Summer and Central Park Part 2

If you are in desperate need of a tan, don't go to a spray tan salon. We have been making some research because we wanted to go get a spray tan and we found out that it is expensive and it only lasts for 2 weeks, so we decided to save that money and go buy a bronzer and take advantage of the weather!

Central Park is the best place to go get a tan. It is nice, you are outdoors and you can go get food at whole foods and then have a picnic while getting a natural, cheaper tan.

I was also contemplating doing a mayor makeover and be a redhead! So Leila(who got her hair done and looks like a really hot Drew Barrymore now) did our research and went to this salon called Rita Hazan Salon! It is amazing, everyone was super nice and professional.
Nicole who was the girl doing our makeovers told me that readhead was not the best option for me which I appreciated, I prefer honesty than looking crazy! But she did a treatment on my hair which is called the Brazilian Blowout that makes your hair silky and stops the horrible frizz that all women hate. She also does EMMA STONE'S hair!! Isn't that amazing!!!

Anyway that is all for now but next week I will post new discoveries and experiences that hopefully you will find useful. Also we plan on visiting some of the restaurants that adam richman from man vs. food visited in NY so we'll see what happens! (exciting stuff, I know!)

Summer and Central Park Part 1

So many things to tell and so little time to do it! This past few weeks I have been having such a good time here in New York that I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to be devastated when it's time to go home in 2 weeks. 2 WEEKS!!!!!

Leila and Lara are 2 of my best friends and I have to say that they have changed my life. They are amazing I wish I could describe them but they have so many colors and so many interesting and positive atributes that I would fail to comunicate to you all how amazing they are. I guess you will have to meet them some day. Although I know Leila is going to be a famous director and Lara a famous actress so I'm pretty sure that in a few years you will know who they are. Together we have discovered many good things about NY and this are a few of the things I think are amazing and you should try if you come to the city for a few days.

First stop is Chinatown! On Sunday go to this little place called: Shanghai Asian Manor (21 Mott Street, New York, NY 10013) We had many things but my favourites were the steamed buns, the fried jumbo shrimp w.fruit sauce and the sliced chicken w broccoli(this I'm not sure if that's what it's called but it is the picture in the menu and is fried and amazing!!!!We had a lot of food and it was super cheap!

Next stop: Little Italy!! Go and buy small cannolis! Best thing ever and soo cheap!

If you are in the mood of Pizza and a movie go to Two Brothers Pizza. I swear is the best pizza I have had in my entire life(well not true, my nanny makes the best pizza). The size is perfect and all the ingredients are fresh and soft and delicious!

If you are in the mood for some cheap shopping go to strawberry or forever 21. So chic and cheap! Both stores are amazing! I  like Forever 21 more but that is just because it is more my style.

Just an other day

 Lately I've been wondering if it's possible to live without regret? Not just regret about silly decisions like eating to much or wearing a horrible outfit that you thought it was soo cool at the time and it turn out to make you look like you were living in the 80's. But regrets about important decisions that can change the course of your life forever. 

How can we be certain that what we choose today will lead us to the right path that will make us happy in the future? How are we supposed to choose what we want to do for "the rest" of our lifes today when we are only 20 years old and we don't know absolutely nothing about life? Is this why so many people live miserable lifes? Is this why they are so unhappy when they grow old? Why they loose all their passion? Or is it that "normal" people don't dream so big? Do they think they are settling or is just the logical thing to do? Be born, grow up, get married, have children and die.

One thing I do know now. It's though making decisions but it is the only way to grow and live in the present. And I also believe that if you are strong enough to take a risk and make a difficult decision you won't regret it because you will feel liberated and that at least you took a risk and didn't settle.

Star Style

I'm totally diging Ashley Greene style in this picture. I think the red tomato jeans are amazing and the way she styled it works perfectly. I am putting together a list of summer buys I need to do before I go back to London and this trousers are definetly in it. So if anyone knows where I can get them please elt me know via Facebook or a comment or even an e-mail.

International Delight Cafe

This week my friend Lara invited us to go to her house in Long Island. We went to the beach and then had dinner in her house. It was amazing!!!!!!!! But part of the trip involved going to her family's restaurant where the guy from Man vs. Food went to eat ice cream!!!!!!!!

And believe me they had the best icre cream I have ever tried in my entire life. My favourites where: Doble Dough, Nutella, Elephant(which was a mixture of vanilla ice cream with peanut butter and cookie dough), Cake Batter, Rainbow Cookie, Vanilla Fudge!!!

And let me tell you that wasn't even half of all the flavours I tried. I had such a good time and I will definetly go back there when I have the chance. So if you are in New york and you want to try the best ice cream, take a train which is not very long or expensive and go to The International Delight Cafe!!!!
What flavour would you like to try???

The Normal Heart

Sooo many good things to tell this week! But first I want to tell you about a play I saw called "The Normal Heart". 

The story of a city in denial, THE NORMAL HEART unfolds like a real-life political thriller—as a tight-knit group of friends refuses to let doctors, politicians and the press bury the truth of an unspoken epidemic behind a wall of silence. A quarter-century after it was written, this outrageous, unflinching, and totally unforgettable look at the sexual politics of New York during the AIDS crisis remains one of the theatre’s most powerful evenings ever. It has received five Tony nominations, including Best Revival of a Play and Best Director for Joel Grey and George C. Wolfe. (source: www.thenormalheartbroadway.com)

It is one of the most amazing plays I have ever seen. Incredibly moving! It makes you realize how people suffered and is still suffering from AIDS and the many obstacles that this disease brings along. It also made me realize that the fight is not over, people are still facing difficulties to get treatment and the medicines that they need to survive.

I recommend people to buy the play and read it, because it is not only the amazing actors in the play what makes it incredible but a very interesting and smart script which I think many people will like.

Chanel Boots

I have been lookinf for a pair of high heel boots and I have found a couple candidates that I think can work for me and my lifestyle. Of course I found the perfect pair but they are Chanel and cost 1175 dollars!!! I know!!! Tooo much. My dilemma is ..that I was thinking to go and try them on just because hahahaha. Should I? Do you think the sales man would hate me??? Questions ...questions...

Summer time and Carrie Bradshaw

It has been a while since my last post and the reason for this is because I was feeling disappointed with the way the blog was turning out. I felt that nobody was reading it!! And although it is probably true I have decided I don't care about that anymore. I will do it for the pleasure of doing it and if it happens that some people read it along the way...well good, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. It also helps that I'm in New York and I've been watching reruns of Sex and The City and it makes me feel a little bit like Carrie Bradshaw(minus the amazing wardrobe).

Many things have happened since my last post. I am no longer in London as I said before. I spent a month in Mexico and now I am doing the most amazing thing I have ever done in my entire life. I am doing an acting course at The Stella Adler Studio and let me just tell you, it has been life changing and I still have 5 weeks to go. The people here are amazing and the teachers are soooooooo good. I love it!!!  So this is it for now and for you out there that might be reading this.... What have you been up to? What has changed your life this summer? What makes you feel like Carrie Bradshaw or Samantha?
