Beauty Review: DERMAFLASH Facial Exfoliating Device @Dermaflash

s1775600-main-hero

As a beauty and lifestyle writer I am always intrigued at how many new products are introduced that promise new technology and great results so I was very excited to try this new at home facial exfoliator.

The concept behind DERMAFLASH is inspired by Dermaplanning, an in office procedure where the aesthetician uses a sharp blade or scalpel together with light feathery strokes to remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz to achieve healthier and younger looking skin. I decided to try this product because Dermaplanning or shaving the top layer, has been a technique used for ages, even though many women would not admit to shaving their face.

Restaurant Review: Maroni Hot Pots @MaroniHotPots

eatsbeat24f-1-web.jpg

Husband and wife team Michael and Maria Maroni started Maroni Cuisine in Northport, Long Island 15 years ago and quickly became known for Grandma Maroni’s 100 year old gourmet meatball recipe. They began using enamel red pots for to-go orders in Long Island and recently brought this idea to Manhattan’s Upper East Side with their new spinoff Maroni Hot Pots( 307 east 77th st. 212-535-2866), http://www.maronihotpots.com).

The Hots Pots come in 3 sizes: small $30 (1-2 people), medium $45 (3-4 people, and $65 (6 to 8 people). If the hot pot is returned clean then the customer will receive a $4 dollar credit towards the next order.

 

The food is fresh and homemade and the small restaurant where the hot pots , as well as other items can be found on the menu is decorated with a music theme as inspired by music lover and chef Michael Maroni. Favorite hot pots are Grandma’s meatballs with or without spaghetti, Penne ala Vodka, Fresh Ricotta Ravioli, and Cacio E Pepe. Pans are also available in half  $28 (1-2 people) or  full  $40 (4-5 people). Homemade Chicken Parmesan and Chicken Milanese were our favorites. Other recommendations include the Lobster Bisque and Baked Clams Oreganata.

Friendly Service and Homemade food make this restaurant a neighborhood favorite.
