Sunday proved to be such a nice day off. I slept in, went shopping, had a late brunch at Hummus Place, then retreated back home to watch the NFL playoff games with friends. I enjoyed brunch so much that I snapped a few photos to share. Hummus Place is one of my favorite casual restaurants [...]

She gave out samples and it was really good. I’m not exactly sure how she made her recipe, but I wanted to try my own version. As usual, it [...]

I tried the South America Superfruit spread (made with Maqui berries, passionfruits, red grapes, and morello cherries) and the Superfruit Just Fruit spread (made with red grapes, morello cherries, açai [...]

My favorite alcoholic drink is fresh grapefruit juice with silver tequila and a slice of lime. Slurp! If you love [...]

I came down with a little cold the past few days. Ugh. As soon as I got back to NY it hit me hard. At the end of my FL vacation, I was running around between different families, traveling, and then flying back to a drastically different climate. But, after a few days of rest [...]

I’m spending my last night in Florida, and I have to say, I’m really gonna miss this weather! It has been beautiful in the 60s and 70s and I’ve been working on my laptop at my Mom’s looking out on a quiet lake with the windows open. It will be hard to get used to [...]

Happy new year! Wishing you lots of success and love in 2011. I can’t believe how fast the last year went by. December 29th was my one-year anniversary in New York City! It was definitely challenging to move to Manhattan, but I made it through, met lots of new friends, and I feel so grateful. [...]
