Fashionable Friend Friday

As I always say on this blog, you NEVER know who you are going to meet.  One day at one of my favorite restaurants, I started talking to the prettiest lady sitting at the table next to me.  She started to tell me about her career and I was so impressed.  Meet Carrie Brudner.  She is an FIT grad who started an event called Healthy Guru.  Her media sponsors are Shape and Social Life magazine.  Her Healthy Guru is an annual event that will be held in the summer in Southampton in July.  The event will start at 9 and feature all of the hottest exercise classes, fashion, instructors, trainers, makeup and hair looks and trends in healthy eating.  The day will continue into evening, with a cocktail party and fashion show and an after party at one of Southampton’s hottest night spots.  Carrie has asked NS LIFESTYLES to be part of the day with tons of lifestyle tips and treats so stay tuned!!!!!  For more info on the Healthy Guru, click HERE.







I was lucky enough to interview Carrie and hear all about the Healthy Guru event.  To listen to the interview, click HERE

A Great Blow Out

I am always in search of a perfect blowout.  The one that leaves your hair with a lot of pouf and lasts all day!!!  Recently I stumbled upon The Haus of Magnum in Greenwich, Ct.  Lucas, the owner has both an impressive resume and clientele.   He is quickly becoming the “go to” hair color and style artist in Greenwich!    The Haus of Magnum is offering a blowout special to NS LIFESTYLE readers, $25 if you make and appointment and mention this blog.  For more information on The Haus of Magnum, click HERE.





Oxygen Facial

Last week I tried an Oxygen facial at dermatologist Dr. Kim Nichol’s Greenwich, Ct office.  I have been reading that this is the facial that celebrities swear by.  This treatment promises to leave the skin brightened, hydrated, rejuvenated, radiant and fresh.  The company that Dr. Nichols uses is Intraceuticals from Australia, a favorite of Madonna, Jessical Biel, Naomi Campbell and many more.  According to Dr Nichols:
“The Hyaluronic Acid helps to instantly hydrate the skin
resulting in Increased firmness, reduced appearance of fine lines and
wrinkles, improved look to facial contours and overall radiance.
Products provide essential layers to seal in and supplement skin
nutrients for maximum synergistic effect and longer lasting results.”

I loved the feeling of the facial and how great my skin looked afterwards.   It was plumped and brightened.  Sign me up again!!  Dr. Nichols is offering a special on this facial until the end of May.  When you make an appointment mention that you saw it on NS Lifestyles!!!  Enjoy!!!! 

Breathe Salt Room

I was lucky enough to try the Breathe Salt Room last week.  This has been a popular form of natural therapy in Europe and Russia for a while.

Dry Salt Therapy is a natural and holistic treatment for adults and children that has been known to aid in detoxifying the respiratory system, healing skin conditions, promoting better breathing, sounder sleep and overall wellness.   It can help to alleviate symptoms of allergies, asthma, COPD, snoring, sleep apnea, sinusitis, bronchitis, colds, flus and so much more.

I found the Himalayan salt therapy room so relaxing and honestly my breathing felt clearer than it had been in a while.  I definitely recommend it.  They even told me it is good to help clear acne.

Book Club Monday

This week’s Book Club Monday is The Charm Bracelet by Viola Shipman.  The story goes like this:

Through an heirloom charm bracelet, three women will rediscover the importance of family and a passion for living as each charm changes their lives.
On her birthday each year, Lolly’s mother gave her a charm, along with the advice that there is nothing more important than keeping family memories alive, and so Lolly’s charm bracelet would be a constant reminder of that love.
Now seventy and starting to forget things, Lolly knows time is running out to reconnect with a daughter and granddaughter whose lives have become too busy for Lolly or her family stories.
But when Arden, Lolly’s daughter, receives an unexpected phone call about her mother, she and granddaughter Lauren rush home. Over the course of their visit, Lolly reveals the story behind each charm on her bracelet, and one by one the family stories help Lolly, Arden, and Lauren reconnect in a way that brings each woman closer to finding joy, love, and faith.
A compelling story of three women and a beautiful reminder of the preciousness of family Viola Shipman’s The Charm Bracelet is a keepsake you’ll cherish long after the final page.


This is the first non-fiction book by author Wade Rouse, who is using the pen name Viola Shipman for this story.  I really enjoy Wade’s writing.  I recently was lucky enough to interview him on my radio show.  To listen to the interview and learn more about the Charm Bracelet and Wade’s other works, please click HERE.
