Fact: I could wash down dirt with foamy coffee and still be happy. Fact: Spending 15 minutes trying to fix a broken toaster can lead you to dark places. Good thing God invented peanut butter for such moments. Fiction: A microwave is just as good as a toaster anyways. Fact: Apples + cinnamon = the perfect fall snack Fiction: Taking a cross-town bus after coffee and fiber loading is a smart idea. Fact: Bathrooms aren’t abundant on the Upper East Side.

Apple, Blog, Coffee that is. As if my hospital-less days would start any other way… Hope you guys liked the froth tutorial. This alphabetical brekkie got me through a tivo-ed Gossip Girl episode (followed by a dance party in my PJs to Lady GaGa) and many many blogs, but eventually I needed a course two. A [me] & goji bowl of deliciousness filled (my tummy’s) void. Shortly after I digested, I threw on some clothes, got my hair did, beautified my face, and hit the road to get some errands done. Runway ready? FO SHO…. Read more >

Being a coffee connoisseur caffeine dependent, I am willing to spend nearly any price to get my fix the EXACT way I like it. The good news: this tool doesn’t cost anywhere near as much as some fancy shmancy espresso machine. Introducing the Caffé Froth by BonJour… It’s such a simple tool to use, and yet,… Read more >

(not that you really asked) Four of those are mine. Four. Normally I’m all about saving my cup and taking advantage of the free 54 cent refills. But, since I worked through lunch, I didn’t even get the chance to run across the street to get my Starbucks fix. I was barely hanging on (which I guess… Read more >

Back to work already?! Weekends go by too fast, but at least Monday meant the return of my K-love. You know the drill. Fruit (dried and fresh), Clif bars (seasonal and Z), pretz, and tupperware filled “entrees.” I recently bought these spelt pretzels from WFs, and although I was nervous about straying from my Newman’s protein pretz, I like trying new things. The verdict? Good, but different. I think I liked them, but sometimes (like when I’m starving at work) any carb will do. I’ll have to try them again when I’m not running on… Read more >
