Your Best Self – August 2015

By | 2017-11-28T17:46:02-05:00 August 31st, 2015|Lifestyle|

Labor Day and the start of school come late this year, so I’m still getting my beach on in the Hamptons while I can.

Yesterday I had the privilege of attending the Hampton Classic in Bridgehampton, a true sign that the unofficial start of fall is just around the corner! Truth be told, while I will be sad to say goodbye to summer, I look forward to new beginnings and a change of pace.  Fall is the perfect time of year to start fresh again.

Before I get back behind my desk, I can’t say goodbye to August without sharing some of my favorite things!

BEAUTY. Staying youthful shouldn’t cost a fortune. It’s modern times – you want to look beautiful and be economical at the same time. Check out the RoC Retinol Correxion Max Wrinkle Resurfacing System Set. It has retinol in combination with zinc and copper – together they work to target fine lines without irritating your skin!

FASHION. I am totally obsessed with floor length, high quality cotton convertible dresses, where you can move the straps to get 21 different looks. This is a must-have for every wardrobe. You can move the straps to create the halter, strapless, backless, one shoulder, cap sleeve look you desire for any occasional, and the pretty wrap gathers at the waist cinch inches off your figure and are flattering for any shape or size! Google “convertible dress” to find a make and budget you like.

FOOD. It’s summer—who doesn’t love a fruity drink? But who wants the guilt that comes with consuming a margarita? Well, you can ixnay the guilt when you make a skinny margarita, saving yourself hundreds of calories without sacrificing taste. Shape Magazine has a lot of great recipes.

COMMUNITY & CULTURE. Labor Day Weekend is around the corner, which means it is U.S. Open tennis time! Arthur Ashe Stadium is just a short subway ride away. In the Hamptons? Local favorite The Nancy Atlas Project is playing at Navy Beach in Montauk from 5:00pm to 7:00pm on Friday, September 4th to kick off the holiday weekend, and the Cowfish Restaurant is hosting Family Fun Day on Saturday, September 5th from 11:00am to 4:00pm in Hampton Bays, perfect to keep the kids entertained.
