Robert Rodriguez, Threads 4 Thought I had been lusting after the burnout Robert Rodriguez sweatshirt, however, it was a special edition and not available for purchase.  I did an extensive internet search to find a suitable replica but I was unable to find any good alternatives. While browsing through my favorite magazine, People Stylewatch, I […]

This weekend was very uneventful, however, I was able to accomplish a lot of what I wanted. I finally cleaned up the entire apartment. We have a studio, so space is limited. When we moved in one of our requirements was desk space for my BF to study at. It turns out that he likes […]

Oh Biscuit – we have a love/hate relationship, don’t we? I was mesmerized by Laura Hillenbrand’s second book, Unbroken. Upon recommendation from my dad, I decided to read her first novel too. I had high expectations going into Seabiscuit, having just loved Hillenbrand’s other book. I’m sad to say, the Biscuit did not live up […]

Did you know that there were around 600,000 potholes in Chicago last winter?  In response to that staggering number Jim Bachor took a common nuisance and made it art. Not only did he help solve some […]

The novel centers around a British spy and how he, and others, kept sensitive information out of German hands.  I enjoyed reading Dominion, although at times I […]

Florida was a dream.  Being with my family will always be my favorite pastime. The highlight of my vacation was watching Henry fall in love with his Uncle. It’s clear to me that when the BF and I have children, I will be the bad cop and he will be the good cop. Whenever Henry cried over […]

I, Gabriela Monsanto, have single-handedly found the best dairy free ice cream available – don’t worry, you can thank me later. Whenever I venture home to Long Island I am desperate to find good dairy free desserts. In New York City I have my designated vegan dessert locales. Unfortunately, Long Island is not as advanced […]
