This allergy season has been a rough one. Between my alternating stuffed nostril and itchy throat, my eyes have began extremely dry, dark and flaky.

I went in for my routine dermatologist visit and asked what ‘over the counter’ remedy would help my rugged eyes and Clinque was the suggestion. I headed to Sephora and picked up the all about eyes cream.

After opening the package, I realized I chose the RICH version, but it was a good mistake. The richness was absorbed quickly giving my eyes the hydration it was in serious need of; no annoying residue. I have been using the eye cream in the morning and evenings and I can blink with ease.

Wandering around SoHo can be overwhelming, there are endless amount of retails shops, tourists and eateries.

Walking into the restaurant Sant Ambroeus eased the hustle of the hectic atmosphere. The interior design captured a tranquil Italian dining room with mid-century modern wood paneling and splashes of modern art through-out.

I am going to frank and say that I would come back just for the bread basket and individual coffee pots! In fact, It was so good, we ordered the associated pastry basket. The service was everything you would expect from a five star restaurant, yet it had the comfort of your local café. Our waiter was polite and astute enough to see we were in no rush, that we able to sit and nibble for well over 30 minutes before being asked if we should have the kitchen fire up our last course. The lemon ricotta pancakes were decadent. The eggs were like clouds of fluffy goodness, you could just melt. The next time I have guests in town, we will be eating here, not that I need an excuse to come back. Simply Bellissimo!
