A NYC Magical weekend

This pass weekend Mr. B and I decided to head into the city to walk around, shop and grab some street eats. It was so fun and there was just something magical about it. I took my camera along to photograph somethings. I am pretty sure we walked 40 blocks that day. Pretty awesome.

This is what greeted us right outside of Penn Station. Lots of people, cabs and billboards.

The next stop H & M, how cool is this light fixture. I really wanted it !

Next up Lush. Have you been? If not find one in your area and get there asap. It's amazing and all the products are great. I ended up getting sugar lips scrub and hand gurugu

Here are the handmade soaps they offer too. Never tried but I hear they are amazing too !

Next up Bryant Park. It was a first for me and Mr. B... weird right? This time of year they have their own beautiful tree and cute holiday shops. It was very fun. Here is a picture of the trees because yes, there are trees in spots of NYC.

I think the tree in Bryant Park is way prettier then the one in Rock Center. This one even has ornaments and is accessible. So very cool.

And a little closer :

There were a lot of cool shops. I didn't take pictures of most of them but this was super cool outside the Coat of Arms shop

Here is the Empire State building peaking through the trees from Bryant Park.

And one from the street

So next up the famous 53rd & 6th food card. Amazing Gyros. On our way up St. Patricks Cathedral

And along the way the amazing windows at Macy's. They were beyond cool




As we headed back down to Midtown we stopped at the Rock Center tree. Let me tell you chaos ! It felt as if I was marching in place at points because no one was moving.

Here is some more holiday decor through out the city




On our way back up Mr. B met a tin man =) I did have a video of this but it's very weird and sideways lol

Here is Christie's auction house. Mr. B had no clue why I was even taking this picture. I guess I watch too much of The Today Show.

Liz's stuff was in there on auction and all her pictures were outside, here is one.

Here is us =)

And it was Santacon. For those who don't know what that is, well it's a bar crawl where people dress up as Santas or holiday themed things. We saw many Santa's and most were drunk as skunks lol ! Here is a line of them outside a bar. Looks like I caught someone mid kiss too.




And I don't know if this will work, but it was a cool guy playing Christmas music on a sax. I have a soft spot for a sax...

Some plans come undone...

This seems to be the theme of our lives lately but it also fit in to the semi decorating reno I wanted to do in our downstairs bathroom/laundry room. And see that was the question, is it a bathroom or is it a laundry room or heck, is it both? I decided to embrace it and decorate around it being a laundry room. I planned on painting the walls gray and one day I will get around to it. But for now I just used the decorations I had come up with to change it up a bit. Here is the before. And the after... We removed the verticals and hung a valance that we had, we had changed the light fixture months ago to make it flow better with the one above the sink. We also changed the hardware on all the cabinets to silver instead of bronze. We also added a shelf to go above the washer and dryer. This way all the soap, fabric softener and bounce sheets had a new home. I then added decorations that went with the theme of a laundry room. Believe it or not this old washboard was in our shed. Looks like ...

Lipstick messages

Yesterday was my birthday. Nothing fabulous. At this point of my age, it's just another year older. Nothing monumental, not a new decade, nothing to go crazy about.... But it got me thinking about when my sisters and I were younger, (and anyone else who may have lived here from time to time) my mom would write lipstick messages on our bathroom mirror. Most of the times it would say "Happy Birthday" to us. And if I was having a terrible week , it would be something encouraging like "I love you, have a great day." Well, I definitely miss my lipstick messages. I wish when they were written, we had Facebook or Instagram. What a cool thing to have captured. Here is a picture of what one may have looked like, not ours, but similar.

It's no secret...

that our bodies can do amazing things. Especially us women. It's also no secret that we are almost suffocated with the image of what the "perfect "woman should look like. Does that person really exist in life without a cook, maid, personal trainer, butler, life coach, plastic surgeon, etc. etc? Who knows. What I do know is this, I have seen beautiful women in my life, many of them. And guess what? They are not what are in those photo-shopped magazines. They are just simply beautiful. When we make the decision to have a baby, of course we wonder what is going to happen to our bodies? Will we gain 200lbs? We will get stretch marks? Will we be able to lose the weight we gain? And maybe some don't even worry because they are just happy with being pregnant. For me, I was happy to be pregnant. I was overweight to begin with and my first trimester was a doozie. I ended up losing weight then(don't worry I gained it back) But I didn't gain too much because I had...
