My Pretty Valentine

By Posted on

Ah, Valentine’s Day. For some, it’s a day for flowers and romance. For others, it’s simply a good excuse to indulge in a little pampering. If you’re looking for a way to help celebrate the holiday, consider skipping the chocolates (good for the diet) and grabbing a beauty bauble (great for the face). Here’s a roundup of some of the prettiest holiday-themed treats in town:—

Stila Make Me Blush Set: Want a flushed, rosy glow? This trio includes two Lip Glazes – the first in a creamy pink and the second in a soft red, respectively called Hugs and Kisses – and the Make Me Blush powder compact, which combines multiple shades of pink and coral for perfectly flushed cheeks. ($20.00)

Lorac Be Mine Collection: This seven-piece kit includes all the makeup needed to create a bold, smoky eye and the perfect pink pout. Inside a Lorac storage clutch, you’ll find three eyeshadows in Sand (a subtle beige), Delight (a bold fuschia) and After Party (a black violet), the brand’s Lashes Volumizing & Thickening Mascara in Black, a pot of pink Desire blush, and a wand of shimmering pink Multiplex 3D Lip Gloss in Vivid. Valued at $125, this kit offers plenty of beauty bang for the buck.  ($37.00)

NARS Forever Yours Eye, Lip & Illuminator Set: This limited-edition collection will help create a glowing, luminous look. It includes the beloved NARS Orgasm Illuminator, which can be used alone or with foundation for radiant looking skin, a peachy pink lip gloss in Deep Throat, and a black shadow pencil in Aigle Noir. Added bonus: the kit comes with “Get the Look” instructions. ($49.00)

Philosophy Sweet on You Set: Looking for something a little sweeter? This set includes a candy-scented Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath, a hydrating Body Lotion and the high-gloss Lip Shine. All three products contain moisturizing ingredients for soft, kissable skin. ($25.00)

The Language Workshop For Children

<p dir="ltr">After offering both group and private lessons for many years and analyzing the results over time, The Language Workshop for Children, founded in1973, has decided to emphasize private remote lessons at shorter intervals. Our skilled educators will focus their attention exclusively on the unique needs, learning style, and interests of your child. This allows a bond to develop between teacher and student, which has been shown to drastically improve retention. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>OUR METHOD </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Developed by the pioneers of language education for children, our programs bring decades of experience to your living room with individualized, active language classes. Each lesson is based on proven methods and materials perfected to capture your child’s attention during the ages when he/she absorbs information the fastest.   </p> <p dir="ltr">While other online language classes rely on videos for passive learning, we deliver interactive, and engaging lessons with native-fluent teachers. In addition, all our teachers are certified in the Thibaut Technique which has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and many other well-respected publications.  </p> <p dir="ltr">Our short one-on-one lessons give kids the chance to focus, hear pronunciation clearly, and practice speaking in their target language. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>THE PROCESS</strong> </p> <p dir="ltr">First, students have a short meeting with our Director Francois Thibaut, in English, with their parent(s) present. Mr. Thibaut will determine the best course of study, including class length and frequency, the right teacher, lesson format and materials (or action games for younger students.) Then the learning begins! Mr. Thibaut will continually check in on your child’s learning to assure they are getting the most of their classes. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>OTHER OFFERINGS </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">We can also help your child prepare for: the French subject tests for SAT, AP & CLEP, the European DELF/DALF, the Canadian TEF and other standardized testing, college entry exams, studying or traveling abroad, cultural changes when moving abroad, and much more! </p> <p><span id="docs-internal-guid-a97d759c-7fff-6e4d-8e93-70e093aa10f1"> </span></p>

Belle da Costa Greene: A Librarian's Legacy

<p>The Morgan Library & Museum will present a major exhibition devoted to the life and career of its inaugural director, Belle da Costa Greene (1879–1950). Widely recognized as an authority on illuminated manuscripts and deeply respected as a cultural heritage executive, Greene was one of the most prominent librarians in American history. The exhibition will trace Greene’s storied life, from her roots in a predominantly Black community in Washington, D.C., to her distinguished career at the helm of one of the world’s great research libraries. Through extraordinary objects―from medieval manuscripts and rare printed books to archival records and portraits―the exhibition will demonstrate the confidence and savvy Greene brought to her roles as librarian, scholar, curator, and cultural executive, and honor her enduring legacy.</p>
