I had these at brunch on Monday and WOW. Nix the cinnamon, add in a fresh blueberry before breading, and dust the final product with powdered sugar. Melt-in-your-mouth good.
My new friend Jessa Blades did the makeup for the bridal fashion show I produced last weekend (I highly recommend her services! She is so lovely and professional and made my models look super hot but not too made up.) and we got to talking…we were wearing practically the same shade of nail polish but she informed me hers was actually chemical free. Now, I try not to eat anything with artificial colors or flavors, avoid processed foods, use natural soap, deodorant, lotion, everything down to my chapstick but I still get the occasional manicure. It never even occurred to me that I could use a polish without the nasty chemicals. Jessa recommends the line Priti 3 Free with lots of great colors (they even have a natural remover), and I got us a 20% off code (brooklynbased) for a site that carries it along with a bunch of other natural cosmetics lines, Spirit Beauty Lounge. Enjoy and be healthy!
Look here for a list of places that carry Priti in NYC.
(ok, boys, you can start reading again. or pass this onto your sister/girlfriend/mom!)
Also, note the Truman Capote connection. Creepy.
