    NYC: Doug + Mike Starn on the Roof: Big Bambú

    If you have a chance to go to the MET in NY.. Make sure you go check out this exhibit ^_^

    Big Bambú is a growing and changing sculpture―a vast network of 5,000 interlocking 30- and 40-foot-long fresh-cut bamboo poles, lashed together with 50 miles of nylon rope. It will continue to be constructed throughout the duration of the exhibition. The first phase of the structure―measuring about 100 feet long, 50 feet wide, and 30 feet high―was completed by opening day, April 27. The artists and rock climbers are continuing to build up the eastern portion of the sculpture to an elevation of 50 feet. By summer, the western portion of the sculpture will be about 40 feet high. An internal footpath artery system grows along with the structure, facilitating its progress. The evolving state of the work is being documented by the artists in photographs and videos.

    Sobeys (grocery store) had chicken breast for $3, and I was like YEAH? YEAH!

    brown your chicken in some butter with garlic…
    then cover with a lid and let cook on medium heat
    get your spinach ready
    begin the assembling…
    I kinda wanted pizza but without all that tomato sauce… so I just used fresh tomato sprinkled with some oregano
    giving you bottom and top, or top and bottom… however you wanna look at it 🙂
    almost ready…
    pop it in a preheated oven for 15 min
    READY!
    Happy Cookin’!

    Boys who love Boys ;)

    When I first moved on to my suburban street at 4 years old, my first friends (ever, in life) were of course Chelle & then there was Paul… how we’ve all managed to remain so tight is beyond me… but either way, we have!
    With that said… Paul, and his friends, have entered an MTV contest and they are going HARD! The video below is the teaser pitch for their reality show, The Village!!! “MTV’s first gay reality series” and I am soooo excited for them; its like The Hills, but in Church Street Village. I for one would LOVE to see the drama, and I know curious minds are bouncing sooo… become a fan on their fb page, give them your ‘likes’, and FOLLOW them on twitter!!!
    It IS a contest so show your love, if they win, you can watch them every week on MTV! xoxo

    HCB# 30: OneBun Tacos??? YES!

    I did my happy dance when I found these while grocery shopping! OneBun steppin’ they’re bread up!
    I’m not a fan of bread cause I find the texture is just too i dunno… heavy, bready (is that even a word?), I dunno it’s too much for me to handle in short. But I LOVE OneBuns cause they’re light, GOOD FOR YOU, tasty, and not bready at all! OneBun Tacos? WHAT?! *doin the two-step*
    So I was like, “hmmm how do I wanna eat my OneBun Taco?” playing around with a spice blend always gets my juices flowing… I needed to come up with something SIMPLE, EASY and TASTY! a lil cumin, some thyme…hot peppers?
    For all my people that don’t eat meat, sprinkle some of your spice blend over the tomatoes, and if you want you can drizzle a lil olive oil on top.  (optional) same ingredients so much variety! tomato avocado, tomato spinach, cheddar/mozzarella/ tomato etc…

    …mmm goat cheese and cranberries are the perfect topping to a salad!
    for my meat eaters, you know I got you!
    Whatever it is that you prefer; remember, it’s easy to prepare something simple and tasty with just a few ingredients!
    Happy Cooking Lovelies!

    NYC – Givaudan

    I am on the FIDM Beauty Tour and we went to visit several amazing beauty HQ’s in NYC this week. So far, we have had action packed days and the adventure never stops.  One of the favorite places we went to visit is Givaudan – the #1 smell and taste labs in the world.

    There are about 350 ‘noses’ in the whole world that create, smell and evaluate scents – 150 of them work at Givaudan. They go to into the Amazon on blimps to capture scents of exotic flowers, tree sap and red ginger.  O_O Beats the cubicle right?

    “In order to forget, you must remember something new”
    They gave us an amazing TRENDS presentation and we talked about blogs, inspiration, art, culture and OMG smells.  I want to work here!
     Fragrance world is so amazing and believe it or not Givaudan has created all of my favorite perfumes. Dior J’adore, Ed Hardy, Harajuku, Polo Black, Marc Jacobs Lola, JLo Glow to name a few.
    From designing the bottle, to packaging, to marketing, to creating those ‘new memories’ and shaping culture..Talk about a dream job. Please please please Givaudan, let me into your mystical world!

    For the Spring/Summer 2010 collection, designer Sarah Shell was inspired by Eastern Europe’s bohemian culture. The straps, made with authentic rifle slings, can be detached to turn the purse from daytime into an elegant evening bag. “The focus in this collection is having a bag that takes you from day to night”, says Sarah. “Professional and elegant, but with a bohemian spice”.

    The Designer: Sarah Shell
    Designer Sarah Shell returned to her roots in Canada after spending several years in New York’s fashion industry. After earning her degree in Biology at McGill University, Sarah attended Parsons School of Design where she graduated with a degree in Fashion Design. While in New York, Sarah designed for Club Monaco, and then focused on buying/merchandizing at Gucci North America. It was here that she gained her appreciation for well-made luxury bags.
