{Beauty Bloom} How to Have a Spa Day at Home: Start with the Face

#FlanFriday: It’s a Pear and Brandy Creme Kind of Thing

JetBlue Flies Commercial Flight to Cuba, the First in Over 50 Years and I Was Onboard
It was 11:58 am on Friday morning and I still had to park somewhere near 16th St. The Cuban Embassy, open for official government business only 15 months, closes at noon. I parked, illegally, and ran fast enough to burn off breakfast. I walked up to the ga...

Labor Day Chicken & Chorizo Tacos with Garlic Herb Sabra Hummus Spread
I'm over summer. Have been for about 3 weeks. It's too hot and too humid, everywhere. It's standard sexy appeal as been far absent. I'm all for fall coming and staying for an extended visit simply to make up for the days of searing sun leaving me depleted ...
