Your Best Self – November 2014

I blinked, and now we’re nearly in December!  Where has the year gone?  November is always a busy month for me.  I run around attending corporate events, preparing for both my kids birthday parties, and prepping for Thanksgiving festivities.

I am ready for some down time!  It seems like just yesterday we were discussing the expansion of the DASHA® brand venturing into the unknown. Things certainly happen in moderation (the theme of the month!) at DASHA®.  I am thankful for the happy calls that I receive from clients who have enjoyed their spa service or are living pain-free because of our providers, or the awesome news about a client getting pregnant after fertility treatments from our acupuncture team.  I can’t bid goodbye to November without talking about some of my favorite things to help create your best self!

BEAUTY.   Rodan + Fields’ “Redefine” is a comprehensive skin care program that I have been using for the past month. This 3-step regimen has a peptide technology to combat your skin’s visible signs of aging and lead to firmer and smoother skin with toner, SPF 30 cream, a daily cleansing mask, and an overnight cream.

FASHION.  It’s cold.  Too soon for my taste, but nevertheless, the reality that winter is around the corner has set in.  And sometimes I get chilly, even when relaxing at home.  Nothing keeps me toastier than luxurious but totally worth it Ugg slippers.  They are yummy when you need to take the chill away and want to get cozy!  A girl has got to treat herself right, especially after wearing heels all week.  They come in a variety of great colors.  You will not regret it!

FOOD.  Back by popular demand, I am excited to deliver delicious pies for Thanksgiving to my awesome team, courtesy of the PTA from PS 397 – Spruce Street School.  Just before we break for Thanksgiving weekend, my team will be leaving with a fresh blueberry or apple pie to share with their family on Thanksgiving.  We love delivering a Thanksgiving treat to the tables of our hardworking team while also benefitting a good cause.  The holiday spirit is all about giving!

COMMUNITY.  DASHA® is making a contribution of over a 125 complimentary wellness services to “Riley’s Rides,” a Soul Cycle charity event.  Every attendee will receive a DASHA® gift bag with some goodies on December 6th at 6:00pm at SoulCycle on East 83rd Street and in Woodbury, Long Island to support the Riley Sandler Memorial Foundation.  They have just under 40 days left to reach their goal of $1 million, and DASHA® wants to help them meet their goal!  Click HERE to donate.

CULTURE.  Family visiting or kids off from school?  Take them to the Museum of Modern Art, free after 4:00pm on Fridays, the Children’s Museum on the Upper West Side (free on the first Friday of each month from 5:00pm to 8:00pm), or the Brooklyn Children’s Museum, free every Thursday from 3:00pm to 5:00pm, and until 7:00pm the third Thursday of each month. Don’t forget to take a walk down to the Union Square Holiday Market if you are looking for some fun holiday gifts in New York and an enjoyable holiday shopping experience.

DASHA®.  Gift cards have arrived for the holidays! Gift well this season with a DASHA® Gift Card.  They make the perfect gift for your family friends and coworkers. Available in $50 increments, they come in a sleek ready-to-go gift box.
