My New Fav

I have a strong feeling that “My New Fav” will come to be the title of many posts, hahaha!
Anywho, this new fav is mascara by Maybelline. Part of their Volum’ Express line this one is The Falsies.



Anyone who knows me knows I love all things girly and make-up is no exception. I’ll try almost anything and I’m a true sucker for a good advertisement. I picked up The Falsies at my neighborhood Target store for about $7 and I love it. My lashes in general are very curly and a little short. This mascara coats well for added volume, and stretches those curly hairs to the max. The only negative is that to get it all off takes a little longer than normal, but not a deal breaker for me. I'll add before and after photos later.

Ummmmmm, ok

Although the use of materials is a little, shall we say......questionable, the effect is very cool. Ladies and Gentlemen, false lashes made from fly legs.


Wanna be

And do we not love the leopard boots?!

Man vs. Food

Adam Richman made the voyage to Cleveland!! He visited the West Side Market for a giant gyro, Melt Bar and grill for a mammoth grilled cheese and my favorite, Hot Sauce Williams for a polish boy. Hot Sauce Williams is a C-Town institution and the polish boy the city’s pride and joy! Every time I go home for a visit my first stop is Hot Sauce Williams. I even worked at the E. 125 St. location the summer after I graduated from high school. Here is the complete episode of Man vs. Food: Cleveland, the polish boy feature starts at the 6 minute mark.



Here are a few images captured by my 6 year old God-daughter during my last Hot Sauce pilgrimage.

The Polish Boy!! Mmmmm


The next time you're in Cleveland please check them out and bring a Polish Boy back for me!

Kitchenette

I want to tell you about a gem of a place I’ve “discovered.” Kitchenette is the cutest, coziest restaurant.



I’ve only visited the Uptown location at W. 123 and Amsterdam Ave. but there is a second location on Chambers St. They make a lot of their food and condiments in house and have a pastry case that will make even the most weight conscious lady treat herself. I tried several menu items, they have excellent breakfast choices, and the sandwiches are great. The décor is comprised of mostly recycled and found objects which for me, only makes the food that much tastier. My only complaint is the week-end brunch menu. It differs from the regular weekday afternoon menu and not always for the best, but the food is great none the less.


The pictures below were taken with my phone so excuse the quality. On this day I had a BLT and my roommate Roz had the Farmhouse breakfast. Didn’t think about taking pics until after we were done, Ahahaha, sorry! All the sandwiches come with a pickle that is made in house and they are THE MOST delicious pickles EVER!
