Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices


I have been hearing sooooo much about Ralph’s Famous Italian Ices that recently opened on the Post Rd in Mamaroneck, NY.  Every time I have driven by, since the opening, there have been crazy lines so  I knew we had to go and check out what all the hype was about!!!!!!   Last night I grabbed my girls and their friends to check it out.  OMG!!!! What a treat.  Whether you have the water ice or the creme ice or the soft serve ice cream you will not know what hit you.  We met the nicest server named Scott, he was definitely the man in chargel and he gave us a bunch of flavors to taste.   From Root Beer, to Malibu Bay Breeze to Strawberry to Smores they all were delicious.  Westchester and Fairfield Readers, RUN DON’T WALK to Ralph’s.  Also, if you are not close by, check out the website for locations near you.  It is one of the best new additions to our area in a lonnnggggggg time!!!  Happy Icing!!!!!!

Pom Pom Sandals


Pom Pom accessories are all the rage this summer.  I especially love the pom pom sandals.  They look great with a bright colored top and white jeans.  The best part is there are so many different styles for all budgets.  Happy Shopping!!

Star Wars Costumes

Last week I took my nephews to see the Star Wars costume exhibit at the Discovery Museum in Times Square.  On display were over 70 of the actual costumes used in the Star Wars movies, including the amazing C3PO, R2D2, Darth Vader, Yoda and sooo many more.  I have to say that it totally rivals anything I have seen at the MET!!!!!!!!!!!  Needless to say, you HAVE to go.  Anyone who has grown up seeing the movies, young and old, will be amazed by what is on display!!!!  I must admit that it is one of the BEST exhibits I have ever seen!!!!    May the Force Be With You!!!!!!

Fashionable Friend Friday

This week’s Fashionable Friend Friday is a Skin Genius!!!  Julie Pipolo of Skin Westchester, a licensed Aesthetician with over 30 years of experience, is the bomb in skincare.  I have been going to her religiously for the past 5+ years.  I never miss or cancel.  I have been known to keep my appointment despite being under the weather and asking Julie to put on a face mask to block the germs.  That is how addicted I am!!!!  Julie keeps up on the latest and greatest treatments.  In fact, she offers most services BEFORE your own dermatologist.  I have been known to interview specialists that recommend new treatments that Julie has offered for a while.   I have to say she has changed my life.  She is truly brilliant.  Bon Weekend!!!!

Outdoor Target Love

With June beginning, I am still working on my outdoor space.  I’ve decided to turn to Target and check out what they have to offer.  I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised.   How great are these outdoor items?  So chic yet so cost effective!!!   Happy Shopping!!!

Black Tap

We decided to try Black Tap in the meatpacking district of NYC for my daughter’s bday.  Black Tap is known for its amazing craft burgers, sides and outrageous shakes.  The only downfall is that there is usually a long wait to get in.  They don’t take reservations so it is first come first serve.  We waited 2 hours!!!!!   But, it was certainly worth it.  Despite the wait, Black Top is still insanely popular and definitely one of the hottest restaurants in NYC right now!!!
