Taste the Difference @PizzaLucaNYC
With this amazing weather this past week in New York, it is easy to think that next summer is just around the corner. But it’s already October and I had the chance to meet the founder of Pizza Luca and taste his fresh pizza creations.
Founder of Pizza Luca Dean MedicoMinimalist menu with 4 pies – Made of local ingredients, the pizza is all about the dough, the sauce, the Sicilian Sea Salt and every little element that makes the pizza WOW.
Pizza Luca: A rapidly expanding Pizza Napoletana catering truck company servicing the tri-state area. Features a world-class menu and elite pizza only it comes to you courtesy of two unique and stunning trucks.

Dean Medico: The Owner and French Culinary Institute trained Pizzaiolo.

“Miss Blue”: The first truck in the Pizza Luca stable — a 1952 flatbed truck in mint condition and boasts an outward facing wood burning oven. Strictly does catering across the tri-state area, not a street vending truck.
-
“Miss Idaho”: Launching in NYC this fall due to the demand from the first truck. Was rescued from an Idaho farmer, the stunning truck is one-of-a-kind with an oven visible on both sides of the truck. Will do street vending as well as catering.
All ingredients are sourced from Naples and there are only four pies to choose from, authentic Pizza Napoletana, as governed by the Associzione Verace Pizza Napoletana.

Thank you for the delicious pizza and tour of this really cool food truck!

Dove Pink Rosa Beauty Secrets
Dove has been my go to deodorant ever since I could remember and and I recently got to try the new Pink Rosa scent. This tall size and the ‘cleartone’ is my favorite because like every other New Yorker, I wear a ton of black. And after I get dressed I always change my mind and my deodorant rarely stains. The Pink Rosa scent is not like rosewater but a brisk and fresh light floral that never clashes with my perfume. It is formulated with Calendula & Sunflower Seed Extracts.
The New Dove Clear Tone Pink Rosa is designed to reduce irritation and even skin tone while also providing 48 hour odor and wetness protection. So say bye bye to shaving bumps! 32 million women experience underarm red and dark marks from shaving but I am not one of them. Are you?
I love sharing my beauty secrets on the blog and over tea so a HUGE thank you to Dove for sending me the lovely glass floating tea set.
Even Tai loves the tea set!

@AmarteSkincare Wonder Cream and Mushroom Emollient
The magical properties of mushrooms continue- and this time with exceeding skin care benefits. September is Mushroom Month- and now it’s more relevant than ever to celebrate the anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and protecting agents found in mushroom abundant skin care regimens. Mushrooms naturally boost the overall health and youth of your skin, reminding us that the mushroom’s positive uses stretch far beyond nutrition benefits!
Vitamin D and anti-oxidant rich, mushrooms possess unique anti-aging properties, and protect the skin against fine lines and wrinkles to smooth out those pesky signs of aging. Beyond the ability to smooth complexions, tones and fine lines, mushrooms are a natural anti-inflammatory which calm and sooth irritating skin conditions like acne, rosacea, and eczema. Amarte, the premiere luxury skin care line that combines Eastern skin care philosophy with the power of Western dermatology, has recently launched Amarte Wonder Cream– a powerful anti-aging cream filled with a unique mushroom emollient that enhances immunity and shields skin from inflammatory triggers, irritation, environmental toxins and UV damage.
Wonder Cream has a very slight citrus scent and absorbs very quickly into your skin. You can use it for under your makeup in your morning routine or like how I do it – at night right before I sleep. The easy airless pump distributes enough product in one push. I love the girly nature of the packaging and the pretty design makes me reach of it every time I open my vanity. The ingredients are hand selected to make the perfect combination of beautiful silky skin!
Ingredients: water, sorbitan stearate, Schizophyllan (mushroom β-glucan), natural betaine,cyclomethicone, propolis cera, elemental sulfur, Argania spinosa (argan) kernel oil, pearl powder, Saccharomyces/selenium ferment (biopeptide SC), mastic oil, tocopheryl acetate,retinol 1.0%, Myristica fragrans (nutmeg) kernel extract, Syzygium aromaticum (clove) seed extract, Eucalyptus alba leaf extract, Citrus paradisi (grapefruit) seed extract, caviar extract, allantoin, acacia collagen, sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, carbomer, stearyl glycyrrhetinate, butylene glycol, phenoxyethanol
I love this brand and I have definitely seen a huge difference in my complexion in the last few weeks!

Meet the Breeds 2013
This past weekend, AKC put on the Meet the Breeds show at Javitts Center and Adalhi and I wen to check out these pooches! This years show consisted of numerous breeds from A-Z, pet related vendors, Motel 6 and even a few speciality cats in the mix. It was a great opportunity to come see rare breeds, giant breeds and what ‘breed’ standards look like. We wanted to go early for all the great dog food samples and to see all the dogs before their nap time.
Pet Parents is an insurance company that was a huge sponsor. They took ‘huge’ so literally and provided 2 photo booths along with a ton of HUGE dog items like this giant dog bowl with giant kibble.
A giant tennis ball!
My friend and gentle giant LEONBERGER

Bath and Body for your Dog with @EpiPet Products
How do you keep a white/pink dog clean, happy and healthy?
White dog owners all know that white dogs are special. They require special grooming, diet and even behavioral attention at times. White dogs may have sensitive skin to sun exposure and also sensitive stomachs and allergies. Epi Pet offers a line of pet car products for dogs and horses which are multi-functional enriching and suitable to all color dogs.
Epi Pet Skin Treatment Spray:
This spray comes in lavender, cedar mint and unscented. The purpose of this product is to stop shedding, odor and itching on your dog. To use this, just spray generously over your dog’s fur and into the skin then brush it in well. The secret ingredient here is “Galactroarabiana” – a super moisturizer found in the Larch Tree. Daily application will reduce shedding. There is also anti inch elements like tea tree oil and true essential oils and 5 all natural insect repellants. If your dog is like Jacob and doesn’t like ‘sprays’ then spray it on the brush and then comb him with the wet brush.
Epi Pet Cleansing Agent Shampoo:
This shampoo is tearless, soap free and safe for puppies and kittens. It is loaded with great natural ingredients. It is recommended that you microwave a bit of the shampoo for 10 seconds prior to use for max effectiveness like whitening or odor removal. It is compatible with all flea and tick treatments and becomes ‘medicated’ when microwaved. Excited to try this next bath to see how ‘white’ Jacob can get!
Epi Pet Sun Protector Spray:
A sun loving dog’s worse nightmare is a sunburn! This is great for dogs and horses alike and contains 4 sunscreen ingredients to protect from UVA and UVB. It is especially recommended for short hair dogs predisposition to skin tumors like boxers, dobermans, bull dogs, pit bulls, bichons, poodles, schnauzers. I will bring this next time we go for a hike or to the beach.
Epi Pet products have a slight vanilla scent that is mild and great for your dog.
