Foodie Friday: Boucheron NYC

As the temps heat up who wants to cook or even grill? So, after a day of shopping, I went to the Time Warner Center in Columbus Circle to Boucheron NY. The dinner was so delightful, fresh mix field greens, then I had salmon with crispy skin, flashed blanched garden peas and wonderful mushrooms. Of course ice water and I skipped on dessert. But if you are ever in the NYC area this is a must for restaurant list. Cheers to good and healthy summer time eating.

Summer/ Early Fall Wedding Season Trends

Congrats to everyone who has found true love, we at Positivexpert believe in it! Here is what we came up with for the season. Bridal Shower Ideas: Create a "This is Your Life" movie for the bride with her historic moments and with her courtship to her fiancee. Have the Mother of the Bride present the bride with a special heirloom and speech at the shower. Create a Lingerie Show where her fiance picks out great pieces for the honeymoon, arange it as a trunk show, then tell her she can only pick one piece. When her fiance shows up, he tells her that is one of his surprises all of the lingerie is for her. Triva Pursuit Anyone--Create a trivia game for the Bride based on what you know of the couple, where did they first meet, first date, etc. Have the women of the grooms family present her with a "Welcome to the Family" a book of his their traditions, recipes, who gets to host which dinner, what does it mean when they say certain things. Instead of Gift C

There Are Exceptions: Sports World

Everyone in the United States has heard about the horrible comments that a NBA owner has made and now a popular owner who is somewhat of a media personality. However, I was in Rockerfeller Center the night of the NFL Drafts and every media outlet was there, the loyal fans, the team owners, you knew this was an exclusive event. Then, when I was sitting in the plaza of Rockerfeller Center, I noticed a group of men, these men were clearly homeless, but as I looked closely they all had NFL Access landyards and was eating the sponsors pizza--Pappa Johns. The men were happy and talked football as though they should have been commentators. All of the men were allowed to into Radio City Music Hall, where the event was taking place and as they entered the frenzy of the event. I thought to myself whomever gave these men these passes and allowed them to feel an ounce of human dignity, out shadowed the negativity of the blanant and covert ill that unfortunately plagues this society.
