GAL APPROVED: Mother’s Day Ideas and SyFy’s Eddie Izzard’s Treasures!

0
0

Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 13! Get a head start on the festivities with these hot shows and products which will make mom squeal with delight!

WATCH. We were curious when Syfy changed its logo last year, what exactly would it mean? Now, we know, it’s a network you can totally watch with your boyfriend! And this weekend is no exception. Why? Because our fave cross-dresser, Eddie Izzard, leads an all-star cast in one of Syfy’s story-telling remakes, this time of Treasure Island. He’s Long John Silver, so you know he’s going to give the stars of RuPaul’s Drag Race a run for their money when it comes to fashioning it up! Also starring Elijah Wood and Donald Sutherland, the four-hour special airs Saturday, May 5 at 7 p.m., only on Syfy. Invite mom over for a night of Cinco de Mayo margaritas and tune in!

PAINT. Want to make mom’s day a colorful one? Then you should definitely pick up a Sephora by Opi Nail Kit this Mother’s Day. This mix and match kit recreates the rainbow, with shades ranging from metallic to glitter. We DivaGals can’t get enough of Keep Me On My Misteletoes, a glimmery gold — because we know all moms are golden in our lives! Get the kit, currently available for $44, on QVC network and www.qvc.com.

 

SMOOTH. Mom doesn’t want a sticky face full of powder that clouds her beautiful skin on her special day. That’s why we’re saying hold the powder, and get her celebrity makeup artist Mally Roncal’s Face Defender, the clear finishing set that removes shine, but not mom’s natural glow. And since it’s a clear gel-like formula, it will brighten the face of moms in every color across the globe. That’s the kind of worldly celebration we love! Available on QVC and www.qvc.com.

 

DAZZLE. We know Mom is the queen in your life! So why not outfit her in jewelry that says exactly that? The Amanne Collection is an elegant line of charms, bracelets, earrings and necklaces that capture the culture, beauty and history of Africa. The line features Adinkra symbols derived from 19th century King Kofi Adinkra, who wore elaborate clothing printed with graphic symbols and geometric motifs. These elegant symbols represent different states of being, bring forth the language and culture of royalty, and reflect the ideals of destiny, faith, community and the power of love. Show mom you care! Visit www.amannecollection.com and adorn her just in time for Mother’s Day!

BRIGHTEN. I know what my mom wants this Mother’s Day – one big smile from me! I’ll make sure its pearly white with Whitening Lighting, a haute new whitening kit. You can too, as we’re giving away TWO kits in honor of Mother’s Day! Click to enter our Diva-licious online giveaway.


GAL APPROVED Feel Beautiful: Easy Nails, Stay-Put Eyeliner And Your Dream Butler! Plus: Desperate Housewives Says Good-bye

The DivaGals go gaga over sweet stuff that helps us feel beautiful, inside and out!

DREAM. Indulge yourself in this beautiful moment… The cleaning’s done and you’re enjoying a cool cocktail made especially for you! Impossible? Not if you hire Butlers of the Big Apple. We met company founder McKenzie Fisk at The Wedding Salon expo last month, who explained that she came up with the idea after wanting to give a bride-to-be pal something a bit more classy than a bachelorette strip party — what could be more debonair than a butler sporting a fancy libation, and a six-pack? Currently working the New York tri-state area, we’re certain Butlers of the Big Apple will expand throughout the nation, which is making our DivaGals on the West coast very happy indeed.

PRESS. What’s one of the fastest ways to give yourself a little beauty boost? A manicure, of course! And nothing could be easier than imPRESS Press-On Manicure, a fave of singer Nicole Scherzinger, which come in a range of colors and patterns, so there’s a look to fit your every mood. There’s no nail glue involved, just an easy peel off strip on the back of each nail piece. You prep your nails with a strip pad and then press each false nail over your corresponding nail – you just can’t make a mess! Best part? No drying time, which means you can feel beautiful instantly and these nails won’t chip! At the Wedding Salon, I slipped into a pair, and truly felt like I was one of the happy gals there about to say “I do!”

COAT. Could It Cosmetics “No Tug” Anti-Aging Waterproof Eyeliner Trio eyeliner with hydro-collagen and vitamins C and E, which Image Gal scored at the QVC product party live up to its own hype? It did sound too good to be true. My mother who was staying with me promptly applied it to her cat-like hazel brown eyes and then, to test its waterproofness, jumped into the shower! It’s nice when things live up to and exceed their claims. The rich velvety texture just glides right on and stays there till you take it off! The plum shade is a particularity fetching color if your eyes are brown or hazel.

 

WATCH. Visit the lane one last time. The beautiful ladies of Desperate Housewives air in a final two-hour episode on Sunday, May 13 at 9 p.m. on ABC.

GAL APPROVED Weekend: Hot New Hair, iPad Style and Make Your Own Jewelry!

STYLE. Summertime and the living is easy. Now that the weather has broken, the last thing we DivaGals want to do is spend more time flat ironing our hair! This summer we are rocking “Corrine Curls” from our newest hair source …. O.V.A. Boutique provides 100 percent virgin grade human hair extensions in multiple lengths, textures, styles, and colors. Their hair products are imported from India, Indonesia, Brazil, Malaysia, and Peru. We have to thank our newest Beauty Gal Aminat for the recommendation.

Aminat and Maureen

O.V.A. should really be called “standing ovation” because every time we walk out the door with our haute curly locks we see smiles of appreciation from both men and women; it was a hit a GILT‘s outside patio at the Palace Hotel in NYC. And in the back of our minds we am paying homage to the curly girl Corinne Bailey Rae as we go on and “let your hair down.”

CREATE. Ever have that moment where you just can’t find the right necklace for your outfit? How about taking matters into your own hands – literally! Jewelry designer Kristin Hanson, the woman behind Kristin Hanson Couture, KIKI by Kristin Hanson and Hanson for Men, actually offers jewelry-making classes in her studio, a fabulous multi-story space she has redesigned in downtown NYC. Classes can be as short as an hour, or as long as it takes to finish your fabulous unique creation, I learned when I was invited to make my own pendant. Creating the shape? Cutting out your own materials? Polishing it to a superior shine? Yes, it’s all on you – with the help of talented (and handsome!) master cutter John. I hacked out the shape of my sorority crest – it certainly wasn’t perfect, but I did feel a sense of pride after seeing my final product.

PROTECT. Luxe Gal just got her first iPad, and I am loving it! I have been bridging the learning curve on my hot new device and picking up accessories left and right. My first iPad add-on was the Speck iPad cover. It’s stylish and functional, and helped rid me of my fears of dropping my iPad. This cover is like a glossy covered blanket and promises to be “the perfect iPad folio case for anyone looking for lightweight protection, secure grip and pixelicious style.” Digging the snap closure and a revamped 4-panel cover which offers me tons of stand options. The whole thing just makes me smile every time I flip my cover open. Retails for $59.95.

 

GAL APPROVED Father’s Day: For His Scent, Style & Sense of Humor

0
0

SEE. File our That’s My Boy movie review under “and now for something completely different” … Adam Sandler is back in all his inappropriate, locker-room gross out style humor in the new comedy, which theorizes what happens to the teenage age boy who gets his junior high school teacher pregnant, once he and his son are all grown up.  This time Adam has Andy Sandberg and Vanilla Ice as his unlikely son and side-kick — yes in that order — along with an odd ball set of misfits that you will recognize from the eighties. The ladies in the cast include Leighton Meister, Ciara, Susan Sarandon and her daughter Eva Amurri Martino, who play the same character at different ages. It’s all fun, gross and tasteless, but would we expect less from Adam Sandler? Of all the characters in this mad escapade we have to say that Vanilla Ice was a standout. If dad has a sense of potty humor, he’ll get a kick out of this. That’s My Boy opens nationwide today.

SMELL. Demeter Fragrance Library is the company that has brought you some of the most unique, unusual and wearable fragrances in the world, inspired by everyday objects and experiences. With over 250 simple, subtle and singular scents that are drawn from memories, Demeter has a scent for each and every dad. Some of our men’s favorites include: Gin & Tonic: An end of the day slight intoxication: strong, sweet with a sweet-deep juniper finish Dirt: Demeter’s most emblematic fragrance! Mahogany: Like reuniting with an old flame. A deep, rich, full bodied exotic wood scent, with a touch of spice. What a man should smell like! Vetiver: From Demeter Naturals Collection, its first collection of 100 percent natural fragrances at prices anyone can afford. Exotic and personal, the Veviter scent is clean, yet earthy and spicy. Laundromat: Dad was a bachelor once. He probably remembers this fresh, out of the dryer clean scent. Demeter is offering something Special for Father’s Day. Vetiver and Gin & Tonic will be available for $10 each through Noon, June 15.

SMELL… AGAIN. John Varvatos Collection Fragrances (Classic, Artisan, Vintage, Artisan Black) bring together notes that are both familiar and unique. Boasting several unique high perfumery ingredients, this fragrance wardrobe caters to the man who values personal style and poise. With his fragrance collection, John Varvatos brings masculinity and style to the world of men’s fragrance that mirrors his success in men’s fashion.

 

SHAVE. Experience a closer shave with rich, skin softening cream that protects his skin from nicks, cuts and irritation with For Men Maca Root Shave Cream from The Body Shop. There is also a range of Men Maca Root products to pair and make the perfect gift.

 

SMELL … THIRD. For the Urban Man, Rocawear Evolution is sexy, magnetic and addictive, embodying the swagger and sophistication of hip-hop culture and exuding assured masculinity. Grammy nominated R&B/Soul Singer Trey Songz is the new face of the Rocawear Evolution fragrance. Or try the scent of fame: USHER HE fragrance for men is fresh, invigorating, sexy and addictive. This fragrance expresses inner strength for people with definition. Young or old, urban or suburban, USHER HE is for everyone! No matter what the occasion or time of day, USHER HE is pure wearable style. For the Modern Man, Curve Appeal for Men is a fragrance for a generation with new expectations, where life is a constant and adventurous journey, Curve Appeal is Magnetic. Sexy. Confident. It’s a pulse-pounding blend of cool citrus and sensual spice with tempting hints of suede and musk, this fragrance is incredibly sexy, effortlessly cool, just like the man who wears it. For the Sporty Man, White Musk Sport for Men from The Body Shop: a fragrance designed for the active man on the move. Whether you?re working out at the gym or pounding the pavements, you?re fully equipped for the challenge ahead.

STYLE: Give Dad the gift of luxury with a salon-quality product that will make him feel cool and confident. L?Oréal Professionnel Homme is a collection of products tailored to meet the unique needs of men’s hair, from normal to fine/thinning and rebellious. The collection?s aroma evokes masculinity, freshness and elegance.

GAL APPROVED Weekend: Music, Sandcastles & Duran Duran!

0
0

CHEW. The DivaGals love eighties music. So we were filled with glee at the Trident “See What Unfolds Live” concert with DJ Steve Aoki and surprise guest Duran Duran at Terminal 5 in New York City. Simon Le Bon, Roger Taylor, Nick Rhodes and John Taylor — who celebrated his 52nd birthday at the June 20 showcase — rocked the house down last night with the electronic dance music master, who has collaborated with them on his new album. After performing a “Hungry Like The Wolf” remix, the boys did their own set playing new music and classic hits like “Wild Boys.” Roger mingled with fans in the VIP section where Solange Knowles, Glee‘s Mark Salling and a bevy of Bachelor reality stars also hung out. TV DivaGal snapped a photo with Nick, while Luxe Gal took one with Roger. Yep, just like Trident, Duran Duran is a taste to be enjoyed at every age! See more pictures at our DivaGalsDaily Facebook page.

GROOVE. We peeped these hot speakers a few days ago in New York City from from the House of Marley USA. Bag Of Rhythm Portable Audio System plugs in nicely to your iPod or iPad. When docked, it not only plays your music but charge up your devices, and is also compatible with your MP3. We love the earth tone and retro feel of a “boom box” for home, the backyard barbecue or a beach party. Retails from $300 to $349.

PLAY. Who says you can’t live large? Create the castle/mansion of your dreams with Can You Dig it Sand Tools, and have some fun in the sandbox. The kit includes tools, a bucket and an instructional DVD. The video show you how to make not only sand castles but sand sculptures. This is great for hours of fun for the kids as you sit back and enjoy the waves.

 

SOOTHE. After suffering through the meanest cold Luxe Gal has had in years, I just remembered the best protection against a cold is prevention. Cold-Eeze is clinically proven to reduce the duration of the common cold! Be warned sneezers: I am packing Purell hand sanitizer, tissues and passing out Cold-Eeze to anyone who may be thinking of passing on a summer cold to me or another innocent victim! Available in drug stores nationwide.

GAL APPROVED Weekend Edition: and Political Animals!

0
0

WATCH. One thing that’s super hot right now is our presidential campaign, which sets the perfect backdrop for USA Network’s limited series Political Animals. The story revolves around the Hammonds, one of our nation’s royal political families. Husband Bud is a former president whose wife Elaine — who also ran for the top office — divorced him after one too many of his infidelities. She now works as secretary of state, while keeping an eye on “perfect” son Doug who is about to be married, and his twin, bad boy T.J., the first openly gay child to grow up in the White House. What’s great about this series is its strong line-up of female characters. Sigourney Weaver plays Elaine, who takes BS from nobody. It’s a strong and emotional performance from the veteran actress. Carla Gugino is the rising reporter determined to capture the real story behind Elaine’s unforgivable drive. Ellen Burstyn plays Elaine’s mom, and being over 70, she can say and do whatever she damn well pleases. The story offers up a lot of secrets and backstabs and sex – just as you would expect from any real-life national scandal. Political Animals premieres Sunday, July 15 at 10 p.m. on USA Network.

PROTECT: Summertime means your skin is gonna need more protection, especially if you’re suffering from hyperpigmentation. Work on getting a flawless complexion help with new and improved Black Opal Fade System Maximum Strength Plus. A proprietary blend of fade ingredients and soothing extracts helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and improve skin brightness, according to the company, and you could see visible results in just 14 days. Plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the summer!

EXFOLIATE: Slathering sunscreen all over your skin can leave it feeling a little listless. A scrub helps bring back the brightness. Try the fragrant sugar scrubs by SoulPurpose that have uber cool names like Ghanian Brown Sugar and Honey and Hollywood Fresh. Be sure to follow your scrub with a layer of rich moisture. We like The Body Shop‘s collection of moisturizers that blend in vitamin, seaweed and all that good earth stuff!

GAL APPROVED Weekend Edition: Bria Murphy’s Haircare Tips, FroYo Healthy & Holiday Fashion in July!

SMOOTH. The DivaGals can never get enough hair styling tips. So we were front and center when SoftSheen-Carson Dark and Lovely spokesmodel Bria Murphy (yes, Eddie‘s daughter) gave us the scoop on their latest product, 6-Week Anti-Reversion Cream Serum, which helps keep relaxed locks looking fresh for up to six weeks. Hear her break it down in her own words below!

SPOON. Healthy Choice Greek Style Frozen Yogurt. We thought we had transcended to another plane of existence when we tasted this 100-calorie slice of nirvana: the creamy texture, yummy flavor and the guilt-free 100 calories. It’s DivaGals’ new go-to favorite snack, made with dairy protein, real fruit, nonfat milk and yogurt cultures.

STYLE. Does it seem too early to start planning your holiday outfits? Cache clothing doesn’t think so. That’s why the DivaGals were invited to check out their upcoming holiday collection inside a penthouse suite at New York City’s Bryant Park Hotel. We saw lots of glitter, shimmer and shine – all the things we love at holiday time! Start making your wish list now. 

   

GAL APPROVED Weekend: Floaty Summer Fashions; Project Runway Inspired Jewelry; Less Fat, More Iced Coffee & Lots ‘O Kandi!

WEAR. Looking for floaty feminine summer fashions? Contemporary line Rae Francis catches the best of fashion trends for summer 2012. We are loving their maxi length shirt dress in robust colors and classic shirt dress tailoring. In these dog days of summer, it’s loose and flowing while giving a professional look that makes it perfect for business and play.

TASTE. Need a cool drink to cool down in these hot, humid days? International Delight Iced Coffee offers flavor without the pricey price tag. With the 100 percent Arabic coffee with a touch of sweetness, you’ll save yourself a ton of calories, money and a trip to the barista … International Delight Iced Coffee hits the spot. We like to spice ours up with a dollop of whip cream and a shot of amaretto, or try your favorite liqueur — add ice and a straw and you’ve got a gourmet milkshake!

TRIM. TriPollar RF Treatments have been VALidated! Red Carpet Diva Val Greenberg witnessed women engaging and loving this 20-minute fat reducing spot treatment at the Crier Beauty Forum. Dr. Jamé Heskett, Founder and Medical Director of Wellpath in Manhattan, was on hand at the swanky Sherry Netherland in NYC to demonstrate and explain the benefits of these treatments as an alternative to liposuction. “You’re not removing fat cells from the area. You’re preserving the nature of the fat cell. If you are to gain weight back it will come back to the same area instead of some area you are not expecting.” TriPollar RF utilizes third-generation radio frequency technology to regenerate collagen, tighten and tone the skin, improve the appearance of cellulite and reduce body circumference. Valerie also got a facial using the emerginC Skincare line, bronzed her legs with Miracle Skin Transformer and even had her hair cut by stylist to the stars Lea Journo.

COLOR. The DivaGals told you about The Kandi Store‘s colorful makeup palette. Now we share some of our favorite eye shadow finds from the collection. All Kandi Store eye shadows come in customizable, magnetized pans of 1, 4 or 15 in black pleather mirrored compacts, so you can tailor your look any way you want.

Razzle Berry Blue: A fun bright blue great for lining under the eyes to make eyes pop.

Blackberry Pie: A soft matt black perfect for smoky eyes to line and add definition.

Grape Soda: A fun sparkly medium depth purple that is very pretty on the eyes and extremely wearable.

Cotton Candy: Image Gal’s favorite, it’s a light shimmery pale pink that brightens the eye and is perfect for everyday wear or for highlighting more dramatic looks.


GAL APPROVED Boots @ Style, Giving Sight & Spin, Sole & Sweat!

SHOE. With our love for shoes, we believe the word can be a verb! We definitely felt the white “Heat” at the CAT Footwear Spring 2015 preview at their pop-up store on New York City’s East Side. While CAT maintains its origin as the premium workers’ boot, we spied styles we’d work on a catwalk any day, from buckled ankle boots and knee high boots with grommets to printed hightops! Want your own? Shop the pop-up store from Oct. 21 – 29 on the corner of Lexington Avenue and 47th Street. See more designs on our DivaGals FB page.

Communication-between-Edward-Snowden-and-director-Laura-Poitras-from-her-documentary-CITIZEN-FOUR.

SEE. TV DivaGal admits, I never really thought much about Edward Snowden‘s side of the story when he was named as the whistleblower who revealed how the National Security Agency was scrutinizing our every technical move. I kind of thought, “If you’re going to break the law, stay stateside to accept your consequences.” The new documentary Citizen Four chronicles how Edward, who worked as a NSA intelligence analyst, revealed his findings to a Guardian journalist while hiding out in a hotel in Hong Kong, and shows just how much he actually feared for his life, his loved ones and those determined to tell his tale. While I still don’t personally agree with Edward’s decision to release information that was professionally sensitive, it did make me ponder: if I did want to fight for a national injustice – say the killings of unarmed young black men by armed white officers – would my email correspondences get me locked up in jail? Citizen Four, opening in limited release across the nation beginning Oct. 23.

 

GA_OneSight2

SIGHT. We love a good cause. OneSight, the leading non-profit addressing the vision care crisis, doesn’t just collect old glasses for those in need. Executive Director Jason Singh shared with us at the “World Sight Day” campaign launch party, sponsored by RedLight PR, that the not-for-profit company actually creates stylish new pairs to donate around the globe, so cool! Learn more and get involved at onesight.org.

GA_DelainaCYC

SWEAT. The DivaGals love to spin. We also love to boot camp. Put the two together, and we’re so there. That’s why we were up front and center at CYC Game Day inside The Ainsworth bar (yes, you read that right!) in New York City’s midtown, for a hybrid of CYC cycling and David Barton boot camp. Sweat, sculpt and a cocktail – can it get any better?

HOKA

SOLE. Run, run, run! It’s a great way to stay in shape – but you gotta have the right shoes. We’re demanding the HOKA ONE ONE, which has 50 percent cushioning than other running shoes (a must when hitting NYC’s pavement), but is still lightweight enough not to weigh our fast feet down. And the bright colors make us smile while we sweat!

GA_AlwaysDiscreet

SPILL? Staying dry is liberating if you know you have a little discreet protection from spillage. Always offers all the protection you need from odor and wetness in an absorbent panty liner, as well as a full line of products that is as big or small as your protection needs. Lightweight, absorbent and discreet; you will dance for joy in skinny jeans without fear of detection! Marilu Henner showed us how to kick up our heels in celebration.

GAL APPROVED Get Your Film On This Weekend!

SEE. Gals, it’s time to pull out your mini-fans ’cause Chocolate City is open for business today! In this sexy African-American film, inspired by Magic Mike, Michael (Robert Ri’chard) takes a job as an exotic dancer to make ends meet. Vivica A. Fox, who plays his mom, tells us, “she’s kind of the church lady. Michael is her pride — the one to go to college. She’s totally in the dark about his career, and she’s concerned that he’s getting caught up in the streets.” Vivica says her character shouldn’t worry though, “She’ll be a little tickled (he’s a dancer) because her son is hot!” Chippendale resident Tyson Beckford, Michael Jai White and Ginuwine also star. So just how great are Robert’s abs? We could tell you, but we’re sure you’d rather see for yourself. Check out the video below from Movie Gal Brittany McCarthy, who attended the premiere here in NYC!

tomorrowland-pin

SEE TOO. The DivaGals also got a sneak peek at the new action film Tomorrowland, inspired by the ride at Disneyland parks. In the movie we learn that it’s not just an attraction spot, but a secret society designed to build a better tomorrow. Only it’s been a while since anyone with the heart to dream has visited, that is until a gifted teenager comes along. The visually fun ride makes up for the movie’s slightly-off pacing. And we loved Keegan-Michael Key‘s cameo as a shop owner who knows a lot more about that cool Tomorrowland pin than he’s willing to let on. Oh yeah, and “White Boy We Dig” George Clooney is in it too! Opens nationwide today.

Planning Your Move to Canada? Read This!

Many American are dealing with their shock over what happened in the presidential election. So much that some are considering a change of address. And where’s the closest place to make a move? How about our neighbors to the north: Canada! There’s so much to do in this beautiful country. If you’re planning a trip there, and maybe making it a longer stay (say like four years!),  sites like www.canadianaffair.com offer package deals that will ensure you make the most of your stay!

Before you jet off, consider the steps you need to take to gain entry to Canada. You will need either a visa, electronic travel authorization or maybe an international marriage (we kid, maybe!).  If it’s electronic authorization you need, you can apply online at official-canada-eta.com. Make sure you leave plenty of time for any necessary applications to go through. Failing to apply in plenty of time can end in refused entry and severe fines, so make sure you get this right! Once you’ve got your paperwork in order, the fun can begin!

NIAGRA FALLS. Niagra Falls is one of the major attractions in Canada, so make sure this is on your list of things to do. This is one spectacle you’re sure to regret missing out on. These breathtaking waterfalls are one to tick off the bucket list. Canada is renowned for its natural beauty, and there’s no better chance to see it than a day at the Falls. With plenty of hotels nearby, you could stay within walking distance of this wonder. If you book up nothing else, you need to book a trip to Niagra falls during your stay!

QUEBECQuebec is the capital of Canada and one of the oldest settlements in North America. This beautiful province is another place you should visit during your vacation. It’s a French-speaking province. Walking the beautiful streets here will leave you feeling as though you’ve taken a trip to Europe.

TORONTOToronto is the largest city in Canada and is another place that’s well worth a visit. Home to the CN tower, which is one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world, this city has a skyline to die for. It’s not just the skyline you’ll want to visit either. There are also bohemian districts that will take you to a whole different world. Toronto is a bustling city filled with things to see. Make sure you take the time to see them!

CANADIAN ROCKIESWe’re ending our list back with the natural wonders of Canada. The Canadian Rockies are some of the most impressive mountain ranges in the world. The sight of them is enough to take anyone’s breath away. If skiing is your idea of a great holiday, there’s plenty on offer here. If you like to keep your feet on the ground, the Rockies are still well worth the visit. Book a trip here and take in the amazing scenery.

There’s so much to do in Canada. This list doesn’t even touch upon the half of it. If you’re after the holiday of a lifetime — or a new lifeline — Canada is the perfect destination!

Thanksgiving is just over a week away! This holiday season, we got some entertaining advice from The Chew co-host Daphne OzDr. Mehmet Oz’s daughter – on holiday traditions, and a little scoop on her new cookbook!

We caught up with Daphne at a Pure Leaf tea event in New York City, where we got to taste test a host of their newest flavors. Chatting over tea (of course!), Daphne told us that as a busy mother of two, she’s always looking to share fast, easy recipes that are healthy and will satisfy the whole family’s taste buds. She shares some of her fave recipes in her new book The Happy Cook: 125 Recipes for Eating Every Day Like It’s the Weekend.

She then gave us sneak look and taste of one of her favorite cookbook concoctions, the blueberry tea cake. Daphne believes in using real ingredients like butter and sour cream, which give full flavor, so you can enjoy more on a smaller portion.

As for holiday traditions, Daphne shared that bringing her Turkish cultural heritage to the family meal  is still important today. “We cook with a lot of spices,” she shared, adding there will be lots of roasted vegetables, spiced meats and pumpkin-flavored dishes this holiday season.

unnamed-2

All her dishes will pair nicely with a Pure Leaf teas, the organic, botanic brand in loose or bagged varieties that offers tasty hot and cold flavors like Pure Leaf Black Tea with Raspberry and Green Tea with Mint.

Pick up a copy of Daphne’s new book, available online now.

DISH! Boyz II Men Star Comes Clean. Plus: See Moana Today!

Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men is manning up, and apologizing to his wife for cheating on her. The question is, will that be enough?

Will Tristan Thompson listen to his fans and dump girlfriend Khloe Kardashian — he is expecting a baby with another woman, after all!

We Run The World (Girls)! Beyonce‘s anthem could have been the lead soundtrack of Disney’s newest animated movie Moana. Moana is heir to chiefdom on her tropical island, but the land has been cursed, and only returning a special jewel to its rightful owner can save it from perishing. While Moana’s father doesn’t want his daughter to ever leave the confines of their village, Moana must follow her chosen path — to take on the sea and save her island, with the help of a fallen demi-God (of course!) named Maui, played by Dwayne Johnson. Their journey is a wild ride — to Lin-Manuel Miranda‘s soundtrack — and the ending will bring you to tears. The visuals of this movie are stunning, especially in 3-D, where it feels like the action is happening around you. The film is rich in strong female characters, a sentiment that feels so uplifting despite our current state of politics. A male friend pointed out the movie’s messages of being true to yourself and “stronger together” are also clearly evident. And a 9-year-old Diva-in-the-making gave it a big “Thumbs Up.” Shout out to newcomer Auli’i Cravalho, who voices Moana perfectly. We say paddle, swim and make your way to Moana today! Currently playing in theaters.
