The 7th Annual Mutzfest is happening on Sunday, January 27th 2019 {2-6PM} at the Elks Lodge in Hoboken — and we are SO. SO. EXCITED. Per usual.
If you’ve ever been to Mutzfest, you know that it’s an event you can’t miss in Hoboken. Many of the Italian delis in the area get together and cut cheese {literally} into cubes and slices and top it with everything from pepperoni to tomatoes to spices all for your enjoyment. From M & P Biacamano’s elaborate displays each year to Vito’s delicious sandwiches to Tony B’s mozzarella varieties, there are so many feelings that you’ll experience in your Mutzfest journey. To help you sum up your feelings, here are the seven stages of Mutzfest feelings, explained.
1. Pre-Mutz: Excitement
It starts with simple rumblings — you see the Facebook posts, you get a group text about Mutzfest, and you get your tickets {because it’s known to sell out}.
2. Waiting in Line: Impatience
It starts about two weeks out {like riiight now}— you realize Mutzfest is coming, and you CAN. NOT. WAIT. But then, you walk towards the Elks Lodge on Mutzfest Day, and see the line. It’s long, and you’re hungry. In fact you skipped lunch/brunch because you knew you’d get into Mutzfest and want to eat all the things. But you wait…and wait.
3. Walking In: Ecstatically Overwhelmed
Finally, you enter the building. Then, you weave your way through the crowd {unless you got there early — you overachiever, you}. And then you see it: CHEESE. Gooey, white, deliciously mushy mutz.
4. Visiting Tables of Mozzarella: Happiness
Pretty self-expanatory.
5. Halfway Through Mutzfest: Nausea
It starts off slowly. You’re eating, drinking, and breathing cheese in pure ecstasy. Add some wine and beer to the mix and it’s a recipe for disaster — like getting your head stuck in a container of cheese balls. It can happen if you put your mind to it.
6. On Your Way Home: Sleepiness
Drunk on cheese — it’s a thing. You may be so sleepy that you actually have to go home before the end of the fest. Womp womp.
7. Post-MutzFest: Nostalgia
Mutzfest ended faster than you can say Mozzarella, and it’s safe to say you’ll be dreaming of cheese til next January.

New Korean Skincare Medspa, Hello Skin, Opens in Hoboken
This article is sponsored by Hello Skin Medspa.
Korean beauty has become the holy grail of skincare and Hoboken is finally getting in on the action. Hello Skin Medspa, located at 129 Washington Street in Hoboken, is a luxury medspa that combines the best of Western and Korean beauty practices. From custom facials, tox + fillers, and laser hair removal to the Korean Titanium Lifting Treatment (more on that later) this spot is truly serving up a distinct and different menu of beauty services in town. Keep reading to learn more about Hello Skin Medspa, a Korean skincare medspa in Hoboken, New Jersey.
What’s on the Menu? (Pro-tip: try it all)
Hello Skin provides a wide range of spa treatments that address all sorts of needs — fine lines, acne, weight management, etc. The most highly coveted treatment available — and the most exclusive — is the Korean Titanium Lifting Treatment. Hello Skin is the only medspa on the East Coast to have this option available — it’s an advanced laser treatment that lifts, slims, and brightens the face + neck.
While the Titanium Lifting might be the most exclusive treatment, it’s certainly not the only one:
- Injectables: smooth out fine lines with neurotoxins or add volume and correct facial asymmetry with fillers with minimal downtime.
- Skin Treatments: lasers and photofacials to address sun damage, pigmentation, texture and uneven skin tone, along with RF micro needling to increase collagen and elastin production.
- Laser Hair Removal: the Titanium Laser uses an advanced technology called Ice Plus to cool the skin during a laser hair removal treatment. Packages for small, medium, large, and full areas are available, which includes 6 sessions and 2 free touch-up appointments.
- Facials: customizable facial options include dermaplaning, hydra-dermal treatments, Glo2 facials, deep pore facials, and more.
- PRP Treatment: works by using your own body’s healing power to treat aging skin, scars, and pigmentation of the skin to stimulate natural hair growth or rejuvenate collagen production.
- PDRN Treatment: popularized by Kim Kardashian, also called the Salmon Sperm Facial, Polynucleotides help rewind the skin's age.
- Semaglutide: reduce appetite, improve cravings, burn fat, and help to lose 2-4 pounds per week while boosting energy.
