A Little Privacy, Please
You’re traveling on business, plugging away on your
laptop, when you feel it. Someone’s watching. The person
tries to look inconspicuous, but you know every word you
type is being read: Sales … were ... up … in … Q3 … 2006.
Whether you’re working diligently on a confidential business plan or playing an intense game of solitaire while
traveling with your boss, you want to keep your screen
hidden from the wandering eye. Now you can, with
privacy filters from 3M. Just put one over your screen and
the people around you won’t be able to see what you’re
doing. ($40–$150, 3Mprivacyfilter.com)
PARK HYATT
Dining on High
Why would you take an elevator
19 floors to Philadelphia’s loftiest
restaurant and not request a table
by the windows? Well, you might
happily forgo the view at Nineteen,
the stylish new American brasserie
in the Park Hyatt at The Bellevue at
Broad and Walnut streets, if you had
sensitive business to conduct. Or a
wedding anniversary or other special
occasion to celebrate.
The restaurant’s stunning Wine
Room, a secluded, 10-by-12-foot
alcove just off the main dining room,
offers a private nook with a circular
table for up to six, for enjoying the
restaurant’s raw bar offerings and
equally delectable fish entrees. Nineteen offers some three dozen wines
by the glass, but in this sheltered
aerie, flanked by attractively lit, floor-to-ceiling wine bottles on opposite
walls, the logical choice is to ask sommelier Jean-Marc Nolant to select a
perfect foil for the food—and make
a special occasion that much more
special. Call 215-790-1919 for information and reservations.
Juiced Up
Organic food isn’t just for hippies anymore. It’s now
available at nearly three-quarters of regular, everyday
grocery stores. So if you’re buying organic blueberries,
shouldn’t you be treating your skin—your largest, most
visible organ—to the same toxin-free kindness? Juice
Beauty’s products are packed with vitamins, phytonu-
trients and antioxidants because of their revolutionary,
patent-pending juice base.
All of the products—including
cleansers, toners, moisturizers,
lip balms—are certified organic
by USDA organic food guide-
lines. Juice Beauty products are
available at sephora.com and
juicebeauty.com.
The organics craze takes
root in the cosmetics
realm with a slew of
Juice Beauty products.
