Retired Glamour Shot...

Ocean's never saw two gals more enthused for 80's night!

Fellow lovers of GG...

Folks,

Many of you probably know that Gossip Girl is one of my favorite shows(Blaire and I could rule the world with our collection of headbands). Really though, it's the only show I make time to watch these days. My friends Rae and Jam introduced me to this witty column written every Tuesday by writers from New York Magazine's online edition that assigns point values to different parts of the previous nights episode. It's sarcastic and funny and commends things true to New York and rips apart the unrealistic pieces of the plot. An entertaining read... if I do say so myself. You can find it here. Enjoy!

XOXO

Snow!?!

I got a text from a friend back in the UT earlier this week who shares my love of precipitation in the form of snow. He just wanted to tell me that the mountains got their first light dusting of the season. Could it be true? Yes, don't worry I checked. Now let's cross our fingers that there's a lot more to come because I want to ski over Thanksgiving Break!

Thank You Utah... (and my Mom)

I am a member of the Snow Club at FIT. Granted, they could have come up with a better name but the club is legit. We go on a week long trip to Colorado every year and then take two East Coast weekend trips as well. Needless to say, it's loads of fun. A large portion of the costs are covered by the schools student association but we do have to raise some money too. Our preferred method of fund raising is through bake sales. Coming from Utah, I never thought these things would really make money because you could just go home and your mom probably had something delicious waiting at home. Not the case in NY. The students and faculty at FIT can't get enough. No lie. Especially if the goods are home made.

Every bake sale I make something to contribute. This time around I went with this fab Snickerdoodle recipe from Allrecipes.com. People LOVED them. I made enough to bring to the volleyball girls too and they got devoured in no time. Every time people are shocked that they are made from scratch and that they aren't deformed, burned, or otherwise unappealing. I contribute my ability to cook/bake to growing up in Utah(and my mom) where you were always making something to bring to school or a church activity and items made from a box or bought from the store just weren't acceptable.

Now if only I could make money off of this skill....
