The first time I heard The xx on NPR I fell in love. I went ahead and downloaded the album right away. My boyfriend was very enamored with the band as well. So for Christmas this year I decided to give him tickets to see them (he kind of hinted that he wanted to go). The show was this passed Tue. February 5 and they did not disappoint. The show opened with a...

I signed up for eMeal’s plans last year through a deal site. I really needed help with varying my household dinner menus; basically my family was sick of eating the same 10 meals over and over.  Since I have a busy lifestyle, as does everyone, I needed easy and fast recipes. I’m also easily frustrated with cooking and can get discouraged quickly. eMeals proved to be...

When I moved to Boca Raton about four years ago from Miami, I was hesitant.  Boca Raton has a reputation for being boring and old. So for the sake of being with my love and being a bit over city life, I welcomed the change.  I’d spent some time in Boca so I kind of knew what I was getting myself into. Yes, Boca is quiet and lacks big city culture but it is also safe...

October’s Wynwood Art Walk was not my most memorable.  Getting there late, valet parking was full as were the streets. It’s really mad on the streets during art walk and if you’re not prepared well it’s just annoying. Why does everything good turn bad eventually? Put simply, when the general populous finds out there is something good happening the droves of people...

I’m always looking to try new, healthy and easy recipes. I usually find them on the internet or at grocery stores. I collect them actually and sometimes it takes me a while to actually act on making the recipe. Today I tried a recipe for a smoothie I got at Whole Foods. The ingredients are all rather healthy and contain no milk products. The recipe yielded a nutty,...

There’s nothing like a weekend where you get to do a little of everything: spend time with friends and family, have some one on one time with your huny and maybe listen to some good music or see some amazing art. That’s what really makes a good weekend for me, just getting to do a little of everything mixed in with some rest makes it perfect. This past weekend was...

Have you ever been ready to work out but you miss your class at the gym, it’s too hot outside to ride your bike or the gym at your community kind of sucks. Well did you know that Xfinity cable TV offers free on demand workout videos? I know it sounds like one may not get a good workout out of such videos or its just boring to work out at home.  These are all...

Sometimes it’s really hard to find something fun to do with kids while at home. Especially as we come to the end of summer since we have exhausted most every place and activity. So creativity is key!  Today we actually did something really fun, upon my daughter’s suggestion we had an at home spa day. Ours was more like a spa moment since we only spent a couple...

I’d visited New York City several times before but never with child, so I had done the fancy dinners, night clubs and shopping yet never bothered to see any of the tourist sights.  Since I was traveling with my nine year old I eagerly Googled in order to compile a list of “things to do” with kids in NYC, especially in the evenings. Sites like Time Out NY for...
