Rihanna Spends $23 000 A Week On Hair

Ok, rich girls, how much money do you usually spend on your hair monthly? Count in everything, starting with all your treatments, vitamins, oils, coloring, trimming and up-dos for special events. Is it close to $92 000 per month? If your answer is no, than you can relax and stop being guilty for spending what you think is a fortune on your hair, as you still have a long way to go to match Rihanna’s spending. Yes, according to CelebTV.com, Rihanna spends around $23 000 a week on her hair.

Of course, Rihanna is a star and she needs to be interesting and keep her fans intrigued by her new hair styles and looks, but just think of it – $23K per week on hair! I love it! I am also happy for her celebrity hairstylist and new image beauty expert Ursula Stephen, who managed to come up with so many creative and innovative hair style ideas.

The only concern I have, is what really happens to Rihanna’s hair after all these radical transitions from one color to another? There must be some kind of secret magic hair product which prevents her hair from falling off.

Spend your money with chic, rich girls!

Yours,

Rich Girl

Top 10 Must-See Movies for Rich Girls

Sarah Danielson submitted a lot of interesting and useful articles to Rich Girls Club lately. Today I am glad to share with you the list of Top 10 Must-See movies, which Sarah carefully selected for us. I would love to know if you have already seen some of these movies and what did you think of them? Maybe there is your most favorite movie mentioned in this list? Maybe you can suggest us other interesting movies, which are not in this list? Please leave your thoughts and suggestions in the comments below. Kisses, Rich Girl.

Even rich girls sometimes spend a night at home, curled up in front of their flat screen in their own home theater. And for those nights when hitting the VIP room at the club or schmoozing with society elites sounds like too much to handle, a little at-home entertainment is in order. So pull out the caviar and Cristal and sink into the cushions of your designer couch; here are few movies that every rich girl will love.

Troop Beverly Hills (1989). What could be more fun than selling cookies door-to-door in Beverly Hills (if only it weren’t for the annoying red-feathers)? These girls are not your typical scouts; their problems include rich parents that forget your birthday (they planned a trip…without you) and dads who run off with the hired help. And their badges are for shopping and gem appraisal. But they have each other’s backs, and that’s what matters when you’re stuck in the woods with couture backpacks and no real knowledge of the wilderness.

Clueless (1995).The movie that spawned countless truisms like “whatever” and “as if” still has the power to entertain as rich girl Cher cluelessly stumbles through her sunny SoCal life with a giant wardrobe and a heart to match.

The Breakfast Club (1985). Nobody makes slumming it in detention look quite as good as Molly Ringwald (sushi for lunch? really?). Every rich girl in the room will give a little “Aww!” when she hands one of her diamond earrings to bad boy, rebel-without-a-cause Judd Nelson, who basically vows to help her grab the attention of her wealthy and neglectful parents.

Wall Street (1987). He may not have said it first, but Gordon Gekko certainly said it best: greed is good. Who cares if using insider information to earn a buck is illegal? The ends justify the means in this tale of ‘80s excess and cutthroat corporate competition. It’s all good (right up until Gekko goes to jail).

Heathers (1988). This movie is not so much about rich girls as the girls who rule the school, but with teenage suicide (don’t do it!) becoming the latest trend, it’s no surprise that the backstabbing between the three Heathers (and one Veronica) that rule the roost would reach epic proportions when a handsome stranger appears to stir the pot.

Jawbreaker (1999). There’s no shortage of movies about upper-crust girls behaving badly, but this one goes from bad to worse when the murder of a classmate (by Jawbreaker candy) puts a couple of girls in the hot-seat and lands one mousy witness in the money. For her silence, she gets a rich-girl makeover, complete with attitude.

Trading Places (1983). What happens when two old men with too much money start making bets about the power of social position? Hilarity ensues, in the form of one well-bred, high-powered stock-broker (Dan Aykroyd) being tricked into switching places with a wheedling street thug (Eddie Murphy). Luckily, they work together to get rich and put the gambling grandpas out of business.

Grey Gardens (2009). Let this serve as a warning: a good family name can go a long way, but once the money starts to run out, it’s all too easy to end up living in a run-down mansion with your crazy mother. And this movie imparts another lesson, as well; avoid head scarves at all costs!

Jerry Maguire (1996). Does it get any better than Tom Cruise shouting “Show me the money!” at the top of his lungs to secure the devotion of his one remaining client as he quits his high-paying job to strike out on his own? Of course, his tale of hardship isn’t quite as enthralling as the lengths he goes to where love is concerned. You had us at hello, Jerry.

Cinderella (1950). The penultimate movie for rich girls showcases a poor girl who strikes it rich not through hard work, but because she catches the attention of handsome prince. Of course, her winning attitude doesn’t hurt, but we all know it’s the magic of her fairy godmother (early personal stylist) and the glass slippers that really seal the deal. Looking for an updated version of this movie? Try Pretty Woman or one of about a dozen remakes (both animated and live).

My Favorite Skincare Products This Summer

Summer is in the full swing and I am really enjoying every minute of it. I love summer because I can stay outside as much as I want, enjoy barbeques with friends, ride a bicycle, play golf and tennis and constantly swim in the Sea. Oh, I love the Sea! I feel so blessed to be able to swim in the luxurious Mediterranean Sea on a daily basis. What can be better than that?

Summer is also great, because you don’t need to wear a lot of makeup, you can almost leave your face as it is and still look tanned and beautiful. My makeup during summer stays almost untouched, all I use during day time is a lip gloss and mascara, and for my nights out I love to apply my smokey eyes kit.

Although makeup can be set aside, I don’t forget to pay extra attention to my skin as it needs extra care during summer, because of constant exposure to the sun. So, below are the products which I use and which work wonders to my skin. I am not a beauty blogger, expert or dermatologist and don’t intend to become one. I just want to share with you beauty products which work for me, which I use and love and provide you with the opportunity to share some of your favorite products with me. So girls,let’s stay rich, young and beautiful forever!

Sunscreen

1 – Face

Here in Spain the sun is very strong and as it shines every day all day through out the year, sunscreen becomes your number 1 friend. I am not going out of my house without applying sunscreen to my face. This summer my favorite is La Roche-Posay with SPF 60. I love it’s light texture and the fact that it absorbs instantly.

La Roche-Posay Anthelios 60 Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid ( Normal/ Combination Skin )

2 – Body

For protecting my body from sun rays I use SHISEIDO Lotion with SPF 30. Before living in Spain I never used sunscreens with more than SPF 10. Now SPF 30 is a minimum I use here and I still get my tan. There was an article, unfortunately I don’t remember where exactly I read it, that the word sunscreen should be banned from creams with SPF protection less than 30.

Shiseido Extra Smooth Sun Protection Lotion N SPF 30 UVA

3 – Lips

Sometimes, when I want my lips to relax from any lip gloss or lipstick I am constantly wearing, I apply ELIZABETH ARDEN Eight Hour Lipcare. It nourishes my lips and also protects them from sun rays. I really should start using it more often. I also read somewhere that if you want your lips to be soft and beautiful, you should apply lip balm on your lips before you go to sleep. Should try it tonight.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Lipcare Stick

Face

I know that almost every girl has her own beauty ritual, when she spends almost an hour in the morning and the same amount of time before she goes to bed, in front of the mirror applying different kind of skincare products. I am a very lazy girl, I don’t like to spend a lot of time and effort and therefore I don’t have any specific ritual. What I do is as follows:

In the morning: I wake up, go to shower and after that apply my daily moisturizer on my face, neck and decollete area. After that apply a tiny bit of magic cream on my eyes and that’s it, ready to go Yeah, if I go out I also apply my sunscreen.

In the evening: I just wash my face with one step foaming cleanser, which cleans my skin and even eye area from all the dirt and again apply my moisturizer before going to bed.

Once per week I scrub my face with and lay down for 10 minutes with Hydra+ Moisturising Anti-Fatigue Mask by ROC.

And these are my beauty tricks Oh, and I visit my dermatologist from time to time for facials and to make sure she makes everything to preserve my beauty and youth.

The products I use for my so called beauty routine are as follows:

Moisturizer

During one presentation here in Marbella I received a sample of Gelee De Rose Intensive Multi-Active Moisturizer BY TERRY and was impressed by a light texture and effect it left on my skin. So, after I finished my sample I went out and bought this cream and never been happier. I use it in the mornings and sometimes in the evenings, before going to bed. I don’t need separate night cream.

By Terry Gelee De Rose Intensive Multi-Active Moisturizer 30ml/1oz

Cleanser

I already told you about my time and effort saving Flawless Skin Oil Free Foaming One Step Cleanser by LAURA MERCIER. If you are as lazy as me and you still feel like you should use some kind of cleanser, try this one and let me know afterwards how you loved it.

Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Oil Free Foaming One Step Cleanser 200ml/6.8oz

Eyes

My precious, precious eye! When I first noticed lines under my eyes, I was depressed for a week, but then I managed to get myself together and started looking for the best miraculous solution that could stop my eyes from losing it’s natural youth. I tried numerous products, but nothing seemed to work or satisfy me. Until one day I heard my friend raving about magical and rich Valmont cream and how satisfied she was with it. I researched a little bit and decided to try their cream for eyes. I loved it! I simply loved everything about it. Now this is the only product I use for my eyes.

Valmont AWF Cyto Complex Eye – Factor I 15ml/0.5oz

So, these are the skincare products which I use on a regular basis. The other beauty products which I want to try in the nearest future are La Mer Creme de La Mer and Clarisonic waterproof sonic skin care brush. Have you ever tried these products? Are they worth the money? Please let me know.

I never realized how hard it is to write about beauty products. How can someone explain in simple words the effect these products leave on your skin, the texture, smell, everything?! Beauty bloggers – you are geniuses!

I would love to hear about your favorite skincare products and your beauty rituals. Also, if you have your favorite beauty blogger that you love to read, please share the link with me I feel like I want to know more about skincare.

Stay beautiful, my lovely Rich Girls!

Yours,

Rich Girl

Hottest Skin Treatments to Keep You Looking Sexy

Young rich girls don’t need to worry about the things mentioned in this guest article, written for Rich Girl’s Club by Sarah Danielson, only girls who are older than 30 should start trying these treatments. If you ever tried these methods, you are welcome to share your experience with us and tell us what worked the best for you. I would love to hear

There’s no denying that we live in a culture that prizes youth. Magazines and billboards are plastered with dewy, fresh-faced models (some of them barely into their teens) and despite the fact that women are urged to “age gracefully”, celebrities and other public figures rarely look anywhere close to their actual age. Demi Moore, Iman, Elle Macpherson, Nicole Kidman, and many more look 10 to 20 years younger than they are. Whoever said 50 is the new 30 wasn’t kidding! Unfortunately, not all of us rich girls have a team of beauty experts on call to keep us looking like we’re still in our teens. But there are a lot of treatments that will help you stave off the ravaging effects of time (spotting, sagging, wrinkles, and so on). Here are just a few of the hottest treatments to try.

1. Facials. An oldie but a goodie; everyone can utilize this non-invasive procedure to perk up dull skin. If you can afford a facial every few weeks, you should definitely make it part of your regular routine. If you just don’t have the dough, you can do your own at home. Heat water in a pan, then hold your face close to capture the steam, with a towel over your head (take the pan off the stove first!). Once your pores are open, do extractions with Q-tips (not your fingers or a tool, which can lead to infections and scarring). Then do a scrub, a mud mask, and finally, finish off with a cooling gel and a light moisturizer. Voila! Perfect skin for less!

2. Peels. Chemical peels can be scary (yes, they burn off the top layer of skin – all the dead stuff), but they’re a great way to combat acne, decrease spotting and scarring, minimize fine lines, and leave your skin looking as soft as a baby’s butt. There are several types of chemicals that can be used (alpha hydroxy, beta hydroxy, retinoic, trichloroacetic, phenol, etc.) with varying degrees of strength, so you’ll need to talk to your dermatologist to choose the one that’s right for you. You’ll receive anesthesia and pain killers, but plan for some pain and potential complications (mainly from possible infection). You’ll need 1-2 weeks to recover, and some people get treatments 1-2 times a year. But the results could potentially last up to twenty years.

3. Lasers. This treatment is generally used to combat wrinkles and scarring (from acne) and it involves the use of pulsating laser light to systematically remove the upper layers of skin. After-care is similar to a chemical peel, as are results, but these treatments tend to penetrate deeper for better results. Puffiness and peeling can last for a couple of weeks, but afterwards your skin should have a younger, firmer appearance.

4. Botox. There is really no better way to get rid of severe wrinkles caused by strong facial muscles (frown lines, for example) than to opt for botox. Botulinum toxin (Botox) is actually the most powerful neurotoxin known to man, which means large doses can cause serious side effects. But in small, targeted applications (such as to your face), it is relatively safe and it has the ability to reduce lines, smooth facial muscles (by temporarily and/or partially paralyzing them), and it lasts up to 8 months. The best part is, you can enjoy surgical results without going under the knife.

5. Fillers. Dermal fillers are a minimally invasive way to plump skin (in particular, deep lines around the mouth, recessed scars, or sunken cheeks). Juvederm and Restylane are two of the most popular, but there are many options on the market that you can discuss with your dermatologist. Effects can last up to several months.

El Gran Gatsby Restaurant In Puerto Banus

A week ago I had a very special occasion and wanted to celebrate it in the unique and exquisite place. There are a lot of nice places around Marbella and Puerto Banus, but I needed not just a nice place, but something really special with spectacular views, romantic atmosphere and tasty food. So, I thought about El Gran Gatsby, recently opened restaurant in the exclusive place in Puerto Banus. I must say that I was taking a little bit of risk by going there, since this restaurant just opened and it was hard to find any reviews about this place. Anyway, I decided to trust my gut feeling and the fact that the owners of the place also own Magna Cafe, another famous and great restaurant.

I booked a table through the form on their site, after one hour a girl called me to confirm my booking and ask what time and where I preferred to be sited. Since I didn’t know the place I asked the girl to give us the best table they have. I really hoped she would place us at the best possible table, but I forced my expectations to stay low to avoid disappointment.

And so in the evening I put on my new dress, good mood and was ready to check out the new place and celebrate my special day.

When we arrived at El Gran Gatsby, we were pleasantly greeted and seated at the best table! I was so happy! The table was really the best I could think of with spectacular view of the port with amazing yachts on display. Also, because the restaurant is situated on the second floor, you can see the whole panorama of the port and my favorite La Concha mountain on the background. The interior also exceeded my expectations, it was cozy and at the same time very chic. At this point I could relax and start to enjoy my evening. It was time to order.

Although El Gran Gatsby has extended and exquisite choice of wine, we decided to go for my favorite Mumm Cordon Rouge champagne. They have more expensive champagne of course, but I somehow prefer Mumm and there is nothing you can do about it

As a starter we tried carpaccio of red prawns with spicy oil and ajo blanco sorbet. It was amazing! You can hardly understand that you are actually eating prawns, because they were cut so finely. I loved it.

As a second course my husband tried Asturian beef sirloin steak with virgin olive oil and allumette potatoes:

And I went for salt baked sea bass from the Veta de la Palma estate, served with potatoes and a spicy mojo sauce:

My Sea Bass was really good, and I haven’t even tried what my husband was eating, since I couldn’t even finish my dish. We both were very satisfied with the quality of food.

I also tried a desert, but it was just an ordinary chocolate fondant with chocolate ice-cream, nothing special.

I want also to mention exceptional service in El Gran Gatsby restaurant. During the evening at least 5 waiters were fussing around us, making our night so special. I want to thank everyone at the restaurant for such a wonderful and great job!

After we finished with the food, we walked around the restaurant to the open roof lounge area, where you can enjoy cocktails and food till the early morning. Maybe next time I should check it out as well.

I really enjoyed my time at El Gran Gatsby restaurant in Puerto Banus and would recommend this place for a quiet and romantic night or to take your business partners or guests to show one of the best restaurants in Puerto Banus. I am sure everyone will be satisfied.

Rich girls, have you been to El Gran Gatsby already? What do you think about this place?

Yours,

Rich Girl

Ricky Martin M.A.S. Tour Concert In Malaga

This weekend started early and was rich for events here in Marbella. First we celebrated San Juan on the night from 23rd to 24th of June, then on 24th continued with Ricky Martin concert in Malaga and my friends’ Agi birthday party, on 25th I decided to take it slow, entertained my mom, who is visiting me now, with some drinks and food in Puerto Banus and on Sunday 26th visited Opening BBQ Lunch Sunday at Suite del Mar. It was busy and hard partying for me for a couple of days, at some point I even made up my mind to give up drinking white wine, so today I just relax by the pool, drink green tea and reflect on the previous events.

Today I want to tell you about Ricky Martin concert in Malaga. It was amazing! I somehow didn’t expect a lot from this concert and it was a great surprise for me how great it turned out to be!

Ricky Martin is a special artist for me. I think I knew all of his songs from his album “Living La Vida Loca” by heart and even now can remember the summer of 1999 when I was in love and Ricky Martin’s songs were the perfect way to put my feelings into words. I guess I don’t need to tell you, that this guy was and still is as sexy as hell and as good looking as, well, it is hard for me to find someone who will be as good looking

Ricky’s voice and looks made him one of my favorite singers at that time. It was a real pity that he disappeared and was quiet for such a long time. No one was ever as good as Ricky Martin for me since.

Time flies fast and you forget about your favorite singers, so when I heard that Ricky Martin is coming to Malaga, I wasn’t that excited. Yes, I wanted to go, but my friend had her birthday party at the same day, so I thought I better go to her birthday. And only when I found out that birthday will be not earlier than at midnight, I said ok, let’s see if there are still some tickets left.

Concert took place in Auditorium Municipal in Malaga and I must say a couple of words about the venue. I was surprised to find out that the auditorium was very new, fresh and smartly organized. There were a lot of bathrooms, huge parking space and inside you have breathtaking views of the city from the upper seats and there is place for everyone. A lot of security and medical personnel made me feel secure and safe, which is so important during such massive concerts. So, the next time some major star will be performing in Malaga, I would go, as English people say, without a shadow of a doubt

The other pleasant surprise was that the concert started on time! I remember we waited for Madonna to start her show in Talinn for almost an hour! So, thank you Ricky for thinking about your fans

The show itself was amazing, with a lot of backing dancers, light effects and smart stage decoration. But the main attraction was Ricky Martin, of course! He was changing in different tight clothes all the time and looked amazing. My favorite outfit on him was white jeans and black jumper. Oh, man! They were showing him on two huge screens and girls just couldn’t get enough.

I also loved being with Spanish speaking people during the concert. For me it was a new and exciting experience. Spanish people know how to enjoy themselves, they were dancing, singing, cheering! It was such a pleasure to be among such friendly and happy crowd.

Ricky Martin’s songs are very lively and sensual at the same time, you can dance to any of them and that’s why time flies so fast! I didn’t even realize how almost two hours passed. I had such a great pleasure and fun! I would definitely recommend to everyone to go to Ricky Martin’s concert if you have a chance! You will enjoy every minute of it.

Here is the video from the concert in Puerto Rico:

Oh, and there was one song about Puerto Rico and they were showing pictures and amazing views of this spectacular country. It made me remember my vacation to Puerto Rico three years ago and how great it was! I want to go to Puerto Rico again now!!

What do you think about Ricky Martin, rich girls?!

Yours,

Rich Girl

Guest Post: The Girls Are Catching Up to the Boys in Poker

Today is dedicated to guest posts. I am glad, that girls are sending in their entries, it means that we are a real Rich Girls Club where everyone has a possibility to speak. I would like to introduce you to Torey Hendrix. Torey wrote an interesting article about girls in poker. I wanted to cover this topic a long time ago, but didn’t know where to start. And now Torey writes about the successful and lucky rich girls who have over $3 million in lifetime winnings from live poker tournaments. Maybe it is time to move those relaxed poker games at home to the next level, girls? Yours, Rich Girl

Poker may still be a “boys” game on the surface, as the vast majority of players are still male, but women have been closing the gap in recent years, as especially as the popularity of online blackjack and poker sites have grown. Plenty of women have had success at the poker tables for years (both in casual home games as well as at the highest stakes games) but it’s only in recent years that more and more women turn to poker as a full-time profession. The girls are now striking it rich in poker right alongside the boys, and in many cases are a much hotter commodity when it comes to sponsorship deals and endorsements.

“The heiress herself is a poker aficionado and yes, she wins!”

Top female pros such as Vanessa Rousso, Vanessa Selbst, Kathy Liebert, and Annette Obrestad each have over $3 million in lifetime winnings from live poker tournaments alone — a figure that doesn’t include playing in live cash games or their results from online play. Jennifer Harman Traniello just barely misses out on the $3 million club (although she does have over $2.5 million in lifetime tournament earnings) but she’s better known as one of the few women who’ve regularly battled with the best cash game players — think Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, and Daniel Negreanu — in Las Vegas’ biggest cash games.

As far as star factor, actress Jennifer Tilly is a regular feature at the tables, playing alongside boyfriend Phil Laak at many of the world’s biggest poker tournaments. She’s definitely picked up a thing or two herself, as she’s got a World Series of Poker win to her credit in a Ladies event as well as a win in a Bellagio tournament. Former model and TV star Liv Boeree has also proven handy at the poker table, winning an European Poker Tour event and eclipsing the $2 million mark in lifetime earnings.

More and more women are turning to online play as well to sharpen their games, which provides a comfortable and easy way to learn the game. Online sites now offer hundreds of games such as poker, blackjack, craps, and slots games online, enabling new players to learn and enjoy a variety of games without the intimidation factor of taking a seat live in a casino for the first time. And playing online can be just as lucrative for poker players, as many online pros easily make $100,000-$200,000/year, and all without ever having to leave the comfort of their favorite chair or couch.

Rich Girl Visits Michael Kors Paris Store

Those of you who have been reading Rich Girls Club for a while know how much I love Michael Kors brand. I love everything about it – handbags, shoes, accessories and dresses and, of course, Michael Kors’ smile. So, when I was in Paris in the middle of March this year, I couldn’t resist the temptation to visit Michael Kors’ brand new store on my favorite street – 279 rue Saint-Honoré.

The store just opened on the 7th of March, a week before I was there. Michael Kors himself was present at the launch of his spanking new boutique, can’t believe I missed it.

Michael Kors 7,000 sq ft, two-storey store in Paris is the largest in his 175-shop chain around the world. The store features the full collection of accessories and apparel, from MICHAEL Michael Kors to KORS to Collection pieces. The store is very spacious and is decorated in luminous white, glass and mirrors, with zebra-skin rugs on the floors, and black and white blow-up photographs.

The moment I entered the store I didn’t want to leave, it was so bright and at the same time cozy, and everyone who worked there was so friendly and helpful. For a moment I thought I could stay there and work as a shop assistant, so that I would never have to leave this place.

I’ve spent what felt like forever trying on things and walking around the store, taking pictures and chatting to the staff. I really enjoyed my time and didn’t leave barehanded. I have found some really cool yellow ballerina flats, which matched my trench coat just perfectly.

I bought a handbag which now is my the most favorite one and some other bits and pieces. Also, as an amazing surprise gift from the store, I received this cool bag with the signed card from Michael Kors. This bag will be very useful when I will start my beach season here in Marbella.

So, I was leaving Michael Kors store with two huge bags and a smile on my face. Shopping can really lift your spirits high.

Oh, and this picture is made especially for the girls, just look how handsome guys at the Michael Kors store in Paris are

So, girls, when you will plan your next visit to Paris, don’t forget to add Michael Kors store to your list of “Must See” things, you will love it there.

Yours,

Rich Girl

Rich Girl Attends Antibes Yacht Show 2011

I have just returned from my trip to French Riviera where I was lucky to spend one week on Antibes Yacht Show 2011.

Antibes Yacht Show is the first major yacht show of the season and is held in the port of Vauban, which is the largest port in Europe and this year there were 36 superyachts on display. This was my first time on the Antibes Yacht Show and I loved it. The show was wonderful, very well organized, a lot of amazing yachts and boats to look at as well as impressive list of participating companies.

For me this show was all about champagne and rose wine and after parties. Well, life is beautiful when you are in the yachting industry. My days started and ended with champagne with hors d’œuvre in different places through out the show and I can’t say I didn’t like it. Although, after consuming so much of wine I was just drinking water in a plane on my way back home.

So, going to yacht shows is always so much fun, you meet interesting people whether it is the owner of the yacht or it’s captain. Oh, this reminds me that I still haven’t told you about my trip to Monaco Boat Show 2010, where I bumped into mister Abramovich. Please remind me to tell you about Monaco next time, I have some really interesting and intriguing memories to share.

I have met some nice and interesting people during Antibes Yacht Show 2011 as well. For, example, Maik van Zoggel the director of the Dutch company – YachtsXL. The company makes amazing videos of yachts, boats and everything which falls into this category. Good quality videos of a yacht is a great way of advertising it for potential buyers or people interested in charter.

I have spent some time on the YachtsXL stand, talked to a lot of interesting people, laughed, enjoyed some sushi and great rose wine. Guys at YachtsXL are very friendly and professional, so the next time you will need a video of your yacht or company contact them first. They are great!

The other stand I want to point out from the Antibes Yacht Show 2011 is the one by Corkers Fine Wines & Provisions. The guys on the stand were very generous, they offered numerous tastings for their exquisite white and rose wines as well as provided some other stands with free bottles. This company is a specialist supplier to the yachting industry with over 30 years experience, has extensive range of world class wines and highly competitive prices.

Every evening there was live music and drinks at a “Crew Lounge”, organized by the Bluewater. This lounge was packed with people every evening and was a great place to make new contacts in a relaxed atmosphere.

One of the most busiest stands during the show was Dovaston Crew – a world leader in the placement of professional crew. Dovaston Crew has office in Antibes and one night they organized drinks there.

So many people wanted to come for a drink, that they couldn’t even fit inside. Thankfully the weather was amazing and there was a happy crowd outside the office.

The other busy stand was Lloyds TSB International, very friendly team of professionals was helping crew members to open their offshore international bank accounts.

There were also other parties, like barbeque for the crew, cocktail party for the exhibitors, Captains’ Dinner and other. As I told you, it was really hard to stay focused and sober

If you ask me what yacht did I like the most during my time on the show, I would definitely say – Dilbar! It looks just the way I want my yacht to look one day. I haven’t been inside that yacht yet, because the yacht was not among the show participants, but I bet it is as grand inside as it looks from the outside.

So, Antibes Yacht Show 2011 was an amazing event, time flied so fast. At first, when I was just going there I thought what am I going to do for almost a week on a show, but it turned out that every day was filled with different and exciting things to do and people to meet.

The last thing I want to tell you, rich girls, about Yacht Shows is that yachting industry is a man’s world. And it means that if you are still single and planning to find the man of your dreams preferably with the yacht, you need to hurry up and order tickets to the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show 2011 which will be in the end of September. Also, if you still haven’t decided what career path to take, I would suggest you look into possibility of being a stewardess on a yacht. It’s fun, you live and eat on a yacht, you hang around cool people and you can save lots of money, because the salary is good and you can only spend it on your shopping while on shore, how cool is that?!

If you decide to try your chances as a stewardess then I suggest you turn to Bluewater for training first and after that Dovaston Crew will help you find the perfect yacht to work for.

Have you ever been to a yacht show before? What do you think about it? How you choose your next yacht for charter?

If you have any questions, I would love to hear back form you! Let’s have a conversation in the comments below.

Delicious CupCakes in Marbella

Anyone who know me pretty well will tell you that I am such a sweet tooth. It is killing my looks and my perfect teeth, but I can’t help it. I love any kind of deserts, cakes, macarons, pastries, candies, ice-cream and cupcakes. My experience in tasting all kinds of sweet food have made me an expert – very picky and hard to please. So, when I needed to decide on what kind of cake and where to order it for my birthday I conducted quite a research.

I wanted something special, which would “wow” my guests, so I decided on colourful cupcakes. There are a few companies here in Costa del Sol, specializing on cupcakes, but after approaching them all I made up my mind to order from CakeMarbella.com And not because I tried their cupcakes, but because of the exceptional service and friendly approach I experienced.

In the end I have ordered 36 cupcakes of three different flavours – red velvet, chocolate and carrot cake, and colours – pink, yellow and white. They looked absolutely fabulous in the basket, but when I displayed them on the tower – it became the main attraction of the evening. And the little ones adored them.

I was absolutely satisfied with cupcakes and the effect they made on my guests. Not only they tasted really delicious, on the next day my friends were calling me asking if there were still something left from the party, but they also looked fantastic, especially the ones with custom made little stars, which I ordered on purpose, ’cause I am a Star jk.

If you live in Costa del Sol and you plan to have any kind of party, I would recommend you turn to CakeMarbella.com and everything will go smoothly. You will be able to choose from the range of flavours and colours, as well as personalized graphics to decorate your cupcakes and on the set date your cupcakes will be delivered straight to your venue, which is extremely convenient.

Now, I want to have another party!

Yours,

Rich Girl
