I came across an acronym this morning that I absolutely love. My gym has a “secret” Facebook page that basically serves as a member forum. People post funny pictures, inspirational photos, rants and questions to other members. I started noticing that “HTFU” had been accompanying a lot of…

The Dora Effect
A wise man and I had a funny conversation a couple of weekends ago regarding an episode of Nick Jr.’s Dora the Explorer, where when approached by a huge snake she simply tells the snake, “no snake no” (or something to that effect) instead of running away or calling for help. As impressionable and copycat as […]
MoreBring Your Base Coat
At Dominican hair salons (if/when I go- because honestly- I do my hair myself most of the time,) I’m constantly seeing women bring their own shampoo/conditioners; and I’ve always thought, “Well why are they doing that when the salon uses great shampoos and conditioners?!” Truth is, if it’s not a 3+ star salon, they’re probably using […]
MoreSpamalot
…and no, not Monty Pythons‘. I’m referring to the weirdos and bots out there that really still send out SPAM? This one wasn’t even filtered, went straight to my AOL inbox (which currently forwards to my gmail,) and I honestly started reading it because I thought it was from the BF (from a different email?) […]

Over the past month quite a few clips from “The Hunger Games” have been released and, to my relief, they do not expose much from the movie. These short clips (most run about 30 seconds long) are giving fans a first glimpse to the film adaptation, the similarities, and differences that…

KONY 2012: Invisible Children
No matter whether you support the approach of “Make Kony Famous” or not; you can’t tell me it doesn’t give you goosebumps to watch, and/or empowered to help stop what’s happening to these children. “KONY 2012 is a film and campaign by Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, […]
MoreWedding Dress Blues
Oh god no, I am not wedding dress shopping, nor do I have cold feet about a marriage, and I’m definitely not depressed about a love life and hoarding friends’ bridesmaids dresses to satisfy some in-my-head crazy “I hope my wedding is as perfect,” like Katherine Heigl. I’m referring to the not-so-traditional approach to bride/groom […]
MoreThank You NY Giants
Looks like it CAN pay off to enter sweeps and contests because you never know when you’ll win the chance of a lifetime, i.e the “Play Like a Giant” experience I won via MetLife Central. During the season they ran a sweeps where they chose a winner per week for different NY Jets AND Giants […]
MoreVaricose Veins
Varicose veins… huh? The veins your mom and grandma are always talking about? Yes, THOSE. Most women get them (50-55%,) and it’s usually hereditary… thanks Grandma, I happen to be victim to the bloody things (no pun intended, you’ll learn why below,) and I’m still young to have had them as bad I did, “varicose […]
