Drink: Strawberry Beer Cocktail
I’m not a big fan of beer. I wouldn’t call it my drink of choice at a party or at a bar. I’ve had countless number of friends try to ease me into beer drinking, but it didn’t work. That’s until I heard about people making cocktails out of beer! It sounded pretty unappealing at … Continue reading
Watch: New Girl
Each television season, there seems to be an increasing amount of movie actors and actresses transitioning to television. In the past, it seemed to be the other way, but stars like Zooey Deschanel don’t seem to mind. She is the star of last year’s breakout hit, “New Girl” which is about a girl named Jessie, … Continue reading
Eat: Tiramisu Bread Pudding
Tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts. One of my favorite things about it is its texture. Made with layers of coffee-soaked lady fingers and creamy mascarpone with a dusting of chocolate on top, it is decadent dessert that is meant to be savored. Ladyfingers aren’t something that usually makes my shopping list, so when … Continue reading

Live: Chalkboard Painted Walls
When I was a kid, I used to draw all over our house’s wall with crayons and markers. I’m pretty sure my dad did not appreciate having to paint over all my little creations. If we had known that there was such thing as chalkboard paint, it would have saved my parents a lot of … Continue reading
Explore: Caño Cristales, Colombia
The Caño Cristales is probably one of the most beautiful rivers in the world.

Listen: Lana del Rey

Drink: Rose Water Granita
The concept of rose water fascinates me. Something about drinking crushed flower petals entices me and freaks me out at the same time.From what I have heard, not only does rose water smell good (obviously), but it tastes good and has amazing health benefits. I’m always up for trying new things, but I like to ease my way into … Continue reading
Wear: Best Dressed at the Emmys
The Emmys aired last night and while I found the show to be a little lackluster, the red carpet dresses to be absolutely stellar. Out of all the dresses that graced the red carpet, I somehow found a way to narrow the field down to my 12 favorite looks of the night. To next year’s … Continue reading
Watch: The 2012 Primetime Emmy Awards
Tomorrow night is the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards and I couldn’t be more excited for a couple reason. First, the red carpet is always fun to see beautiful dresses and judging actresses’ (or their stylists) taste in style in comfort of my home in my OnePiece. Second, I have been suffering withdrawal symptoms and it will … Continue reading
Eat: Portobello Mushroom Fries
I’m in love with portobello mushrooms. They are so big, juicy, and flavorful and can be found in one of my favorite dishes, chicken marsala. I also have an infinity for French fries, so when I came across a recipe for portobello fries, I knew it was something I had to try. The combination of … Continue reading
