Total Recall
Tried a new moisturizer tonight - ReVive Renwal Cream- and instantly I recognized the very distinct citrusy scent…EPCOT’s Horizons ride (www.horizons1.com) from the late 1980’s. You know, the one about futuristic farming and alternative bio-spheres where you picked your own ending… Well this cream is what the inside of the ride/exhibit (especially the waiting area) smelled...
Women Small Business Owners More Optimistic, Earn...
I’ll come work for you J.

newpowergirlsss:
According to a recent survey, women small business owners are more optimistic about the future than men. That’s good news — we own 2.6 million companies in the country (34 percent of which are small businesses). When you think about it, we’ve got the power to make a pretty big impact. While women owned ventures are usually smaller...

– BBC NEWS |Status update: Who cares?
Been having a running conversation about this element of social media a lot lately. Why do we do this self-promotion? To convince ourselves that life is going well? To convince others? To make others feel badly?
I definitely have a few “boasters” on...

Tripit vs. Dopplr? I’ve used Dopplr (a site that allows you to share your travle plans and track your journeys) for a while but now I see Tripit everywhere. The idea behind Tripit is that you forward all of your confirmation emails to them (in addition to trip sharing) and they create one large itinerary document. I’m not sure how I feel about a 3rd party - likeTripit - having all my...

But you don't have to take my word for it...
There have been a few “blumblings” (my new word for blog mumblings/rumblings- just decided this) today about a very funny twitter feed “Sh*t My Dad Says”. Basically a 28 yr old guy who tweets quips from his 73 year old dad. Fun idea.Old people (like those darn kids) can definitely be hot beds of entertainment when it comes to things they say. One thing, however, stikes me a...
Sunday Night Dilemma
Do I go to bed at a decent hour so I am well rested for Monday or do I stay up to 3am watching a channel Thirteen special on an archaeological dig currently taking place at historic Jamestowne? Guess which one I chose. Cool stuff.
Apparently the exact footprint of the first Jamestown fort -James Fort- has officially been discovered along with a 12ft by 14 ft well (believed to be the first of...

– The New Age of Travel - Condé Nast Traveler
Interesting article. I have developed an insatiable travel bug recently and would love to get out of NYC and explore a bit over the next few years (or do a program as part of a grad degree abroad - probably the only way I could do such a thing- France...
NEW VENTURE ADVENTURES
I’m reaching out to you ML readers, since you probably know me better than I know myself. I really want to start up another blog (keeping this one of course) that is single topic focused and not just entertainment for my 10 friends. I feel like everything has been covered already. What should I blog about? What odd obsession do I tend to talk your ear off about? What do you want to read...
help I'm bored →
The company is really for selling basic health remedies (ie. headaches = ibuprofen, allergies = loratadine) in really cute packaging, but they also have an amusing section of their website called simply “help i’m bored”. If you are bored, go play.
“Help Remedies was created to make solving simple health issues simple. We find the best solution there is, and take away...

If this marketing gig does not pan out, I think I will focus on Zombies. Didn’t know there was such a market in need.

Unique announcement..before we board can all passengers please wash hands and refrain from eating any snacks with peanuts. 1 passenger has a severe allergy.
Delayed
So frustrated. With all the traveling (Am. Sp) I have done in the last few years (including international) the ONLY place I ever seem to encounter flight delays/cancellations is in and out of Chicago. And once again I am sitting in O’Hare, going on hour 5, eating salty food, running out of iPhone battery power and just waiting for the announcement to come that the flight is either delayed...

Kitchen Experiments
I actually tried a recipe (if you even call it a recipe) that I saw on the “Today Show” - watermelon, tomato & arugula salad- tonight for dinner. Though it may sound like an odd combination, it’s really simple ( just thow the melon, tomato, arugula in a bowl) and quite yummy when dressed with a little balsamic vineagar & salt. This in no way means that I will start...

My new favorite site! Even better I know the blogger (wink). Please check it out and indulge your love of criminal investigations, law (and in my case the macabre)…
