Hot chocolate with marshmallows, the sound of the rain, after rain rainbows, dramatic clouds, skiing, cozy winter clothing (hats, scarves, gloves/mittens, cozy warm pyjamas), no annoying waxing/shaving (unless you have a boyfriend/husband ), but the foremost pleasure of winter is without doubt - WINTER WEDDINGS- 

Why is a winter wedding a pleasure you ask? Well, not only is it a pleasure but it is far more affordable than summer weddings. Everything is cheaper, the VENUE, florist, caterer and photographer. Since the wedding industry sort of comes to a halt in the winter, as winter tends to be a less busy time of year,  many vendors will be looking to be hired.

Winter wedding venues are tres COZY! AKA- LAGO ! The Lago venue is a complete glass walled venue! So while you are having your memorable night indoors you will totally feel like you are outdoors!

With a winter wedding you will have much better photos!! The cooler temperature makes a more comfortable bride and groom. The photos will come out with the couple truly happy instead of sweating and nervous. The bride's bouncy curls will stay bouncy, makeup will not melt and the guests will be happier as well.

Most couples have summer weddings so what happens is that there will be too many wedding invites to go to. Weddings are costly and if someone is invited to let's say, four weddings , and he/she cannot afford that many, he/she will end up only attending one. Having a summer wedding can end up with you having fewer guests. While having a WINTER WEDDING, as it's not as popular as summer weddings, you can be sure that you will have many guests attending. Since there are not so many events in the winter, people are always looking for a reason to party!!! 

LAGO wedding venue, located in Rishon Lezion is exactly what you will need for a cozy, unforgettable wedding night. Ah, but the best part our dear friends it is what LAGO has to offer right after the wedding, right after the guests leave, when it is just the elated , newly married groom and bride. THE HONEYMOON SUITES!! Yes, LAGO venue has it's very own honeymoon suites to spend a romantic wedding night!! Tres UNIQUE!!

This past weekend we were invited to stay at one of the two magnificent suites. One is called the SOUL SUITE and the other the SPIRIT SUITE. Ours was the Spirit suite which overlooks the beautiful nearby lake.

A girl's best friends are...come on , you know- DIAMONDS (and make them Harry Winston please!), so if diamonds are her best friends then who are her lovers you ask? Well,since we love you, our extraordinary readers, and sharing is caring, we must inform you all, that SHOES and BAGS are her lovers!

Ah, the things that make us happy ;) Happiness is tres important in this hectic life. So whatever makes us happy is tres necessary.

Now that you know what will make you blissful we must share another secret with you. While walking on the glamourous street of Dizengoff, in Tel Aviv, after having our decaffeinated javas at one of the chic cafes that are all along the avenue, we found it! MYMA BOUTIQUE!

The gems we found there were impressive. High quality, European leather goods, from Italy and Spain, so obviously you can never go wrong at MYMA.

The bags and shoes we chose were so soft and sexy we felt entranced and unknowingly we stripped down to almost only bag and shoes! Yep, that is what happens when you are touched with MYMA's bewitching chaussures and sac a mains. 

So take our advice and run to Dizengoff 284 and stock up on sexy winter wear and accessories before all the other girls find out about it!

So how will you get that magnificent,  alluring , glamorous hair you ask? How will men notice you from a far and come running? Well, with the amazing AMIKA hair products of course!!

We tried the beautiful ( yes, we do mean beautiful because the hair dryers come in many decorative stylish designs) , totally awesome Amika- power cloud repair + smooth Blow Dryer.Not only is it a blow dryer but it actually increases the health of your hair! Seriously! It generates 100 times more negative ions than any other ionic dryer on the market which will result in softer, healthier and non static hair!! Honestly! We tried it and fell in love. The positive ion switch is the MAIN feature of this superb dryer, it opens the hair cuticle and gives more effective and deeper penetration to the cortex and cuts down drying time up to 70 percent!

Check out our video- :) 

                                                                                                                                                                                

                                                                                          

We recommend you use the Amika hair spray and curling brush with the blow dryer. The hairspray not only has an amazing scent but makes your hair actually feel healthier and has a great hold!

A cute, picturesque, little local bakery in the middle of one of the most beautiful cities in Europe is exactly what you get at Simply Good. Everything at the bakery is cute, pink, so fun and adventurous it felt as if we followed the white rabbit down the rabbit hole into the joyus topsy turvy world of Wonderland! 

So many options to choose from! What to do ?! What to try?! Ahhhhhh! Well, we started with some traditional Czech "Frgal" Pies! You can choose from Frgal pies with walnuts/apple/white cheese, plum jam/white jam, blueberries and much more! We chose the one with blueberries - delicious!

Now time for the nontraditional Czech cakes-  Banana Caramel Cake , Mascarpone, which was phenomenal ,White Chocolate Cake - smooth, creamy and just sweet enough, Brownies and Chocolate Caramel Cake - it looked so good ,we didn't know how to start eating it so we knocked it over to the side and attacked it from all angles!.

Please do yourselves a great favor and order lattes on the side. Not only does it mesh well with the wonderful cakes,cookies and pastries but the staff at Simply Good is so professional and as sweet as the cakes being served ,that the coffee comes out so amazingly flawless.

PRAGUE OPERA!

The State Opera house in Prague originally opened in 1888. Designed by Fellner and Hellmer with such fine elegance, that a night seeing a show is never to be forgotten!

We saw the thrilling drama-  Il Trovatore , an opera of four acts by Giuseppe Verdi.

The audience was a mix of  hipsters,older people, young couples and true opera mavens. The performance was so outstanding that the cast received rousing ovations !

If you have never been to the opera then you truly must go! It is an unforgettable, emotional roller coaster! The combination of vulnerability of the human voice, dramatic narrative  and music makes opera a pure emotional art form. Opera can really make us feel and hear the world differently, it is great stories through amazing music.

 If you are looking for a high end, sophisticated, kosher dairy restaurant, then search no more! Decca is THE place to go to in Tel Aviv. The most delicious Mediterranean flavors and delectable fish, you will totally have a superb gastronomical experience.
Not only is the food delectable but as soon as you enter, you sense that this is a great place to decompress from the pressures of city life.

We started with the Focaccia- baked in a brick oven served with saziki, taramosalata, tahini, olive oil and goats labneh,which was so good we were on a verge of a focacciagasm!

Mulley Kabab Tahini with chipotle vinaigrette and red bean salad. The kabab was properly garnished and cooked to perfection!

  Tuna Sashimi, and Salmon Ceviche with chimichurri pears, apples and fried almonds. They were both fresh and light .

For our entrees we had  the Grey Mullet Fillet- properly seared, served on a bed of onion and potato puree with a red wine sauce and sauteed leeks- an absolute aromatic mouthful!  Salmon Fillet- meaty with intense flavor, and the Meagre Fish Special-200 gram , served with cherry tomatoes and spinach leaves on top of a creamy polenta which was exceptionally perfect.

For dessert -  refreshing Sorbet, sexy Tiramisu, and velvety Chocolate mousse which leaves you wanting more and more. Delish!
