new york botanical gardens summer 2013



 

I love going to the NY Botanical Gardens... and the fact that its just a hop, skip and a jump away from me is a big PLUS!

There are two Gardens in NYC.   One in the Bronx and one in Brooklyn both are lovely and very different.  The Bronx garden is much much larger and holds the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory a beautiful Victorian style glass house.  You can see a bit of it in the photo above...  i LOVE it there!




Check out the link for more info on pricing and directions http://www.nybg.org/plan_your_visit/

All photos are my own taken by me with a macro lens.  I really enjoy taking photos but by no means do i consider myself a professional.  It's a new hobby and who knows maybe one day it can become something more :D.

Please enjoy and the next time you visit NYC please don't forget to visit the Bronx and the Botanical Gardens.

fortune cookie soap









Desperately Seeking Santa; smells like a strawberry jolly rancher



Cinnamon Rolled;  has a VERY strong cinnamon smell just like the Big Red gums lol


Lilac; its more like an artificial Lilac smell if that makes sense.


Hubba Hubba; smells like the sugar free bubble yum gum took me forever to place the scent.


In The Loop; smells just like fruit loops JUST LIKE IT!


 What? It's 5 O' Clock Somwhere!; my least favorite.  Smells like an artificial strawberry shortcake.



I decided to try out the company Fortune Cookie Soap for fun one day.  I discovered them watching youtube videos.   I noticed this company sold boxes of samples, sort of like Birchbox or Ipsy but there are only 4 boxes per year (i think).   Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall.  In my first Summer box i got a 10 dollar coupon and finally decided to put it to use.  So I purchased 6 soaps in the amount of 10 bucks but had to pay for shipping which was 8 dollars and change.

If i have to give my honest opinion,  I wont purchase any additional products other than the boxed samples.  I find the scents to be very "artificial" if you know what i mean.  BUT i think its fun to try and the soaps are just clever you know in the shape of fortune cookies with actual fortunes inside.


Feel free to check out the website http://www.fortunecookiesoap.com/




My order also included a freebee... a small sample of a bath bomb.


Please note i was not scent (jejeje get it? lol) any products for review.  I purchase everything with my own hard earned money.

Its here! Beachbody's T25








Hello

I just got the newest and latest workout to come from BEACHBODY!  It was on backorder for over a month but it finally came today...

SO LETS BEGIN.

This program claims YOU WILL see extraordinary results in just 5 weeks!  25 minutes a day  5 days a week.  Now dont all these workout programs make these claims?  of course they do.  The companies just want you to buy what theyre selling.

However Beachbody programs have changed millions of peoples lives and im ready for it to change mine!

IM PUTTING THIS TO THE TEST... of course you only will get out of it what you put into it... not everyone will have the same results... some folks wont even get any results.  We shall see,  follow me on this journey.   Im putting it all out there for EVERYONE to see.  I DONT CARE... im sharing my weight, the embarrasing photos, videos, short videos of what the different workouts look like and i will be following the eating plan it includes.

While i test the workout out i will NOT be doing any other workouts in addition to this... its the only way to see if it really works.

 BEGINNING OF WEEK 1 STARTING WEIGHT

The nite she danced



                It was getting darker sooner and the leaves had begun to change hues… YELLOWREDBROWN.  You know that time of year when the air is crisp and fresh?  Well that’s how it was that day…

“its chilly” she said, while she walked over to shut the window.  She looked out and saw the sun was setting.  She was a little tense from all the days drama.  So she decided to find ways to unwind.
SPARK… FLAME…
She lighted her candles… dimmed the lights… poured some wine
SMOOTH… TINGLE…
Felt the warmth of the liquor tickle her throat
SOFT…MUSIC…
Finally feeling relaxed she decided to slip into something a little more comfortable.
The mood was set and she was starting to feel a little nicceeeee.   She quickly found her mind wander to a particular warm summer day when she first met HIM.  She remembered it fondly, the day of the HEAVY RAINS  that was nice
The thoughts of him began to make her feel … oh you know… a little excited maybe? Or perhaps intoxicated… either way she got up and began to dance.
ooooo I remember that song!!!”
THE VERY FIRST TIME I SAW YOUR BROWN EYES YOUR LIPS SAID HELLO AND I SAID HI
She began to caress her soft skin, feeling how her body moved to the beat of the music watching herself dance and her hands explore her body.
She was a pretty good dancer  “damn im good” giving herself props and grinning sheepishly.  She liked how she moved and knew he did too.
Feeling warm she cracked the window open some… noticed it was completely dark now… trees dancing to the music the winds made… she felt her breasts applaud to the symphony outside and began to caress them… slowly slipping of her nightgown.
I KNEW RIGHT THEN YOU WERE THE ONE
All the while thinking of him… the way he looked at her… the way he touched her… the way he said her name.
Dancing was always better with a partner so was touching, kissing and caressing… She wanted HIM… she wanted him there to dance with to hold her tight, feel the warmth from her body to touch kiss and caress…

BUT  soon she began to lose her buzz and became sadden by the thoughts of him.  She was mostly upset with herself  allowing ONE person to have such an affect  on her.  How dare he! ! !
I WAS CAUGHT UP IN PHYSICAL  ATTRACTION BUT TO MY SATISFACTION
Throwing herself on her bed she closed her eyes and dreamt… on that very crisp and fresh night… on that very nite… the nite she danced.
