I’m Going to @VillageVoice’s @ChoiceEats Tasting Event!
I love Fridays and I love weekends, but I really wouldn’t mind if it all just flew by and I was plopped down right in the middle of Tuesday. Why, you ask? Because Tuesday, March 13 is the Village Voice’s sixth annual “Choice Eats” event, which I am attending!
If you haven’t heard of “Choice Eats,” it’s a foodie’s ultimate paradise: a tasting event featuring 83 handpicked restaurants from all five boroughs, along with complimentary craft beer pairings, wine and liquor beverages.
In addition to tastings, guests will enjoy DJ sets by Andy Rourke of The Smiths, the legendary alt-rock band that materialized from the British indie music scene in the 1980s, and guest chef-celebrity, Ty-lor Boring, of Bravo’s hit show, Top Chef Texas. Ty-lor will host a demo for all VIP ticket-holders during the VIP hour from 5:30 – 6:30 PM.
VIP tickets have sold out, but a limited number of General Admission tickets are still available at choiceeats.villagevoice.com for $50 each. A complete list of participating restaurants and sponsors is also available on the event website.
Here are the deets on the event:
WHEN: Tuesday, March 13 from 6:30pm-9:30pm with a VIP-only preview from 5:30pm-6:30pm
WHERE: 69th Armory on Lexington Avenue @ 26th Street, NYCTweet me if you come to the event…@OAAinNYC!

Good Read
Skinny Chicks Eat Real Food is currently sitting in my Amazon shopping cart- so although I haven’t read it I did see Christine on TV this morning and was so impressed by her I had to look the book up immediately. With lots of information on processed foods and eating “real” as well as recipes with photos- I am hooked, and I don’t even have the book in my hands yet. I think this article about her way of thinking really encouraged me to buy the book.
She also wrote, “Skinny Chicks Don’t Eat Salads- Stop Starving, Start Eating and Losing.” Which can be found here- another one of my biggest points that I feel like a lot of women don’t understand.
Starving yourself does not lead to weight loss- muscle loss and no energy, yes.. it will do that.

@BariBeauty – Pure Ice in Taupe Drawer Swatch
Helllo! I’m here with the second @BariBeauty post featuring another Pure Ice polish in Taupe Drawer. Don’t be fooled by the name. This is actually a mauve, pinkish, purpleish color. I probably would never have picked a color like this before because it seems like one of those shades that’s adorable in the bottle but horrid as a nail color BUT I was wrong. This is such a cute color and I’ve been getting a million and one compliments on it. This color though, unlike the previous one I tried, takes a bit of patience to put on.
Three thin coats later…
Yes, I painted three coats of this baby. I had actually painted my nails this same color three different times because I had meant to take photos earlier but failed because I’ve been so busy. The reason why it took three coats is because for some reason, this polish/color can get splotchy if you don’t let the coats completely dry and if you don’t paint each stroke carefully. Not to mention, three coats got me the perfect hue that I was looking for. Experiment for yourself… perhaps you’re better at painting your nails than I am. Perhaps (more than likely) you’re more patient with painting your nails than I am.
GREAT winter to spring shade. It’s pretty enough for the warm, sunny weather but not so bright that you can’t wear it at night or in gloomy, chilly weather. Purchase your bottle of Taupe Drawer here 🙂
xo, June
