My little garden

So since spring is upon us, even though we are still not feeling it 100% yet. I thought it would be a good idea to start a little garden in my apartment to jump start some seeds, so that I can plant them right before summer.

Here is what they look like now after 2 weeks of growing. The left side is veggies and the right side is flowers. They look amazing, cant wait till they are ready to be planted!

Maya Café Cantina

So for day 1 of my birthday my boyfriend took me to our favorite mexican restaurant, Maya Café Cantina.  Its located in the heart of the Hudson Valley, Fishkill New York. This place has the best guacamole in the area, and it is made to order at your table. They also make homemade Sangria that is just to die for, we got a mini pitcher for only $10 ! I ordered enchiladas since they are my favorite when I go there . To finish our wonderful dinner we shared fried ice cream. If your ever in the Hudson Valley area you need to make a stop here for the best mexican food and you will feel like you just stepped into mexico.

Essie Neon Collection!

As always, Kat from Essie keeps me in the loop with the hottest colors around when it comes to polish. You all have probably seen in the stores lately, neon colors are back and shown threw fashion and in polish. So this new neon collection is available starting today at Essie.com, the best part is that you dont have to spend your paycheck on them, they are still only $8.00. They will be in stores nationwide in May. I cant wait to get them, I love them all such great colors to go with great fashion! 

 Punchy Pink – Delicious berry icicle

Flirty Fuchsia – Flaming hot magenta

Funky Limelight – Brilliant day-glo yellow

Perky Purple – Electric boogie violet

 

TIP FROM ESSIE WEINGARTEN:  “Since neon nail colors produce a matte finish, make sure to apply a base and top coat like essie Protein Base Coat andGood to Go! top coat for a rich, high shine finish.”

TOMS Shoes

TOMS Shoes is a amazing shoe company, and if you haven't heard of them before you should look them up! Every time someone purchessses one pair of shoes they give one a way to someone who really needs them. Black Mycoskie is the Chief Shoe Giver of TOMS Shoes and he has teamed up with AT&T for a 30 second commercial ad campaign. Here is some info from their website:

Directed by Bennet Miller, an Academy Award nominee, filming for the commercial began in early February 2009. Using a variety of locations, shooting stretched over several weeks and two continents. The result is a commercial that captures the essence of TOMS.

Since our beginning in 2006, TOMS Shoes has given 140,000 pairs of shoes to children in Argentina, Ethiopia, and South Africa. Because of your support, TOMS plans to give 300,000 pairs of shoes to children in need in 2009.

First aired during the Masters golf tournament, and slated to run over 12 weeks, the ATT ad with Blake will allow TOMS Shoes to reach hundreds of millions of people. TOMS’ simple One for One movement should inspire viewers, which will allow TOMS to give even more shoes to children in need around the world.
