I Luv Danny Macaroons

Being an island girl, I love me some coconuts. From Coconut Oil for my hair, Almond Joy & Mound when I’m craving a candy bar, to a Pina Colada when I’m in the mood for a drink, coconut makes everything better. A great snack dessert that I love to eat are Coconut Macaroons, and after trying Danny Macaroons, I must say I’ve probably found the best Macaroons in NYC

Black Swan

After hearing so many great reviews about Black Swan I decided to watch it this weekend, and I am glad I did. I loved this movie from start to finish, it blew me away!!! There were times when I literally scratched my head and looked at the screen in confusion, but I just knew this was part of the amazing performance by Natalie Portman.

Five Great Dates that Don’t Cost a Fortune

Dating can present a host of difficulties for those who still frequent the scene. Getting to know a new person, learning what makes them tick, and trying not to mess up a good thing by being too, well…YOU…can be a frustrating and disheartening experience. You’re going to meet a lot of Mr. or Mrs. Wrongs before you find THE ONE, and the dates you choose have the potential to make or break a prospective relationship. If you knew the person better, you could definitely come up with something to impress, at least you could if you had the cash on hand for a 5-star restaurant, roses, and a limo. Unfortunately, you may have found yourself a little lighter in the wallet since the onset of the recession (when will it end?!).

Protected by Copyscape Online Infringement Checker

Going to college can be stressful, tiring and most of all, expensive. Most students are struggling to get by paying for groceries, rent, and tuition, surviving on the bare minimum. Although having a job while taking a full load of classes can be difficult, it can also be very rewarding and help minimize your debt. Finding the perfect job to meet your busy schedule may not be easy, but when you do find the right job, you won’t regret it.

5 Most Incredible New Car Features

People often say that technology is advancing at an exponential rate (as in, our generation will generate twice the tech as our parents, our kids will generate four times as much, and so on and so forth). And if you think about it, some of the technology available for cars today would have seemed like science fiction just ten or twenty years ago.

Holiday Travel on the Cheap

One of the best parts of the holiday season is taking the time to visit family and friends, far and wide, that you may be unable to see at any other time of year. But with the price of airline tickets, hotel rooms, and rental cars at a premium, and long lines, delayed flights, and cancellations plaguing travelers during the busiest travel season of the year, contemplating leaving home, even to see loved ones that have long been absent, can be the furthest thing from your mind.

No More Over Snacking…

Do you ever sit at home and just snack on whatever you find in the fridge. Instead of pouring a bowl of potato chips, you grab the whole back and sit down and watch tv? An hour or two goes by, the show you were watching ended, then all of a sudden you realize you finished the whole bag of potato chips by yourself. This is the definition of bad snacking or snacking gone wrong.

Are You A Social Shopper?!

I am! What is your definition of Social Shopping?! My definition is using social networks while shopping and sharing great finds and asking for recommendations with your friends online. I’m a huge SocialShopaholic in a sense, I share everything with my social networks, from food, manicures, pedicures, to clothes and shoes I get, to books and other electronics, I seek for assistance from my trusted sources, Facebook, Twitter and of course my blog or other people’s blogs.

If you have any questions to ask Karen please leave a comment, but she seems to covered every question we might have:

The Night Chronicles: DEVIL (The Review)

This weekend premiered the first film of the Night Chronicles Series, Devil. As a scary movie fanatic, I support scary movies that I find to be worth my time and money. When I saw the preview/trailer for Devil, I found it to be interesting, not corny like the rest of the scary movies that came out lately, and the best thing was, that it wasn’t in 3D. It seems like every slasher/thriller, kids or action movies that come out are in 3D.

iPhone 4 – The Review

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.

Apple iPhone 4 lines, not that bad

Yesterday, around 5:30pm I made my way around the Apple Store, location: 5th Avenue to see what the line was looking like and what I’ll be facing myself with the following day. As I made my way around to take the pic and record some video, I came across the number one guy on the Pre-order line, Greg Packer. I saw him on Mashable’s video the day before, he’s the dude in the bright orange shirt. I asked him how long he’s been here, he stated since Monday.
The lines are somewhat separated, across from where Greg is sitting, is the NON reservations line, the people with no pre-orders hoping to get a phone on June 24th.
