Mark Zuckerberg had a busy week! Facebook went public (with Mark now worth more than $19 Billion!) and just today he married his long time girlfriend Priscilla Chan. It was a surprise wedding for the approximate 100 close family and friends that were invited. Guests thought they were attending Priscilla’s graduation party but instead witnessed Mark and Priscilla finally tie the knot after 9 years. Congrats to the happy couple!

Right now I am completely hooked on frozen yogurt. Not exactly sure why, but I see the self-serve dispensers and the miles of toppings and I simply have to stop. So, when I saw Marla and Eric’s engagement session, I had to sit back in admiration. They clearly know how to multitask! Why just get your picture taken when you can get your picture taken eating delicious frozen yogurt? While you check out this adorable session by Ben Q. Photography, I am going to go cover some vanilla in rainbow sprinkles and peanut butter chips. Everybody wins.

Kicking its delicate French-pastel counterpart to the curb, each bite-sized meringue cookie (inspired by the rising neon fashion trend and Judith Leiber’s iconic studded clutches) packs a bold punch with super-hot color and a spiky shell texture — the perfect pop of color for a summer soirée.
Find these pretties at one of The Glazier Group‘s properties at Westminster Hotel, Bridgewaters or Twenty Four Fifth.
