K, I’m gonna need to be armed with a bowl of her best cookie dough recipe I shared here while I watch her yummy new show. This video of a competitive eater inhaling cotton candy is giving me life right now. I want a secret wine cellar in my house! Who do I call to make this happen? Just one reason why it’s a little ridiculous how crazy excited I am about this new Amy Poehler’s project, and! we sat right next to Rachel Dratch at The Montage last weekend! Take THAT Mariah Carey! I’ve never played, who has and is it worth the time suck? How cool is this flower DIY … with pasta? POP.Ī daily ritual that can make me smarter. This brave strong woman and how she lives her life is so inspiring I loved seeing this video feature on The Today Show of the female founder of one of my favorite partners. Because seriously, I’m here to deliver what you want to see and if I don’t hear from you, I’ll never know! So tell me, friends o’ the Friday. What are you craving? What do you want to see? Email me at and let me know. PLUS! I’m giving away two copies of The Pretty Dish Cookbook over on Instagram, one for you and one for a friend.Peach Panzanella Salad with Burrata and Bacon for all of us craving summer like nobody’s business. Mediterranean Chicken Quinoa Bowl with Broccoli and Tomato because this makes for the easiest and healthiest meal prep, perfect for lunches and dinners.But I have a feeling I could get on board with that.īut enough about me, let’s dig into this week’s list of Friday Faves. Because one day I may have a job as a skiing mascot. I know…I know! it IS a rough life! And I’m totally spoiled and completely lucky and trying to enjoy every single second of it because who knows what tomorrow may bring. And favored bubbly sippers across the world rejoiced!! I had no idea that it was Veuve Cliquot who 200 years ago were the originators of how to make rosé. There, it’s all about unbuckling those boots while reclining on comfy couches in front of the fireplace to enjoy sips of Veuve Cliquot bubbles and bites of chili and brats. This year’s stay included spa time, dinner at Deer Valley’s epic Fireside Dining (all the melted raceltte cheese please!), an incredible dinner at Montag’es Apex where we feasted on a Tomahawk steak for two, lobster risotto and fresh Wild King Salmon with the sides of truffled Mac and cheese and Boursin creamed potatoes of course, and sharpening my pool game skillz with my forever boyfriend husband.īut the highlight of our Montage stay was the invitation to experience sipping bubbly rosé champagne in the Veuve Cliquot yurt, where you click off your skis and walk straight from the snowy ski hill into a luxe, hipster cabin-vibed tent that is above and beyond any tent I’ve ever been in. It was for my 50th birthday weekend, one I’ll never forget and will likely never match in it’s celebrity either. It’s where I channelled my inner Mariah Carey’s royalness when we stayed at The Montage last year after I won a stay at a charity event. The Montage is a ski-in ski-out luxury hotel that sits smack dab at the base of Empire Canyon at the top of Deer Valley Resort. Last weekend we took a quick weekender getaway to Deer Valley Resort where we skied in a snowy spring dump and the best snow of the whole year, and where for the first time in my life were on first chair (basically the first group of skiers) before anyone else made it on the slopes.Įven though we only live 20 miles away from the resort, we’d never have made that first chair if we hadn’t been generously hosted by The Montage Deer Valley who made our weekend a winter wonderland getaway. I’m glad to know we’re all in this literal life boat together, with compassion, thoughtfulness and tools to get us all through. It’s encouraging to know that we truly are all the same, with good days and bad, but realizing there’s always a better day ahead. Man you guys are great. I LOVED receiving your responses when I asked how your week was going. I’m still responding to your emails so if you haven’t received my reply yet, you will! And for those first 100 responders, your planners will be going in the mail next week. But rest assured, soon enough all of that will change, spring will fly by and summer’s sun will be warming our bones.įirst I want to thank everyone who emailed me in response to last week’s Friday Faves where I gave away 100 copies of my Nourished Planner. However, depending on where you live (hello East Coast USA!) you may still be digging with your snow shovels rather than your gardening hoes. And even better, happy first week of spring. ![]()

At the heart of the spa is the WET pool, flanked by rest areas and treatment rooms. Its labyrinthine corridors echo a hall of mirrors–a tribute to the Hungarian-born illusionist Harry Houdini–with mirrored panels and the second skin metallic mesh elements that complement the vaulted ceilings, stucco, and tile details remaining the building’s original features. Then there are the Extreme WOW and WOW suites overlooking the opera house on the other side of the road, inspired by black and white swans of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake (but the black and white theme may also evoke pieces on a chessboard).Ī Spa Captured in an Illusion The "Away Spa" resides in the basement offering tailor-made services ranging from quick beauty treatments to longer treatments. The bathrooms play game between chess and ballet, with chessboard tiles lining the floors and walls. Some rooms are fitted with unique lamps resembling the swirl of a ballerina’s skirt or dressing tables rimmed with bulbs evoking the changing rooms of the opera house facing the hotel from the opposite side of the street. Rooms on the top floor pay homage to Zsolnay tiles in their window design–Zsolnay ceramic ornaments had been used on the original rooftop by Lechner, which was damaged by fire in the early 1900s–while most rooms in the hotel incorporate the aforementioned ballet and chess elements. Even in the design of its 151 rooms and suites, you’ll find echoes of the building’s ballet heritage, as well as several aesthetic nods to chess–a game played by locals in Budapest’s opulent thermal baths–in the checkered elements you’ll find adorning the bathrooms and floor details.Ĭapturing a Retro Glamour and Modern Design in its RoomsEach room is uniquely designed and fitted with bespoke furniture. The spectacular arched corridor leads you to the heart of the former palace to a courtyard enclosed by a glass roof that shows off the neo-Renaissance architecture all year round. An interplay of materials and textures can be found in all the hotel’s corners, choreographing the building’s original historical elements with a modern playfulness that characterises the W Hotel brand. At the same time, the golden mesh, a second skin, gently buffers the restored architecture with a modern twist. With Hungarian Bánáti + Hartvig Studio heading up the architectural renovations and British designers Bowler James Brindley handling the interior design, the W Hotel offers guests a downtown sanctuary where modernity and luxury interplay with history and the arts that caters to a new generation of luxury travellers looking for elegance in the unexpected.Ī Love Letter to a City and its Cultural Past Stepping through the main entrance carries you through an arched corridor lined with kaleidoscopic stained-glass windows and vaulted ceilings decorated with blue star-like motifs, revealing the building’s historical splendour. Despite being a landmark built by Ödön Lechner and Gyula Pártos in the 1880s, occupying prime real estate on Budapest’s most elegant boulevard, Andrássy Avenue–a UNESCO World Heritage Site in its own right–facing the Hungarian National Opera, the building that once housed the former Ballet Institute closed its doors in the early 2000s, only for them to reopen again in 2023.Īlthough there had been several plans to renovate it and open it as a hotel by various hotel brands, the listed building finally got a new lease of life when the W Hotel Chain acquired it in 2017 when it began construction to restore the building to its original glory. The lights in the Drechsler Palace had been off and its windows boarded up for over a decade. ![]() ![]() After that I would like to collaborate with well-known artists in the genre of Reggaeton like J.Balvin, Ozuna, Nicky Jam, Maluma, Justin Quilesto, so I can reach more people with my music,” said Martinez. “The cities I will hit first are N.Y.C., Miami, Washington, Philadelphia and also Medellin in Colombia.

Music is my life and gives me an ability to disconnect myself from the real world and allows me to transport to another world,” said Martinez.ĭuring the phone interview producer of Hancel Music, Hancel Sadiel Castro said: Now, as a singer, I like to express different feelings and moods like happiness, sadness or being heartbroken with my lyrics and deliver messages from my own life experience.

The vent fan cover was caked in dust, and you heard a rather steady dripping noise coming from somewhere nearby. The room was very damp, with traces of rust on just about everything from the floor tile (which was rotting away in the corners). So, we weren't impressed, but then I went to visit their rest rooms and, quite frankly, I was appalled. The cashew shrimp were in a rather sweet plum sauce, the egg foo was rather meager and a little tough and the green beans, which are supposed to pack a little punch, were rather limp and watery, without much (if any) heat. The egg rolls were a little better-than-average, the hot sour soup was good (with the heat more from pepper than from vinegar) but, after those items, the rest were just OK. ![]() ![]() We had an appointment in downtown Wilmette and so, craving a good basic Chinese meal nearby, we thought we'd visit Tsing Tao.įirst, let me say that the service was quite good, friendly and attentive, and we'd ordered a meal consisting of "the basics" - egg roll, hot sour soup and a couple of entrees (veggie egg foo yung and cashew shrimp) along with a szechuan green bean plate, so our expectations were not that high (i.e., we didn't order anything super-authentic, except for perhaps the green beans).

The Pokémon Trading Card Game Online, which launched back in 2011, was a mess. One of the earliest spinoffs of the popular video games was the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which has a devoted following and regularly receives new updates and packs.ĭespite its enduring popularity, the card game hasn’t always translated well to video games or mobile apps. The franchise has spawned countless movies, manga, mobile apps, TV shows, and merchandise lines since it first took the world by storm in 1996. ![]() ![]() Speed was always of the essence, as the faster I could get to the third level, the lower my odds of getting a swarm of enemies spawning immediately and during their attack animation, leaving me no chance to dodge. Skyfields were particularly troublesome due to the combination of Black Imps and Jellyfish, plus the level layout tended to fair terribly when trying to move between groups of enemies and find leverage to fight back safely. The Magma Worm itself wasn't difficult, but dodging jellyfish and all the enemies that appeared while trying to work with the constant movement required from the Worm's attacks would spell doom for my attempt most often than not. Because of this, many attempts with superior item options fell flat because I'd get a terrible boss option, like Magma Worm, or the second level would be Skyfields(?). With this achievement, however, there were two other huge factors that had to align in favor boss and level selection. I did fairly well solo, but like many things in this game, item chance can be the difference between immediate success or failure. Feel free to pick them up (not the health drone, unless you're looking to complete the game regardless of the achievement), but definitely make one of the active use items I mentioned above a solid priority if you can. While they're helpful, something else always went wrong. I never had an attempt go well enough to have drones work out for me. Other solid options: Safeguard Lantern, Jar of Souls (good when camped on a ladder/rope and can't risk getting to the platforms above or below), Crudely Drawn Buddy, Instant Minefield, Unstable Stopwatch, Sawmerang (this is a good first active until a better one as it provides good damage while on the run), and The Back-up. Camping a ladder and using these items back to back can be the difference between safely clearing a spot or taking a guaranteed hit. These actives can be triggered off ladders/ropes and can hit enemies map wide, providing for extremely safe enemy removal.

No Sharpshooter because with -5/+10, attacking 3-4 times is always the best decision to take against regular average AC. No Variant Human or Custom Lineage honestly we cannot assume everyone who wants to optimize will always play these races I’m just going to ignore the ammunition references, since everyone else seems to.īut that was the whole thing I have tried to avoid: If crossbow expert is chosen at level one then it out performs quite a few things, including a longbow. It doesn’t take 8 levels, it can be achieved at level 5 with a variant human or custom lineage. You are going to use about 60 bolts every adventuring day. Finally you are going to have to carry a lot of weight between a heavy xbow, a light xbow and bolts. It is no better than a longbow user for the first 7 levels and even after it comes online your saves, skills and attacks with anything other than a crossbow are substantially worse. Sure, but it takes 8 levels to get fully into that build and it is a very narrow build. Hunters mark is a concentration spell with a fairly long duration, so there’s also a decent chance that you might already have it up to be using anyways at the start of a combat. That’s why it can potentially pay off to use both. So the hand crossbow sharpshooter pulls ahead first round by 2.1 DPR, but if the heavy crossbow user switched to a hand crossbow after they used hunters mark the first round then they’d increase up do a 28.05 DPR, which averages out to a 24.375 DPR over the two turns. ![]() Well yea but like I pointed out before, the 2nd round could potentially be spent attacking the same creature if it’s got a lot of hitpoints.
