Adhere Me Out

Wallpaper reminds me of the 70s, and not in a good way. But that may have all changed - I really liked Eskayel’s amazing line of kaleidoscopic wallpaper from Daily Candy a couple of weeks ago: Adhere Me Out

Chocolate Skulls

OK, I have to admit that this comes wholly from Daily Candy Chicago, but I had to spread the word to New York, as these SKULLS can be ordered online. What could be better than a regular skull for Halloween? Well a CHOCOLATE skull of course!

Dia de los Muertos Chocolate Skulls
What: Solid chocs with edible, salt-coated eyes made in honor of the Mexican holiday.
Where: Vosges Haut Chocolat, 520 N. Michigan Ave., at Grand Ave. (312-644-9450); 951 W. Armitage Ave., at Sheffield Ave. (773-296-9866).

Daily Candy: Hair Party 24 Hours Beauty Salon

OK, so I am a slacker this week. I am borrowing another one from Daily Candy. But I couldn't pass it up, it's so good.

Wax Around the Clock
Hair Party 24 Hours Beauty Salon

Notice how most places open 24 hours a day 365 days a year — casinos, brothels, precincts, McDonald’s — are the kind that get you in trouble.
The one to get you out of it? Hair Party 24 Hours, a new Murray Hill Korean spa and salon where you can make the most of your preening hours — be they in the still of the night or break of day.
We tried a 5 a.m. pedicure for an 8 a.m. flight, a 9 a.m. blowout for a 1 p.m. meeting, and a 2 a.m. wax for a 3 a.m. booty call. Even tested an eyebrow shaping.
It’s not a total steal (what is?), but service is swift, efficient, and skilled. Wine and champagne get you in the mood for whatever’s next.
Like getting into trouble.
Hair Party 24 Hours, 76 Madison Avenue, at 28th Street (212-213-0056 or hair24hours.com).
