I cannot believe my first born baby turned 10 this year! We have these big plans of paying off debt and saving for a house but that did not stop me from wanting to celebrate Naliya in a big way. She is really into Japanese cuisine and culture. What better way to celebrate than with a surprise Japanese dinner party.

Some women are blessed in the collagen and elasticity department when it comes to dealing with stretch marks. Unfortunately, I am not one of them. I have the typical stretch marks that occur with growth spurts, puberty and weight gain/loss. But then there are a special kind of stretch marks, pregnancy stretch marks. 

This is my third pregnancy and apart from the stretch marks that occured while carrying my first born, I do not think I have added any new ones. Here is how I avoided adding additional stretch marks with this last pregnancy. 

This past saturday I hosted, Haute Babe - a blogger and friends meetup at Haute Heart Bk, an indoor cycling studio in Bushwick, NY. 

Empowered women, empower women. What better way to network, get to know other female bloggers and celebrate Valentine's than by having a Galentine's meetup? Last week I did just that, I hosted Galentine's at Rock'n'Joe in Union, NJ with blogger pal Lillie of Jersey Fashionista.

This past weekend I had the awesome opportunity to attend Family Movie Night with US Weekly & Orville Redenbacher's Popcorn at Boston's Prudential Center Courtyard & Garden. I had never been to Boston and was pretty excited for the road trip. My husband was unable to attend due to work but my Mom is the ultimate co-pilot and was more than happy to accompany me and the kids.
