I cannot believe I am on issue three of the annual That Girl At The Party Holiday Gift Guide! Having founded TGATP, one of NYC’s first true lifestyle blogs in 2009, I am now proud to present you with a quarterly digital magazine version of my content. As with my site, TGATP in its magazine format, is a primer on all the best that life has to offer. You will only find the finest in beauty, fashion, travel, tech and entertainment in my pages.

Joy To Th Worl

This issue, is all about the holidays and specially curated from the hundreds of pitches I received this year. We have had such a crazy year that I wanted to make extra sure that we have a very special holiday season. So I turbocharged this issue with tons of gift ideas that you can have sent right to your recipients’ homes and yummy recipes to make all season long. This month’s featured books are all about race in America to help us start healing the 401-year racial inequities that are a stain on our great country. There are plenty of winter beauty ideas with a spotlight on products from Tractenberg PR’s beauty preview and a skincare feature from Ekin Ozlen of Keracell. Since the theaters are still closed, this month’s movie guide is my favorite of what is streaming. This year, and every year, you will find everything you need for a happy and blessed holiday season.

The Trees


I usually take my tree down the day after Valentine’s Day. But with the death of Kobe and Gigi Bryant in late January, the horrors of both having Covid_19 and watching the incompetent White House response that has allowed it to kill 311k Americans and counting, the numerous murders of Black Americans at the hands of the police and a reign of terror and now attempted coup and sedition from the fortunately, outgoing occupant of our White House and the GOP, I needed that little bit of Joy all year. So I left my tree up! All year! Here are this year’s TGATP fav Christmas trees to bring Joy

to you and your household!

That Girl At The Party Reading List To create positive change and stand in solitary with Black Americans, you need a true understanding of America’s history and the way in which racism was built into the foundation of our country. Thus this year’s, book gifting list features the best books on race in America.

(Prices are for your Amazon Kindle.)


tgatp|books|tech

Amazon Kindle As a lifelong avid reader and book lover, the Kindle is my favorite invention of all-time! I stay up-to-date by trading them in as the new ones come out.




The latest is waterproof and has 3x the storage at 32GB. It is the thinnest, lightest Kindle Paperwhite yet—with a flush-front design and 300 ppi glarefree display that reads like real paper even in bright sunlight.


Long Time Coming Reckoning With Race In America by Dr. Michael Eric Dyson I have known Michael Eric Dyson for over 20 years and he has long been one of my favorite scholars and people. His newest work is a passionate call to America to finally reckon with race and start the journey to redemption.

This e-book edition includes nine illustrations of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Emmett Till, among other victims of racial violence, by artist Everett Dyson.

Books Of The Month


tgatp|books

We Are Called To Be A Movement by Reverend William Barber It's time for everyone, who cares about the state of our nation, to heed the call and join forces to redeem the soul of America. It's time to come together and renounce the politics of rejection, division, and greed. It's time to lift up the common good, move up to higher ground, and revive the heart of democracy.




In a single, rousing sermon, the celebrated Reverend William J. Barber II of the Poor People’s Campaign makes an impassioned argument whose message could not be clearer: It's time for change, and the time needs you.

Mindful Breathing Necklace $149 - $495

We can all use a little help with our breathing, especially through these stressful times. Wear this special necklace as a reminder to take a minute to breath throughout the day. Inspired by a conversation with a flute-maker, who taught them about ancient Japanese monks and their breathing techniques, Todd and Vanessa Steinberg created a pendant that encourages slow, conscious breathing. Simply exhale through the pendant (don't worry, it's not a whistle), and you'll soon find yourself in the midst of a mini meditation—your heart rate slows, toxins are said to be released, and you return to the present moment, where you belong.

tgatp|beauty spotlight

Ekin Ozlen a skincare and antiaging expert, and the founder and owner of the skin and haircare brand Keracell, offers her tips for maintaining healthy skin this winter.


Nevertheless, whether we’re opposite our loved ones at the dinner table, or spending time with friends through a screen, we still want to be able to look and feel good for the most wonderful time of the year.The festive season brings many opportunities to eat, drink and indulge (and rightly so), but this can affect the appearance of our skin at a time when we want that holiday glow. But there are a few very simple steps you can follow to make sure you don’t deprive yourself of the things you love this Christmas.

tgatp|beauty

The holiday season is usually a time filled with dozens of catch ups, family dinners, office parties and multiple festive gatherings. This year, things are a little different, and those precious times with family and friends aren’t a guarantee as the pandemic is keeping us further apart than ever.


Cleanse regularly. Unless you work in a city with a lot of pollution, there’s no way for us to see with the naked eye exactly just how much grime and dirt builds up on our faces over the course of the day – but have confidence that it is not pretty under a microscope. Whether or not you feel like your face is clean, it is essential that you cleanse regularly with a product that works best for your skin. This may be with micellar water, a foam wash, cleansing cream or even gel. Cleansing your skin once a day if you have sensitive skin, and twice if you have oily skin, will prevent buildups of grime and dirt and subsequent breakouts.

tgatp|beauty


Exfoliate. The benefits of regular exfoliation are extensive, and best of all, the results can be instantaneous. If you’ve been overdue for a good exfoliation, removing that dead layer of skin is incredibly satisfying, and will leave you glowing instantly. Proper exfoliation will remove dead skin cells to prevent clogged pores, which can lead to acne. In addition, exfoliating will allow the products you do use on your skin to penetrate more deeply. Once or twice a week should do it – it’s effectively like starting fresh

Drink water, and lots of it!

If you’re a regular water drinker, you’ve probably convinced yourself that it’s the solution to all your problems. Tired? Drink water. Hungry? Drink water? Headache? Drink water. Want to lose weight? Drink water. But it really is so essential in

tgatp|beauty


tgatp|beauty

maintaining healthy skin, and shouldn’t be underestimated in making sure everything is working correctly. Drinking at least two liters of water a day (three if you really want to reap the benefits) will flush out toxins to prevent breakouts and will ensure that skin continues to glow. The extra trips to the bathroom are worth it, I swear.

Wear sunscreen.

Surprisingly, it’s only been somewhat recently that people have started to really understand the importance of applying sunscreen daily. Whether you apply actual sunscreen, or a product with SPF in it, this is absolutely crucial in slowing down the anti-aging process and


protecting your skin from sun damage. Remember that even on cloudy winter walks or holiday shopping outdoors, UV rays are still hitting your face. Be strict with this and your skin will be glowing well beyond the holiday season.

Invest in your skin. The products you put on your face are as important as the food you put into your body. You don’t want to consume food with lots of artificial additives and preservatives, so in the same way, you shouldn’t be cutting corners when it comes to skincare. By spending more on products that will offer more benefits to your skin and are made with the very best ingredients, you will see continuously good results.

tgatp|beauty


Have a routine and stick to it. Your skin care routine doesn’t need to be an extensive 20 steps that puts you off before you’ve even started it. A simple three step regimen will suffice. In the morning: cleanse, serum, moisturize with sunscreen. In the evening: cleanse, serum, moisturize. Add exfoliation once a week and you’ll be glowing every day. An eye cream is a bonus as well.

Finding a routine that works for you is the most important thing, and it takes a bit of trial and error before you find something that’s right for you. I apply the Keracell CBD Enzyme Exfoliating Scrub and leave it on my skin to allow the enzymatic action to go to work to slough off all those

tgatp|beauty


tgatp|beauty

dead skin cells to really get that holiday glow. Then I rinse it off gently & manually in circular motions. I follow that up with Keracell AntiAging Hydrating Mist before applying my Keracell anti aging serum. If I’m prepping my skin for the next day I apply the Keracell CBD Overnight Sleeping Beauty Mask, which leaves my skin plump and hydrated AND helps me get a good night's sleep.

Once you find a routine that works for you, it will become as normal as brushing your teeth.

Naomi’s Corn Pudding Serves 4 to 6




My beloved late Mom was renowned for her corn pudding. Friends and family asked her to make it for every special occasion. In remembrance of her, here is her secret recipe. I never have a holiday meal without it. I run this recipe every year in memory of Mama.

• 1. 2 cans Del Monte Creamed Corn • 2. 4 eggs • 3. Stick of Butter • 4. 5 TBSP Evaporated Milk

• 5 Optional: Red pepper flakes, brown sugar

tgatp|food


DIRE CTIO NS The secret to success with this recipe is to vigorously whisk the eggs before blending with the creamed corn. My Mama swore by Del Monte but you can use any creamed corn you prefer. She also added sugar. However, I find the corn naturally sweet enough. I sometimes add hot pepper flakes for a spicy kick • 1. Vigorously whisk eggs with the condensed milk. • 2. Blend in the creamed corn and place in a butter coated glass pan. • 3. Top with dots of butter to ensure browning of the top.

DIRE CTIO NS

I will be trying out this recipe to include with my vegan holiday meals. • 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. • 2. Place the sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan filled with cool water and salt. The water should be an inch or two above the potatoes. Place on the stovetop over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and let cook until potatoes are fork tender. Strain and discard water. Place the potatoes in a bowl and smash with a potato masher, fork or a ricer. I usually just use a fork.

• 3. In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter. Season with salt and pepper. Add to smashed potatoes along with orange zest and cinnamon and stir well to combine, Taste. Season with additional salt and pepper, as needed.

• 5. Place the sweet potato mash in a casserole dish and sprinkle with Pro-Chi Lentil Crunch Tahini Clusters and scatter marshmallows over top. (This can be done in advance. However, if you are making it in advance reserve adding the Pro-Chi topping until just before baking to maintain its crispness.) • 6. Place casserole dish in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes until the marshmallows are golden. Avoid broiling so as not to burn the lentils.

• 7. Remove from oven and enjoy this fantastic sweet potato casserole recipe from Kim Foods!

Diablo Verde Creamy Cilantro Sauce $7.00

This sauce is delicious on everything and the company gives back too! Once upon a time there was a crazy and kind kid named Luke, who absolutely loved Rhinos so much that he wanted to save them from poaching and extinction. Luke would even ask his friends to bring donations to his birthday parties in lieu of gifts. His mom, Traci, who was famous for her creamy cilantro sauce, had a bright idea; "Let's start selling Diablo Verde to raise even more money to save Rhinos!” Then his brothers, Ayden and George, joined in to fulfill the family's vision of making the world better through entrepreneurship.

By Kenneth Horwitz $40

While Deep Flavors is a kosher style cookbook, the recipes are eclectic. From Tex/Mex to Cajun Jewish to soul food to French, there are recipes for every palate. The Mushroom Barley Soup recipe on the preceding pages is derived from a soup that Kenneth’s grandmother and Mom made, strongly influenced from ingredients available in Western Russia in the late 1800s.

Deep Flavors

Mushroom Barley Soup




Variants of mushroom/barley soup (although rarely as good as homemade) are served in many Jewish delicatessens and, as with other recipes in Deep Flavors, this recipe is intended to be made in a kosher kitchen but is equally attractive to the non-Jewish or vegetarian/vegan cook.


tgatp|food

INGRIEDIENTS

3 carrots, roughly chopped 1–1½ yellow or sweet onions, chopped 2–3 celery stalks, diced 1–2 cloves garlic, diced 2 tablespoons oil (canola or similar unflavored oil), mixed use 2 ounces dried porcini, trumpet, and/or chanterelle mushrooms 1 pound of fresh sliced cremini or white button mushrooms 2–3 quarts stock: beef, chicken, turkey, or vegetable as appropriate 1 teaspoon dried thyme 2–3 bay leaves 2 cups medium pearl barley 2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste 1 potato, diced (optional) 1 cup dried split peas (optional) 1 cup lentils (optional)


DIRE CTIO NS

• 1. Make your favorite stock whether veggie, chicken, turkey or beef. • 2. For a 6-quart saucepan, sauté the fresh mushrooms in the oil until the liquid is rendered and evaporates with the mushrooms browned. Add the carrots, 1 to 1½ onions, 2 or 3 stalks of celery, and 1 or 2 cloves of garlic, all finely diced. Sweat but do not brown the vegetables. • 3. Add stock and mushroom-reconstituting liquid to fully cover the sautéed mushrooms and vegetables, being careful to not overfill the pot. Remember that like rice, each cup of barley will absorb 2 to 3 cups of liquid. Add the chopped reconstituted mushrooms, thyme, and bay leaves.

• 4. Cook the soup for at least 1 hour before adding the barley for another hour

tgatp|food


DIRE CTIO NS (cont.)

• 5. Add 1½ to 2 cups of barley. Add a teaspoon of kosher salt for each cup of barley, plus more to taste as needed (remembering the other ingredients that need some salt). The barley takes at least 1 hour to cook. • 6. Before serving you will have to season the soups with additional salt and pepper, and you may have to adjust the salt because barley and potatoes will absorb a huge amount of salt. However, be careful not to oversalt. Add water if necessary. • 7. Serve with garlic bread.

Enjoy!

Streaming & On Demand Now







As Covid_19 continues to rage, the movie theaters in most states are not yet re-opened and press screenings are all cancelled. So it has been harder to cover films. That said, I have been sent some to cover and also have been binge watching like the movie and TV addict that I am! So this issue, I am covering the best bingeworthy shows and good films currently streaming that you may have missed.


TGATP Top Binge-worthy Shows Little Fires Everywhere Features stellar, raw performances from Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington with nuanced story lines on race, motherhood and wealth in America. The story is incredible and so believable it blew me away.

The Outsider

Stephen King at his best. The was so creepy that I actually got goosebumps at different points! And the ending….brrrrrr. I am very disappointed that this series was not greenlit for a second season by HBO. Because I would really love to see this story continue.

The Undoing

A twisty nail biter, this miniseries had excellent performances from every single cast member, especially Noma Dumezweni, as a no-nonsense defense attorney. It kept me guessing till the end although the ending was a big letdown that tarnished the rest of the series. Nicole Kidman’s hairdresser deserves an Emmy as her curls never looked better.


I binged watched all four seasons over the course of two weeks. While every season was amazing, for me the second one was the best followed by the first, then the fourth. Since each season is a completely new story, you can watch them in any order. Kirsten Dunst is incredible in season two and both Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman are stand outs in season one.

A Teacher

Kate Mara is perfectly cast as a high-school teacher, who has a predatory sexual relationship with her student. The series is hard to watch as it deals with grooming and molestation. However, it is handled with sensitivity. I also like that it plays against the misconception that boys can’t be the victims of female pedophiles.

Fargo


Freaky “Freaky” is cult classic “Freaky Friday” remade as a horror movie. Vince Vaughn plays a middle-aged serial killer stuck in a teenage girl’s body. Kathryn Newton shines in the duel role of the teenager and the serial killer. This is sheer genius - a comedy remake in a whole different genre.

News Of The World

Based on the bestselling novel, Tom Hanks is his usual flawless self, as Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd in this magical holiday cinematic delight. The story centers on Kidd rescuing a young girl and returning her home. A “True Grit” for our generation, it’s amazingly Hank’s first western and so heartwarming it is an instant classic.

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom

One of the saddest events of 2020 was to, not only lose Chadwick Boseman, but to find out that he had been working through all of his films, while likely in great pain, from cancer. With Oscar-worthy takes from Viola and Chadwick, this is the film to see this Christmas.


4 tips to clear your mind, heal your body and uplift your spirit:

Meditate: I have always meditated. But before, I would fall off sometimes for months. Now I make sure I never miss a morning session to ensure I am grounded for the day ahead.

Tune Out: The news has gone mad with a clearly insane President claiming he won an election that he lost in a landslide and loonies coming out of the woodwork with baseless lawsuits. I have been tuning out to save my sanity.

Relax: Even if you can only add a couple minutes to the end of your shower each day, find a way to give yourself some moments to relax every day. Make the smallest things a celebration.

Do Good: With the pandemic raging, there are so many people in need that, anything you can do, will help. You can even work from home




on various causes.




4 Tips To Clear And Heal From 2020

With Covid_19 both sickening and killing us and the resulting financial setbacks coupled with numerous black people murdered by the police and a psychotic narcissist residing in our White House, who is refusing to accept a landslide defeat, this year has been the worst year of my Life and I am sure it has been equally hard for millions of others.
