Taste of Times Square




So This past Monday, June 1st, was the Taste of Times Square. I went with my friend Nat and her brother. Weather aside, we had a great time, probably because 1) it was a cheap event and 2) we like to eat lol.  I mean who doesn't love food? I took a few shots from some of the stands we went to, but I must say I was shocked to see how many people showed up. There were a few bands,3 that I can remember were a Mariachi band [which i believe is shown in a video below] the Ebony Hillbillies and another band that had it's own section  for dancing. Their name escapes me, but they had a Frank Sinatra feel to it.







Some of the samples we had:

Rigatoni Bolognese







Chicken & Sausage Jumbalaya
Burbon Bacon Brownie
Cajun Chicken Pasta













Cheesecake Bites from Buffalo Wild Wings
[absolutely delicious!!!]















There were many more stands/samples but quite honestly I was too bust eating to capture more lol




Some shots of the crowd:

Back to basics

So it just dawned on me that I've yet again neglected this blog of mine. At least this time around it was for a few months as opposed to a few years lol. But any whoo, hello to anyone who just happens to stumble across this.
As of late I found myself feeling down and uninspired, most due to the weather/season. [The cold and snow have really been showing up and showing out this winter] the other day I decided I needed a little pick me up and decided to do something I haven't done in such a long time, get my nails done. I had forgotten how something as simple as a trip to the nail salon could cheer you up. While I was there I thought about how I used to love.......OK not love but obessess over nail polish. I swear there was a time I couldn't go into Duane Reade, Target, my local beuaty supply store, or Ricky's without picking up a bottle of OPI, Essie, Sinful colors or anything else I could find.  I thought about adding a nail color section her to 1 keep me on my toes when it comes to blogging and 2) so I can remember which colors I love/hate and why
Well that's enough rambling, here's the first color
Nail color is Monkey Business by Essie.
