furikake salmon with chicken katsu combination
my first meal of the day so i needed something light (salmon) but due to my eye’s being bigger than my stomach, i added on the chicken katsu. overall good and i highly recommend en fuegos.
eye creme – strivectin-sd
l’occiane – foot creme
to be honest, i have been falling behind with my skin care regime. with all the moving and working non-stop, my daily routine was forgotten. i would wake up and just cleansed my face with basic products… then out the door i go.
now that everything has fallen into it’s place…my sleep has been consistent and i am getting into the rhythm of life again (yes, a bit dramatic but very true). along with it all, i ran out of eye creme for about a month. i finally found some time to take care of my skin. i purchased the strivectin creme and i highly recommend it. it is suppose to reduce puffiness and dark circles (i believe it works).
the foot creme, i am not so entirely satisfied with. it works and soothes your foot from a long days worth of work but after waking up with this particular creme, my feet felt icky. i need a few more days to determine how satisfying it is.
Holy shit! I fucken live in New York City (it just hit me the other day). The past couple of months have been a complete blur, just constant movement. So, I decided to get high and explore the city.
On my adventure day I found hands down the cutest vintage shop in the Chelsea area of Manhattan (my favorite!) It’s called Pippin Vintage Jewelry, located on 17th st. right off of 7th avenue. They have a numerous selection of Vintage jewelry, hats, and accessories all dating back from the 1930′s and up.
The coolest part was the second part of the store. It’s located right next to it down a hall or mirrors. It feels like you are stepping back into time; the music, ambiance, and smell (the good kine vintage smell) takes you into a time warp.
It’s my tradition that every year I get CRANBERRY from the Body Shop. So, off I walked to the Broadway location. A limited item they only sell during the Holidays. Luckily I scored! Buy 3 get 3 free (a door prize). So, I stocked up and got 9 Home fragrance oils. I also bought a cute oil burner to go along with it. If you have not smelled this lemme just tell you, it’s unreal. It makes you feel like Christmas 24/7.
A big thank you to Starbucks Flatiron for satisfying my caffiene need. Here’s the perfect Holiday drink recommendation:
Grande
Peppermint
1/2 Non Fat/ Soy
No Whip
w/ Dark Chocolate curls
White Mocha
It was an orgasm in a cup, nuff said. The perfecting ending to my day.
One Love Manhattan.
Screw Utrecht & Pearl with your overpriced everything! Bubba and I prefer this new place. Artist & Craftsman Supply located in Brooklyn, a block away from the Graham Ave. stop on the L Train. I do believe this is one of the best Art Supply stores in NY. As soon as we walked in it felt like home. It’s a cute store with a great selection.
From the outside of the store you wouldn’t think it can hold much, but do not let looks deceive you. Upon entering you are immersed in a wide variety and selection of paints and they also carry many brands. Look out for the sales they have on some paints, they can range from 20-40% off. They are well stocked on textures, matte medium, and any other type of enhancers for paint.
I was glad to see they had a great selection/ variety of brushes. They were also stocked very well. I’ve been to many supply stores where there are brushes missing and do not get re-filled for months! No worries about that here.
What really impressed me was the Canvas selections. They have a whole room dedicated to it. This is the first store that I have been to that had wood & linen canvases. Great selection of sizes and shapes. Some of them were a little pricey but worth the quality.
As far as craft supplies, they got it all. Glue guns, earring backs, feathers, felt, pipe cleaners. This place just keeps uping its coolness points.
A magical room.
And did I mention this place has a second floor as well? The top area is reserved for rolls of paper, sketchbooks, drawing pads, and screen printing supplies.
What to choose... Hmmm.
ACS blew my mind. Great location, decent prices, and a very friendly staff. Definitely worth a trip to Brooklyn. We’ll be back 4 sho.
