Hello Hydration Sidebar
The Station Hoboken

IG Handles: @howdoyouwearthat + @caitlynwarakomski

Giveaway Gift and Value: $500 HDYWT gift card

Zap Fitness

Basics are crucial to any wardrobe, but sometimes, they’re the most difficult pieces to shop for. Lucky for Hudson County locals, this Jersey City-based online shop has the cutest (and comfiest) handmade sets (+ its new oversized tees). HOW DO YOU WEAR THAT is the brainchild of local resident Caitlyn Warakomski, a fashion blogger since 2015 and a designer since 2020. We’ve teamed up with Caitlyn to gift one lucky HG reader a $500 HDYWT gift card, just in time for the release of her new sweatset collection. The question will soon be: how do you wear all of that?

Honey Medspa | 640 Park Avenue, Hoboken

IG Handle: @Honey_medspa

Giveaway Gift + Value: Package of 3 Microneedling sessions

We can’t promise any snow this season, but scientists (us) are predicting unprecedented levels of glow in your skin. Honey Medspa, a locally-owned medspa that opened in Hoboken this year, is treating the winner to a package of three microneedling sessions. If you’ve never tried microneedling, it’s not as scary as it sounds: it’s a minimally invasive skin treatment that helps the skin repair itself. The team at Honey Medspa is so knowledgeable and attentive, so you’ll feel right at home. Let it glow, let it glow, let it glow.

Otok Bakery | 506 Grand Street, Hoboken

IG Handle: @bakedbyotok

Giveaway Gift + Value:  Four seats at Otok Bakery’s next dinner event on Wednesday, February 12th at 7PM ($700 value)

Did you know you can have dinner in one of Hoboken’s oldest bakeries? Earlier this year, when the owners of Schmitty’s took over Dom’s Bakery, the husband-and-wife team wanted to forge a new experience for Hoboken locals while honoring Dom’s legacy. Otok Bakery’s dinner events are just that: a private, four-course meal in the room where Dom’s famed coal-fired oven still stands (and is used to prepare the food). HG attended one of these dinners and loved it. Now one lucky reader + three friends can do the same.

Finding a caring physician who will listen + answer your questions about cosmetic medicine is crucial. Dr. Strell, who’s been practicing in Hoboken for over 20 years, is such an excellent listener. He and the team create customized treatment plans to help each patient look and feel their best. The new Sofwave technology is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that tightens skin and stimulates collagen (without using any needles). We’ve done it before and we’re kind of obsessed.

Its group fitness classes fuse aerobics, strength training, and flexibility — and are every bit as fun as they are challenging.
