Live in the Present


This actual moment is what should matter the most to you. Not the past. Not the future. This real time moment. 

We tend to act based on past issues or feelings. If we were in a current, present, moment. Things would be much more different. We would act and react differently. This current. Present moment. Is your life. 

What Melts Your Heart?


We all agree when men are with their kids and are good dads it’s extremely attractive. I was with a friend and he said he was going to drop off ornaments he made over weekend with his daughter and her friend. I swear my heart just melted. I couldn’t believe it. Sounds silly but how many men do crafts with their kids? Normally it’s moms. He laughed but I said that was absolutely adorable. 

One thing my ex was great at was decorating for holidays or taking kids to see lights. I always loved when men let their kid out in them too. Not acted like a kid there’s a difference. Let’s give men credit when credit is due. Let’s also know that men in our lives can do little things that melt our hearts even if it’s not something they are doing for us. Be sure to compliment them. Who doesn’t appreciate a good compliment? What melts your heart?

What Makes Your Heart Happy

Choose Happiness...Choose You



I wish 2020 brings you everything 2019 didn’t I said to someone today. 

Think about it. What didn’t you get. What did 2019 teach you? What situations did you learn from. I will tell you I wouldn’t repeat this year. I learned. I grew. I experienced but I know better now. I know what’s for me and what’s not. I learned being alone is always a lot better than settling. I learned a lot of people don’t believe pure love and happiness is real and that makes me sad. That people think all good things have to come to an end when they don’t. What has to happen is decisions have to be made. When you want something in life you have to give up something for it. 

Choose happiness. Choose you. Everything else is a bonus.

Your Happiness Depends On You


It’s hard at times. We can blame others or situations but it’s up to you. Turn it around.

If It’s Meant For You


If it’s meant for you it will be yours. Simple. Easy. Not complicated. Not hurtful or painful. Just simple, fun, easy, happiness. 

Life isn’t meant to be so complicated. Yes it has ups and downs but being with someone, sharing a life with them, should not be work or painful or misery or sadness. It shouldn’t make you on edge or not feel enough. It’s suppose to compliment and enrich your life. 

Taco Daddy in Stamford CT


I never heard of this place so I love trying new places. When a friend suggested we eat here I was all for it. I didn’t expect it to be this nice inside. It’s in the Fairway plaza. Huge inside. It’s decorated really nice for the holidays. Had darts and other fun games in an area with a DJ and dance floor. 

The bar area is separated from the dining area which is fun for a different type of vibe. The chopped salad was really refreshing. Apples, peppers, celery served with grilled chicken. The staff were really friendly. They sort of messed up on my drink and brought over another one really fast on the house. Their tacos are small but filled and filling. I tried the mushroom and cod. Both really tasty. 

I love trying new places and love spacious venues. I especially loved it wasn’t planned and just a “hey wanna try this place”. Of course I do!

My favorite part was the hallway to the restrooms filled with art. Very hip. 







Not Getting What You Want...Be Ok With It

“Not getting what we want, when we want it, is one of life’s hardest lessons to learn.” 

I saw this quote in an article I came across and it’s sad but true. Good situations teach us things but the true lessons come from the hurtful situations. 

It’s going to teach you things. Be patient. You will one day find out why. You always do.

Solutions Not Problems


At any moment in time you can fight to not accept things for what they are. You can try to change it but if it doesn’t work acting ok isn’t going to fix it. Some things you can’t change. You can change how you will handle it. Sometimes letting it go helps you forget and move on. 

History doesn’t change. What’s done is done. You have the power to move forward. What you can change is how you handle things in the future.

Insomnia Cookies



So what’s the big deal about these...they deliver you cookies until 3:00 am. The history is really cool. Started out in a guy’s dorm room. Really clever. So I have been seeing this place every time I went to New Haven and finally gave it a try. 

You walk in and it smells amazing. The price isn’t bad at all. 3 cookies for $5.26 or 6 for $9.99. They are warm and gooey and delicious.

Our Holiday Fun Night...Happy Holidays To...

Every year my sister and I go out as a gift for Christmas. We don’t exchange gifts but I do make her a bag of presents from “Santa” for her to open on Christmas Morning. She buys for my kids. I am her Santa. It’s a fair exchange. 

So we always try to go someplace fun. Dinner and drinks or wherever we end up. 





A friend told me about HOME Restaurant in Branford so we started there. It felt like “home” inside. The bartender was awesome. The chef came out and spoke to everyone. Delicious. We even tried an awesome drink with chocolate and limoncello. We ordered their beef stragonoff egg rolls. This was amazing. They were huge. Swiss cheese and the meat was so tender. With a side of gravy for dipping. 


So good and not greasy at all. 

Then we ordered the hummus. All homemade and fresh. Really delicious and super tasty. 


Great place. You can tell a ton of locals go there. Front room had couches you can sit at to eat. In the back it had more dining tables. I always love sitting at the bar. You mingle with other people. There is plenty of parking across the street. Really great place. 


This year I wanted to go to Miracle in New Haven. I had a ton of fun at the Pop up Holiday bars in New York City and wanted to see what was local. As soon as we walked up I smiled. 


It was so fun inside. Everyone super friendly and helpful. The menu had so many fun different drink options. I love New Haven and walking around. Last night was raining so the crowd wasn’t too crazy when we got there. It was perfect. The egg nog was delicious.  Spiked of course. Every cocktail came in a special holiday glass. So creative. 







After we stopped in one of my favorite spots,

Elm City Social. I love it here. They didn’t have the igloo seating due to the rain but still was decorated really nice and I am a huge fan of their back room. 










We definitely have been enjoying the holiday season. I hope you have too! What’s your favorite spot been?

Enjoy YOUR Time

Your Body Is Your Temple



Relax



Slow down. Just enjoy the process. We get inpatient and well when that happens we overthink and hurt ourselves or get disappointed. Relax. Don’t rush things. It’s all meant to happen if it’s meant to happen.

Heal Within


When our mentality isn’t right we tend to neglect our bodies. Think about it. When we over indulge in little life’s pleasure usually means we are fulfilling a void or a need within....mentally. Which costs us to hurt our bodies. Whether we smoke, eat bad, drink or people
who take pills or do drugs. 

It may take the edge off or help us not deal with certain issues or situations. It masks it. It may “relax” us or help us cope. It may be a distraction from our “reality” Bottom line it’s causing harm to our bodies. What we think it’s fixing is actually doing the opposite. 

I have noticed while using My fitness pal to track my exercise and diet that I consume an abundance of Vitamin A and C.  Mostly from eating peppers and kale twice a day. I noticed my body healing. Feeling amazing. 

When I was overwhelmed this week I didn’t go to the store to get these items. My mood shifted. I didn’t feel right. I was crabby and short tempered. When I went back to my diet or healthy eating style it shifted back again. 

Now I am not saying it could be it. I am saying our bodies and mind control us. But they must be aligned. We must have a healthy mind to have a healthy body. These vices mask and cause damage. We can heal ourselves if we treat our bodies correctly.  We must heal our minds to have healthy bodies. You always see signs that say you can eat right and exercise but if your mind isn’t right then you are actually causing a lot of damage. 

Be good to yourself. Your mind and body. 

Be Nice Just Because
