Eat. Pray. Love.

Shelley — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 12:00:36 +0000

Eat. Pray. Love. It’s what I do. I mastered the Eat part the minute I exited the womb. No surprises there. I became present with the Pray part in my 20’s. As I approach 30, I’ve been learning the Love part. Elizabeth Gilbert found my letters and read each one out loud. I’ve yet to [...]

Decadence!….A Chocolate Affair

Shelley — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 12:00:07 +0000

Fabulous. Creative. Delicious. Enticing. Decadent. Lavish. Beautiful. Valuable. Tasty. I could go on, but then I’d have to resort to some really creative language and sound effects because this English just isn’t enough to describe the time we had this past Friday at the Naturi Beauty Signature Premiere Sneak Peek Event: Decadence! Oh wait…you didn’t [...]

I’m Sorry…I Love You….Beets & Carrots

Shelley — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 15:15:35 +0000

Food has this way of redeeming itself. No matter how many times you prepare it and seemingly mess it up, you can always start over and create a new batch of goodness. It can burn, it can be too mushy, it can be too crisp, it can be too salty, it can be a bunch [...]

Heat | Desires | Mango Basil Popsicles

Shelley — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 13:45:27 +0000

Let’s face it. It’s July and it’s hot on this side of the equator. While many are fanning feverishly, running to the nearest AC or complaining of the sweat that threatens their Dominican blow out…I am creating a solution.

Kitchen Chemist: Laundry Detergent ~I Made It!

Shelley — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 13:00:25 +0000

That’s me in my newly laundered purple dress. The dress is pretty fly, but even flyer is the fact that I washed it in my own laundry powder. I’ve been wanting to give Tide and Purex the boot for a long time. They’re such polar opposites but I chose either/or based on my capital flow [...]

This Foodie’s Fears

Shelley — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 12:00:20 +0000

There’s just a path, that we either create along the way, or create before we arrive and spend a lifetime trying to find it again. Either ways, step by step, we find ourselves walking, crawling, marching, running, moseying, tip toeing [...]
