Mimi's Little Black Book | Best Places to Primp

When it comes to looking and feeling fabulous maintenance is a must. Here are my favorite spots to primp and pamper yourself.

Best Nail Salon Dashing Diva
Dashing Diva is probably the hottest nail spa in NY. I highly recommend them for the perfect detail oriented mani and pedi. The glamourous pink interiors also add a touch of glamour to the whole experience. Try their UV Gel setting which makes nails look super glossy and perfect.

Best Hair Color & Cut Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa
I am obsessed with dying my hair and believe me I've been up and down fifth avenue trying to find the best colorist and I have finally found him. Greg at Red Door Spa is the most talented colorist in the world. He gave me the best chestnut brown with golden highlights color that I am raving over. The service at Red Door is unsurpassed.

Best Wax Shobha NYC
I usually go to Shobha for all my waxing needs. They are very good at what they do and I have always been happy with my results and the exotic ambiance is always a plus. Shobha was voted as New York's best Brazilian was. Ask for Miranda.

Beauty Basics, Tips For Gorgeous Hands

You can tell many things about a woman by looking at the state of her hands. Hands play a huge part in your overall look and if you have been neglecting them, it's really time to take notice. The best way to keep your hands looking flawless is to get a weekly manicure at a salon like my favorite, Dashing Diva . Or DIY by buying a manicure kit and a selection of nail polishes from the best nail polish companies, Essie and OPI. Don't forget to pick up a base coat and top coat

I've recently started using this great Rejuvenating Hand Cream by Become Beauty. I love it because it has some amazing ingredients like orange oil and peppermint that are clinically proven to improve the appearance of your hands. I also adore how fast it's absorbed and also pleased that the formula is non-greasy. I recommend slathering it on at night and then secure with cotton gloves to wake up with supple beautiful hands. Then apply it religiously during the day. Get your tube of Become Rejuvenating cream here.
