1. Drink This! “The Manhattan”

Classic. Sophisticated. Stately. The Manhattan will make you look great and feel even better!


2 oz blended whiskey
1/2 oz sweet vermouth
1/2 oz dry vermouth
1 dash bitters
Maraschino cherry [optional]

Pour all ingredients into cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously and strain into a martini glass. Add a cherry if desired.

2. Watch This! “Pan’s Labyrinth”

We’re going to go out on a limb and suggest that you take advantage of what’s out on DVD. Pan’s Labyrinth has been compared to The Chronicles of Narnia, Spirited Away, Bridge to Terabithia and Labyrinth, but Spanish director Guillermo del Toro takes fantastical fright and fun to another level with this award-winning whirlwind ride. Netflix it today!

3. Wear This! “The Flat”
Girls, you know your feet hurt! Get out of those heels and into some flats for the summer. They’re versatile, and depending on where you work, you can go right from work to play. What’s better than that? If you pick up these (or a variation of sorts), you’ll be well on your way to lazy days and comfortable nights.

.

Here are a couple of variations on the original. What do you think, love muffins? (And yes, we used a picture of Amy from her ‘healthier’ days. It’s a whole different look!)

5. Do This! “Dinner & A Movie”
.

You can take an old school date and really spice it up. Thursday through Saturday, Cinespace offers a splendiferous dinner and an entertaining movie for those interested in making reservations. Their food is great, and the atmosphere is sleek. This isn’t a new spot in Hollywood, but it’s one of our favorites, and that’s why we’re suggesting it to you.
