    Niu Noodle House

    Niu (chinese for cow/beef) Noodle is a newbie in West Village that is causing quite a stir! With only a handful of Asian places to eat, Niu stands out because of the creative fusion, amazing decor, cool bowls and chopsticks with the Niu cow holder and of course delicious food and drinks.


    Fresh daily made noodles and dimsum is just the beginning. The broth is rich and multi layered and for ramen lovers who want to try something besides Ippudo? Niu could be your new favorite spot.   The dim sum crystal white bunnies come on their own cucumber pedastal and rival Red Farm’s Pac Man Dumplings at a fraction of the cost and none of the attitude.

    Save room for desert, the crepe cake and shaved ice mango is to die for.

    @TIGIHaircareUSA Hair Reborn Product Review

    TIGI recently released their newest hair care line, Hair Reborn, and I got to try it out!

    First I learned about the new line at their flagship studio in SoHo…

    TIGI Hair Reborn features highly concentrated ingredients that repair and protect the hair. The products are designed to leave even the most damaged hair smooth, healthy and frizz-free by using caring ingredients to restore hair to its natural, youthful state.

    There are three different “journeys,” or collections of shampoo, conditioner and treatments for you to chose from based on your hair type ($30-$45):

    • Resurgence for dry hair
    • Awakening for week, damaged hair
    • Serenity for frizz-prone hair

    The line also features a collection of “Style Treats,” styling products for use on all hair regardless of which journey you choose. Style treats include:

    • Rebuilding Wax ($30)
    • Texturizing Souffle ($30)
    • Restorative IllunminOil ($30)
    • Resurfacing Lusterizer ($30)
    • Colour Protecting Conditioning Tonic ($30)
    • Flexible Finishing Hairspray ($30)

    I took home the Resurgence collection: Hydra-Synergy Shampoo, Hydra-Synergy Conditioner and Time Extend Moisture Lotion Take-Home Treatment. And the Rebuilding Wax, Restorative IlluminOil, Resurfacing Lusterizer, and Flexible Finishing Hairspray.

    And here is the result…

    I loved it! The shampoo and conditioner made my hair feel clean, but moisturized, and I really liked the scent. I’m partial to sulfate-free shampoos, but I felt this one was gentle even though it does contain sulfates.

    The Time Extend Moisture Lotion has come to be my new best friend. It’s an instant shot of moisture as soon as it touches your hair and you only need a dollop. It made my hair smooth and tangle free.

    I’ve mixed and matched the styling products, but my favorite it the Restorative IlluminOil. It’s great for adding shine and protecting hair from humidity.

    TIGI Hair Reborn is an exclusive brand that can only be found in select salons. Check out TIGI’s website to find a salon near you: www.tigihairreborn.com
