THE TOX GREENWICH JUST LAUNCHED — AND HERE’S EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

If you’ve heard the buzz about opening in Old Greenwich, let me confirm it: the hype is real. Their signature lymphatic technique has officially arrived on Sound Beach Ave, and it is already bookmarked as becoming a 2026 go-to ritual for Greenwich women who want to look sculpted, feel lighter, and leave with that unmistakable post-Tox glow.

Even though their doors don't opem until January, they are offering a Founding Membership for the first 100 clients. For $49 a month you unlock discounted session pricing, complimentary upgrades, a VIP swag bag and priority booking. If you’re someone who loves results and consistency, this membership is a no-brainer.

Here’s a quick snapshot of the service menu so you can understand what they offer:
• 60 Minute Master Tox: $129
• 90 Minute Master Tox: $229
• 60 Minute Master Tox + Sculpting Facial (100 min): $249
• 90 Minute Master Tox + Sculpting Facial (130 min): $339
• Sculpting Facial: $129
• Pregnancy Tox: $149

And the biggest question: Why The Tox?
Their method targets stubborn fat and cellulite, reduces bloating and water retention, boosts circulation, promotes clearer skin, and releases tension from head to toe. Think of it as detoxing, sculpting and resetting your entire system in one session. Many people experience better sleep, a calmer body, and that “reset” feeling you don’t realize you needed until you get it.

For the GGs Who Are Exhausted, But Refuse to Look It

Let's talk about the most right-now relevant issue many of us are facing: under eyes that look tired, shadowed, or just a little worn out from life and the holidays.

It is officially tired under eye season and I am right there with you.

I visited the , Laura and Diana Palmisano, co-founders of Skin Solutions Collective on Greenwich Ave, and their Triple R Philosophy - “Refine, Rebuild, Restore” - completely changed the way I think about facial rejuvenation.

Instead of pushing quick fixes, Laura built a treatment plan that works with my natural biology which I loved. Stay tuned for our multi-step journey.

In the meantime, these are the three treatments Laura recommended for the under-eye area that are at the top of my list for instantly looking rested in no time:

1. Thermage Eyes
A non-invasive tightening treatment that lifts and firms the upper and lower eyelids by stimulating collagen. Perfect for crepey skin, fine lines, and that heavy eye feeling that shows up in every photo after 5 PM.

2. PRF Under Eyes
PRF, or Platelet Rich Fibrin, uses your body’s own growth factors to improve texture, hollowness, and discoloration. PRF Gel can also be used to gently restore volume in areas of hollowness, giving a softer, more lifted under-eye appearance. PRF Gel adds soft volume while traditional PRF boosts cellular repair for smoother, healthier skin. It is a completely natural option that works beautifully over time.

3. Botox for Facial Framework
Strategically placed Botox in targeted areas like the forehead, crow’s feet, or brow line helps lift the eyes, soften expression lines, and create a subtly refreshed, awake look. Think of it as a brightening filter, but real.

These three are especially perfect for the holiday season when we are all running, hosting, wrapping, celebrating, and desperately needing to look like we slept eight hours even when we didn’t.

Confession: I’ve been doing my makeup the same exact way since high school (just… with more concealer). Enter Sarah Chetta, the absolute genius behind the makeup program, who kindly but firmly showed me that everything I thought I knew about my face was basically… wrong... in the best possible way.

We spent two hours going step by step through my routine, and the transformation was unreal. If you want a major upgrade without falling into a YouTube tutorial black hole, book a private session with her:
[email protected]

And honestly, file this under “best gift idea ever.”

Here’s the honest breakdown of the (very up-close) before and after: Swipe to see -->

• Heavy eyeliner and lip liner? I thought it was my going-out signature. Sarah explained it’s actually harsh and super outdated. Sharp lines shrink the eyes and as we get older, we want to open the eyes, not close them off.

• Contour under the cheekbone?
Guilty. I thought it was a hard and fast rule. Sarah showed me that bronzer and blush, used correctly, actually lift the face. You can literally see the difference.

• Foundation matching:
No more going darker for a “tan.” Turns out that ages us instantly. The right shade makes you brighter, fresher, younger — instantly.

I walked in thinking I needed new products.
I walked out realizing I just needed the right technique. (Okay, and maybe just a few new products🫢🤗🤗)

The Flat Anything Fix Is Here, GGs.
If your hips, hip dips, butt, thighs or other areas, have looked a little flat or deflated lately, especially after GLP-1 or rapid weight changes, you are not imagining it. There is a new injectable treatment that everyone is whispering about and it is a total game changer.
I sat down with the experts at to get the real story on and and why these are becoming the most requested treatments for natural looking volume and lift.
Here is the breakdown you will want to save:
• Alloclae = purified, bio enhanced fat. It restores soft, natural volume and is incredible for anyone who wants the most natural look.
• Radiesse = builds structure and stimulates collagen. Think firmness, shape, and support.
• Alloclae = replaces fat with fat and works beautifully for GLP-1 patients who have lost volume.
• Hip dips, butts, thighs, breasts and other deflated areas respond incredibly well.
• Results are immediate with no surgical downtime.
• Pain level is low with just local lidocaine.
• For GLP-1 users, it is ideal to treat during your stable phase, not active loss.
• Studies show Alloclae lasts longer than traditional fillers.
The biggest thing taught me was this.
Alloclae = soft fullness.
Radiesse = firm structure.
Together they can rebuild a shape that looks like your body, just restored.

I have only recently noticed what a full-blown pasta enthusiast I am, considering my Holy Ravioli post was less than three weeks ago. But honestly, when dishes like this keep appearing in my life, how could I not be?

From the beloved restaurant, a true town staple, I just had these butternut squash agnolotti for lunch and they are pure winter magic. Little dumpling puffs from heaven, filled with velvety butternut that literally melts in your mouth. They swim in warm brown butter, get kissed by crispy sage, and arrive topped with golden ribbons that make you forget anything else exists beyond this bowl.

Silky. Cozy. Comfort in its most delicious form. A Greenwich Girl cold-day essential.

I’m a firm believer that aesthetics are a major part of your brand identity. Every business owner knows how critical Instagram is for visibility and growth, and I’m constantly asked for tips on posting, visuals, and strategy. So I’m sharing a few of my go-to Instagram tips — from one small business owner to another.

The Instagram Insider:3 Tips Every Biz Owner Shoud Know
If you’re creating your own content, here are three tiny but transformational IG tips that will instantly make your posts look cleaner, more professional, and way more shareable. Start by saving the size guide on the next slide - it truly matters.

1. Use the right size so IG doesn’t butcher your post:
Using 1080×1440 for posts and 1080×1920 for Reels + Stories keeps everything crisp instead of letting Instagram crop or blur your content. Clean visuals = better reach.

2. Keep all text in the “safe zone”:
Even with the right dimensions, IG hides the edges with buttons and overlays. Keep your key text in the center area so nothing gets chopped off. Readable content always performs better.

3. Design vertical first:
Vertical formats take up the most screen space and naturally get pushed further on Explore.

If you have ever grabbed a coffee from Raphaël’s Bakery, you already know the joy of that bright orange cup. But the real magic? The complimentary little pastry that comes with every order. A European tradition (much like the goodies that come before your meal at ) that adds a warmth and welcome many places have forgotten and more should adopt. Sidenote: to the restaurants charging for bread baskets… please stop that immediately.

Raphaël’s Bakery has been a Greenwich favorite since opening on Mason Street, and now the beloved French family bakery has officially opened in Darien at 370 Heights Road.

Think fresh, on-site baked baguettes, croissants, brioche, macarons, pain au chocolat, and pastries crafted with ingredients imported from France.

Run by the Dequeker family, Raphaël is a third-generation French pâtissier who has been surrounded by baking since childhood. The result is a bakery that feels authentic, charming, and completely transportive.

Greenwich discovered it first. Now Darien gets to fall in love too.

I literally cannot wait to go back. Talk about the restaurant destination of all restaurant destinations. Tucked just off the Post Road in Cos Cob, sits quietly and almost too quietly for what might be the biggest secret in town. Blink and you will miss it, but step inside once and you will wonder how you ever lived without it. From the moment you walk in you feel it. This place is special. It is intimate but not cramped, cozy yet unbelievably pristine. One of the cleanest kitchens and dining rooms I have ever seen. The stacked logs behind the counter add warmth and the welcome from Rabbi Tovia, who oversees the kosher kitchen, instantly makes you feel at home.

I have never experienced kosher cuisine like this. The Rabbi blesses the food, lights the fires, and oversees every detail. You taste the the tradition in every bite. (Swipe for pics and vids --> )
The Menu Eastern Europe Reimagined:
Chef David Teyf brings modern creativity to Eastern European comfort food. The flavors feel nostalgic but refined and elevated. The food tastes clean and right. As I said over dinner, this restaurant has ruined all of my future dining experiences because now I know how food should taste.

My meal started with Minsk Matsa Babka and Chicken Blintzes along with house pickled tomatoes and pickles. Then came the showstoppers. Smoked Pistarami Mini Donuts. Signature Franks in a Blanket. Greenwich and Delancey Chicken Fingers. Shiitake Mushroom Deviled Eggs. And the incredible Tableside Pastrami Experience.

This is not just pastrami. It is Chef Davids version of omakase. Carved right in front of you, cured for weeks, and melt in your mouth tender. If you think you have had pastrami before, think again. Do not miss the Modern Brooklyn Egg Cream. It is dairy free, fizzy, nostalgic, and so delicious.

Located at 59 E Putnam Ave, Greenwich and Delancey brings Eastern European tradition together with modern comfort. It is warm, welcoming, and memorable.

If you want a meal that feels bold, nostalgic, and unforgettable, this is the place. 👓 Full article on GreenwichGirl.com

If you’re even remotely into fashion, you’ve probably seen the effortlessly chic feed of - a stream of stylish passerby interviews capturing real, in-the-wild outfits across CT (mostly Greenwich & Fairfield County), NYC, and the Hamptons. It is one of those accounts that instantly pulls you in.

Curious about the creative mind behind the camera, I reached out and met up with Wren Alaia, the host and founder of Connecticut Luxury. Over coffee, we dove into her deep love of fashion, her background in PR and reporting, and her eye for spotting trends before they hit the mainstream.

By the time my latte was gone, one thing was clear:

Wren - and Connecticut Luxury - are the go-to source for seeing what’s actually being worn right now in Greenwich.

If you want real style inspiration, current trends in action, and a pulse on what’s “in” across our region, definitely give a follow.

The Most Unexpected Spot in Town

If you have ever crept through the East Putnam funnel heading toward the top of Greenwich Avenue, you have probably hit the brakes for that window. Bold color, quirky personality, and a hit of NYC cool that makes you look twice.

Welcome to Greenwich Art + Design, the newest creative gem in town and one of the most exciting additions to the Greenwich scene.

Founded by muralist and artist Suzanne Bellehumeur, this space is so much more than a shop. With over 35 years of experience, Suzanne transforms rooms into immersive, living works of art. The moment you step inside, you feel it. Her vibrant wall finishes wrap the entire space in color and energy, turning the shop into a walk through masterpiece.

Upstairs is a curated mix of unexpected finds: tabletop treasures, sculptural decor, pillows, paintings, jewelry, and those pieces that make you stop and say, Where did you find this?

And then there is the secret. Downstairs is a hidden gallery with major if you know you know vibes. It adds a hit of NYC energy right here at home.

BACKBEAT: The Lost Photography of .friedman.photography

In the late 60s and early 70s, Michael Friedman captured candid moments of music legends before they were legends: Janis Joplin, The Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, Kris Kristofferson, The Band, Todd Rundgren, Paul Butterfield, and more.

These photos, taken between 1969 and 1973, were never printed or shared until his wife found them decades later in their attic. They went on to anchor a year long Rock and Roll Hall of Fame exhibit and inspired the book EXPOSED: The Lost Negatives and Untold Stories of Michael Friedman.

Why You Need to Go

Greenwich Art + Design is not just a shop. It is a mood. A creative escape. A little NYC edge wrapped in Greenwich charm.

Whether you love art, design, or discovering something that feels special, this is your new must visit spot.
