As you know by now, we are hosting a Fashion on Film event with Designer Patricia Field.  We are distributing our signature POP gift Bags and one of the items going into the bag is Urban Decay Stalker Eye Shadow.

Urban Decay was launched in 1996 by Sandy Lerner, Wendy Zomnir, and David Soward.    They began with 10 shades of lipstick and 12 shades of nail polish in extreme colors.  They are known for their dramatic colors, seen on runways, magazines, and on television, making them a top choice for makeup today.  They are trend-setters who are here to stay, especially with such products as their Eye Shadow and Lip Gunk.   For more information and to purchase urban decay, visit their website here.

VAO VAO 64% is the perfect introduction to an authentic fine dark chocolate: well-balanced and mellow, it has a rich flavor profile with subtle notes of red berries and tropical fruit.

VAO VAO’s bean-to-bar process is time-intensive and artisanal, roasting the entire cocoa beans with the shell to capture the original cocoa flavor found on the island of Madagascar. And the fewer the ingredients, the purer and more refined the flavor!

Moreover, unlike numerous chocolate makers, VAO VAO is guaranteed single-origin, so you can enjoy the most authentic chocolate experience on the market.

A portion of the profits go to a micro-finance institution.

That is the question many men asked when the movie is mentioned.  Here’s a quick synopsis: It’s a movie based on the  NY Times bestseller by Elizabeth Gilbert experiencing the simple pleasure of nourishment by eating in Italy; the power of prayer in India; and, finally and unexpectedly, the inner peace and balance of love in Bali.  Oprah loved it so much she dedicated one her shows to Elizabeth and her book!  The movie stars Julia Roberts and you can check out the trailer above.
