Last night, Kendrick, Dad and I went to Dance Chelsea to watch my mom’s dance performance at their annual Christmas party. The people at Dance Chelsea are fabulous - I’ve taken a few swing and salsa lessons there over the years, and Kendrick and I have taken a couple of classes together. Unbeknownst to him (well, I guess not anymore), I’m planning on signing us up for some more lessons in 2010.

The vintage Jadeite salt & pepper shakers I gave Meghan for her birthday.
Working at my place this afternoon with NonSociety’s official mascots, Lilly & Lucy.
If you’re planning on scurrying about the city doing some last-minute shopping this weekend (can you believe Christmas is next week?!), try hitting up some of the gorgeous holiday markets that are dotted all over NYC.
Holiday Market at Union Square: My personal favorite, and the place I run to every year for hand-carved wine bottle holders, delicate jewelry, and tons of options for kids.
Holiday Shops at Bryant Park: More than 100 vendors from around the world…and free ice skating!
Grand Central Holiday Fair: Baby, it’s cold outside…but lucky for you, you can stay toasty-warm at this shopping destination in Vanderbilt Hall.
And now…a little DOMESTIC BLISS READERS’ CONTEST!
This morning it was too cold for me to hit the streets in search of my usual cup of coffee from the deli down the block, so I was very, very psyched when the mailman delivered a box full of N.O. Brew coffee, courtesy of the company reps. It’s very delicious, comes in lots of different flavors, can be served hot or cold…and each bottle makes up to thirteen coffee drinks, so it’s economical, as well.
YOUR CHALLENGE: Come up with a fabulous recipe (could be a drink, dessert, whatever) that uses N.O. Brew coffee. I’ll pick my favorite submission, print the recipe here, and the company will send the winner a free case of coffee! Yum.
Send your recipe ideas to jordan@nonsociety.com by Saturday afternoon; winner will be announced Sunday. Please include your address in the email, in case you’re the lucky winner!
A neat alternative to Febreze, which can get expensive: Toss two scented dryer sheets into an empty spray bottle, add hot water, shake, and freshen away. Shake again before each use.
Shooting an interview about Melanie Griffith’s cancer scare this AM (she had cancerous cells removed from her face, but is expected to be just fine). Yep, I’m wearing last night’s outfit - that’s what happens when you have twenty minutes to get camera-ready. I did Febreze it, though!
Me and Liz at Lauren’s “Hannukah Schmannukah” party, unwrapping some gelt.
French Connection top, vintage pearls, Bare Escentuals Red Zin lipstick.
My handsome husband with our beautiful hostess at last night’s “Hannukah Schmannukah” party.
Last night, I stopped by Morgan’s for some wine and wedding talk before heading to Lauren’s latke party. I literally squealed when Morgan opened the door - it’s been WAY too long, mostly because we’ve both been afflicted with the plague for the past month or so and have been laying low.
Love her love her! Squeal.
