DivaDebbi's Holiday Giveaway's: Go Figure

Founder Cindy Sites leading a Go Figure Class

Over the past few weeks, I have been sharing some of my local sources for beauty and wellness with my readers and doing product giveway's for those who are not geographically accessible to my dream team.

Go Figure Barre Studio has been my exercise haven for the last 12 years.  Developed by owner Cindy Sites, Cindy developed a method of exercise that incorporates best of Pilates, yoga and classical ballet technique, toning and lengthening every muscle group in one uber challenging hour. Cindy and her team of rigorously trained instructors, are sticklers for teaching proper form, ensuring maximum safety and quick results.

Most Barre classes have their roots in the Lotte Berk Method.  Lotte Berk, was a German born ballet dancer who fled the Nazi's and settled with her family in England.  Marginally successful as a dancer, Berk worked with an Osteopath and created a method of exercise that focused on "core stability" and flexibility.

Go Figure embraced and refined this philosophy, replacing core maneuvers that often landed students at the Chiropractor's office with safe and effective work.  As a result my back is stronger and healthier than ever.

Love and Lashes

On Saturday evening, I had the great pleasure of being a guest at a most extraordinary wedding.  Over the years, I have had the privilege of attending some spectacular benefits, events, and celebrations.  Of one thing I can be sure, nothing can or will match the beauty of the union of Taylor Sites and Thomas Grothe, at the legendary Frick Museum, (one of the pre-eminent small art museums in the Country).  In a word?  Spectac. (Pics to follow).

So, how does a Girl who wouldn't scoot out for a quart of milk without full maquillage notch up for an important event???  Slim pickings...a pretty dress, a decent blow out and false lashes.  I have already 'fessed up that D.I.Y. lashes are not within my pervue. I thought I recalled that the Benefit Brow Bar at Bloomingdales in White Plains, where I have my brows groomed, also applies lashes and extensions. I also have a sweet spot for any retail establishment that does not require me to enter a mall.  Bloomies it was.
