Six Months Post Op!

On Tuesday I went to Dr. Champion for my 6-month check up!  On one hand, I can’t believe it’s been 6 months already.  I am in such a different place in my life now.  On the other hand, it seems like yesterday. Dr. Champion was really happy with my progress, which makes me happy because [...]

Live Life To The Fullest Food Review: Beleza Restaurant

For my Birthday dinner Terrence took me to this restaurant I’ve been dying to try near my apartment (it’s on Juniper Street) called Beleza.  I’ve heard such amazing things about it because the food is supposed to be very organic, healthy, Brazilian and kind of quirky.  I have to tell you that the reviews have [...]

Tao Poem

Sometimes I write poetry when I am falling asleep.  Last night I wrote (in my head) … Feelings can only be measured by words. Words can only be manifested into language. Language are the Myth Gods’ sorry excuse at expression. Love is Man’s word for God.   Language is limiting When it comes to the [...]

12:16 AM Thoughts

I’ve been feeling a little stressed + bored lately.  Even though I had a really fun weekend, I don’t know, I’ve just been feeling super restless.  I’ve been internally a little bit anxious lately about certain people in my life and also waiting to get news on a job position.  Unlike other times, I feel [...]

Setting Goal For This Week

I wrote on my lil’ whiteboard that is on my fridge to eat more fruits and veggies.  I’ve been sticking to a very high protein, low carb menu – but I need to add in there some more fruit and veggies.  That’s my goal for this week!

Live Life To The Fullest Food Review: Richard Blais’ HOME Is Where The Heart Is (And Fried Chicken)

If you’re a Top Chef fanatic like I am, than you’ll know that the runner up in last season’s show was Atlanta’s own Richard Blais.  I was happy that Stephanie won, since it’s the first time a woman has won Top Chef, and I thought she did a TERRIFIC job.  But of course I would [...]

Banana Chips + Cashews = Weakness For Me.

I am banned from having cashews and banana chips in my apartment.  I have no idea why these are my weaknesses of ALL things.  I even have a leftover cheesecake in my freezer from my birthday that I haven’t really thought twice about.  Okay, that’s a lie, I’ve thought about it once – but it’s [...]

Paula Deen – The Most Frightening Thing Ever … And That’s Not All!

When I was at the beach with Katie, we were watching Paula’s Party on Food Network.  Have you seen her?  I’m telling you right now – she is FRIGHTENING!  I’m not sure if it’s her blue hair, her hyena cackle, her over-exaggerated southern drawl – or the fact that she took a huge bite out [...]

Chicken & Mango Dinner

Tonight I made up a really good dinner.  I was in the mood for something Thai.  A little sweet.  A little salty.  Kinda like me   I’m a sucker for strong flavor and sauces.   Please note – my recipe’s rarely are measured.  Hey – I’m an Artist!  I just go by look and taste. [...]
