Spring has sprung – MY FAVORITE SEASON!!!! April Fools…spring is really my least favorite season. Why you may ask? Because YOU may think of spring as warmer beautiful days, doing things outdoors and listening to the birds singing. Yeah yeah I used to think of spring like that too – until I realized that it’s really not like that – o.k. maybe 10 days of the whole season are like that – but to me spring means RAIN lots and lots of freakin’ and depressing rain. Hence, I don’t really like the spring!!!!!
Anyway, this week I decided that it was time to change around my closets and bring out my lighter weight clothing (yeah like freakin raincoats and umbrellas). This year I promised myself some cool and funky Wellington boots (is that an oxymoron)? Did you know that Chanel came out with rubber rain boots (black with a white heel – gorgeous!).
This past weekend I was in cooped up in my house (because of a freakin’ monsoon). I took out a cookbook that I recently ordered on Amazon called “The Sneaky Chef” by Missy Chase Lapine. This cookbook teaches you how to hide healthy foods in your kids’ favorite meals. As I’m writing this blog, my son is munching on brownies containing wheat germ, spinach and blueberries. Tonight I’m making macaroni and cheese with cauliflower and zucchini. I love this book.
O.k. so can we talk lipstick (sometimes I get random thoughts). Pink is “in” for spring and summer and red is going to be big for the fall. Personally, I’m a red girl – what am I loving now? Well, it’s a toss up between Pocket Pal Benetint+Gloss by Benefit, Dior Addict Ultra Gloss #851 by Christian Dior, and Betrayal Lipstick by Loose Lips New York.
I recently checked out a cool store called Shag located in the Village of Roslyn (New York). They have clothing, handbags, jewelry, belts, etc. I saw lots of skulls and rock and roll insignias on the clothing and accessories. I also recently came across a great jewelry website called christiemartin.net. They sell adorable silver and gold jewelry. Great for gifts!!
One last note – this weekend I’m going to Woodbury Magazine’s Disco Ball. It’s an event to raise money for Autism. It looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun and it’s for a great cause. If you are interested in attending you can email me and I’ll give you the info. Until next time…..
