Quick Boost 101: Wheatgrass Energy Shot
Do you need a Boost of Energy!!!!! Starbucks has a wheatgrass shot that is said to give you the extra energy needed to get through the day. At my job, we have a mini Starbucks that sales them for 1.99. I was told that it gives you all the vitamins and minerals needed for the day. Most people add it to a smoothie or with juice, but Ashley was bold enough to take it in a shot form. It may look a little unappetizing, but try it out and tell me what you think!!!!! They can also be purchased at any organic food store and other retailers like:
Whole Foods
Ellwood Thompson
Jamba Juice
Smoothie King
Testing 101: Friendships, a Love Story!
I had a good friend last week, tell me and Jeri, that we weren't really true friends because our relationship hadn't been "tested". Tested? We both looked at each other in confusion, and asked him what he meant. He said, "You guys have never been through anything, and had to recover from it and see if your relationship could stay afloat. Me and Jeri looked at each other still confused, "Do you mean like, punch her in her face, and see if she will get over it? If we get through that, then we are "real friends"? Mind you, Jeri and I have known each other for the better half of six years, and if the relationship hadn't been "tested" we thought that was amazing! To go through six plus years without having and hurdles to jump. That's a milesone. Right?
A friend should now what boundries there are, and which bridges not to burn. Knowing these things, better yet knowing your friend, allows you to avoid "testing", the friendship. So after and hour of debating this, we came to a conclusion that our good friend had a skewed view when it came to friendships. When we saw skewed, we mean, that he hasn't had the time a friendship in which he could have someone to go to in he was in a pinch, or needed advise, or just wanted to annoy. If, he did try to reach out, there was a busy signal on the other end or text awaiting a reply. There comes a point when is a great friendship is not worth testing it to see how far you can push someone off the edge, but to know the distance you have come and to know you got there without any detours.
Do you think friendships must be tested in order to validate the relationship?

Luxe Effects 101: New Essie Nail Polish
I am a creature of habit, and paint my nails every Sunday evening. While painting my nails is a weekly ritual, using a snazzy new color that is out of my comfort zone is not. This week I used my new Essie nail varnishes! I've had my eye on Essie's new luxe effects nail polish range,especially after stalking it on a few beauty blogs. While it was a close call, I chose, "shine of the times" (luxe effect top coat), reminds me of Auroa Borealis. I also opted to go with a nude color, "topless and barefoot", which is a creamy pinky tan color. Here is how it came out...
above: (in front) "shine of the times" luxe effects top coat by Essie

This is the finished product...hard to catch all the magic, but try it for yourself!!!
**I also managed to get this buy one get one free at my local Walgreens, not bad for an $8 manicure!!!**

Beer Tasting 101: Light to Dark
Being that I am the best wife ever!!! I gifted my husband for Christmas tickets and a trip to go see his favorite team, Michigan play at the Sugar Bowl.
Date: January 3, 2012
Place: New Orleans, LA
While we mindlessly wondered the streets, we managed to stumble across a local brewery and stopped to taste the hoppy delights. I opted for the beer sampler. For me, the best route to take when sampling beers is to go from light to dark. This ensures you give all the beers a fair chance and ratethem fairly!We know all beers are not created equally, but hey, they all deserve a fighting chance.
I wish I could remember the names of each brew, but as beer would have it, I can't recall much of the outing. On the bright side, here's a pretty picture.
