the afternoon catching up with so many friends that I had lost touch with since the Pandemic. There is honestly no other event quite like it. It is one of the most successful fundraising events in the country.
Here are some great photos from a great afternoon!!!!


























We are going to go to Potus on Broadway and have a fabulous dinner before at the gorgeous newly re-opened Lambs Club on June 14th. Dinner will start at 5 and the show is at 7. This is a very limited engagement and we have a block of orchestra tickets for $160 each. The show features Saturday Night Live’s Rachel Dratch and Vanessa Williams!!! Let’s Go!!! To save your spot for dinner and the show or just the show, Email me HERE.
Here is the story:
Broadway’s uproarious new comedy about the women in charge of the man in charge of the free world, POTUS will stake its flag on Broadway this spring at the iconic Shubert Theatre. POTUS marks the Broadway debut of 28-year-old playwright Selina Fillinger (Something Clean), in a production directed by five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman (The Producers, The Scottsboro Boys).
One 4-letter word is about to rock 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. When the President unwittingly spins a PR nightmare into a global crisis, the seven brilliant and beleaguered women he relies upon most will risk life, liberty, and the pursuit of sanity to keep the Commander in Chief out of trouble.





And don’t forget dinner at The Lamb’s Club

There are many benefits to visiting a day spa. People can relax, de-stress, and rejuvenate their bodies and minds. Day spas often offer a variety of services such as massages, facials, hair services, and more. Some people believe that day spas are more beneficial than traditional salons because they provide more individualized treatments. Here are the most popular benefits of visiting day spas.

Reduce stress
Spas offer a variety of services that can help you reduce stress and tension. Some of the features offered include massage, hydrotherapy, and aromatherapy. Massage is one of the most popular services because it helps to improve circulation and reduce stress. Hydrotherapy uses water to help improve circulation and relieve pain. Aromatherapy uses essential oils to promote relaxation and relieve stress.
Relax muscle
Massage therapies have been used for centuries to help relax the body. Today, you can enjoy the benefits of massage therapy at a day spa. Day spas offer a variety of massages, each with its own unique set of benefits. Swedish massage, for example, is a popular choice that uses long strokes to help relieve tension and stress. Other massages, such as deep tissue massage and hot stone massage, are designed to target specific areas of tension in the body.
Benefits of massage therapy include relief from tension headaches, improved circulation, and reduced stress levels. Massage also helps to loosen tight muscles and improve flexibility. In addition, massage can promote relaxation and peace of mind, which can be especially beneficial for those who lead stressful lives.
Improve circulation
Massage therapy which is offered in most of the spas has many benefits, including improving circulation. Improved circulation can help improve your overall health by bringing more oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and organs. This can help keep you healthy and functioning at your best. Additionally, massage therapy can help relieve tension and stress, which can also improve your overall health.
Detoxify the body
Detox baths are spa treatments that can help remove toxins from your body. The baths use ingredients like Epsom salts and baking soda, which help to open up your pores and draw out the toxins. The baths can also help to improve circulation and reduce inflammation.
Improve skin health
Spa treatments are a great way to improve the health and appearance of your skin. Facials, in particular, can help cleanse and exfoliate your skin, removing any impurities and leaving you with a radiant complexion. Additionally, facials can help improve circulation and promote collagen production, leading to firmer and more youthful-looking skin.
Good for your nail health
Nail health is an important part of overall health, and regular spa treatments can help improve the condition of your nails. Manicures and pedicures can help remove dead skin cells and debris from around the nail plate, as well as soften cuticles and stimulate blood circulation. This can help keep nails healthy and strong, and can also help reduce the risk of infection.
Conclusion
In conclusion, a day spa can provide a variety of health and wellness benefits. If you are looking for a way to feel refreshed and rejuvenated, consider scheduling a visit to a day spa.
