Mel Gets Married: I'm Engaged!

From the time that most women are little girls, they start planning (well, more like dreaming) for their wedding days. As cliché and stereotypical as this sounds, we women all know in the cockles of our hearts that this statement is true....read more...

My Health Guru Calley,

Ok we all have our vices, so please help. I need to clean up my body. If you could recommend quitting smoking or drinking, which do you think would be most beneficial to me?

My Health Guru Calley,

Hello, I always seem so down and have no energy. It’s hard to get out of bed in the morning. I have no time (and extra funds), for a gym. Can you recommend a few stretches or exercises that can give me a boost in the morning? Hitting the snooze button just isn’t cutting it.

Fear

Fear. No, not the band or the Marky Mark movie with the infamous roller coaster scene. The raw emotion, which has been evoked from pending danger, anxiety or reverential awe. Maybe it was the fact that I was in a Church, an institution that does evoke fear in the hearts and minds of many. Even [...]

Get Off:Broadway that is, with BRUNCH The Musical

I love going to a Broadway show. I love the music, the costumes, I love everything about it. I think the thing I love most is the inspiration it gives me for those few hours after I leave my seat. My head filled with thoughts such as: “Don’t go out drinking, work on writing a [...]

30 Things before I’m 30

My brother has been telling people (especially cute boys in bars) that I have been pushing 30 since I was 24. Well Ben, you finally have your wish. I am now 6 months and counting from this turning point. I am terrified to be completely honest. After assessing the situation, I realize that there are [...]

Crochet Craze takes on new Heights.

All it took is a vision, some yarn and a damn good motivator. I am sure some Red Bull wouldn’t have hurt either. Winters in NYC are a bit cold, i’m sure all you city girls can agree. We have had our fair share of the “arctic chill” in recent weeks. However, I have never [...]

Give A Little Love..

The recession has changed the way people feel about purchasing, but not the way we feel about others. The world is full of warm, caring people. Tough times just call for us to band together more and look for alternate routes when solving problems. This Holiday season especially, my friends and I have found ways [...]

Tree grows in the East Village

I have had a craving for mussels for months now. Just recently was I able to scratch that itch at the East Village restaurant Tree. I had wanted to stop in ever since walking by recently… it just looks cute. Every aspect of Tree, was cute indeed, from the decor to the waitstaff.
My meal began [...]

Basic Beans & Rice

I stole this dish from my friend Chris. He is always the one encouraging me to eat healthier. However, I am very poor, and very lazy at times. He is a great cook, but has also shown me that it is really not hard to make something taste good. This is about the easiest, cheapest [...]

Election Night Excitement

I attended the Election Night Results party at the 3rd Ward arts center in Bushwick, BK last night. My good friend Paul Nicholson had his Bust of Sarah Palin on display, so of course I wanted to support. I know this election is a big deal, and honestly has been the first time I ever felt [...]
