Completely Bare Laser Hair Removal: Another Review
Dec 27, 2011 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: BeautySo I came in for some touch ups at Completely Bare today and realized I never told you the end results of my laser hair removal experience! I am happy to report that after 5 treatments I am about 85-90 percent hair free with no shaving. It's a dream. I would recommend this to anyone who does not enjoy a)shaving everyday, b)enjoys being smooth and sexy, c) does not enjoy razor burn or associate it with attractiveness. To me the only thing less sexy than shaving was having razor burn by your bikini line or under our arms. Nothing says I'm not a lady like razor burn. It basically screams, hey I am a hairy beast, I tried to disguise it and here is the evidence that the hair once was here. That said a few soft hairs do pop up once in a while but they are sparse and very easily shaved. Definitely nothing course like most people experience under their arms. I am the ideal candidate, fair skin and dark hair so if you fit that bill
Added bonus: when you apply chemical filled deodorant it won't go directly into your bloodstream because you will not have to shave anymore!
I highly suggest hitting up Completely Bare if you want to shorten your everyday shower routine. I know I should be grateful not to have to worry for hair loss in women but ladies, we have it rough!

Best Burger Place NYC! Bareburger: It’s Organic and Grass Fed!
Dec 23, 2011 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: Restaurant ReviewI recently had the pleasure to visit Bareburger in Greenwich Village. The restaurant that boasts free-range, grass-fed meats and that to me is something splurge worthy! When I eat beef, grass-fed is the only way to go. In addition to the typical beef, turkey and veggie, Bareburger also offered portabella, lamb, elk, bison and ostrich – not my thang but people seemed pretty excited by it! Also, you get to choose among a brioche bun, multi-grain roll, iceberg lettuce wrap, a wheat flour rap, or a gluten-free tapioca rice bun.
We also ordered the pickle sampler, which was delish! The bread and butter pickes were my fave, followed in a close second by the spicy pickles and garlic pickles. They have tons of different fun burgers and amazing dipping sauces.
At around $10 bucks a burger, Bareburger's prices are reasonable for a sit-down meal in the Village. I also appreciated the vegetarian options of both a veggie burger and a portobellow! And in warmer weather, the Greenwich Village location has some prime outdoor seating so you can devour your burger al fresco!
I'd say it's a must-try! The ambience is adorable and casual. The service is quick and friendly.
Visit Bareburger at their Village location or online.

The Perfect Gift for The iPhone Addict or the Photographer in Your Life
Dec 23, 2011 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: Entertainment, HolidayI don't know about you guys but I am sickly obsessed with my iPhone. I know, I should take more pics and post them on the blog. Damn it. You got me. Well, if any of you wish to donate the most awesomest Christmas/Hanukkah gift then I promise to take you bazillions of pictures! Okay so you love taking pics on your iPhone and truly they come out nearly as well as your point-and-shoot camera, right? But what if you could take even better pictures!?
Did you know that they make lenses specifically for the iPhone camera? I think these sound perfect for the avid photographer in your life (or super awesome blogger who you want to send these to to try out!)! So, I'm not imagining that these can take the same quality pictures that a DSLR camera could but I think it could definitely be some fun and help you take some fun and interesting pics on your phone!
Check out this awesome iPhone camera lens on amazon for $59.99. They range from $20 to about $150.
They even have ones for your iPhone to take video from all angles. Check out these awesome lens' for iPhone!
Has anyone tried any of these? I'm dying to! They are awesome!!!! Although I guess I would feel slightly foolish with a giant lens on my iPhone. But I think I could get past it. What do you thinK!?!?
Let me know in the comments!
Rolf’s NYC: It’s Like You’ve Died and Gone to Christmas Heaven
Dec 21, 2011 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: Holiday, NYC Activities
In the spirit of the holidays I thought I should share with you the most spectacular Christmas experience in NYC! You must go to Rolf's in NYC! It's incredible. Rolf's gives a new meaning to the term "Deck the Halls." You haven't seen Christmas decorations until you've seen this place. It's a rustic German pub that is completely covered floor to ceiling in tchochkes and Christmas decorations. It's as New York as street-food or Rockefeller center! It's definitely a must-see during the holidays. I must warn you the crowds are not like anything you've ever seen. You literally CANNOT get yourself to the bar easily. I recommend going for dinner, which is delightful. We had the potato pancakes and the beef stew with spaetzel (Vegan cheaters I know!) The beers are so enormous you can barely lift them with one hand. But let me just tell you they come with a rather hefty pricetag as well (a bit of a shocker when our bill arrived). I think they were about $25- but to be fair they are about the size of 3 beers. Just be prepared, the food aint cheap either. Also, Rolf's only accepts reservations for parties of 5 or less. They will NOT let you add an extra person. Trust me, we tried.
I highly recommend a visit but be sure you make a reservation for dinner unless you want to be crammed up against a wall in between 4 other wasted beer-guzzlers!. The ambiance will make you feel like you've really experienced the holiday season! The delightful array of German pilsners and hefeweissen will satisfy your yearning for the Christmas spirit! I don't think these photos do it justice you'll just have to go and see for yourself!
Visit Rolf's this holiday season!!
