TGIF!
I just received the pictures below in my inbox. They are from a party I attended at the Art Gallery Of Ontario.
Brilliance New York (Beauty Boutique); The WORST Mani/Pedi I Ever Had.
So for the many of you that follow my blog as I traverse the globe to provide you with finds and treasures based on my experience, you will notice that they are always all positive reviews. This is not because I have the Midas touch, but mostly because my blog is about my favorite things. Basically, I have had bad experiences but I just chose to only talk about things that I like.
Today I had the misfortune of walking into Brilliance New York in Miami, the place that not only gave me the worst mani/pedi of my life, but also charged me $120, which is the most I have ever paid for a mani/pedi.
Below is a video detailing my personal account of what I would call a horrible experience and poor service at Brilliance New York in Miami. In addition, I have also included pictures of the work they did for you to see.
This is what you get for $120 at Brilliance New York in Miami. This picture was taken 30 mins after my visit.
This is my second foot, not as bad as the first one but definitely not worth the $120 that Brilliance New York charged.
So based on all you have seen and my account on the services they rendered, do you think they are justified to charge $120 for a manicure and pedicure…and not even give you a receipt?
Am I wrong to feel like I was taken advantage of, set up and fleeced by Brilliance New York Beauty Boutique? I mean, they lied to me and tricked me into staying after it was evident to them that I was lost.
Serving Up Some Miami Heat
Yes, I have just made my long overdue debut to Miami, the only major American city left on my list. I seriously do not know what took me so long because I have fallen completely in love with the place. I love it here! They have the best beach! The people are GORGEOUS and very sexy.
Getting some sunshine at the beach
Getting more than just a tan
This is what the Miami Heat Championship Ring looks like.
Stay tuned for more hot stuff.
My Favorite Images Today
So much beauty in the world, we just need to open our eyes, live it, experience it… every waking moment is one to be thankful for.
Abercrombie & Fitch Gets a Brand Readjustment
I bet this Abercrombie & Fitch Gets a Brand Readjustment video goes viral.
Angelina Jolie Undergoes Double Masectomy
Actress, humanitarian and mother, Angelina Jolie undergoes a double mastectomy.
I simply cannot imagine the courage and bravery it would take a perfectly healthy woman to take such drastic preventative measures when it comes to health. Especially since the climate in the media is to glorify a certain type of idealized standard of beauty.
The big news today is the revelation that Angelina Jolie underwent a preventive double mastectomy after learning she carries a mutation of the BRCA1 gene, which sharply increases her risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer.
More on the story here.
Mothers Day 2013
I believe everyday should be mothers day. I have to point out that there are some cases where children feel like they were really let down by their mothers, or other times where others grew up without a mother. In any case, we have to admit that there is nothing as precious as seeing the love between a mother and a child. We have all seen it, I have experienced it with my own mother who is awesome!
Here is to all the mothers out there holding it down for their children, to those that have passed on, to those that are living and, to the mothers of the future. You are the fantastic channel through which life flows.
Happy Mothers Day!
This one is my favorite mother and child picture. Everything is perfect in the world with the mother knowing that her baby is asleep. But on a serious note, what is going on in this picture?
I also love this picture because you can tell that the mother is just exhausted but determined to keep working if the baby keeps sleeping.
I got you babe! Awwww
OK, I think this is my ultimate favorite. The pride and joy on that mothers face!!!!
DJ Peter Rauhofer Has Died. RIP
A sad day for the lovers of circuit/house music and the international clubbing circuit. The Grammy Award winning DJ Peter Rauhofer was one of the greatest circuit DJ/Producers. He passed away today after succumbing to a sudden brain tumor a few weeks ago.
He has worked with and remixed tracks for many artists ranging from Madonna to Alicia Keys.
RIP DJ Peter Rauhofer.
This picture I took was at the very last time he played.
I recorded this video below of him last summer in Barcelona while he debuted a new remix.
2013 MET Gala
Last night was probably the most anticipated red carpet of the fashion world, The MET Gala. It’s one of those events where designers and muse walk hand in hand, a red carpet where it is encouraged to go above and beyond, dare to be different. This is what makes it fun to watch.
I fee like 2011 was the best year, my favorite actually.
This year was a little disappointing I thought, check it out.
Madonna in Givenchy. I love her body, she is 54. Its always interesting how (believe it or not) we see less and less of her skin as she gets older. She does it in a clever way which gives the illusion that she is barely clothed, trust me, the only skin you see is her face. I am willing to bet that soon, she will wear a mask.
Beyonce Knowles in Givenchy. Many people loved it but I didn't. I only loved the train, I thought it was clever how it was constructed. She looked like she was feeling good which is really the only thing that should matter or count.
Kim Kardashian also in Givenchy. Her body is very normal for a woman heavy with child...I am just not a fan of her maternity choices.
Solange Knowles in Kenzo. Looks like the metamorphosis into Diana Ross is complete.
Miley Cyrus in Marc Jacobs. This dress looks like one of those straight out of the 90's gowns that you would find in thrift shop...I would wear it though. I thought it looked nice actually.
Gisele Bundchen in Anthony Vacarello. I loved the dress, perfect for clubbing.
The most interesting look of the evening was by Nicole Richie. The 31yr old was wearing Topshop and rocking a very interesting hairdo. Believe it or not, I liked it.
Madonna again, this look is slowly starting to look good to my eyes.
Jennifer Lopez in what is currently her favorite silhouette. She was glowing in this Michael Kors gown.
Dakota Fanning in Rodarte. Loved this!
I love me some Cameron Diaz, always have always will. She was in Stella McCartney
I actually believe it or not, loved Mary Kate and Ashleys looks. It looks like they dressed for themselves to look and feel good irrelevant of the trends. I love their individuality.
