A Classic With a Twist

Rob Bayne, senior brand manager for Diet Coke in North West Europe and Nodics, said "Fashion is a top interest of our fans so we started designer collaborations to create something new and exciting for our drinkers.

New look for my fav Diet Coke?

This summer, iconic fashion designer Jean Paul Gauliter revealed the latest design 'Tattoo'.  This is the third design, joining 'Night and 'Day' which debuted in April.  These partnerships between Diet Coke and fashion designers over the past 10 years bring fun and new energy to fans worldwide.


Here is a bit about the designs seen above:
“The bottles and cans were designed by Jean Paul Gaultier himself – taking inspiration from his unique, signature styles and harnessing his fun and light-hearted attitude,” Bayne said.

‘Night’ includes a provocative lace corset and fish stockings, while ‘Day’ showcases Gaultier’s famous Breton stripes in an easy-to-wear look.  ‘Tattoo,’ the line’s latest bottle, pays homage to the designer’s love for body art.

Tasty treat for the mouth and eyes.

Pumpecapple

This year I heard and learned more about turnduckins then I ever cared to.

BUT

A Pumpercapple Piecake?

That is a whole other story.

You might ask:
What is a Piecake?  Well it is a pie that is baked inside a cake.

What is a Pumpecapple?
The Pumpecapple piecake consists of the following scratch pies, cake and icing from bottom to top (feel free to change the order):

Pumpkin Pie baked in a pumpkin spice cake
Filled with crème cheese icing

Pecan Pie (or chocolate pecan pie) baked in chocolate cake
Filled with crème cheese icing 

Apple pie baked in our spice cake
Iced all over with our crème cheese icing

Garnished with pecan pieces And topped with a generous drizzle of carmel.

And it is calorie free! Well, not maybe not.  A serving size is 2,000 calories...


Sadly this is not a local treat!  Check out http://3brothersbakery.com/

Wellness - Nabacu

The opportunity to explore Eastern medicine presented itself today.
Myself and Noah had appointments for acupressure massages from Nabacu

Unsure of what to expect as we entered the standard looking office building, I was plesantly surprised when we walked through the suite doors.  The peaceful music and smiling faces that greated us immediately put me at ease.  After settling our paperwork, we sat to enjoy a bit of water and tea before our sessions.


Dr. Wang came and sat with us to discuss her background and what she could help us with (based on our answers on the new patient forms).  It was very nice of her to take the time to discuss our services and benefits as well as some of the other services that are offered.  Her approach was very frank and to the point, yet warm.


Jenny used a firm hand starting at the neck and working her way down.  Utilizing her whole arms, the pressure was a lot at times, but nothing that hurt.  I think my favorite part of the acupressure was when she pressed the points on my arm from my elbow to my hands.

Afterwards my back though sore was flexible and I am looking into contacting my insurance company to see if they can help pay for me to come back!


If you are interested in seeing it Eastern medicine is right for you here are some specials for the month of February!

Beverly Hills

I will admit it.

I am one of the millions of viewers who watch The Real Housewives Series.  This week was the wedding episode and it was super pretty in pink.

Here are a few of my favorite things from the wedding:


The cake was classic and gorgeous covered in fresh flowers.  The tent really did have a cozy feel (the best that money can buy!)  The tables were a bit over the top for my taste, but I loved the varied of pink florals.

I am not traditionally a pink girl, but there was something about how it all came together that was elegant and fun.

Now it is time for more OC drama!

Event Insider Notes: Pink/Fuchsia is the most flattering lighting at an event.  It really give the guest the best glow for pictures! Also large sparklers are super fun, but a logistical nightmare, they take forever to light and it is hard to get them all going at once. (But nothing is impossible!)

Yuuup!

Make sure your dvr is set to record the new episode of Storage Wars on A&E tonight 10pm EST.


Barry is by far the best character, but Justin and Brandi are a good laugh as well.  Darrell is a wild card and Dave is... leaving?

According to TMZ, Hester might not be returning next season unless A&E raises their 'unjust' offer.

Will he be missed?
Nooope!
