For the longest time, whenever I went to the nail salon (I like to go to Best Nails in Long Beach), I would select an OPI color. I guess I migrated over to the OPI colors because I like the shape of the bottle. It looks like expensive nail...
Pinterest? What’s All the Craze About?
If you are online, then I’m sure you’ve seen an invitation from one of your friends to join Pinterest. On the day I signed up I had more than 10 requests so I decided to check it out. And, once I did, I got hooked! Pinterest is a new social...
I Met the Owner of the Arizona Diamondbacks
My family and I were at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick watching the Arizona Diamond Backs practice for spring training. They were doing drills and strategizing different plays. We found it quite fascinating, especially to see the players up close and personal! As we were standing, watching the pitchers...

Is the English Language Evolving?

A Tat U?
I love tattoos. When I saw my first tattoo as a kid, I was frightened. “What is that?” I asked my mom. But it was always in front of the person and my mother would shush me to stop talking. As I got older in my teens, twenties and thirties,...
Are we in a race?
Are we in a race? What’s the Hurry? I drive a lot. I find myself driving into and out of the city on most days and then back and forth from my Melville office. I actually love driving in Manhattan. I feel like driving is a virtual reality video game...
What’s for Dinner?
Every day, my family or I ask that question and I find it daunting. I find it so hard to plan. How do I know what to eat for dinner at 6 am in the morning? So I asked my friends on Facebook, what they had for dinner and was...
