PranaBars taste good

PranaBar hooked it up!! I was soooo excited to try these bars.  My work eats were long overdue for a newbie 🙂 Pairs of everything (salad, apples, bars). Salad #1 (spinach, asparagus, green beans, carrots, adzuki beans) Salad #2 (quinoa, peas, corn, dried cranz) Bar#1 (Coconut Acai PranaBar) Bar #2 (Mocha-walla Odwalla bar) Apple #1 (red gala) Apple #2 (yellow wahsington) I think it’s fairly obvious which part of my lunch I was most excited to try… (Aside from Larabars) I have never found a bar with such great stats.  Seriously, this company has a… Read more >

Work and Peacefood

This is one of the more bare work lunches I have packed… Don’t worry, the apple-less state of this photo was remedied once I took my lunch break.  Thank you Gracefully for providing such an abundance of eye candy organic fruit. Greens entered my bod in the form of spinach, brocc, and peas.  The rest of the salad ingreds included adzuki beans, chickpeas, corn and dried cranz. Since Kyle has been a slave to the office, and I have hardly seen him over the last 72 hours, we decided a nice date night at Peacefood… Read more >

Red Flags

The storm warnings on every media outlet… The closing of all NYC public schools… Yes, there were several red flags that should have clued me into the fact that this Wednesday would be far worse than the average hump day.  But I’m never one to heed warning signs (that or I’m too dense optimistic to let them get to me…). Exhibit A: Favorite stila eye shadow smashed to pieces This photo was not taken at the time of the crime (4:45 am) but rather at 8 pm, after I returned home from an insane 14… Read more >

Baby steps

My appetite was a monster the other day.  Not a little monster either, a BIG a$$ monster.  I didn’t have work, so I let myself sleep in a bit, but once my alarm went off at 8, my stomach was growling like an overly-protective Rottweiler.  That’s not typical for me.  My stomach usually needs a few minutes (or an hour) to warm up to the idea of calories.  If you know me, you know I’m not a morning person, but my stomach is even less so.  Ordinarily I ease it in with coffee…today, though, I… Read more >

Pearly whites & snowy nights

After my sophisticated breakfast of an apple and frothy cup of coffee, I headed to the dentist’s office for a routine cleaning.  Since I was in midtown, I met up with Kyle after my appointment to show off my sparkling new pearly whites.  I owe my cavity free chompers to these babies.  Kyle and I went for a little stroll before he returned to work. Entering through Artisan’s Gate (Central Park South and 7th Ave)… A crossroads in The Park (if there’s ever a park to be capitalized and deemed “THE” park, it should be… Read more >
