I started Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert in the Summer of 2007, when I was on bedrest for 8 weeks with our #2. I started it, decided Liz was way too whiny for my taste, and I put the book down after page 56. After three years, and in between grad school semesters, I decided to pick up Eat Pray Love again and give it another try, especially with the…
The last time I wrote it was still cold and I was touting SpaWeek in the middle of February. Well, six months later, it’s August and I’ve decided that I am going to write some short reviews on the three nail places that I go to. Today’s review is the $20 mani/pedi special at the Spring Nail Salon on Fulton Street. I went this past Sunday around 4:00. The place…

We love being downtown so much. There is always something to do: from playing in an empty Washington Market Park because it’s 26 degrees out, to enjoying the BEST cup of coffee and toasted bagel with cream cheese at Jack’s Stir Brew to a nice, warm dip in the pool at the Downtown Community Center. That’s right, even in the frigid weather we’ve been having, we all trekked with our ice…
I think that Whole Foods Tribeca is a great place to go food shopping. I just know that they have a well-edited stock of fresh produce, seafoods, meats and grocery products. Going to Whole Foods helps me not have to think if the package of graham crackers that I just put in the cart has hydrogenated oils or not. One less thing to think about for this Triple Threat Mommy….
We loved ice skating in Battery Park City so much that we went back again this past Sunday.

Now that we’ve become fans of a winter sport (ice skating – read below), we’ve had to find some warm clothes – fast. We usually get our warm weather gear from Lands End, so we were set with warm coats, mittens and even snow pants, but from what I remember from skiing, you need a good pair of warm socks to help keep you going for hours either in the…
Weatherproof ad featuring President Obama. My boss’ office overlooks the looming picture of President Barack Obama and we’ve been perplexed all week as to whether or not President Obama really did in fact endorse Weatherproof. We were asking why we didn’t think of it considering Michelle Obama has been photographed wearing Liz Claiborne New York a few months ago. Being marketers, we questioned the legitimacy of the ad, but hey,…
