Thursday Trend Day | Your Own Private Driver

Hello Lovelies!

We have your solution to getting around on a busy night out on the town, Uber! Uber is an awesome car service that you can contact easily through an app. This is perfect for a night out with the girls, a bachelorette party or even a ride home from a friends wedding that you had a little too much fun at :).

All you do is set your pickup location on the map, and a car will be there in a matter of minutes to bring you wherever you need to go! Uber sends you a text message with an estimated time of arrival and another when they arrive at your location. And no need for cash, you put in your credit card information at the beginning and you are automatically charged at the end of the trip. What an amazing idea for getting around a big city for your next bachelorette party!

Thursday Trend Day | Getting over that hangover with Mercy

Hello Lovelies!

I know many of you are going to be celebrating this weekend either for a wild bachelorette party or for good old St. Patty's Day. At the end of the long night full of laughter, dancing and celebration the worst thing to think about is the dreaded hangover that will set in the following afternoon. Unfortunately, no one really prepares for the post-wedding celebrations when all the drinking catches up with you and the dreaded hangover sets in. Now there is Mercy to save us from the dreaded hangover. It claims to help with the backlash of the dreaded next day hangover with a special mix of nutrients and vitamins.

Here is the info on there site on how it works: Mercy is a caffeine-free and non-alcoholic drink that is backed with over eight years of research and development with Gwyneth Paltrow as an investor and Dr. Steven Lamm backing the drink. When consumed as the last drink of the night, Mercy is the most effective product on the market at preventing hangovers thanks to its combination of nutrients, vitamins (B1 and C) and amino acids that produce the amino acid glutathione. Glutathione battles the toxin, acetaldehyde, which your body produces when you drink, and helps to prevent acetaldehyde from invading your body's cells and stealing oxygen from them. Mercy provides the nutrients needed to prepare cells so they are oxidized and healthy when you wake up. For every three-five alcoholic drinks you consume, the Mercy team recommends drinking one can of Mercy.

Good Luck!

Dedicated Post - Atlantic City here I come! - Not just for your Bachelorette Party

So, are you planning a bachelorette party? Well if you must, have you tried AC? I know, kinda too close to those Jersey shore folks for your comfort. But I actually tried it and had a good time!
Me and a couple of my fellow wedding editors were invited to enjoy a weekend last summer by ACES, the only direct train from Penn Station to Atlantic City, and I must say traveling by train is so relaxing and care free.

First stop was the check in at Harrah's Resort. They have a great Pool party at night if your interested and the accommodations were great for a fun weekend.

We had cocktails at D'Zio, a Brazilian Steak house at Harrah's.

Next we had dinner at Mia, Caesars Atlantic City. So yummy! With soaring ceilings and majestic Roman Columns this restaurant is perfect for a dinner before a night on the town with your girls but it is also a great dining room for a rehearsal dinner or bridal brunch.

Then we hit the dance floor at Dusk at Caesars and later we landed a couple others like MIXX at The Borgata. It was TONS of FUN! If you can get the VIP, do it, cause the lines on some of these clubs are crazy! We were actually there when Jermaine Dupri popped in for his birthday! Totally understand why people flock here for their bachelor and bachelorette parties ;)

Really, I never thought that Atlantic City was a place to say I do but this ultra modern and fab place totally changed my mind. It is breath taking. Everything they do is custom. From the decor to the food and entertainment, they do it all for you. Quite wonderful to have everything in one spot.

This was their bathroom! What a view!

Well after a long and hard weekend at work/play, I relaxed in the sunny beaches, explored the boardwalk and tried my luck on the slots and won! I would definitely go back :)
