Your Best Self – June 2015

I’ve sent my son off to sleepaway camp for 7 weeks, so I’m busy in the office during the week and the Hamptons on the weekend, counting down the days Dr. Pollack, my daughter and I get to visit him. I’m already missing him like crazy, but I know he’s having a blast making memories to last a lifetime.

As for me, I’m happy to say I am really enjoying the big 40! It has empowered me to reflect back to my creative side. The last time that happened, I was turning 30 and then came DASHA®! May you all have a safe and wonderful holiday weekend up ahead! I can’t say goodbye to June without sharing some of my favorite things to help you be your best self!

BEAUTY. So many sunscreens out there are full of toxic chemicals that are harmful to your skin and body. Reports just came out that said Neutrogena is one of the worst offenders. I am a big fan of La Roche-Posay. It’s silky and smooth – it doesn’t feel heavy on your skin, is light enough to wear under make-up, and it protects from the sun as well as UVA/UVB rays.

FASHION. Nothing says summer likes espadrilles, but you know I can’t live without my high heels! Topshop makes some hot, smoking wedge espadrilles that work for day and night, weekdays and weekends.

FOOD. Check out Peacefood Cafe on the Upper West Side! Amazing vegetarian fare! Salads, smoothies, soups, sandwiches, pastries and more. Something to satisfy every taste bud.

COMMUNITY & CULTURE. Did you read “40 of My Favorite Charities” that I wrote about in the blog last month? Donating time or money, whichever you can give, goes a long way and is good for your health!

DASHA. We are currently offering our Motivational Mondays Fitness Boot Camp promotion! Get in shape in the best 50-minute workout session of your life with certified personal trainer Eric Gonzalez at the DASHA Grand Central location. Just $50 for one session or $250 for 6 sessions.
