Reading
If you are in need of some summer reading inspiration, look no further. If you have an interest in world history or if you love an inspiring autobiography we have it covered.
VICTORIA’S PICK
When We Cease to Understand the World
by Benjamín Labatut
This book blends fact and fiction while examining the lives and influences of the scientists who laid the foundations for quantum mechanics and its effects on mankind. Anyone with an interest in world history, philosophy or the ethics of science will not be able to put this slim novel down!
DEVIN’S PICK
The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl
by Becky Lynch
This autobiography is about a woman who fought hard to make her dreams of wrestling come true in a time when women were looked at as fluff in the industry. Such an amazing inspiring read.
Eating
Local to the Philadelphia or NYC areas? Our team shared some of their favorite spots. Whether you love a good tapas or are looking for the best Italian around, check out these local spots.
abc cocina
38 e. 19th st.
New york city, ny 10003
Lee’s Pick
ABC Cocina has the best vibe and even better tapas. Some of my favorite dishes are the Maitake Mushrooms with goat cheese, charred octopus and beef tenderloin burnt ends.
AMBROSIA RISTORANTE
231 S 24th St.
Philadelphia, PA 19103
NICOLE’s Pick
This Italian BYOB is my current favorite restaurant in Philadelphia. It is located in Fitler Square and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. Everything from the food, atmosphere and service was on point. My favorites were the brussel sprouts (best I’ve had), crispy gnocchi and the pistachio panna cotta. This place is a MUST if you are ever in Philadelphia!
Purchasing
If tried and true products are what you are looking for then look no further. Our team has been purchasing and repurchasing these products for quite some time now, with guaranteed results.
LEE’S PICK
Genix
Placenta Extract Face Cream
Placenta cream works well for me as it’s packed with vitamins A, E, and fruit extracts. It hydrates my skin beautifully without clogging my pores or making me feel congested. It also calms my redness, leaving my skin smooth and glowing.
DEVIN’S PICK
Pursoma
Unplug bath salts
I love this entire brand because it emphasizes taking time for yourself. They encourage you to disconnect from your phone and technology while in the bath, allowing you to truly relax. My favorite is the Unplug Ritual. The lemon scent always calms and soothes me on stressful days.
Obsessing
When we say we are obsessed, we mean we are obsessed!
Nicole’s pick
IonixLight Facial
The “it girl” of facials. This is hands down my favorite beauty treatment I have ever done. It truly leaves you glowing and radiant. I recently did it right before a bachelorette party and the results lasted for over a week!
recommending
Of all the tempting things to buy, read, try and eat, what is actually worth it? Each week we’ll highlight our special finds that our team highly recommends.
Honey Mama’s
Lavender-Rose Cocoa Truffle Bars
VICTORIA’S PICK
My new favorite treat. These bars are paleo, and free of refined sugar, gluten, dairy and soy and are absolutely delicious! The chocolate isn’t too sweet, and the rose and lavender adds a pleasant floral note.
EVERYTHING LINEN
LANDEN’S PICK
For summer, I am recommending everything linen. It is breathable, moisture-wicking and thermoregulating… I can not get enough of linen. Whether that be linen pants, shirts, bedsheets, towels I am transitioning everything over to linen this summer.
TO-DO LIST
Creating a to-do list helps you get organized and tackle your goals in a more efficient way.
P.S. Your tasks do not always need to be so rigid, try mixing in some fun “to-dos” to get into the summer spirit!
BEACH DAYS & SPF PICKS
VICTORIA’S PICK
Go to the beach! I even went ahead and bought a UV beach tent so I can have complete sun protection during. Still, be sure to liberally apply sunscreen! Need a recommendation
ALL ABOUT acupuncture
nicole’s pick
Acupuncture has been on my To-Do List for quite some time now. Acupuncture is a form of Chinese medicine that uses needles to puncture acupoints on the body. Some of the many benefits include improvement of mental clarity, sleep quality, inflammation and energy levels. I finally scheduled an appointment and am so looking forward to it!
