Pet's are a huge part of our lives and family but they are also a major responsibility- if we have a pet it is our job to take care of them when they are sick, maintain their health and love them- i think that's the least we can do when all they give us is unconditional love. When i first got Keoki i couldn't believe his vet bills ( remember i live in NYC- ouch!) i had a really tough financial year and decided it would be smart to get pet insurance just in case anything happened and i had to charge it, borrow money, etc. I can honestly say it was one of the BEST investments i ever made. I searched and researched and found that Petplan was the best insurance for us. Keoki has been in the emergency room twice since then totaling about $6000.00!!!!! And i have literally gotten 90% of my money back!!!! With Petplan you have a choice of deductibles and percentages of what you would like to get back in case of an emergency. I feel truly blessed and grateful to have invested in this from the beginning because it has literally paid for itself. There are only 2 plans that i recommend if you are interested in Pet insurance- PETPLAN and EMBRACE ( my friend Daun has that one and loves it). The thing is you need to purchase it when your dog is young and healthy. Accidents happen so it's better to be safe than sorry and not be stressed about whether you can or cannot afford the right care for your pet. Check out their websites and invest in something that will make a difference in your bank account and the way you take care of your pet- it is one of the BEST things i ever invested in........<br />

I have had it since i was younger..... it's a serious addiction..... to lip balm. It started with the big Bonnie Bell LipStick but as i grew older and became more health conscience of what i was putting on my body i searched and searched until i found the perfect, natural balm. Let's call a spade a spade- everyone wants soft, kissable lips and most lip balms leave a waxy coat but i found something that i literally can't live without.... SWEETSATION CHOCO*SMOOTCH organic lip and face balm for dry, chapped and peeling skin. It has Argan, Calendula, Sea Buckhorn and Coconut Oil along with many other yummy, natural ingredients... It lasts about 2 months, tastes AMAZING on your lips and keeps them nice, soft, hydrated and kissable. You can only order it on Amazon so i usually buy a few at a time. At $12.00 a pop they are worth every penny. I can usually be seen smothering this stuff on my lips numerous times a day and everyone is always asking me what it is. So if you deal with dry, chapped lips try the balm i literally can't live without.... it's the BEST!!!!!!<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Choco-Smooch-Organic-Calendula-Buckthorn/dp/B002ZORWGO/ref=pd_rhf_pe_p_t_2">http://www.amazon.com/Choco-Smooch-Organic-Calendula-Buckthorn/dp/B002ZORWGO/ref=pd_rhf_pe_p_t_2</a><br />

I recently took a trip to my hometown of Miami. Home is definitely where the heart is and where some of the favorite foods i crave are as well. My best friend Darcy and i had an amazing time and she indulged my Miami cravings. I have been going to La Sandwicherie in Miami since i was younger and i crave it when i'm in NY. They have the best secret sauce and cornichons ( baby pickles) that make any sandwich amazing and the french bread they put your sandwich on is YUMMMMY!!!! Darcy and i got our usual- a veggie with extra special sauce. The ambiance of la sandwicherie is nothing special- It's a little counter that's usually packed with Miami locals but you can watch as the staff prepares your sandwich and can see how clean and fresh ( because of their high volume ) everything is. La Sandwicherie is THE BEST sandwich place i have EVER been to. It's a slice of home that i highly recommend and just 2 blocks from the beach if there is no room at the counter you can sit by the ocean and have one of the best sandwiches in the world.... You can't really get better than that.... Check out their website <a href="http://www.lasandwicherie.com/">http://www.lasandwicherie.com/</a><br />

Well when i first got him i had a Manhattan vet that i shortly realized was robbing me blind with unnecessary vaccinations, office visits, etc. I felt really taken advantage of.... One day i was walking my stinker in my hood and bumped into a friend that had also been taken advantage of by this same vet and she told me about the vet she traveled to that was an hour outside of the city, SMITHRIDGE VETERINARY CLINIC, and how the doctors were AMAZING, holistic, integrative based and not thieves so i decided to give them a try and have never looked back. Dr. Marty Goldstein ( who has a weekly radio show on Martha Stewarts Sirius Radio ) is the owner and people fly from around the world for help with their very ill animals- he also has a wall of fame- even Oprah has taken her furbabies to him!!!! But it's not only Dr. Marty - ALL of the doctors that practice in this facility- are AMAZING, thorough, and on top of their game. They actually sit and talk with you when you bring your baby in- i was in there for almost an hour for Keoki's annual. I have nothing but great things to say about this practice and highly trust them. If you live in the tri-state area and you care about your four legged friend run don't walk here. They also specialize in treating cancer, etc. Check out their website or read Dr. Marty's book. Let's face it animals are part of our family so why not give them the best possible care we can so we can extend their lives. That's why SmithRidge is the BEST VETERINARY CLINIC!....

In NYC we are so lucky to have access to amazing organic juice bars so it was hard to come up with one just being the BEST- honestly they are all great but this one is my favorite and i am known to walk miles, literally, for my favorite smoothie and juice. I am addicted to THE JUICE PRESS. I usually go to the one on 10th between 1st and A but they have a few different locations around the city and are opening one on the West Side soon (Thank God)!!! They have an AMAZING selection of cold pressed juices, raw foods and OFF THE CHAIN smoothies!!!!! My favorite superfood smoothie is Heaven on Earth- it's dates, bananas, homemade almond milk, organic rice protein powder, raw cacao, homemade almond butter and cinnamon!!! YUMMMMMY!!!!! And i am also obsessed with ALL of their juices but especially Love at First Sight- spinach, kale and green apples. And one of my favorite treats is the Raw Oatmeal- My mouth is watering writing this.... The staff is very helpful and nice, they have great cleanses and it's spotlessly clean. So yes the juice press may be a bit more expensive but the quality, taste and integrity of their products are the reason why- EVERYTHING in this place tastes GREAT!!! So if you're into looking and feeling great check out my favorite juice place in NYC- your taste buds will thank you......<br />

Only recently did i find a line of products that are inexpensive and do not make me break out!!! ( Almost every sunblock i have ever tried has made my sensitive skin breakout!!!) My friend Tricia told me her dermatologist recommended Ocean Potion for sensitive skin and babies and I LOVED it!!! It's Oxybenzone and PARABEN FREE!!!!! That makes me SO HAPPY!!!! And yes it's the little things that make me happy... Most of Ocean Potions products are Paraben free!!! I also decided to try the Face Clear Zinc Oxide and the Dark Tanning Oil with Coconut and Carrot oils and it made me DARK ( don't tell my dermatologist i said that) and the daily face lotion with Retinol. I think these products are the best that i have tried and they are also very inexpensive which makes them even better. I order mine online at <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/search/search_results.asp?srchtree=1&Ntt=Ocean+Potion+Sun+Care&N=4294946569&Ntk=All">http://www.drugstore.com/search/search_results.asp?srchtree=1&Ntt=Ocean+Potion+Sun+Care&N=4294946569&Ntk=All</a> So for the summer months i hope you enjoy some Vitamin D the safe way- wearing the best sunblock around! Happy Sunning!!! xo<br />

I have VERY sensitive skin and as anyone that's been reading my blog knows I do not believe in putting parabens on my body because what you put on it goes in it. Well after searching and searching for something not too expensive i found the BEST skincare!!!! A little line called AUSTRALIANSCENT BALM of GILEAD- i LOVE this product and it keeps my skin super moisturized and never breaks out!!!! I love the integrity of this balm- everything is natural - no synthetics, no parabens and no worries- i LOVE that!!! My favorite scent is the lemongrass orange ( it smells so yummy i want to eat it) and i have turned so many of my friends onto it and they LOVE it also. It's also VERY inexpensive and can be purchased at Whole Foods or online at <a href="http://www.australianscent.com/"> http://www.australianscent.com/</a> I am actually kind of obsessed with all of their products but LOVE their face balm. I'm known to slather my face with moisturizer a few times daily and i have had my jar since January and still have some left and it's June so that goes to show you a little goes a long way. This balm is the BEST so if you want something that's not bad for you or your skin that won't break the bank check out Balm of Gilead by Australian Scent- I know you will love it!!!<br />

Something called dry shampoo. I will never forget spraying it on our head and laughing so hard we were crying because our hair was white- we were literally rolling in the aisles. Since then hair products have come a long way and recently i was turned on to something called ORIBE Dry Texturizing Spray and it changed my life and my hair. I LOVE this product and i have tried numerous dry shampoos. All the women out there know that #1 it's not good to wash your hair everyday, #2 it's a pain in the butt to wash your hair everyday, and #3 that almost always the dirtier the hair, the better it looks especially with this stuff. The smell is AMAZING and it gives you an amazing texture- it also doesn't look white when you spray it in your hair. When i first tried it i was walking down the street thinking someone around me smelled super lovely and then i realized it was my hair!!! That's when I went out and bought it- it's around $40.00 but it lasts a long time. Certain salons carry it , Bigelow Pharmacy in NY, and it's also available online. I also recommend the silver line of Oribe- Shampoo and Ultra Rich Conditioner- i LOVE the way they smell and how amazing they are on my hair. That's why Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray made it on my best list because it will make your "need to be washed hair " last at least another day and make it look and smell great while you're faking it..<br />

I'm back!!! I was on hiatus for a while but you will be sure to see new posts from me from now on!!! Happy Spring! What an amazing time of year- it's beautiful to see everything begin to bloom. I wanted to tell you about my favorite vegetarian supermarket in NYC- it's by far one of my best kept secrets- i actually call it my "Hippie supermarket"- it's called Integral Yoga Natural Foods and it is located on 13th between 7th and 8th- closer to 8th. I LOVE this store and love supporting small businesses. Everything in this store is integrated to help you maintain a healthy, well balanced life and is one of the most cost conscience healthy stores i know of in NYC. I can buy a ton of groceries here for $60.00 and the same amount of stuff would be double at Whole Foods. I just really love the philosophy of this little hippie grocery store and i know every time i go in there and buy something it is going to be good for me- i mean, what more could you ask for??? It also reminds me of the little grocery stores i used to go to when i was a child in Miami. They have a wide range of organic fruits and veggies that are always FRESH, a wall of super foods ( which you should eat everyday) and a cute old school juice bar / deli with amazing soups and desserts that are vegan. They also have a super cool beauty section with a wide range of paraben free and yummy products. The thing is if you go in to Integral for food you know you will be walking out with something that is good for you and that is why it made my best list- besides the fact that every time i walk in there i feel like i am one of the lucky few that knows about this hidden gem so i wanted to share that with all of you. So if you live in NYC or are here for a visit don't miss out on the Hippist, Hippiest grocery store around!!!<br />

I mean I really love, love, looooove my dentist- how many people can say that? This love affair began years ago. When I was 7 years old I broke all my front teeth in half on one of those springy things in the park that goes back and forth- needless to say that's when my nightmare began. For years I had bonds on my teeth that felt like cement in the front of my mouth. Every four years I would have to get new bonding because it would discolor and chip. I dreamt of the day I could afford veneers but noticed that some people I knew that had them looked like they had white chicklets in their mouth and knew that i would want something very natural and beautiful and that's when my journey began. I saw Dr. Lowenburg and got a consultation and he looked at me and told me everything he could do to make my mouth look "beautiful"- he was confident and I could tell he was a perfectionist and dental genius but I had to get a few more opinions because, as you know, i search and search to make sure what I have is the best :) So I saw some of the other "top" New York dentists and NOTHING could compare. Some would ask me to bring them in pictures of what i would want my teeth to look like (what?? How am i supposed to know what would look good???) and some just didn't seem to have the passion for cosmetic dentistry that Dr.Lowenburg had. After years of searching and saving my pennies I decided to go back to the BEST dentist that i saw and the saying that "all good things come to those who wait" unfolded. I went from cement mouth to having a BEAUTIFUL set of teeth. The first time i saw and felt my veneers i literally cried because those bonds had been the thorn in my side for years.... I'm a private person and would normally not want to tell people I have veneers but if i can save one person from bad veneers I've done my job here. If you want the BEST cosmetic dentist in the United States go see Dr. Lowenburg. Dr. Lituchy and Cantor are amazing too- everyone in their office is but I have to say that Dr. Lowenburg is my fave :) I also go to to them for cleanings and regular dental treatments ( Esther is the best dental hygenist). The staff makes you feel like family and you are in the BEST hands in this practice. If you're into the whole celebrity thing they have a long list of celebrity smiles.. You may be able to find veneers cheaper someplace else but take it from me- you get what you pay for and I searched and searched until I found the best... I made my dentist promise he would never retire and he said he wouldn't :). That's why Dr. Lowenburg is on the top of my list so if you're thinking of having a smile makeover he's the man!!!!- Trust me!!!!<br />

I use Coconut Oil twice daily as a facial and body moisturizer. Not only is it inexpensive but it's ultra moisturizing, protects against free radical damage, is loaded with antioxidants and is petroleum and paraben free ( I don't use anything on my skin that has parabens because I feel like what you put on your skin you are putting into your body). I have super sensitive skin and I DO NOT break out from Coconut Oil. It is also antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial if you eat a tablespoon a day - it's not the easiest thing to eat but it is great for you and I try to do it everyday. The other thing that makes me obsessed with Coconut Oil ( my friend Shayna told me about this and I love her for it ) is that it can be used as a sunscreen and protects from any UV damaging rays ( Don't tell my dermatologist I said that but it's true). I went through a rebellious stage this summer and laid out with coconut oil and not only did I get a beautiful tan but I didn't burn!!! ( But if you decide to try this do it at your own discretion as everyones skin type is different- i also still wore sunblock on my chest... It was amazing. So this for sure makes the best list.... It's by far one of my BEST beauty secrets and I think you will love it. Don't be scared by how thick the oil is in the jar just rub a little in your hands and it will melt down to a nice oil that smells amazing. This is great for men, women and dogs (mine love to eat it) and that's why I think it's the best!!!! <br />

I literally felt like I died and went to heaven when she gave me acupuncture and hot stone meridian therapy and boy am I addicted. I didn't see her for any specific reason but the fact that I have not been sleeping well and my back has been tense lately but she specializes in tendino-muscular issues and pain so she treats many athletes, dancers and runners - she explained it to me like this - the normal type of acupuncture will take six months to do what her type can do in two treatments ( because of the type of acupuncture she practices). She has AMAZING energy and you can tell she has a love for what she does. I went in to see her with my back a mess and literally walked out of there feeling so much lighter it was kind of unbelievable. When she put the needles in my back and told me to relax I totally zoned out and went someplace else which rarely happens to me even when I get a massage- to be honest the last guy that performed acupuncture on me told me to relax and I thought he was kidding. The day after my treatment I woke up feeling just as great as when I left her office. She specializes in an array of treatments and if you have the chance or your body needs some help I seriously think this is the woman for you ( you should really combine the acupuncture with the hot stone treatment if you can). It's one of the BEST things I've done for myself in a long time and trust me she is the BEST acupuncturist in the city ( located in Union Square)......

</div>In honor of this holiday season I have to tell you about the best NYC Santa Claus. A friend told me about the best Santa in NYC and after living here for so long and never hearing about him I had to see for myself. I went the night before because my yoga studio is right near ABC Carpet and Home ( 888 Broadway and 19th Street) and drilled the security guys about Santa. They told me he was the "Real Deal" with a real beard, belly and beautiful vintage suit who gives the children a unique lollipop when they are finished visiting with him. If you have never been to ABC Carpet it is beautifully decorated and has exquisite gifts ( They can be on the pricier side but they are one of a kind). Security told me the best time to arrive would be 2 p.m. when the line would not be as long and to bring my own camera because you are your own photographer so there is no charge to sit on Santas lap. The setting was absolutely stunning and when i arrived the next day I was convinced and in awe of Santa. I was tempted to sit on his lap and tell him what I wanted for Christmas but didn't want to freak him out :) So I watched as the children made their way to him- it was so sweet. Unfortunately he is only at ABC carpet on weekends and this will be his last but if you live in NY or are here for the holiday season next year this is a must see!!! ABC Carpet has the Best Santa I've ever seen!!!! Happy Holidays everyone!!!!!<br />

My go-to place to meet friends and grab a good bite, a treat, or a coffee/ tea is definitely Grey Dog. Located on 16th between 7th and 8th it is one of my favorite places because the atmosphere is very Seattle Coffee House-ish ( I especially love it in the evening) - open 6:30 am to 11:30 pm . When you go inside Grey Dog you really don't feel like you're in New York anymore. You can actually have a conversation with the person you are hanging out with and it has a romantic vibe and great music. The food is pretty amazing and hearty and the deserts are off the chain!!!! I personally love the granola cookie and any and all of the pies. You can definitely split a meal with who ever you are with because the portions are big. The service is great and the staff is hip and great looking as well- even their delivery guys are hot :) So if you are in the Chelsea area and are looking for the BEST Cafe check out Grey Dog- I'm sure you will love it as much as I do. <br />

There was a time, back in the day, when I was the queen of eyeliner. There were many days when I would wake up with eyeliner shmeered down my face due to crappy eye make-up remover. Thankfully those days are over. I have tried everything from very expensive brands to not so expensive brands and to my surprise this is THE BEST eye make-up remover I have ever used and it's about $7.99 for the big container. I wear contacts so I can't deal with eye make-up remover that leaves your eyes cloudy and greasy but I have to say as long as you use the oil free version of this (in the purple container) you will be very happy- plus it's hypo- allergenic. It's the only thing that, on the occasion that i actually wear eyeliner, gets it all off in one shot- that's why Almay oil free eye make-up remover pads made the best list!!!! You can find them in the make-up section of any pharmacy..... Here's to no more raccoon eyes!!!!Kristy's Besthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13224908860390240194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7899869195580340618.post-61463124664452278872011-12-10T07:16:00.000-08:002013-10-22T04:44:27.079-07:00The BEST Thing I Ever Did.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Four years ago i did something that would change my life forever.... I got my dog Keoki. I knew he was going to be a big responsibility but i never knew the unconditional love and happiness he would bring into my life. I had a few tough years and I always tell people that he was my lifeline. Meaning he really was a gift when I thought i couldn't take much more always with a wagging tail, a lick, doing something funny to make me laugh or getting me out of the house to take a walk. I never knew when i got him how in love i would be and how thankful everyday i would be for him. I truly believe there is a proof of God when you are around an animal. I can't leave out Miss Marilulu who i rescued a year ago- she's just completely full of love and happiness. I have to say that having a pet is by far the best thing i ever did and I highly recommend it to anyone that's looking for unconditional love. There are so many homeless animals that are in need of adoption and trust me when you save them they know they have been saved. Petfinder is a great sight to find animals that need adoption in your area <a href="http://www.petfinder.com/">http://www.petfinder.com/</a>. Another great site that contains lots of valuable information for animal lovers and pet owners is <a href="http://www.Pets.Answers.com/">www.Pets.Answers</a>. But just know before you adopt what a big responsibility it is - trust me the love completely outweighs the tasks. There have been times where i have cried and Keoki runs and licks the tears off of my face and eyes- if that's not a best friend i don't know what is.... That's why he and Marilu are the best things i ever did......Kristy's Besthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13224908860390240194noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7899869195580340618.post-63538759671218559632011-12-08T05:13:00.000-08:002011-12-08T05:13:41.726-08:00The Best Fashion/ Beauty BlogOne of my favorite girls is my great friend Nancy ( to me she is known as Bossy).

I took a class at Prana Power Yoga and the addiction began..... There are many studios in NYC and really your style of yoga is truly based on preference but after years of working out and running I took a power vinyasa class and it changed my mind and body. I have always been lean but this type of yoga strengthens and lengthens you- I had never achieved the results I now have from regular workouts and mentally I would walk out of class in a great mood. Prana Power Yoga is a vinyasa flow in a 98 degree room so it's hot but not as hot as Bikram and there is a flow of different poses that change with each teacher so you never get the same workout. I feel like I get a spiritual and physical workout when I am there and I LOVE it and think it's the best!!!! The studio is small and very welcoming and the teachers are amazing. If you want to do something for your body both mentally and physically check it out!!!!! It's located at 862 Broadway in Union Square above the Petco and has a number of classes daily.

My first post!!! How exciting!!!! Well my friends I have to tell you what my favorite cupcakes in NYC are- Magnolia Cupcakes, of course!!!! There are a few different cupcake places in the city but when I am having a major craving I drag myself out and get a Magnolia cupcake. The only problem is is that you can't eat just one- they are all SO GOOD- they make an AMAZING red velvet- it does not have a cream cheese frosting like some other places do which makes them soooo yummmmy!!!!!! Also all of their baked goods are unreal!!!! Times to avoid going there are around 8 p.m. when there is sometimes a line around the block but they stay open til 11:30 weeknights and til 12:30 on weekends. In the past, while pmsing , I have dragged myself off of my couch many times just to go to Magnolia. The frosting and cake on the cupcakes are the BEST. So if you want a good cupcake try Magnolia Bakery 401 Bleeker Street- you will be happy you did!!! And LA has a Magnolia Bakery too!!! My friend Pia hates the fact that it's there because she loves it so much ( Especially the banana pudding) :) It makes moving to LA that much more tempting.Kristy's Besthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13224908860390240194noreply@blogger.com1
