Confessions of a shopaholic.

March 25, 2010

I failed.

I’ve been dreading telling you the news, but it’s true. I couldn’t help myself. The pink j.crew skirt was just too pretty. And then the Banana jeans were just too cool. And the gap cardigans were just sooooo classic.

I think I’ll try starting again next month. March has been hard.

I blame the warm weather.

Whatever, I’m over it. I tried.

Speak

March 23, 2010

Ok WOW this book was intense. But very good. An emotional book for young adults about a girl who’s been abused. She needs to speak up, but she can’t. An important theme, an important subject. A hard topic, but a realistic one. I couldn’t help but cry for Melinda. This book is meant for YA readers, but everyone will get something out of it. The story hooks you in from the beginning and you don’t want to put it down. A powerful book.

Some things cold and sugary and delicious.

March 22, 2010

This weekend in the Bean was beyond gorgeous. We’re talking 70 degrees and sunny. On Saturday I was wearing a sleeveless shirt. No sleeves! And I was perfectly comfortable! Heaven. I bet it’s like that in heaven. I know in my heaven it will be that’s for sure. Aaaanyways. Warm weather calls for cool treats. And I sure got my fair share of them this weekend.

Let’s start with ice cream. YUMMY yummy ice cream. So creamy and delicious and fattening. I love it. My favorite? JP Licks Oreo Ice Cream. It is devine. It’s literally like mushed up oreos and milk. The taste is indescribably spectacular. Superb. Fabulous. Ok, ok.. you get it.

Next up? Smoothies. Oh, fruity smoothies you are so good.

Berry Freeze is the newest frozen yogurt joint to hit Coolidge Corner. This phenomenon has been around NYC for a few years, but we over here in Boston– we lag a bit with the trends. It’s a great idea though and I’m glad it’s finally caught on over here… makes you feel slightly less guilty as opposed to eating ice cream. But still, only slightly. They have an amazing fruit bar filled with glorious amounts of fruits and nuts and sugary cereals and CHOCOLATE.
