Fashionable Friend Friday

posted on : February 26, 2016 posted by : nicolesteinthal 0 Comment

This week’s Fashionable Friend Friday is my dear friend Karen.  She is an amazing wife, mother, and CHEF!!…She started bottling her Grandma Napoli’s tomato sauce secret recipe a few years ago and it sure is GRAND!!!!  Recently she started having cooking demonstrations in her home, where she teaches easy recipes to help bring back the art of having family dinner together.  Karen invites 3-4 ladies into her kitchen, fondly called “K’s Kitchen” and she cooks three easy weeknight dinners, having you watch all the steps along the way, so you can recreate the cullinary masterpiece for your own family.   While Karen cooks, you and your friends and sit down and have a fun, casual beautifully placed and plated lunch.  I have asked Karen to do a demonstration of an easier way of cutting an onion so I can bring you all into K’s Kitchen.  For more information on K’s Kitchen or to buy Grandma’s Napoli’s Sauce, contact Karen HERE.

After running from meeting to meeting today in the city in the rain, I am finally back home focusing on getting all the things done on my to do list.  One of the first things, is to revamp my home office.  I spend a lot of time in my office, answering emails, making calls and even broadcasting my Radio Show.  I want my home office to be functional, comfortable and chic.  I have been searching for the best accessories for my desk and couch that currently exists in there.  Any of these things would help take my office from DRAB to FAB in no time!!

I and You

posted on : February 22, 2016 posted by : nicolesteinthal 0 Comment
Yesterday a group of friends and I joined my sponsor Fortune Theatricals for their “A Day At the Theater” series.  They do this event about once every three or four months and bring a group to see a show with special pricing and have a disucssion with the cast and or director afterwards.  I have gone a few times and it is MAGICAL!!  Yesterday’s group was treated to the show I and You.  If you are interested in joining our theater group please email Ashley DeSimone HERE or ashley@fortunetheatricalventures.com.


Here’s the Synopisis of I and You:

Classmates but virtual strangers, Caroline and Anthony have more in common than they 
know.

Homebound due to illness, Caroline is something of a loner. So when popular student
Anthony unexpectedly arrives to work on a school project about Walt Whitman’s Leaves of
Grass, she is less than thrilled. But, as the poetry project progresses, Caroline finds herself 

opening up in ways she never imagined possible, and the two discover a deeper mystery 

has brought them together.

An ode to life, love and human connection, I and You will warm your heart and leave you 

breathless.

Weekend Real Estate Stalking

posted on : February 20, 2016 posted by : nicolesteinthal 0 Comment

I love spending time in Southampton over the summer.  My dream would be to find a little cottage and just spend the summer months on Little Plains Beach stopping into town from time to time and visiting friends all along the East End.  Of course, I love getting the weekly SH real estate updates.  This week an amazing estate was highlighted.  Here is the perfect 11 bedroom beach house which onced belonged to the Carnegie family, named Meadowmere, and can be yours for a mere $32,500,000.
