Vita-Mix In My Kitchen

Sat, 13 Mar 2010 00:45:43 +0000

I’m now a proud owner of the much coveted Vita-mix machine. After that foul-up with the delivery via UPS as recounted on my preceding post, I can now put that behind me and I’m now enjoying the kind of performance that only Vita-mix can deliver. Indeed, healthy eating is easy and —delicious! I can now [...]

What’s Up With The Brown?

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 07:21:13 +0000

I have been anticipating the arrival of Mr. Brown all day yesterday.

No, he is not the typical guy with a Brown for his last name. I’m referring to the trusty UPS guy that services our area. I trust this service so much that whenever I order anything online, I won’t place my order if [...]

Have We Seen The Last Of Winter?

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:00:59 +0000

It’s only the third day of March, and I can’t wait for Spring temps to finally hit our area. While yesterday’s weather felt like early Spring, the wind at the end of the day spoiled my imagination.

Will there be more of these images in the days to come?

It is my utmost hope that we are [...]

The Weather ‘Rules’ My Life

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of AccuWeather. All opinions are 100% mine.

Born and raised in a tropical country, I really didn’t pay attention much to the weather forecast. My mind has always been programmed to deal with occasional rain on some days, and inclement weather during the rainy season. For [...]

Sclerotherapy

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 08:15:59 +0000

Woodmere on Long Island has been my new playground since two Thursdays ago. No, I don’t go there to have fun, I’m going for the sake of vanity, and I need to go there every two weeks.

Before you run into conclusion, let me say that it’s not the scalpel and stitching type of procedure that [...]

Orange Man

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 07:04:03 +0000

What is your favorite color?

We seem to have our own fave color. For me, I tend to gravitate towards green. Not that I always pick green colored clothing or accessories, but the vibrant green color looks refreshing to me.

My husband is a different story, altogether. He loves ORANGE. And his love for this color is [...]

Grounded!

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 04:26:21 +0000

I’m grounded not by choice but by force! And it is highly likely that this will be through Saturday. New York is for the nth time getting clobbered with snow, and this time it is the heavy wet kind of snow. Meteorologists described this storm - a very powerful but unconventional storm with snow, rain [...]
