Based on the 90s cult film, Cruel Intentions: The Musical pulls you into the manipulative world of Manhattan’s most dangerous liaisons: Sebastian Valmont and Kathryn Merteuil. Seduced by revenge and fueled by passion, the two diabolically charming step-siblings place a bet on whether or not Sebastian can deflower their incoming headmaster’s daughter, Annette Hargrove. As the two set out to destroy the innocent girl—and anyone who gets in their way—they find themselves entangled in a web of secrets, temptation, and the cruelest game of all: love.

The show features songs from the film’s iconic soundtrack as well as some of your favorite throwback hits from artists such as NSYNC, Britney Spears No Doubt, Christina Aguilera and more!  What’s more, this intoxicating new musical will be performed at Le Poisson Rouge, a cool downtown music and multimedia art cabaret venue in the heart of the West Village, where you can enjoy food and drink at tables with friends while indulging in this guilty pleasure!!

This is probably one of the easiest recipes I am going to share with you.  It is only 3 ingredients…super super easy to make and perfect for a weeknight family after school dinner….I made this last night and it was a hit!!!  I served it with rice but I think egg noodles would be the perfect side (this was my younger daughter’s suggestion and I could not agree more!!!!!).  Bon Appetit!!!

I was cleaning out the drawers in my bathroom yesterday and started looking around at the all items that stuck over the past year.  At least once a week, someone sends me beauty products to try and I do test them all out, and sometimes, my kids and my sister and mom do tooooooooo!!!!!!  Over the past year, these are some of my favorites that I have been using over and over.

I keep reading about the benefits of Pink Himalayan Sea Salt.  I have decided to use it from now on in all my recipes. There are so many reasons to switch to this salt.  It has so many health benefits.  It re-mineralizes the body with important minerals and 84 trace elements such as Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium and Copper and Iron  (the high iron content give the salt its pink color) .  All essential to health and well being.

Happy Martin Luther King day!!!!  I have been trying to sit down all day to write this post but the day really got away from me.  I am so excited about today’s book club choice.  It has been on my list for a while and I am just getting around to reading it, The Last Mrs Parrish: A Novel by Liv Constantine.  I am telling you this is just what we need for these dreary, cold January days!!!!  It has been called spellbinding, Mr Riplyesque, and there is a shocking twist at the end!!!  Woo Hoo!!!!!   Here is the summary:

Today I went with a group of readers to see the “once in a lifetime” Michelangelo 6 room exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  We hired curator, Emily McElwreath of of Sidel and McElwreath to give us a tour of the incredible pieces that depict Michelangelo as a supreme draftsman and designer.  Emily explained to us that this show was 10 years in the making.  All of the pieces are from 54 private collections throughout the US and Europe.  They even needed approval from the Queen to show some of the featured works.  Because of the age of the pieces, the exhibit is under dim lighting and after this all of the art will “rest’ in storage for 3 years.  Most of these drawings and sculpture have never been on display.  There is a reproduction of the Sistine Chapel, with the actual drawings of the images prior to them being painted.  This was our favorite part of the tour.   We stayed in the Chapel room wayyyy tooo long in awe of how amazing it was.  The exhibition runs until, February 12th…run don’t walk!!!!!  Maybe you will see me there because I am definitely going again!!!!!
