Born of Dominican descent, Arie Rich is a New York City resident for over 20 years. As means to keep up with the pulse of New York City, Arie Rich coined the phrase “Keep Me Posted.” Shortly after, the phrase developed into KMPBlog.com. Her creativity and interest in paying it forward lead her to planning and attending a myriad of events which promote and encourage unity across the blogosphere.
The latest big screen adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s romance saga picks up pretty much where New Moon left off. The tween soap opera works the love triangle between Bella (Kristin Stewart), Edward (Robert Pattinson), and Jacob (Taylor Lautner) to a fever pitch while an army of young vampires grows in Seattle.
Action star Bruce Willis and ace comic Tracy Morgan play bickering-but-got-your-back Brooklyn buddy cops. Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy) directs the gritty, goofball goings-on as the guys hunt for a stolen 1952 mint-condition baseball card, a hunt plunging them into a gunslinging war with a deadly drug ring.
Getting into debt is always easier (and generally more fun) than digging your way out of it. You sure loved those little ankle boots when you bought them on credit (only $100 on sale!) but now that they’ve been sitting in your closet for three months, you’re beginning to wonder if they’re really worth the exorbitant amount of money you’ll end up paying in interest for them (you suddenly realize that they’ve cost you almost double what you thought…ouch).
Every Friday I’ll post some really great blogs around the internet for that week. Below are some I came across this week. I hope you all enjoy it! Go show your love!
I enjoy useful, efficient apps that have a purpose, actually a lot of the apps on my iPhone I keep them because if their usefulness and functionality. Below are my Top 5 iPhone Apps:
Similar to Spa Week, there’s a week for food!
NYC Restaurant Week starts this week and ends next weekend
7/12 – 7/25
Lots of days to try lots of food!
The list of participating restaurants is insane, there’s something for everyone.
What’s better than Summer?! A spa filled Summer!!
I don’t know about you but I love me some Spa treatments, from Deep & Steamy to Fresh Air facials with Magical Micro from Euphoria Spa to a hot stone couples massage. I love to be pampered! Who doesn’t?!
If you’re like most people who have owned stocks for at least the last few years, then you probably got hosed as the market fell (apparently the term “crash” does not apply, regardless of the similarly catastrophic outcome). Many Americans pulled out of the race completely (some not by choice) as the stock market plummeted, and some never went back.
Need I say more?!
Yup, every year there’s a free Slurpee day at 7-Eleven.
Always on 7/11
So go get yours now!
Happy 7-Eleven Day!
Like most people, you’re probably looking to get away for the summer. The kids are out of school and the weather is finally warm enough that you find yourself looking out your window longingly and wondering what the heck you’re still doing in front of that computer screen. But with the economy in a perpetual state of recession, you may have to face the fact that your yearly trip to Hawaii must be put on hold. Don’t fret yet.
Buying a first house can be an exhilarating experience. However, that feeling can quickly disappear when thoughts then turn to furnishing your new home and you realise how little spare cash you have left! Fortunately, there are some easy ways to make that first house a home without compromising the budget.
A Single Man is based on a novel by Christopher Isherwood, and Ford’s–and Firth’s–gift is bringing the inner-turmoil world of the novel to believable, and devastating, life on the screen. Firth may be best known as a dashing romantic-comedy hero (Pride and Prejudice, the Bridget Jones films), but in A Single Man he demonstrates nuance and depth that will stay with the viewer long after the film is over.
Even though Christmas is still months away, and thoughts of mistletoe are the furthest thing from your mind as you laze away the long days of summer by the pool, it’s never too soon to start planning for the busy holiday season. Years past have found you scrambling to come up with those last-minute gifts and fighting desperate moms in the frozen foods section for the one and only ham left in the whole city on Christmas Eve. But picture this instead: come December, all of your gifts are bought, wrapped, and stored neatly in the closet.
If you are a frugal person like myself you probably think that the iPhone is an indulgence that is simply not in the budget. While the initial investment in it is costly, over time the iPhone can actually save you money. By figuring out which of the applications can help you cut costs and find the best deals, your iPhone will quickly become a budget boon rather then a budget buster. Listed here are some of the top money saving applications that you too can use to save money.
I can just imagine the meeting where this idea was thought up:
Suit One: “Can we stick ads on the back of people’s heads?”
Suit Two: “I’m pretty sure that’s harassment.”
Suit One: “Wait! I’ve got it. We’ll stick them on license plates! That’ll be even more distracting!”
If you aren’t on the social media bandwagon, then what are you waiting for? Social media and Twitter in particular is a must-do, especially if you are a website owner who wants to increase your exposure and bring more traffic to your site. The truth is that anyone who is anyone is tweeting, friending, updating, and broadcasting their content and personal brand – if you’re not participating on these sites, you’re not going to be considered credible (exception: you are already famous and are not using social media as a statement).
Chris Brown did an AMAZING tribute to Michael Jackson for the BET Awards this weekend. It left me speechless, I get goosebumps watching it. This is the tribute they should’ve done last year when Michael passed away. If Michael is watching he would be proud. Chris you did well!
Most of us are never going to be extraordinarily wealthy. It’s that simple. Chances are we might save up a bit of money from time-to-time but we probably won’t be able to afford a Ferrari or a big ‘ol mansion. It’s even harder to accumulate large sums of money if you’re born into a family that is struggling to make ends meet.
Hot Tub Time Machine hits the bull’s-eye: it’s a rude, crude comedy with enough smarts and emotional sweetness to make it completely entertaining. Seeking to bring some youthful optimism back to their failed, miserable lives, three middle-aged guys–Adam (John Cusack),
Getting my new iPhone on launch was as painless as I didn’t imagine. I think the most painful thing was waiting for it to launch and leaving the Blackberry team. Arriving at the Apple Store on 5th Avenue around 1:40pm, and seeing the line for the non-preorder made me appreciate waking up early on June 15th to Pre-order mine. A lil lack of sleep paid off. The pre-order line was very short and very organized, both lines were actually.
