Nidasii Beauty Getaway Weekend

Hey Beauties!! We're finally back to blogging. There's been a lot going on behind the scenes here at Nidasii with all the new products and fragrances we're preparing to launch for summer. But, enough about that stuff. I have some incredibly exciting news. We're planning a Nidasii Beauty Getaway weekend! Everytime I think about it I have the biggest grin on my face. In April of 2015 we're planning to escape to a tropical location like Cancun Mexico for a weekend of exotic beauty treatments and discussions on how we can continue to beautify ourselves from the inside out. If next winter turns out to be anything like this past winter I'm sure we all will be ready for an island escape. And, of course it would not be an official Nidasii Beauty Getaway without a Delux Beauty Bag stuffed with some of our products available exclusively to the beauty boutiques and spas we partner with. Not to mention tons of other incredibly decadent items. If you would like to join us on this weekend getaway please feel free to leave us a comment below!

We're going to reveal more information in the weeks to come. We hope your just as excited as we are!!

Beautiful Beach Skin

Hi  Beauties there were so many challenges trying to record this video. We were supposed to record outside, but, the thunder and lightening made us have a change of heart...especially the lightning! So we came in doors to record this weeks video regarding the three items you should have in your beach bag to maintain Beautiful Beach Skin. I hope you enjoy todays video and as always please leave your comments below.

I've been told that, although, I loooove color during winter I retreat to my typical New Yorker ways wearing blacks, browns & greys with pops of color. After looking at this style board they put together they're right because this is exactly what I would wear on any given day running errands around the city....Only thing is the bag could have been bigger. I'm a short girl but I always have a BIG bag!

What's your look of the day?

How I'm Eco Friendly 24/7/365

Hey Beauties! It's Good Friday & Earth Day....Now how often does this occur?

Today I would like to know how many of you are actually "eco-friendly" on a daily basis? Lord knows I try but I'm not always succesful. Here's what I do.

1. Re-usable Shopping Bags - I absolutely love them, they hold so much more than those annoying plastic shopping bags. I live in NYC so I have steps to climb just make it to the front door of my apartment building. Carrying one or two re-usable bags is much easier than stumbling up steps with six or seven bags.....The only problem is sometimes I forget to take them out the trunk when I get to the supermarket....Yes, I live in NYC and I drive to the market (don't judge me). I told you I try but I'm not always succesful.

2. Plastic Take Out Containers - Those plastic take out containers have now become my own personal Tupperware collection. They're perfect for storing left overs and sending those friends and family members that don't like to return your good plastic containers home with food.

3. Donate Everything - My new moto is donate, donate, donate. If there's something that I need to replace that's in good condition I donate it. That means everything from clothing to printers. I've learned if there's something I can't use there is always someone else who can.

Happy Earth Day Beauties!

Going Green Wednesday: Which Bag are you using?

This video states, according to the Wall Street Journal Americans use 100 BILLION shopping bags per year!! Now that's a lot of bags that will still be here after we are long gone. Luckily there are tons of cute, what I call "Chi-eco" (Pronounced sheeco) friendly bags in various shapes, sizes & styles to choose from. which one will you use?

PS: If you need a bag I could probably send you one....LOL. Take a look at my stash!!

Going Green Wednesday: Just Throw it in the Bag

Not to sound so stereo typical, but, one of my all time favorite things is shopping!! Whether it's clothing, shoes, home decor, food....I think you get the point, I just love it. But, your probably wondering what my love of shopping has to do with going green? Well, the truth is, now when I know that I'm going out to shop for clothing or anything that requires a bag I try very hard to remember to bring my own re-usable bag. Over the summer while doing a bit of shopping in Soho I noticed a lot of the bigger brand retail stores were offering re-usable bags and that really made me take notice. I've been using my own bags when I go to the grocery store for months now why not for all purchases that require a bag? The pic above shows my oh so chic Target (I'm pronouncing it Tar-jae)bag. What? You didn't know I'm a frugalista fashionista....LOL. The icing on the cake for me is that Target gives you a credit of 5 cents every time you BYOB (bring your own bag). It's a nickel, but hey, I am a frugalista ;-).

What are your thoughts on this? How often do you BYOB for your purchases?

Going Green Wednesday: Do You Have This Issue?

These days I’m trying just as hard as everyone else to do all I can to lessen my personal carbon footprint. I must admit that I am proud of myself because I am doing better than I expected. You see, I am a person that loves convenience some of you may call it being lazy, but, I prefer the term “personal convenience”. I am, wait a minute let me rephrase that. I used to be the type of person that would send shirts to the dry cleaners just so I wouldn’t have to iron. Please don’t judge me I went to Catholic school and my mother made me iron five shirts every Sunday; so you feel my pain now? So when I decided to seriously take my responsibility for the excess waste I was creating , I decided to eliminate or cut back on many things and dry cleaning was one of them. Don’t get me wrong I still send items like my winter coats to the dry cleaners. But by cutting back on this one convenience that made my life so much easier, I’m eliminating the use of the extra plastic that is used to cover my clothing.
