Aside from my crazy baking attempts, I really do love to cook. I come from a long line of stellar chefs: my grandfather was a chef, my cousin is a chef, my nanny(my gramma), dad and mom are all amazing cooks. I watched my parents and nanny cook my entire life and I must say their passion was passed on. Every night dinner is on the table when my husband comes home from work. It’s been like that since we moved in together 2 years ago. When I was working full time, I always looked for recipes online that would…
Sobriety & Creativity: Do they go hand and hand?
0*WARNING WARNING* Mahhhm post ahead! Before I got pregnant, I guess I would classify myself as quite the lover of alcohol. I’ve been drinking consecutively for a good 10 years. Alcohol was my buddy. We did a lot together. Watched T.V, football games, alcohol even accompanied me to parties and even got me through some bad times. The day I found out I was pregnant, all I wanted was a stiff dirty martini. We kept my pregnancy a secret till I went to the doctors to confirm there was a tiny kidney bean floating around in my belly. When ever…
Humpday Shopping
0My favorite day of the week. I’m kinda obsessed with buying accessories. Earrings, bracelets, rings, bangles, necklaces…ahh pure bliss. Every time I go to the mall I buy a new accessory to add to my collection. The entire wall in my closeet is covered with all my accessories-my husband thinks I have major problems. Little does he know….ha! I am all about the deals(as you know) and my fave store is Forever21 (again, as you know) so I go nuts in the jewelry/accessory section of that store. They have awesome trendy jewelry for half the price of department stores. Yeah yeah yeah,…
Pampering: A Must.
0No, not diapering your child. Pampering yourself, duh! Every woman – single, married, mom or not – should be pampered AT LEAST once a month, if not more. Whether it be by their husbands/boyfriends on a date night, getting a facial or massage, or buying a new outfit, taking a little time to yourself will do wonders. My monthly battery-recharging is a mani/pedi. I adore my alone time at the salon. Don’t get me wrong, I do shop to recharge too, but this is the most relaxing I do for 2 straight hours in the middle of the day. I…
Jillian Michaels is a skank.
0She is. A dirty, filthy, stinking, ripped, bad ass hoe. 2 weeks ago I started her 20 minute ’30 Day Shred 1′ workout DVD. Mind you, I haven’t worked out in over a year and a half. How bad could 20 minutes be, right? WRONG! I could not walk for 6 days after that. That bitch killed me!! Before I got pregnant, I would work out almost every day, run at least 3 miles a day and do some type of strength training, so I figured 20 minutes would be cake. I was sadly mistaken. I literally could not lift…
