Do St Patty’s Up Right

By Maura • Mar 8th, 2010 • Category: Alcohol, FOOD AND TRAVEL

Now everyone thinks they need to be downing green beer at their local pub to being doing St Pattys up right. On the contrary, there are several selections that would be just perfect to celebrate my main man Pat. Check out a few of our faves!

By Maura • Feb 18th, 2010 • Category: BEAUTY, Skin

Valentine’s Day may be over but that doesn’t mean the lovin’ should end. If you are like me and didn’t have a special someone to buy you flowers or chocolates this year, don’t fret! Treat yourself! I suggest the Go! Love Kit from Skin Authority as the perfect way to show yourself some lovin’! The [...]



Smell Like the Situation

By Maura • Feb 3rd, 2010 • Category: CELEBS

Now that Snookie, Pauly D, J Wow, Sammi Sweetheart, Ronnie and the Situation are household names, one can only wonder how long it will take them to capitalize on their new found fame. Shocking..not very long at all. The Situation announced at the Grammy awards, where he was a guest correspondent for Access Hollywood(what a [...]



Have a Super(model) New Year’s Eve

By Maura • Dec 29th, 2009 • Category: Alcohol, FOOD AND TRAVEL

All eyes are on New York on New Year’s Eve..everyone wants to be in Times Square to watch the ball drop.  That is everyone except for native New Yorkers who know that its effing crazy to sit in that cold for 12 hours next to thousands of tourists to see something you could comfortably watch [...]



Man’s Oldest Dilemma: Buy Motorized Bar Stool or Pay Child Support?

By Maura • Dec 15th, 2009 • Category: HOME AND REAL ESTATE, Interiors

I know sometimes it’s really hard to make the right decisions. Things like whether to drive home after a night of drinking or grab a cab, whether to save your money or splurge on frivilous things, and whether to pay child support or buy yourself a motorized bar stool (???). Kile Wygle, a 29 yr [...]



Nothing Warms You Up Like a Little Whiskey

By Maura • Dec 14th, 2009 • Category: Alcohol, FOOD AND TRAVEL

I am not a good bartender. I was simply not blessed with the skills of remembering everything that goes into a long island iced tea(which I’m pretty sure calls for an Ambien, bc after one of those things I am out.) But anyway, this..this I can do! Three ingredients..it doesn’t get much easier. I give you a great [...]

Bored this weekend? Get into the holiday spirit! Old Navy is hosting a holiday skating Winter Wonderland event at the Pond in Bryant Park starting at 8AM today and tomorrow (December12-13). Now call me crazy but I just LOVE that skating rink, way less crowded than Rockefeller Center!

Anyway, Old Navy will pay for the first [...]



How to: Make Mom Cry

By Maura • Dec 10th, 2009 • Category: HOME AND REAL ESTATE, Interiors

There are very few gifts that can be given to just about anyone. A Jenny Gaynor vase is one of them. A Christmas present for Mom with pictures of you and your siblings growing up (you are guaranteed tears), a wedding gift for your sister(probably the only one that she won’t want to return), birthday [...]



Get Drunk off of Starbucks..

By Maura • Dec 10th, 2009 • Category: Alcohol, FOOD AND TRAVEL

..sort of. I don’t know about anyone else out there but during the holiday season I tend to be slightly short on cash. As a result, I don’t normally take advantage of the delectable holiday flavors that Starbucks comes out with. So instead, I make my own lattes at home..and they are way better..why? Because [...]



A Different Kind of Drama at the Jersey Shore

By Maura • Dec 8th, 2009 • Category: ENTERTAINMENT, TV

TheLuxurySpot’s new favorite MTV program, The Jersey Shore, has recently been experiencing some drama of the unexpected sort. Domino’s Pizza has pulled all of their advertising from future episodes of the show. Frankly, I don’t think most fans will mind, any good Italian mother would slap their kid for eating Domino’s anyway..thats not real pizza.
