    New App @NightupLife @RegularQuis does #1OAK

    Hey it’s Marquis, back with another event guest post. Lets get right in to it, so for Halloween this year I went to a costume party at, drum roll… 1Oak!

    This is probably nothing to everyone from New York but me being from Boston and for everyone else from the outside world, 1Oak is the place to get in to.

    Also to make this night even more cool and to give out free advertising points, I used an iPhone app called NightUp. NightUp is a night club app straight out of London that just recently landed in New York and it (lowkey) is a night life bible!!! Take a look at it when you get a chance!

    So all in all, my night was amazing and I didn’t even end my night at 1Oak but that’s another story. That’s all I have this time around, stay tuned for the next event.

    Your favorite party crasher,

    This product matched infuser and cup is ‘A tea service for one person’. In the majority of cases, We don’t need a lot of tea, When It’s too many to brew tea in a kettle, When It’s inconvenient because it need too many tools, When you should like to conveniently drink taste and nutrient-rich leaf tea rather than a tea bag, When you need hygienic tea tool rather than stainless steel and silicon, Please use the 7bee’s infuser. If you hang the handle on the mug and pour hot water into the mug, you can drink leaf tea everywhere easily and cleanly.

    You can freely choose organization of the mug and infuser.

    7bee’s advanced porcelain products (white porcelain) on the sintered at temperatures above 1280℃ is more white and stubborn. Also, all the production process, such as hand painting and sculpture, is made by hand so the detail is perfect and high-quality features. Each product has a indigenous story containing designers’ idea, experience, sensitivity.

    Have you Tried @ObiqoSkincare?

    I recently discovered this new skincare line called Obiqo. Obiqo is a luxurious sea-inspired skincare range that combines nutrient-rich sea kelp from New Zealand’s pristine waters and the powerful anti-oxidant properties of French organic sea lavender.

    Obiqo’s range of marine-derived skin care products provide a touch of luxury at an affordable price. A protected natural resource and the star of Obiqo’s unique skincare line is New Zealand sea kelp, which is harvested under license and then blended with proprietary formulations of sweet herbs, natural flora extracts, essential oils and sea lavender to provide a rich sensory experience. Obiqo products are not only great for your skin, they’re sensational for your soul. All the marine extracts used in these products are derived from sustainable sources and the methods of extraction are natural, gentle and solvent-free.

    To @lilacchocolates factory we go!

    final look

    How appropriate that Yvonne and I should go to Li-Lac Chocolate‘s factory on Halloween. Here is a look inside at the process of making fine chocolates.

    Toffee is being cooled and chopped:

    Marzipan is being dipped into chocolate:

    And towards the end, the I Love Lucy style packing, which yields this:

     Everything is as delicious as it looks. Yvonne preferred the milk chocolate, and I preferred the dark. My personal favorites are chocolate covered marzipan and chocolate covered pretzels. We both agreed that we wouldn’t say no to a chocolate Thanksgiving turkey. Tis the season. To be decadent.

    And I feel good about being decadent. I remember Michael Pollan saying in Food Rules that as long as we’re eating food that our grandparents’ generation recognized as food, we’re okay. Li-Lac’s recipes haven’t changed since they started.

    Li-Lac prides itself on tradition, and they are celebrating their 90th anniversary this Sunday, November 3rd at their Jane Street shop in Greenwich Village with 1923 prices. Come eat and be decadent!
