Impressions Snapshot<br />
<br />
<i>People</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
In brief: beautiful, poised and playful. While wandering miles throughout Shimizu, with Mt. Fuji making appearances as the clouds passed, a man approached us and asked if he could walk with us on his way home. He explained that he wished to practice speaking English. We obliged and learned that he was a mechanic, had only left Japan once in his life (honeymoon in Thailand 20 years ago) and his son is in college.<br />
<br />
The kiddos were incredibly friendly. Everywhere we ventured, they enthusiastically waved from buses and sidewalks. Return waves were eagerly accepted.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>Culture</i><br />
<br />
Everything in Japan makes sense. The way things are executed is incredibly considerate and practical. It makes me want to take America by the shoulders and shake her until she takes notice. For example, we learned that trash is burned and converted to the material that is used to pave the roads. While on the topic of refuse, we noticed that garbage cans were non-existent. People are accustomed to carrying their own plastic bag to collect their trash throughout the day and dispose of it at home.<br />
<br />
Cats are everywhere and respected. This detail brought to light the constant theme of cats in <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0375704027/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0375704027&linkCode=as2&tag=roneyoci-20&linkId=RPSZ7R2C32TC7YU5%22%3ENorwegian%20Wood%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=roneyoci-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0375704027%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E">Haruki Murakami </a>novels (<a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307476464/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0307476464&linkCode=as2&tag=roneyoci-20&linkId=5CPAWELCWMY4BUV4%22%3E1Q84%20(Vintage%20International)%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=roneyoci-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0307476464%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E">my favorite author</a>). One evening, in Osaka, we were walking in the dark when we realized we were surrounded by cats lurking in the shadows. Watching us. It was a bit amusing and slightly terrifying.<br />
<br />

<br />
A few things resonate with me in terms of fashion. To begin, it appeared that all students wore uniforms. There were few options to express individual identity outside of key chains dangling from backpacks.<br />
<br />
As well, it came as a surprise (to me) that women were out-and-about in full <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geisha">geisha</a> styling. I assumed that this custom was something that happened some time ago, and perhaps, for tourist interactions. However, on multiple occasions, we saw geishas in Kyoto. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geisha">Wikipedia</a> (my knowledge authority) confirmed that geishas are going strong in this particular region.<br />

Will you be putting on a large hat or a bright bow tie this weekend? We're still dancing around a few venues to watch the race and raise a mint julep. I'm mostly looking forward to some quality time with friends and family!<br />

</div>
I've been sitting on this post for some time. Not entirely sure how to approach it, I danced around a few ideas and concluded I should begin with the foreshadow found in a text message.<br />
<br />
Before boarding the longest flight of my life (twenty-six hours between JFK, Vancouver, Hong Kong and finally Shanghai), I had reached out to a friend that had visited China a fews years prior. After detailing a handful of spots to add to our list, she punctuated her text with, "I hope you have a better time than we did."<br />
<br />
I'd like to think we did, but I must admit navigating through Beijing and Tianjin as a Westerner was difficult. Although hospitality desks provide print-outs of round-trip directions with English and Chinese translations, there is quite a bit that happens between those moments. If you and I ever sit down with a bottle of wine, I'll share my story of the longest cab ride of my life. The six hour adventure involved four different drivers, scenes from the film <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzrHrTVaqJs">Babel</a>, three police men, one hotel desk attendant, a desperate call to a tour guide from the previous day's excursion, a barage of honking/flashing lights and no seat belts in the back.<br />

<i>Culture</i><br />
<br />
The things that resonate with me most may seem a bit silly, but I'm the type of person that walks into a pharmacy or bodega to see how people live. The products or tools that are at the core of every day living tell a story. Train stations are particularly transparent, as they strip down to basic needs.<br />
<br />
<br />
In China, hot water fountains are installed rather than cool water. Folks refill bottles of tea and make instant soups.<br />
<br />
ATMs are scarce (quite literally a challenge to locate) and cash was king. We walked a few miles before we stumbled upon a bank and were able to withdraw some local currency.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=eastern+toilet&espv=2&biw=1199&bih=626&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=05gxVbOIN-nIsQTasYHQCA&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ">Eastern toilets</a>. It wasn't my first rodeo, but I somehow forgot that these are a thing and was grateful I had napkins from my morning trip to the cafe on hand. I learned to carry hand sanitizer and paper with me every where.<br />
<br />
Also notable, you are expected to sit in the front seat of a cab. This came as quite a surprise to me as I'm accustomed to the plastic barricades in New York cabs. Apparently, stranger danger isn't a thing in China.<br />

<i>Food</i><br />
<br />
Living a stone's throw from Manhattan's Chinatown, we are well versed in authentic Chinese food. Oddly, our favorite meal was dim sum in the Hong Kong airport. I have to say there was a consistency to the traditional dishes we tried to what you can find in New York. The one surprise we encountered was the popularity of live scorpion skewers (and many other types of critters) at <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g294212-d510317-Reviews-Wangfujing_Street-Beijing.html">Wangfujing</a>.<br />

<i>People</i><br />
<br />
The tour guide that brought us to the Great Wall, Ming Tomb and a Jade house was the only person we encountered that spoke English. We shared many hours in traffic with him and he spent a good portion of this time telling us about his daughter,"It's better to have a girl I think, you don't have to take on the expense of bringing another family member into your home." As well, he explained the challenge of becoming a home owner and the government's involvement in the process. Most surprising to me, he went into intimate detail about population control and his positive opinion of the practice. He was humble, kind and we are ever grateful that he gave us his cell phone number, as mentioned above, he acted as an interpreter between us and a cab driver the next day.<br />

Crafted by hand in Italy, the structure and design is flawlessly contemporary and urbane. The soles are ultralight and slightly buoyant. Drawn to the suede style in beige, I sized-up 1/2 size, which fits like a glove. I was a bit worried about the white soles coupled with the New York streets, but the treads provide a nice buffer. I'm impressed with the overall comfort (worn with ankle socks). </div>

It's the second week of Spring and slated to snow in New York tomorrow. So there's that. What are you up to this weekend? We don't have anything in particular planned, but are thinking of checking out<a href="http://sleepnomorenyc.com/"> Sleep No More</a>. I'm pumped to pack my bags and head to Texas next week to celebrate my birthday with some warm weather and BBQ.<br />

It's a destination that has been on my radar for some time. My parents lived there before I was born, I spent some time in South Carolina as a child and knew I needed to experience it as an adult. We decided to book a trip with our Pug, Pilgrim, this past winter. A week before shipping out, I called the B&B to confirm our reservation, which evolved into a thirty-minute conversation with the keeper. She tipped me off on the local gossip, which restaurants to book reservations and dog-friendly venues.<br />
<br />
As the title of this post suggests, I'm going to focus on the pup-friendly highlights. We touched down in the morning and decided to explore the massive outdoor <a href="http://www.charlestonfarmersmarket.com/">Charleston Farmer's Market </a>ahead of our afternoon check-in time. Peppered with dogs and doting pup parents, it became clear that Charleston is a <i>dog town</i>. Faces would genuinely light-up when they saw <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/sakuranyc/16080119326/in/set-72157649868701496">Pilgrim</a>, lots of rubs were delivered and one girl went as far as to request a selfie with our little ham bone.<br />

We booked a room at the <a href="http://www.bbonline.com/united-states/south-carolina/charleston/cabellhouse.html">Cabell House</a>, which I was devastated to learn had been sold and we were one of the last visitors to stay. The keeper, Randi, is in a word: amazing. I could have spoken with her all night, every night. I considered asking her to adopt us at one point. Born and bred in Charleston, she hailed from one of the original families. She showed us where the wine was and mentioned that the first floor porch is where everyone collects in the evening for a drink. She fawned over Pilgrim and when we bumped into her at <a href="http://www.huskrestaurant.com/">Husk</a>, she said she was heading home and would cuddle him back at the house while we were out.<br />

<br />
At the suggestion of Randi, we drove out to the <a href="http://www.magnoliaplantation.com/">Magnolia Plantation</a>. We were told the venue welcomes pups to roam with you throughout the grounds and donates a portion of their profits to the dog-focused charities. Although we weren't their for the spring bloom, the plantation's beauty was stunning.<br />

<br />
As it turns out, Magnolia is considered one of the most dog-friendly destinations in the country. Pilgrim had the time of his life sniffing out the peacocks, donkeys and swamps.<br />

I could write a novel about the amazing meals we sat down to in Charleston, but <a href="http://www.poogansporch.com/">Poogan's Porch </a>resonates with me for its story and experience with Pilgrim. Named after Poogan, a dog whose ghost is rumored to linger, the Low Country menu and casual atmosphere were lovely and comforting. </div>

When our trip came to an end, I wasn't ready to head home to New York. Which is an odd, unfamiliar feeling for me. I'm hoping to return soon.

The Cut published their 4th video in the One hundred Years of Beauty series depicting popular styling of Korean women and the mid-century split to DPRK and The Republic of Korea. Given that North Korea is trapped in time in terms of fashion and technology trends, I find it surprising that North Korean styles change as much as they do. What do you think? I'm loving the vibrant lips throughout!<br />

We're headed to Florida this weekend for some much needed heat! I could not be more ready to transition into Spring. After a surprise 64 degrees in Manhattan yesterday, it was back to the 30 degree range today. It felt amazing to pack maxi dresses, sandals and nothing heavier than a jean jacket this afternoon. What are you up to this weekend?<br />

Our annual ski trip to Vermont involves good friends and our pups. Last year, we stayed at the <a href="http://www.pawhouseinn.com/">Paw House Inn</a>, which is great, if you don't mind kenneling your dog (I do), your dog requires structure and you don't mind and driving 25 minutes to the slopes. This year, we decided to look for a place closer to Killington mountain and found the <a href="http://www.chaletkillington.com/">Chalet Killington</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Dog-friendly is an understatement at Chalet. As we opened the doors to stomp the snow off our boots and check-in, we were welcomed by a chorus of barks. Nearly a dozen dogs were bounding around, lounging near the fireplace and accepting belly rubs.<br />
<br />
To boot, we learned that the staff will happily walk your dog a few times a day while you're skiing. If your pup has separation anxiety, they welcome them to hang out at reception to greet guests.<br />

<br />
The common areas and rooms are quite lived-in and the shower is best described as feeling as though a helicopter is landing around you, but there is something undeniably amazing about the comfort of letting your dog do its dog thing amongst other pup-loving people.<br />

A Mexican restaurant inside Chalet which doubles as complimentary breakfast joint in the mornings. Guests have the option to grab a quick cup of coffee and bagel or request a full breakfast of eggs, hash, bacon and sausage.<br />
<br />
If you're not too tuckered out at the end of the day, apres ski favorites <a href="http://www.wobblybarn.com/site/index.html">Wobbly Barn </a>and <a href="http://www.picklebarrelnightclub.com/">Pickle Barrel </a>are a stone's throw away. We walked across the street for ribs the first night and decided to take advantage of the free shuttles to dinner the few nights that were particularly chilly.<br />
<br />
We punctuated the evenings with the bottles of wine and the pup crew around the fire.<br />
<br />
<br />
Also notable:<br />
<br />
Outdoor heated pool & hot tub<br />
Complimentary ski storage & slope side shuttle<br />

The trousers are available in two styles: slouchy and slim. Crafted from ultra light wool and lyrca, the Slim Trouser features stretch in both directions for a polished look and ease of mobility. The Slouchy Trouser has less give and hip-flattering pleats.<br />

The design features single darts above the pockets for a more contoured derierre. Fitted throughout the leg and finished slits at the ankle, the pant will pair with pumps beautifully for a crisp professional look.<br />

<b><a href="https://www.everlane.com/r/su9vpj">The Slouchy Trouser </a>($120, traditional retail $280)</b><br />
<br />
Structured with two darts at the back pockets and wider legs, the pant will pay compliments to your favorite pair of loafers, but can also be dressed up with heels. Although Petra suggested I size up for an accented slouch, I found that my actual size was more flattering for my figure. She agreed and even suggested that I may consider sizing down based on my narrow hips.<br />

I loved both cuts, but I found myself having a stronger connection with the slim fit (likely because I already own similar styles). What do you think? The pants are now available on <a href="https://www.everlane.com/r/su9vpj">Everlane dot com </a>and with one-hour delivery via <a href="https://www.everlane.com/r/su9vpj">Everlane Now</a> for those located in Manhattan.<br />

Hello weekend! What are you up to? We're keeping it low key ahead of our upcoming trips (to highly desired shorts appropriate locations). A trip to the natural history museum, a few good workouts and a friend's birthday brunch will do just fine.<br />

When one of my daily reads, <a href="http://intothegloss.com/">Into the Gloss</a>, launched a beauty line, I immediately purchased the Phase 1 Set. And then the limited edition metallic eyeliners. And clearly, when the masks were introduced, I hopped to. </div>

The products are packaged in baby pink bubble mailers and come with branded stickers to personalize your balm, sprays or iPhone, if that's your thing. The bubble mailers have become a travel staple for me. I toss my face mist, under eye masks and other essentials for combating stale airplane air. </div>

<b><a href="https://www.glossier.com/#!/products/glossier-phase-1">Phase 1 Set</a> ($80)</b><br />
The four-piece system includes Glossier's signature <a href="https://www.glossier.com/#!/products/priming-moisturizer">Priming Moisturizer</a>, <a href="https://www.glossier.com/#!/products/balm-dotcom">Balm Dotcom </a>universal skin salve, <a href="https://www.glossier.com/#!/products/perfecting-skin-tint">Perfecting Skin Tint</a> (available in three shades) and the rose-scented <a href="https://www.glossier.com/#!/products/soothing-face-mist">Soothing Face Mist</a>.<br />
<br />
I find that I reach for the Soothing Face Mist and Balm Dotcom daily, sometimes more frequently. The Soothing Facial Mist multitasks to moisturize my <a href="https://www.blogger.com/href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I5MJ8S/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000I5MJ8S&linkCode=as2&tag=roneyoci-20&linkId=RKZBQJTE5TW5OSTW%22%3EBeautyblender%20-%20Double%20Blender%20Sponge%20&%20Cleanser%20Kit%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=roneyoci-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000I5MJ8S%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E">Beauty Blender </a>and Balm Dotcom keeps my lips supple in the below freezing temps (that don't seem to be letting up any time soon).<br />
<br />
The Priming Moisturizer is buildable and luscious, but it doesn't have SPF. Lately, I've been relying on primers to provide sun protection while I work my way through my winter staple <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002NPPT2E/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B002NPPT2E&linkCode=as2&tag=roneyoci-20&linkId=DWRJELUWXSWGAB6H%22%3ECaudalie%20Premier%20Cru%20The%20Cream%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=roneyoci-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B002NPPT2E%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E">Caudalie Premiere Cru </a>lotion.<br />
<br />
The Skin Perfecting Tint provides extremely light coverage. It's a product I feel that I'll reach for more during humid summers or maybe not at all. Time will tell.<br />
<br />
All items are available for individual sale, which allows you to restock items you use more frequently, or narrow down to what works for you.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><a href="https://www.glossier.com/#!/products/mega-greens-galaxy-pack">Mega Greens Galaxy Pack</a> ($22/ 3oz)</b><br />
If you drink green juice like I do, you will appreciate this face cocktail which features a powerful team of white kaolin clay, superfruit antioxidants and leafy greens to draw out impurities and decrease inflammation. I'm occasionally guilty of going to bed without washing off my make-up. When I wake up feeling puffy and stressed, I apply the mask and leave it for twenty minutes while I'm making tea and plucking items from my wardrobe. After rinsing, my skin is dewy fresh.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="https://www.glossier.com/#!/products/moisturizing-moon-mask">Moisturizing Moon Mask </a>($22/ 3oz)</b><br />
The Moisturizing Moon Mask is my new HOLY GRAIL. If I had a storm shelter, I would pack dozens of containers of this mask next to the canned goods. The powerhouse recipe includes sweet almond oil, honey, lemon extract and licorice root to plump skin and restore elasticity. My skin drinks up the opaque cream shamelessly and without abandon. I wipe the slight residue off after 20-30 minutes to reveal a youthful rosy cheeked glow.<br />

March is around the corner, which means Spring should be here soon! I'm 100% on board with swapping my Winter layers with lighter, brighter things! What are you up to this weekend? We don't have anything in particular on tap, but I can't wait!<br />

Primers are something that only came into my beauty regime in the past five or six years. I tend to gravitate to textures which blend easily and perform beautifully with powder -and- liquid foundations. According to the Laura Geller, Spackle spearheaded the primer industry. The formula is enhanced with Centella Asiatica, aloe and white tea to protect your skin while retaining moisture. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The baked cosmetics are crafted from several pigments and baked over a twenty-four hour period in Italy. The variation in the pigments allows for seamless blending, soft shimmer or matte effects and the ability to contour and highlight from the same pan.</div>

After the master class, I was ushered into a seat for a beauty touch-up. To which I requested something to make me appear luminous (it had been a long day, in many conference rooms). While the pigment was brushed over my features, a woman approached me and introduced herself as Laura. I nearly jumped into her arms with enthusiasm. She hugged me, hung up my coat when it fell from my lap and asked me about my history with her brand.<br />
<br />
Laura is incredibly warm, genuine and committed to empowering women with beauty and education. I tend to commit to brands whose philosophy is anchored in connecting with consumers and giving back a greater need. Laura has been <a href="http://www.laurageller.com/about-laura">honored for by City of Hope</a> for her her support of multiple cancer-focused charities.<br />

My take-away:<br />
<br />

<br />
I've been in the market for a new primer (I confess that I have mostly been working with samples from my previous role a beauty-focused company) and decided to snag one from of the limited quality available in the shop. In a word: heavenly. Spackle spreads evenly, dries quickly and secures makeup smoothly into place. When I reach my last drop, I'm going to repurchase the blend which features SPF. Interim, I ensure to use a moisturizer with sun protection.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GZ59YC/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B004GZ59YC&linkCode=as2&tag=roneyoci-20&linkId=EKNPOS65SYJJSUVE%22%3ELaura%20Geller%20Balance-n-brighten%20Baked%20Color%20Correcting%20Foundation%20Fair%20in%20Nude%20Compact%20.32%20Oz.%209g%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=roneyoci-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B004GZ59YC%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E">Baked Balance-N-Brighten Color Correcting foundation in Fair ($33/0.32oz)</a></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I couldn't resist indulging in the full-sized face powder in Fair. I'm impressed with the diversity of this pan. I love the varied pigments and felt that coupled with the deluxe sample of the Medium powder, I could achieve a balanced look with subtle highlight and contour. A light application delivers an even toned appearance which is genuinely silky. To boot, the ingredients feature the same anti-aging ingredients in the Spackle primer.<br />

What are you up to this weekend? I'm planning to find fun things to do that involve being toasty warm. New York reached a record low temperature today. When I woke up, I checked my phone and it said 0.

I jumped on the bandwagon, requesting the "Empowered" eye look. The makeup artist applied all four shades to my lids (the dominate colors being the darker grey all over the lid and the highlighter on my brow bones). She vamped up my under eye with the Graphic liner and finished with the Smoky Extravagant mascara. The shadows are stunning, long lasting and the perfect marriage of neutral and smoke. The eyeliner applies as a liquid and dries rapidly. I have to admit it felt a bit itchy throughout the day. After meeting a friend for lunch, I dashed home to remove it. </div>

Seattle-headquartered <a href="https://www.rover.com/?ref=header">Rover</a> descended upon New York last week to host an intimate blogger event at <a href="http://www.loewshotels.com/regency-hotel/">Loews Regency Hotel</a> in Midtown Manhattan. If you're not familiar with Rover, the platform connects fellow dog lovers (and other critters) to arrange care while they're traveling.<br />
<br />
The service is customizable to every teeny tiny neurotic desire or need for your pup. Ear drops twice daily? Sleep under the covers with you? Three trips to the park daily? Daily proof of life photos with the newspaper? No problem. You can also specify if you'd like the sitter to stay in your home (background checks are done on all sitters that go in-home) or to have your fur kid go to their home. If hosts are pup parents themselves, meet & greets can be arranged to ensure all pups are copacetic with each other.<br />

Hosts range from dog lovers that cannot have a pup in their current situation to those seeking to supplement income and even full-time sitters that make six figures annually. Hosts set their own rates (a percentage is paid to Rover) which includes 24/7 emergency assistance and insurance.</div>

I'm planning to become a host and possibly warming up to the idea of implementing Rover as part of of my care plan for Pilgrim when we travel. At present, we either take him with us or fly my father or mother out to New York to stay in our apartment. For longer trips, it gets a little more tricky. While I was in Asia, my father came for the first leg, my girlfriend flew in for the middle leg (with her Pug in tote) and my mother looked after him for the third leg of the trip. I know. It's a bit much. But the little guy is less stressed and frantic when we return and he's been in the comfort of his home. </div>

The fun stuff:<br />
<br />
While enjoying glasses of champagne and nibbling on crab cakes, deviled eggs with caviar and mini lemon meringue pies, I chatted up fellow pup parent bloggers and teamed up with a handful to take on a loud game of dog-themed jeopardy. Each winning answer earned us raffle tickets. Gift cards to Bloomingdales and Bliss, a diamond necklace and local chocolates were among the prizes.<br />

Happy Friday the 13th & Valentines weekend! It's been a lovely, chilly and productive week for me! And hopefully for you too. I'm not entirely sure what my weekend beholds (it's a surprise), but I'm excited to embrace it. In preparation, I hit-up Sephora for<a href="http://instagram.com/p/zDWx4SOapF/?modal=true"> mini makeover</a> with Makeup Forever's <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RH8NB9K/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00RH8NB9K&linkCode=as2&tag=roneyoci-20&linkId=ZSLUMJHBHRLRZPAV%22%3EMAKE%20UP%20FOR%20EVER%20Give%20In%20To%20Me%20Makeup%20Kit:%20Inspired%20by%20the%20movie%20Fifty%20Shades%20of%20Grey%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=roneyoci-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00RH8NB9K%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E">Fifty Shades of Grey collection</a> and put the Veuve rose on ice.<br />

After building a line of cosmetic shops (and deciding to sell them), Manna was hungry to build a cosmetic line with nourishing and long lasting properties. Although <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0087432OW/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0087432OW&linkCode=as2&tag=roneyoci-20&linkId=JMEHXGHYPB6BOT6E%22%3EManna%20Kadar%20Cosmetics%20Sheer%20Glo%201%20fl%20oz.%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=roneyoci-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0087432OW%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E">Sheer Glo </a>is arguably the ingenue of her brand, the products extend to lips, face, eyes and skin care.<br />
<br />
<br />

Manna transformed the model into a <a href="http://www.oninstagram.com/mannababes">#Mannababe </a> with an eye and lip look from her Star Gazing palette and Lip Locked gloss line. The products apply with an understated, yet steadily deepening pigmentation. Manna's execution was playful, seemingly not calculated. In other words, this is a product line designed for a girl in a rush. A girl that loves to sleep in, hit the gym and only has a few minutes to get ready for work.<br />

Manna is a true hustler. She mentioned that she arrived at the SoHo venue straight from the airport and hadn't touched her make-up since dashing to the airport from her LA home. Do the math. We're talking 10 hours between the cars, airplane and New York. Her products were built for women like herself. Her flawless appearance coupled with her humble nature is a powerful combination in any industry. <br />

Star Gazing contains five neutral shades in gold, brown and rose. The high shimmer formula applies subtly, but increases pigmentation with a second swipe (above swatches are two layers of product). If you're a matte lover, this may not be your thing, but who doesn't love a little sparkle in life? Of all the combinations available on Manna's site, this is absolutely the palette I would have chosen to invest in.</div>

The deluxe sample we received will likely last me about 3-4 months (maybe longer). A teeny tiny amount goes <i>far</i>. I love blending a small dab above my cheekbones, Cupid's bow and below my brows.</div>

Each blogger chose their color. I gravitated to Manna Babe, a vibrant fuchsia with subtle sparkle (bottom swatch). The formula is ridiculous. Moisturizing and long-lasting, it feels like velvet on your lips. I've fallen into a deep love with this product and purchased two more as part of an<a href="http://www.ipsy.com/r/1e0r?sid=ipsypoints&cid=general"> ipsy </a>promotion.</div>

Can we discuss how <a href="http://instagram.com/p/yw2X5rOahH/?modal=true">chilly New York </a>felt this morning? After walking <a href="http://www.facebook.com/newyorkstateofpug">Pilgrim</a>, I packed up my bag and headed to Financier to get a few things done and could not feel my thighs by the time I reached the Cedar location (four minutes later). I'm planning to warm-up this weekend with some sweaty yoga sessions and heading to <a href="http://www.chaanteahouse.com/">Cha An</a> with a gal pal for hot tea and small plates.<br />

Korea has been on my bucket list for some time. My curiosity extends to daily google alerts, loyalty to the Korean bodega in my neighborhood, coveting date nights at Korean BBQ joints in Midtown and an allegiance to K Beauty products.<br />
<br />
Our time was limited, but we managed to visit the DMZ, an amazing local market in Incheon and Jeju Island.<br />
<br />

Upon arrival at the entry, we were instructed to dig out our passports out and hide any cameras or phones ahead of military inspection. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The soldier turned us away, with the explanation that our manifesto said that we had 41 people, but that there were only 40 on the bus. The tour guide patiently waited for the soldier to disembark and then explained to us that we would leave, edit the manifesto and return, "Military doesn't have a brain. They are brainwashed. It will work." And it did. We were in.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After being forced to put our cameras in locked boxes, we boarded a trolly which took us deep, deep underground. We wore helmets, which seemed silly, until I began bonking my head every 15-30 seconds, albeit crouched down while moving through the wayward 3rd Tunnel. I managed to sneak a few photos with my iPhone (view them <a href="http://instagram.com/p/uUdoBluakg/?modal=true">here</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/p/uUdUPZOaj7/?modal=true">here</a>). </div>

Oddly, exploring the<a href="http://www.catacombes.paris.fr/"> catacombs</a> in Paris amongst over 1 million skeletons is quite a bit more pleasant than this experience. The tight, uneven surfaces, coupled with the low and inconsistent ceilings was incredibly awkward. The mind boggles when considering the process of digging these portals for several kilometers.</div>

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeju_Province">Jeju Island </a>was our final destination in Korea. Sleepy, yet vibrant, the volcanic archipelago quickly became one of my favorite places on Earth. Our first stop was the beach to see a <a href="http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/SI/SI_EN_3_1_1_1.jsp?cid=264184">Yongduam Rock</a> which claims to be shaped like head of a dragon. I didn't really see it(!), and found myself more intrigued by the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/sakuranyc/15476605734/in/set-72157647595802813">women selling fresh octopus</a> on the beach.

Impressions Snapshot<br />
<br />
<i>People</i><br />
Although focused, there was a sense of curiosity and playfulness laced in each person I interacted with. From the DMZ tour guide (who poked fun of <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/northkorea/11131885/Kim-Jong-un-so-fat-he-has-fractured-his-ankles.html">Kim Jong Un's morbid obesity</a>) to the street vendors hustling oranges and beauty counter attendants. Albeit an understated and polite delivery, it was present and I loved it.<br />
<br />
There was definitely a contrasting demeanor when the subject of reunification was mentioned. You'd see eyes lower, as if digging in some melancholy space. It's a difficult feeling to place, but it was troubling and hopeful in one swoop.<br />
<br />

<i>Style/Beauty</i><br />
Korean women have impeccable style. The younger generation has taken a cut from the traditional <a href="http://s3-media2.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/qW-nAJ_jUeI70kYEzMEuRQ/o.jpg">Chosun's</a> structured drape with <a href="http://img.alibaba.com/wsphoto/v0/515980185/New-Korea-Style-Women-s-Coat-Wool-wide-lapels-Winter-Thick-Hood-Coat-Jacket-Outwear-3.jpg">over sized coats </a>and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MXU3C9Q/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00MXU3C9Q&linkCode=as2&tag=roneyoci-20&linkId=LO3SKOILD45CBH63%22%3ENinimour-%20Fashion%20Korean%20Style%20Hooded%20Sweatshirt%20Coat%20Jacket%20(L,%20Gray)%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=roneyoci-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00MXU3C9Q%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E">sweaters </a> which billow out at the waist. Shops were abundant and popular.<br />
<br />
The beauty scene: gasp. It's no secret why Korea women literally glow. Although I was limited it smaller markets in my travels, there were endless boutiques with more skin care products than I could imagine (they dwarfed Sephora!). I tried to be modest, but eventually came to terms with my need to splurge on the masks, sleeping packs, BB cream and a gorgeous apricot eye shadow (and some things for my gal pal that was taking care of my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/newyorkstateofpug">Pug</a> back in NYC).<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Tip: If you can't make it to Korea, a friend of mine recommended <a href="http://us.memebox.com/">Memebox</a>, which has a decent selection of similar K Beauty products.</span><br />

<i>On the food:</i><br />
I'm a nibbler. A small plate aficionado. When I dine, I suggest sharing a handful of appetizers, which quickly secured my adoration for Korean<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banchan"> Banchan</a>. Along side the fish dish and octopus we ordered at one restaurant, the waiter laid out a dozen or so small, healthy plates of pickled veggies, seafood and rice.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The seafood was impossibly fresh and delicious. Due to the language barrier, we accidentally ordered much more soju than we realized. As it turned out, it was a blessing in disguise. We needed it to build up the courage to try the shredded octopus, which was fresher than anticipated:<br />

Chewy and marinated in sesame oil, the one tentacle I managed to get down (while wondering if it would be offensive to ask the chef to steam it) grabbed at my chopsticks and...the inside of my cheek. I could feel it crawling up my throat for the rest of the night.</div>
