NYC's Hottest New Proposal Spot

Couples have an all-new reason to love New York: a giant engagement ring in Riverside Park South. The romantic installation, created by artist, Reina Kubota, is large enough for couples to sit, stand, or kneel beneath.
As part of the Art Students League of New York’s Model to Monument program, the larger-than-life engagement ring (which swaps out the classic diamond for a red apple) will live along the Hudson River (near 66th Street) until May 2014. Couples can share a stroll along the river followed by a quiet moment beneath the steel band.
Kubota’s sculpture, titled “Ringo” (the Japanese word for apple), is her personal love-letter to Manhattan. Visitors of the installation have already been swept away by the piece and it will undoubtedly be one of New York’s most romantic spots this summer.
We can’t help but imagine how many lovely engagements will take place beneath it! Planning an engagement photo session in the city? Make sure you add "Ringo" to your site list — the sculpture would make a great whimsical backdrop for your photos.

Tip of the Day: It's no secret that guests love edible favors; it's easier than you think to make your own! Sweet jams are a top trend right now and there are lots of different in-season fruits to choose from during the summer months. Package your jams creatively and with a pretty label and they'll look just as gourmet as store-bought varieties.

Surviving a Holiday Weekend on a Diet
Hope you all had a great Fourth of July weekend! My week started off with wonderful weight-loss news and a killer new workout plan. I regrettably overindulged a bit on the 4th, but I got myself right back on track the next day. There’s no stopping me from here!
Monday, July 1
I had an awesome workout with Bonne Marcus on Saturday. Because I didn’t see her last week, I hadn't been weighed in two weeks. When I got on the scale, I was down six pounds! I was completely overjoyed, and I'm even more motivated now that I know this is working. Bonne also took my measurements for the first time since our first workout nine weeks ago, and I'm down one inch off my arm and waist and a half inch off my thigh and hips. I was so happy, I can’t even explain the feeling!
Bonne gave us a new workout this week — and, thank god, there are no step ups! Rene had some trouble breathing in the middle of the routine and had to sit down and rest after 40 minutes. He needs to learn to breathe through his nose and not hold his breathe in order to keep his heart rate down. Some of the new moves in this routine incorporated the stability ball and the medicine ball, which made it fun but even more difficult.
By the time we were done, Bonne had to literally peel us off the floor:

Tip of the Day: Add patriotic flair to your wedding by selecting red or blue as the dominant color in your palette; not both. For example, cobalt bridesmaid dresses and fire-engine red centerpieces are chic on their own, but mix them together, and you risk being cliché. The only exception: Your bridal ensemble. "Something blue" heels and red lipstick or nails will look amazing in photos and add a pop of color to your white dress!
