HOT as Fiyah…
My favorite color is green, but there's something about red that speaks to me. I've done little research to get some insight as to its meaning, but I did read somewhere that it reps power and strength. I guess that's why women in business are encouraged to...

A 60th Birthday, Mariachi’s & a Simple Spinach Artichoke Dip With Heat!

Getting Dolled Up {Every Day}
I love make up. But what girl doesn't? The irony is that my Dr. sister is mentally allergic to it, and my mother has never liked it. It's like fighting pitbulls to get either one of them to put on the most basic of gloss and mascara on.But th...

Chilled White Asparagus & Ginger Soup W/Grilled Shrimp

The Royal Wedding. And I’m Wearing a Hat & Sipping Tea at the Four Seasons, Park 75 Lounge!
I did not think I'd bring myself to write this. I've been kinda astonished at the amount of international press the Royal wedding of Will & Kate is getting. I mean, really? Times Square is televising the wedding, every news outlet is in London right now, ...
