Now this was crazy. I was invited to work out with Serena Williams last Thursday night and being the fitness junkie that I am I couldn’t believe I had the opportunity to train with such an iconic athlete. It wasn’t just a meet and greet, it was a half hour circuit training session and then an interview at 24 Hour Fitness in midtown to try out a new product she’s endorsing from her Mission line of athletic products called EnduraCool. PS: I also scored a video of her kicking butt too!

I’ll admit, like everyone else in the world, I have a bit of a girl crush on Kate Middleton. Who doesn’t want to be a princess? I admire the way she stepped almost seamlessly into the role of royalty, yet is still very relateable. In three days the world will be celebrating the first anniversary of the royal couple so I rounded up some of Kate’s favorite beauty products. Yes, she really uses these things, so I guess you can call them princess approved.
Picture this: a perfect spring day in NYC and the sun is shining in through the glass roof of Imperial No. Nine, the restaurant off the lobby of the Mondrian Soho onto different shades of pink roses that lined the long wooden table.

If you follow me on Twitter you may have seen me tweeting behind the scenes pics from a photo shoot for Glamour‘s September issue last Thursday (yes, they’re already working on September shoots). I was honored to get a sneak peek at their “Best of You” feature, an annual article in partnership with Sally Hansen highlighting four inspirational and powerful women and their non-profit work. From adopting a neighborhood in Atlanta to making the elderly feel special in nursing homes, each of these women had stories to tell, with one goal in common: raising awareness. Here’s what you’ll find in Glamour’s Sept. issue:
There are a few reality stars I admire, and Bethenny Frankel and Whitney Port are two of them. They’ve used their reality TV audience to help them build an empire and pursue their dreams as business women. After her stints on The Hills and The City, Whitney launched her sassy clothing line, Whitney Eve, and now the designer has a new gig as a judge on Britian’s Next Top Model, works as a Spokesperson with Crest and is about to launch a jewelry line. I got the scoop on all of that and and of course, her fave beauty products. Check it out.
