Thai Amarin: Springfield, NJ

Sandwiched between a bank drive thru, dry cleaner, and Muscle Maker Grill in a tiny strip mall in Jersey, you’ll find Thai Amarin, a hidden gem of Thai cuisine. Once you get past its blink-and-you’ll-miss-it humble storefront, you’ll be instantly transported into a warm and welcoming dining room that smells like sandalwood and jasmine. Check […]

Narenj Persian Grill: Basking Ridge, NJ

For my mom’s birthday on Thursday, she and I wanted to go to go out for a special lunch treat. We wanted something that we don’t get everyday, but we wanted to make sure the place was awesome. We turned to Narenj Persian Grill in Basking Ridge, New Jersey: our tried and true go-to fave […]

Bunheads

I’ve wanted to talk about ABC Family’s Bunheads since the pilot episode. In the first ten minutes of the premiere, a strict looking ballet teacher goes up and down aisles of barres, inspecting her students and stops to tap her cane on the non-existent (outside of the world of ballet) backside of the beautiful dancer […]

Butter London Limited Edition Heavy Medals Collection

So the Olympics are in full swing and you haven’t left the couch for days. We get it. Collaboreight editors have been glued to the TV since the opening ceremony, but somehow bronze, silver, and gold seem right at our fingertips. (See what I did there?) If the closest I’ll ever get to an Olympic […]

Mercure And Me: Luxembourg

Okay, so I’m kind of a hoarder when it comes to hotel toiletries. They’re cute, convenient, and great ways to try out new — and often times, exclusive — products. And sometimes, they’re surprisingly awesome. Take, for instance, these “Mercure and Me” complimentary products from the Mercure Hotel in Luxembourg City. Fun, graphic bottles and […]

Crayons, Markers, & Pencils: Not Your Back-to-School Supplies

I always hated that Back-to-School shopping already got started while I was still in school. Come on guys, sweaters in July? That sounds like the worst idea ever. Forget about your composition notebooks and have fun with these crayons, markers, and pencils: the kind you’ll probably actually look forward to shopping for.
