    The only ones that made it…

    I have to say, I was pretty bummed when I couldn’t really take pics of all the beautiful people at the What Women Want: Wine, Dine and DATE in a Dress SATC Edition- SJP meets YYZ *whew mouthful!* LOL
    These were the only ones I was able to take… 🙂

    oh the GOODIES!
    the brownies…

    Miss Binki Brown of Patent Mag!

    I got a video too, but you gotta go on my youtube for that!
    That’s it 🙁 *tear*

    Meat vs. Veggies

    Lately, I’ve been feeling a little weird about eating meat, as a result I’ve been buying tonnes of vegetables and secretly experimenting with vegetarian recipes (ssshhhhh :)). Make no mistake I love meat… or at least I think I do. 

    (Because I work with food, I figured I may as well take a deeper look into the health as well as spiritual benefits of vegetariansism/veganism, and come up with some delicious ways to cook them so that they are appealing to myself and the people I’m cooking for )

    Would you rather have this…
    over…

    Before the idea of being a vegetarian or vegan was B-O-R-I-N-G to me, but in my journey to treat myself/my body better and become a better person; I’ve been  reading a lot of books, articles etc and realized one common factor behind why people choose to be vegetariain or vegan. 
    The killing innocent and helpless animals to satisfy our culinary desires. 

    this? WHY?

    The one thing that really got me, and I read this in an article on vegetarianism and spirituality; is that, an animal experiences fear, anxiety and pain before and during the slaughter, and that fear, anxiety and pain are transfered to you when you consume this meat. What do you think?
    Ever since reading that, I’ve been incorporating more greens and grains into my diet, and gradually eating less meat. Will I stop completely? Who knows, but all I know is that I can’t stop thinking about what if the tables were turned? We wouldn’t appreciate that shit… but that’s just me 🙂 What do you think?
    “…killing innocent and helpless animals for the purpose of filling ones stomach is a bad karma with harmful consequences…”

    All my vegetarians, tell me about why you choose not to eat animals (meat)?

    Top 10 List: How to Build 

    a Beauty Brand

    skinnovator for the past 22 years, Cristina Carlino has been the brains behind the Philosophy beauty brand since its inception. An accomplished author, inventor of the “micropeel,” and the creator of a medical skincare company, BioMedic, Carlino noticed a gap between the quality of the skincare offered in doctor’s offices versus what was sold in department stores. In order to fill the void, she leveraged BioMedics research and technology into a more affordable and cool cosmetics, health, and wellness line that could be enjoyed by all. And so she launched Philosophy in 1996 and took the beauty scene by storm. Touted for fast and effective do-it-yourself vitamin C peels, nearly edible food-inspired body washes, natural-looking makeup, and clean-smelling fragrances, Carlino’s revolutionary formulations have proven to be a successful marriage of science and fun.

    Baby Got a BRAND NEW BACK!

    I remember the first day I got my red curve, as petty as it may seem I was really friggin excited; firstly because who doesn’t love getting a new phone, and secondly because it was red, and that happens to be one of my favorite colors! I digress, I also remember the day everything with my once perfect curve, started going down hill!

    I have to try my BEST to keep this badboy clean!

    First, that annoying hourglass spinning thing that comes on for NO REASON whatsoever!
    THEN, it started taking FOREVER to turn back on after a battery pull.
    It would “ring” without actually ringing!
    One day I put it down on my desk, and my screen cracked… Yes, I sat there staring at it, like WHAT THE HELL?!

    WTH??!

    THEN, one day I had a back to my phone the next it was gone. I don’t know how or when, all I know is that I dropped my phone, searched EVERYWHERE, but never saw it again.

    we call this one PO’-Berry!

    Don’t get me started on the trackball issues, I almost killed this phone a number of times!
    But as they say, joy comes in the morning, and it’s about time!

    Now I can answer the phone and do whatever the f**k it is I need to do without feeling so damn ashamed! Plus I’m LOVING this trackpad ish! 
    Baby Got a Brand New Back y’all!
    *kisses*

    HCB #25: Um… Na’an? YUM!

    Summer comes around and I can’t help but love using my hands when eating my food… I think it’s kinda hot to watch a man or woman eat food with their hands, sauces dripping down their fingers and hands, and the almost frantic licking that comes from trying to keep the juices off their…clothes… oh yeah lol
    Yummy yummy yummy, I got Na’an in my tummy! LOL I’m silly sometimes 🙂
    Spicy chicken, steamed garlic bok choi and warm na’an… mmm
    Got my hands nice n dirty, and then clean again!
    Happy Cookin lovelies!
