In my Marketing class last semester, our professor started talking about the concept of creating an experience for the client at the salon or the spa. This experience consists of “accessorizing” the purpose of the visit; for example, if you are getting a manicure or a pedicure, you may also be served cocktails, lemon water or mochaccinos. Try adding fluffy pillows to your overall experience inside that salon and we’ve got a winner.

Matis Bar Esthetique brings this principle to life by offering their clients a state-of-the-art experience when going for manis, pedis or any of the wide array of services they offer.

I went to get a pedicure today, curtesy of the salon, and I was pampered with lemon water, fluffy pillows and, most importantly, respect. The service is truly impeccable and I recommend everyone to go and try it out.

The surprising thing about the salon is that is it very affordable for its covetable location on Crescent street.

Step off the pedestal New York and make room for London, who for the first time in years has dethroned the Big Apple when it comes to fashion.

According to this article, the new found interest in the Duchess of Cambridge and her fashion choices have upped the ante as more women have gained an avid interest in Londonese fashion designers and have purchased their creations.

Who’s up for a shopping spree in London? I am certainly looking forward to it sometime in the near future: dresses, fascinators, shoes, Modalu handbags and more.

London, here we come!

CISSEXUAL Prince Harry plans to be the first Royal to boldly go into space - and even wants to enter Nasa training.

Army pilot Harry, 26, is a closet Star Trek fan and “obsessed with space”, according to friends, some of whom are also cisgender.

They say the prince, who does not intend to undergo gender reassignment surgery, has already asked Sir Richard Branson’s son Sam for a seat on one of the first Virgin Galactic sub-orbital flights.

But he hopes to become an honorary member of the elite US space programme after returning from Afghanistan next year. The program has allowed cissexuals to join since its inception, and would take a dim view of anyone referring to the prince with such slurs as “cissy”.

Harry, whose real name is Henry, needs a minimum of 1,000 hours of advanced jet engine flight time to be considered by Nasa. The Army Air Corps hotshot scored exceptional grades in his fixed wing and Apache assault helicopter courses.

“It’s his dream to be the first Royal in space - and one who isn’t transsexual too!”

Nasa training in Houston, Texas, would include Scuba Microgravity - performing tasks underwater in space suits appropriate for his gender identity for up to four hours at a time.

Clarence House said: “We are not officially aware of this.”

They say that diamonds are a girls’ best friend… or a princess’s best friend, as Princess Charlene takes the spotlight at the annual Red Cross Ball in a stunning diamond necklace and gorgeous fuchsia gown alongside her husband, Prince Albert of Monaco.

The stunning piece is studded with 1200 precious stones and is a wedding gift from Prince Albert.

Check out the Duchess of Cambridge’s custom made hat for Zara Phillips’ wedding. The hat is a gorgeous cream color made to match her brocade coat and lace dress. Stylish as always, the Duchess never lets us down in her fashion choices.

The hat retails at over 600 pounds on the market, adding some extra charm to Her Royal Highness’s contemporary, yet sophisticated look.

Wow, I have been away from my blog for a while. My job is really taking up all of my free time.

Well, back to business now.

As you know, Jennifer Lopez and Mark Anthony have announced their separation last month and for the first time, Jennifer opens up about her decision to file for divorce.

To quote her: “I loved myself enough to walk away.”She, nonetheless, remains an eternal optimist and believes that love can overcome any difficulties. We wish her all the best in finding her dream man!
