This week’s Book Club choice is Behind the Bid, Li-En Chong’s hilarious #OwnVoices debut – that reveals the secretive, elite world of high-end auctions, where class identity determines the rules.
Based on Chong’s eight years of experiences at Hong Kong-based international auction houses, Behind the Bid spins a laugh-out-loud, witty tale of what it takes to get to the top when you are weighed down with baggage that isn’t bespoke exotic leather. “Each incident and character in Behind the Bid holds a kernel of truth,” Chong explains, “Sometimes downplayed to seem more believable!”
A must-read for fans of Crazy Rich Asians and The Devil Wears Prada, luxury, ambition, and snark shine in this witty examination of wealth and excess. “Ambition requires a degree of ruthlessness and in women, it is too often criticized as aggressiveness,” Chong says, “I also wanted to address the stereotype of the docile Asian woman in a light-hearted way.”
Let’s all get together and read this book and then we can ask the author to speak to us via Zoom to answer our questions or to tell us some funny anecdotes like the time she cracked an exquisite sapphire ring. Click HERE to purchase the kindle or book or for more information!!!

The pandemic has highlighted areas of our lives that we once turned a blind eye to. Spending more time with the people we care about and doing the things we enjoy; just can’t be beaten.
There are some people out there who are also reconsidering the areas they live in. With millions of people fleeing the cities throughout the various city and state shutdowns, there is no doubt others wanting to make this move in the post-pandemic world.
Read on to discover what you need to know when doing just that.
Decide On a Location
Establish where you want to move to. The United States boasts thousands of cities. Alongside that, you will find a plethora of countryside locations. Research areas and places that you have ventured to against those you wish to.
Narrow down the options you have. Compare them against one another while conducting your research.
Find the Right Property for You
Explore the housing opportunities in these areas. Do you want a house that has been renovated or to move into one to work on yourself? Ensure you are getting the most for your money. Maximize your real estate venture by consulting Indiana mortgage lenders like The Home Loan Expert.
Make sure the amenities in the property and the local area suffice and meet any needs or demands you have. View any properties you have your eye on, whether in person or through video call. Imagine yourself and your belongings in the property.
Complete Documents and Registrations
Compile the relevant and appropriate paperwork you need for relocating. Consult with local authorities to distinguish the jurisdictions you will be governed by. Register your vehicle with the state governing bodies you will be under.
Research the state and national laws and how they differ in your new home; each state has its own variation of rules and regulations. Update your details with the relevant bodies. Leave no stone unturned before relocating to your new home.
Transfer Details Across
Enroll your children with any local educational institutions. Minimize any disruption to their teaching should you move partway through the academic year.
Register any pets with a veterinarian. Do not forget to register yourself and any family members with a general practitioner and doctor’s office. Update your details with any health insurance providers that you may have. Ensure you can access any treatments or medication without disruption.
Integrate into Your Community
Country communities tend to be tight-knit. You will get to know your neighbors well. Encourage your children to engage with any children in the area. Network with other people in your area.
Socialize with them and delve into the local culture. Build a support network as soon as possible to make the transition from bustling city life to a quiet, idyllic township a bit easier. Join social groups and clubs to meet like-minded individuals. Put yourself out there rather than alienating yourself. Your new friends await you!
Order up! The newest episode of Broadway Profiles features Waitress creator and incoming star Sara Bareilles. “The Broadway community is the heartbeat of New York City,” she said of the reopening. “I’m not the first to say it. I am echoing sentiments of people all over the world who feel like the pulse of this city is born in and out of this 10-block radius.”
We are lucky enough to have a block of orchestra tickets to see Sarah in Waitress on September 15 for the 2:00 pm matinee for $150. After many requests, we added a few matinees to our montly broadway scheudle. All of our readers who attend our group shows need to show proof of vaccine and a mask MUST be worn during the entire show. EMAIL me to save your spot!
Bareilles spoke about the decision to bring the musical to the Barrymore Theatre beginning on September 2. “When we talked about bringing Waitress back, the idea of being a part of the first night of shows back on Broadway—it gave me goosebumps, this opportunity to stand on stage and to feel the return, especially for my castmates and musicians and crew members and house staff and people who have been waiting to get the green light to go back to work,” she said. “We’re thrilled to say that the diner will get one more run on Broadway.” Oh and don’t forget we get to taste the pie too!!!!
It was time to refresh my skin again, so last week I went for my SECOND Secret Pro treatment with Jill at Gotham Plastic Surgery.
In case you missed the blog post on my first Secret Pro Treatment…. Secret Pro is a novel fractional radiofrequency (RF) micro-needling system designed to stimulate and remodel collagen and help address the common signs of aging. It’s ideally suited for use on patients who wish to regenerate and refresh the appearance of their skin.
Secret Pro is a procedure that improves signs of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, skin tone and texture, scars and acne scars, skin discoloration, and stretch marks, all with minimal downtime! You can achieve optimal results after one full treatment. It also can treat puffiness and bags under the eyes and reduce the appearance of “crepey” skin.
By adjusting the microneedles during the treatment, the radio frequency of Secret Pro can deliver energy at various depths, so that treatments can be tailored to address each patient’s concerns.
Secret Pro is safe for all skin types and has minimal downtime. Prior to the treatment, the aesthetician will do a consultation of your skin and come up with an individualized plan. When you arrive at your appointment and before starting the Secret Pro procedure, numbing cream is placed on the area to be treated so there is little discomfort during the process. For both of my Secret Pro treatments, I experienced very little redness which subsided within a couple of hours.
Jill, from Gotham Plastic Surgery, is very patient and sensitive to all her patient’s needs and concerns. She would love to meet your for a consultation for Secret Pro micro-needling. You’re going to love this treatment and what it can do for the appearance of your skin. Just after one treatment, you will see a noticeable difference in reducing wrinkles and acne scars and it will regenerate your skin to look and feel like new. You can call to make an appointment for your own customized plan with Jill at 646.791.3066.
THE RESULTS..one week after the second treatment!!!! Thank you so much to Gotham Plastic Surgery for your expertise and fabulous results!!!!!
And of course, feel free to EMAIL me directly with any questions about my treatments.
