    • Pro Tip

    Makeup artists love AutoMatte for its Super HD finish, that smooths and mattifies, yet is imperceptible in person and on camera, with zero flashback. You’ll love it because it is non-drying and non-caking, universally flattering, and so simple to use.

    For best results, prime skin with Veil Cosmetic’s Sunset Light Primer/Serum, then gently polish AutoMatte onto skin where oil tends to appear, either with the provided black sponge, a flat brush, or finger application. Your complexion will instantly appear smoother and more even, imperfections covered with a natural finish that never looks like you’re wearing too much makeup. For touch ups, simply pat a small amount of AutoMatte over the desired area to reduce shine and lock makeup into place.

    AutoMatte has been available on www.veilcosmetics.com starting July 20, 2018 for $39 USD.

    Tavern On The Green – New York Restaurant Week 2018

    Tavern On The Green is one place I always wanted to check out because it carries so many fames. My friends always recommend me to go there. But as you all know, New York really spoils me because of too many choices.

    But I won’t miss the opportunity any more at this time! My parents’ friends are visiting New York, the first welcome lunch – I chose to go Tavern On The Green. Especially I can bring them to try the wonderful deal for the restaurant week. Also the restaurant locates at Central Park, they must feel so happy to enjoy the meal at this amazing park for the first time traveling in New York.

    Let’s enjoy the meal now!

    Starting from the Appetizers.

    As we are a big group, we tried everything!

    Everything is very tasty, and my favorite is GRILLED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM FLATBREAD. But be careful, it is a very big Appetizer!

    Let’s go Entrees now~

    We also tried everything, but sorry I forgot to take the photo of Risotto. Everyone enjoyed the meal so much. I can’t say which one is better because they are all perfect.

    We ordered two extra dessert because we have a kid on the table. He super loves the cheese cake dessert.

    About the history of Tavern on the Green:

    Originally designed by Calvert Vaux, Tavern on the Green was built as a sheep fold in the 1880’s to house the 700 Southdown sheep that grazed in Central Park’s Sheep Meadow. Robert Moses transformed the building in to a restaurant in 1934, as part of his park renovation. Through the next few decades, Tavern underwent several changes in management, but the iconic view of the park, and the addition of a dance floor, outdoor seating, and lavish menu, kept prominent actors, musicians, and public figures coming back to the restaurant to dine, drink, and celebrate.

    After a hiatus starting in 2009, the city searched diligently for a new operator to reopen the iconic restaurant in 2013. The city selected current owners and restauranteurs Jim Caiola and David Salama, previously of Philadelphia, who would bring a fresh, welcoming approach to Tavern. The duo renovated the restaurant with inviting décor and wood paneling reminiscent of the original sheep fold, and, with a seasonal menu more reflective of Greater New York, reopened Tavern on the Green in April 2014.

    Your Breast-Friend for Mommy-to-Be!

    August as Breast Feeding Awareness Month and before I joined the pack to become a mom, I did not even think about it. I thought it is natural, easy and super straightforward right?

    WRONG!  I didn’t realize that breastfeeding could be so challenging that there are actually people called LACTATION consultants that you can hire to help you.

    Besides professionals and classes, there are also a lot of great products out there to help you.

    No automatic alt text available.

    The Lansinoh Breastfeeding pillow is like a pillow arm sleeve that props the baby up to the right position for feeding. It is handy and small enough to take with you in your diaper bag or travel. It has a minky soft fabric inside and a washable soft cotton on the outside. You can buy it here for $24.99

    The Lansinoh Nursie Breastfeeding Pillow is comfortable, portable, and helps support proper breastfeeding positioning.

    By sliding onto the arm, rather than around the waist, the thoughtful design is perfect for c-section tummies and one size actually fits all, regardless of shape and size. The Nursie allows mom to naturally bring baby up to the breast to nurse rather than leaning over, which is ideal for positioning, latch and avoiding back pain. As a small and lightweight nursing pillow, it is ideal for today’s on-the-go mom. Strollers, diaper bags and airplanes are no match for the small but mighty Nursie!
