Today I'm kicking off my birthday week with a post that has been long overdue, especially after NYFW. Keeping up with the latest trends can definitely take its toll on a gallerina, so here are a few of my absolute favorite things that can turn my house into a weekend in The Hamptons in the blink of an eye...
1. Spearmint Tea::: I had this tea with my friend Stefy at a local restaurant and then I learned how to make it myself. You can too! I have the recipe up on my foodie blog! Check it out here!
2. The Sleepy Eye Pillow in Coffee & Blue, by Lila::: One of my best friends, Itzel, makes these and they are incredible! I had actually bought this one as a going away present for someone, but ended up loving it so much I decided to give it to myself as a pre-birthday gift. I used mine during a power nap for the first time and it was unbeleivably relaxing. She makes them in a variety of colors and with different scents; I got the "Sleepy" scent. You can get yours by dropping her a line! Get yours here!
3. Freshly Cut Flowers::: Nothing relaxes me more than fresh flowers. There's something wonderful about bringing nature into your home that I really love. I love the flowers from my backyard as much as the ones I get at specialty shops. The important thing is that the color is right for your mood and the arrangement you make is all you.
4. Something Sweet::: Cupcakes, macaroons, cookies, chocolate, anything sweet is always relaxing. In Panama I used to love the macaroons from La Vie en Rose, but since it closed, the ones in Las Hadas are the next best thing. I make my own cupcakes and treats for clients, so it's always special to get a batch of something different.
5. Cleo Body Cream::: I get this light and airy Italian body lotion online. It has a very clean smell and a light feel to it. It sinks right into your skin and the moisture is locked in immediately.
6. Seda France Paisely Zanzibar Candle::: I get these at a great shop in Bella Vista called Alegrita's. They smell amazing and last forever. I read this was Oprah's favorite candle somewhere and I can smell and see why!

Estoy empezando la semana del cumpleaños con un post que he tenido pendiente por mucho tiempo, especialmente después del NYFW. Aquí les dejo algunas cositas que convierten mi casa en un fin de semana en los Hamptons (o en mi caso, El Valle o Boquete), en un abrir y cerrar de ojos...
1. Té de Hierbabuena::: Mi amiga Stefy me puso a creer en este té en un restaurante en Multipaza y así fue como aprendí a hacerlo yo misma. Puedes ver la receta paso a paso en mi blog de foodies!
2. La Almohadita para Dormir en Coffee & Blue, de Lila::: Una de mis mejores amigas, Itzel, las hace y son increíbles! Originalmente la había comprado para un regalito, pero me gustó tanto que terminé quedándome con ella, como un regalito de pre-cumpleaños! La usé por primera vez en un power nap y fue sumamente relajante. Las diseña en una variedad de colores y con diferentes aromas. Yo compré la "Sleepy". Adquiere la tuya aquí!
3. Flores Frescas::: Nada me relaja más que fores recién cortadas. Me gustan las de mi jardín tanto como las que compro en las distribuidoras de flores. Lo importante es cómo las arregles.
4. Algo dulce::: Cupcakes, macaroons, galletitas, chocolate, si es dulce, es relajante. Me encantaban los macaroons de La Vie en Rose, pero ahora los de Las Hadas serán el sustituto en vista de que el restaurante cerró.
5. Cleo Body Cream::: Esta crema italiana se consigue online, es ligera y se absorbe rápidamente dejando la piel súper humectada.
6. Seda France Paisely Zanzibar Candle::: Esta vela la venden exclusivamente en Alegrita's, una tienda en el área de Bella Vista. Huelen delicioso y duran mucho tiempo. Leí que era la vela favorita de Oprah y ahora entiendo porqué.
