If you love to entertain, knowing how to set the table is crucial. Yet, I always find myself looking up proper place settings, no matter how many dinner parties I throw.

Recently, the New York Times featured a growing trend among New York fitness fanatics – working out two to three times day! I am not talking about working out at the gym but rather taking fitness classes at different boutique studios. These women are professionals with full-time jobs, who manage to find time to squeeze in these workouts. Some trekking from one class and across town to another. You have to admire their dedication because that is some serious motivation! To meet this demand of mix-and- match workouts, FITiST was created by owner Neda Talebian Funk, offering class packages at partnering studios.

When dining out at a chef driven restaurant, I have only one small piece of advice. However, that maybe the tip that will change the way you dine drastically. It is simple and requires zero effort. Here it is: let the chef select your menu. Why? Because he or she designed every detail of every dish. They have poured themselves into every bite you will take. And chances are what you will end up with is a perfect progression of dishes that will make your experience truly memorable.

Where to you put your cell phone or credit card when out on the town and getting down on the dance floor? Your HUGE purse that you leave at the table with hopes that someone will watch it? In a tiny weeny clutch that never seems to close? Or tucked in your bra for safe keeping? Introducing the first sexy and comfortable pocketed bra ~ JoeyBra!

This Sunday may be Mother’s Day, but undoubtedly, the day the MOB is most excited about is her daughter’s wedding. Mother/Daughter relationships can range anywhere from delightful to torturous – and everything in between. Add a wedding into the mix, and well, it’s not always pretty. (Actually, one of the largest roles we play as Chicago wedding planners is mediator between the bride and her mother.) While this is your wedding, keep in mind that she has also been dreaming about this day since the day you were born. She wants the best for you – it just may not seem that way sometimes.

As a yoga teacher, I try to constantly evolve in my practice, which does not stop the second I step off my mat. As I mentioned before, yoga is more than a physical practice (see TIP TUESDAY: Myths vs Facts About Yoga). It translates to how you live your daily life, which can be incredibly hard, even for me. The best way to describe this translation is from the Yoga Sutras 1.12-1.16: Practice and Non-Attachment. Practice and non-attachment are the two core principles on which the system of yoga rests. These two work hand-in-hand, with non-attachment as the essential companion to practice. What does this all mean?

My team at AS YOU WISH – An Event Planning Company produced a lovely wedding a couple of weeks ago ~ stunning bride in a perfect dress for her, handsome and easy going groom, delightful parents, two sets of adoring grandparents, spirited children, one of the greatest best man toasts I have ever had the pleasure of being in attendance for and a heartfelt and teary eyed MOH toast. But what moved me most? No drama, just love.

Earlier this year, we shared a photo of Sofia Vergara’s wardrobe malfunction (another lady with nice assets!). And while we know the photo below was taken as a funny, we still have to grab a number of women walking out of restrooms at weddings and high end society functions with the same problem.

For brides and for women everywhere, please turn around and look at yourself from behind before you leave home.
We wish it would go without saying that you should wear a bra but obviously we have not gotten the message! The girls need support!!!
