Where I stayed
We only had about 75 miles to go to get to Boston and the drive went very smoothly. We had our first experience with a toll road. Pretty efficient when you have an "Easy Pass Box" on the windshield like the rental car had. We dropped the car at the airport just fine - and took a taxi to the Amtrak South Station, thinking we'd see what was in that area for hotels
Then we were directed to the concierge at the South Station. What a character Johnny was! He could multi-task like no one I've seen and he assured us not to worry... that he would find us a place to stay! He made some calls and actually did find us a room. He said it wasn't exactly a hotel, but it was run like one - and it was very nice, clean, and safe. It would be $100 a night! We wondered what we would be getting since that seemed very inexpensive for the heart of Boston but we decided to take it. We also wanted to take the Trolley tour of the city. Johnny told us we could buy a 2 day ticket... put our luggage on the trolley, which would stop in front of the station, take the tour and get off on the #15 stop, which was a few blocks from our Inn. Then in the morning, we could get back on the trolley, at stop #17 and take the rest off the tour, getting off at South Station! What a good idea. So, we got our tickets and did just that. The city tour by double decker trolley was very good. We drove past many historic sights and we actually could've got off anytime we wanted to, then gotten on another trolly to continue the tour The trolleys apparently came every 15 minutes.
The tour lasted about 2 hours and we came to our stop. It was a lovely old neighborhood with beautiful shops and businesses so we were very relieved. We walked the few blocks as directed (which wasn't easy with 5 pieces of heavy luggage), and came to the address we were given. 284 Commonwealth. It is an absolutely gorgeous old historic brownstone and it has been turned into a guest inn - but there is no advertisement or sign on the outside
We wanted to do more exploring and touring, but it was so hot here today. It got to 96 degrees! So we were happy to get out of the heat. We went into a steakhouse on the corner a couple of blocks away and it turned out it was a fabulous BBQ place. I had BBQ chicken and Larry had BBQ ribs. He had 1/2 slab, with cole slaw, fries, corn on the cob, and baked beans for only $6.95! And it was delicious food too! We'd had an appetizer and beverages and our meals and it came to only $32! Best of all, they had TV's and we watched the whole Brazil Vs Chile Soccer game!
After that, we came back to our room and decided to stay in where it was cool, watch TV and just relax. Lucky me that this beautiful old place has WiFi so I could get caught up with the blog.
Tomorrow morning we are going to get up early, walk up to the trolley stop (after getting coffee at Starbucks right across the street from the stop) and go to South Station. We are scheduled to leave for home tomorrow.

Yet Nigel Farage and UKIP are still dismissed by David Cameron as a "bunch of fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists". Clearly, this is also the view of the European Commission. Watch Farage's interventions on YouTube. As he warns, presciently as it turns out, of the economic collapse of Greece, his European colleagues sigh, smirk and roll their eyes.
Farage wears their derision as a badge of honour, proclaiming it as if he had been "let out of the lunatic asylum". Yet look who is in charge. As the stunningly eloquent Eurosceptic Dan Hannan proclaims in the same forum: " My masters, are you mad?"
Farage lacks the sophistication and polish of Michael Heseltine, who appeared on the same Daily Politics show but from the comfort of a video link. The disembodied faded matinee idol, at ease in his smart, chintzy drawing room, dismissed the euro crisis. Our future lies in Europe and of course we will join the euro, he said, weary of having to explain the obvious to halfwits. No wonder Mrs Thatcher, as a patriot, a non-appeaser and a believer in democracy, was driven mad by Heseltine.
Farage is an odd character, thick- skinned and over-excitable. He seems too gauche for Brussels, yet he understands it perfectly. This Little Englander stirring up anti-German rhetoric is actually married to a German. His plan for post-Europe is not slash and burn but pragmatic and trade-based. Britain is a great importer, especially from Germany. Will the Germans really refuse to deal with us because we did not sign up for political union?
Heseltine's reasons for sticking with Europe are mostly negative. Our banks are too weighed down with European debts for an exit. Our European neighbours might go to war with us if we are not run by one central government. We have to stick with the euro because, well, because we have to.
Until now, I have accepted the "fruitcake" view of Farage and UKIP. Far better to leave these matters in the hands of cool-headed negotiators such as Cameron than clumsy and reckless UKIP. But I no longer believe that subtlety works. We need to summon our own Big Bazooka. Surely this is the time for Boris Johnson to jump ship and join UKIP. Would not the 81 Euro rebels be tempted to follow? How is Zac Goldsmith, reportedly chastised by Cameron for his insubordinate views on Europe, bearing up? Time for him to resurrect the Referendum Party? If I have to choose between the grand assurances of Heseltine or the scrappy, froglike figure of Farage, I will not hesitate.
The fox hunt is alive and kicking
The choreographer Javier de Frutos won the Evening Standard's Beyond Theatre award for his collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys on The Most Incredible Thing, at Sadler's Wells. I asked him what he would do for the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics - he said that after Beijing we should avoid epic, and go for something charming and avant-garde. He cited the Barcelona Olympics as a good example. So I probed this cool Venezuelan-born dancer. What would be his visual image of Britain to radiate across the world? He smiled, winningly: "I would do fox-hunting."
Privacy of the very public kind
As I understand it, the Hugh Grant definition of a proper relationship between public figures and the press is as follows. Celebrities participate in an over- the-counter trade when they have a product to sell but otherwise their lives are none of anyone else's business. No one must gossip.
However, this is tricky to reconcile with the long-term brand management of couples such as Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher or Elizabeth Hurley and Shane Warne. If you are posting semi-pornographic pictures of your wife on Twitter, as Kutcher did, you can see how we simple- minded journalists become confused about yes meaning no. Now the divorce looks like producing another information spillage. Lawyers can be far more intrusive than reporters.
I am all for lines in the sand but I still need guidance when celebrities keep performing dances of the veils that are right in front of me.
Light up and feel the power
Sunday evening was the Evening Standard Theatre Awards, and the Savoy ballroom held captive the most talented, original and amusing group of people you could hope to meet. Then they vanished, like the artistic crowd in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris. Don't go! Was it all a dream?
I stood shivering on the pavement outside the hotel and cadged a cigarette from my fellow organiser Sabrina Guinness. We instantly became flames to the moths. Within seconds we were joined by Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hollander and Tom Stoppard. I don't know how anti-smokers will ever find a solution to the fact that where there is smoking, there is a party.

Pros and Cons of being a Working Woman
"One of the most courageous things you can do is identify yourself, know who you are, what you believe in and where you want to go." — Sheila Murray Bethel
Since I was a little girl, I always dreamt of being a working female. There were no second thoughts. Doing a job was the only plan I had, my only dream and I still remember the day when I got my first salary cheque. I had tearful eyes and was smiling ear to ear and I spent the entire salary in one day by getting gifts for the whole family. My most precious day till date! J
However this is not the case for every female. I see so many girls not planning to work because not everyone likes getting hands dirty after all. If there is an option of not working and still living a good life, sure, why not, by all means? But then I thought, let me jolt down few points for the young females who are still analyzing whether to go out to work and face the tough world or stay at home or not to do anything at all.
Please understand what I mean by being a working female. It does not necessarily means that you should do a job or earn money, but it means that you are building up your existence on your work, just like any other individual. It can be running a catering business from home or doing sales job or maintaining a playschool at home or running a blog or being a gym instructor or anything that you create or provide services. There are always pros and cons of everything and being a working woman has its own advantages as well as disadvantages. So here they are.
To put it in easy words, I would just say one thing. Working or not working is like walking in heels or walking barefoot. You will definitely feel pain, either of shoe bite or pebbles on road. You need to decide what do you like more, life with panache or life with ease!
Must haves in every working woman's handbag
Hello everyone, How have you been? I know it has been sometime since I posted. Have been a crazy busy month carrying my handbag and juggling between work and personal front, but finally I can find some breathing space and here I am!
We females are multi-taskers and hence we end up doing a number of chores during the day and after one week of using one particular bag, we have thousands of things accumulated in all corners and we struggle whenever we have to find one particular thing, especially small things like hair ties or loose cash. Hence I decided to put down a list of must haves which every working female must have in their purse. Infact this list can be an easy guide for every female. You can add number of things depending on your requirement, but the below mentioned things are staples in your whole day.
- Cardholder – It keeps your life easy and trouble free. Keep all your id and financial cards safe and in one place and no way of losing the card as you will always find them snug tight in their place.
- Sanitary Napkin/Tampons – We never know when these unexpected and unwanted guests arrive, hence always be prepared and you never know, you might help some other female in the restroom in times of need.
- Phone Charger – My life depends on this one thing. Can't even imagine how earth will survive if my phone goes dead for couple of hours. Hence always a place in my bag for my phone's charger.
- Hand Sanitizer – You use public transport; hold the same door handle which is touched by almost hundreds of people in one day. You use office washroom which is again used by all females. You visit restaurant and hold the menu card which is probably the dirtiest thing in the whole restaurant. It is never cleaned. This list can go on. Always keep a hand sanitizer for your regular hygiene.
- Peppermint – Never stop yourself when you want to binge on the delicious food ordered for lunch, but no one would like to do a meeting with you if you smell bad after lunch. Keep peppermint handy and toss one in your mouth when needed.
- Cosmetic Kit – Lip balm, Lipstick/gloss, compact, sunscreen, hand moisturizer – No word. All of us have this kit and we all know what kinds to keep.
- Bobby Pins & Hair-ties – My baby hair plays all kinds of games when I have a busy day or do not have time in the morning to do a proper hairstyle. Always keep some bobby pins or hair ties in your bag for the days when you want to deal with the world without worrying about hair falling on your face.
- Safety Pins & Nail Filer – Once I did not have safety pins and my kurta's underarm stitching opened without any prior intimation. I stapled both ends and survived for the day, but it was way too uncomfortable. Since that day, safety pins are staple pieces in my bag.
- Band Aid – Apart from hurting yourself, you will always need a band aid when wearing new shoes. We all have had our shares of pain with shoe bites.
- Pen – C'mon you are a working woman, you need a pen always. Never know when boss is going to call to mention some urgent list of to-dos.
- Pepper Spray – Precaution is better than cure. Hence always carry one piece of safety in your bag. I learnt it hard way that there might be more than one person who intends to trouble you and you might not be physically capable to handle more than one person. Travelling in public transport, keep this product always handy and those who will shrug off their shoulders saying that I travel by my own car, lady, you go to basement alone. Your car might decide to stop right in middle of street. You never know when emergency arrives. A safety product should always be in your bag. No matter what bag size you are using. Period!
- Pain Killers – If you have low immunity or a long day of hard work troubles you often, do get it checked with your doctor and keep your regular medicine handy. I always have Meftal in my bag for period's pains. Never know when needed. L
- Fresh wipes – Sometimes your face gets tired after long hours staring at laptop screen or you anyways feel tired after long hours of meetings. Keep fresh wipes in your bag to use when required.
- Deodorant/Roll on perfumes – A spray of your favorite perfume or deodorant lifts your spirits high and boosts your energy.
- Headphones – This is a personal choice of mine. I never leave house without my headphones. If you also love music and cannot walk a step without a bit of music in your ears like me, then keep it in your bag, always!
So tell me how many of these things you carry in your handbag and what other things you can think of that should be in our bags. Share it with all of us.
Workwear outfit – Cotton saree
The summers are getting over my head now. Its way toooo hot here in Gurgaon. The minutes you spend in this scorching heat are getting unbearable with each passing day. I sincerely hope that we get to see rains very soooon. Everyone is in desperate need of it. L
My first outfit post was a western outfit and so I decided to bring an ethnic look for the second one. I thought of kurtas and then I thought why not go for full 9yards of saree. Wearing saree is not easy for everyone, but everyone will agree that females look very gorgeous in saree. So depending on your comfort level, you may include this beautiful piece of clothing in your workwear closet. If you feel that there is too much to take care of, then you may wear it for the special occasions or ethnic dress up days in office like Diwali celebration. Remember some things take time, but then they end up making you look like an inspiration. I am sure that you will find some reason to don a simple beautiful saree.
I usually prefer soft cotton or khadi sarees since they have an earthy look that instantly makes them appropriate for the office dressing. For special events, we may also opt for simple silk sarees. Narrow border looks better. Here I am wearing a beige colored saree with blue flowers in cross stitch work. It is perfect for the hot summer days. The saree is perfect for a regular day at office. I am wearing this with a black crop top(Were you able to figure it out!)
Blouse – Please ensure that your blouse does not reveal much of your skin. The neckline should not reveal more than what you are comfortable with. No cleavage! You may also try a fusion look by wearing a plain black crop top with the saree.
Tips –
- Always tuck safety pins at all the pleats so that they stay in place and you need not worry about it for the whole day.
- Do not tie the saree too low or too high. Remember the simple rule is that your saree should cover your heels and your midriff should also be covered.
- You may check out this easy guide given below for wearing saree. It is easy and ready reference for new learners.
Personally I love cotton sarees, though I am also guilty of not wearing it often. Will share some regular ethnic looks too in coming posts. What is your most loved ethnic look. Share your thoughts. Would love to hear from you all.
And by the way, have an amazing week ahead. Keep giving your 100% and you will get the reward for sure! 🙂
Ninja Woman – Zascha Friis, A Virtual Assistant
I am starting a series of interviews with some ninja women who are doing well in their career fields and are willing to share their experiences and suggestions with other women. We will get to know about the various career options available, the challenges associated and so much insider information.
Our first topic is Virtual Assistant. It is a career option in which you offer your services to the client through telecommunications, i.e. internet and tele calls. You sit at the comfort of your home and do the same work as someone else does sitting in office. Many times there are situations in your personal life when you cannot attend the regular working hours of office, but you do want to work and there the world of internet comes to save you. You can provide virtual assistance to your client who might be sitting in some different geographical location and working in different time zones. All you need to do is coordinate and get the basic understanding of tasks and get on it.
Today I am introducing you to Zascha Friis, a ninja working woman who is having complete fun with her work and life too. She runs a blog, According to Zascha, works as a virtual assistant and is a passionate solo traveler. After reading my interaction with her, you will also feel like you too want to do it all, yourself and then feel the freedom of working on your own terms. Zascha has been working as a Virtual Assistant and she can give you a fresh view of the fascinating world of Virtual Assistant. So let's start, shall we!
Vinny – Tell us about your journey as a Virtual Assistant? Where and how did you start?
Zascha – I started looking into it in Fall last year. I'm starting my full-time travels in June this year and I knew that I would need to have an income that would enable me to stay on the road. So I was like: "How do I go about this?" I started looking for jobs, but it was like a jungle out there. There is so much competition, but luckily I don't give up easily. I kept applying for VA jobs. I kept getting rejected, but it didn't stop me. Shortly after, I landed my first VA job and I now have three long-term clients. It's all about being determined.
Vinny – What has been the most challenging part in your career as a VA?
Zascha – It was difficult in the beginning getting people to give me a chance when I had zero experience as a VA. But all it takes is that one person to believe in you and to give you that one shot and then things will start running a bit more smoothly.
The most challenging thing now is time management. You really need to want this and you need to motivate yourself. When you're working online you don't have someone constantly looking over your shoulder, so you need to be able to manage your time properly.
Vinny – Have you ever had a very challenging client? How was the experience?
Zascha – No, I have been very lucky I think. I have a good relationship with all of my clients. And no, I'm not just saying that in case they're going to read this. 🙂
Vinny – What are the most reliable platforms for a person looking to work as a VA?
Zascha – I have only ever used Upwork and that has worked well for me. Again, there's a lot of competition out there and especially on Upwork as it's the biggest freelance platform on the Internet. But it's reliable and you're secured in case something goes wrong. And once you get one or two good reviews on there, you will notice that there's a lot more interest from clients.
Vinny – What are the necessary requirements for working as a VA that client look for? What kind of jobs do you do as a VA?
Zascha – You need to want to sit in front of your laptop a lot!
I think It's important to be very fast at typing, you need to know how to manage different email platforms, social media platforms, Word, Excel, Google Docs. Basically, you need to know how to do most things. And if you don't know how to then Google is your friend. Being able to write for the right audience is important too as it sometimes involve reaching out to different people in various companies.
In my jobs I do all sorts of things. No week is the same. I reach out to people on LinkedIn, I write hundreds of emails each week, I respond the messages, I schedule meetings, I go over resumes. And the list goes on. The jobs you do really depends on your client.
Vinny – What are the unsaid rules of VA world?
Zascha – Client confidentiality. I don't mind telling people about my job as a VA, but I would never disclose exactly what kind of projects I'm working on or the name of my clients.
Vinny – What are the industry standards in terms of compensation for a VA?
Zascha – Good question! Some virtual assistants make $5 an hour; others make $20 an hour. I also think it depends on the location of the VA. I'm not going to say how much I make (sorry!), but let's just say it enables me to travel around the world comfortably.
Vinny – With so many scam websites for VA work, how can one search for one genuine, authentic one?
Zascha – As I said earlier: Google is your friend! If you're in doubt, then do research! Only ever use sites that have good reviews and that you've heard of before. And when it comes to determining whether a VA job is a scam or not my advice is this: if it's too good to be true, then it probably is.
Vinny – Zascha, tell us about yourself. What do you like the most as being a VA?
Zascha – The freedom! Without a doubt. I am able to work wherever and whenever I want. I can sleep until noon every day if I want to (unless I have a deadline!) and I can go to bed when I please. Don't get me wrong, it's not all rainbow and unicorns, but it is pretty damn close.
I've never had an interest in sitting in an office from 9 to 5 and by being a VA I will never have to.
Vinny – You also run a blog, tell us about it.
Zascha – Ah yes, my blog is my baby. I started According to Zascha back in 2014 after a breakup. I wanted to see the world and I wanted to tell people about it. I write about traveling solo on a budget. I give people tips and advice on how to do the same, but I also write personal stories so that my readers can get to know me as a person.
I've been traveling part-time up until now, but on the 22nd of June I begin my incredible journey around the world. I start in Italy and then I will be traveling from country to country until I find a place to settle down.
Vinny – Do you have a message for young girls who would like to work as a VA?
Zascha – Go for it! Get started already now. Read guides on how to get started. Talk to people who have already done it. It doesn't happen overnight, but with a lot of hard work you'll be able to get there. It will be the best decision you've ever made.
P.S – Zascha has also written an e-book about becoming a VA. Go, check it out!

American Lung Association Teams Up with Valerie Harper and Kellie Pickler to Launch LUNG FORCE, National Public Health Initiative to Fight Lung Cancer in Women
CVS Caremark signs on as national presenting sponsor to raise awareness of the #1 cancer killer of women
(May 13, 2014) - Chicago, IL
Today, the American Lung Association, in partnership with national presenting sponsor, CVS Caremark, unveiled LUNG FORCE, a new initiative to make lung cancer in women a public health priority, drive policy change and increase research funding.
According to the Lung Association's inaugural Women's Lung Health Barometer, a survey of more than 1,000 American adult women that measures women's knowledge and perceptions about lung cancer, women's awareness of lung cancer's impact is terribly low. Despite being the #1 cancer killer of women, the Barometer revealed that only 1 percent of women cited lung cancer as a cancer that is top-of-mind for them. The reality is that more than 108,000 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with lung cancer this year and, on average, less than half will be alive next year.
The Realities of Lung Cancer
The Barometer revealed 78 percent of women are not aware that lung cancer has killed more women than breast cancer since 1987. The truth is anyone can get lung cancer, even if you're part of the 86 percent of women who don't smoke. In fact, two-thirds of lung cancer cases are in those who have never smoked or have successfully quit smoking. These findings underscore the lack of awareness and the need for LUNG FORCE.
"Together we have to make lung cancer in women a public health priority and change our thinking about this disease. We hope that with increased awareness and education, women will join the fight against lung cancer and for lung health," said Harold Wimmer, National President and Chief Executive Officer of the American Lung Association. "We are proud to introduce LUNG FORCE and honored to have CVS Caremark as a partner in this new movement that unites women to stand together against lung cancer."
Introducing LUNG FORCE
In its first year, LUNG FORCE seeks to unite women against lung cancer and for lung health, and encourage them to raise their voices for change. Through nationwide efforts, LUNG FORCE will make lung cancer a cause that people care about and act on, educate and empower patients and healthcare providers, and raise critical funds for lung cancer research.
CVS Caremark Signs On as National Presenting Sponsor
As part of its continued commitment to healthy living, CVS Caremark, the national presenting sponsor of LUNG FORCE, will support the initiative via an in-store promotion throughout June. CVS/pharmacy customers will have the opportunity to contribute to LUNG FORCE at checkout with all proceeds earmarked to support the movement. Earlier this year, CVS Caremark announced its decision to remove tobacco from its retail stores.
"We are excited to be part of LUNG FORCE and look forward to spreading the word about this movement," said Helena B. Foulkes, President, CVS/pharmacy. "This partnership aligns with our commitment to help our customers on the path to better health. We believe our customers and employees will raise their voices and rally behind this important women's health issue."
Stars Raise Their Voices and Join LUNG FORCE
Lung cancer is a disease that has personally affected actress and author, Valerie Harper and entertainer and country music star, Kellie Pickler. Their experiences motivated them to join LUNG FORCE.
Harper, widely known from television as Rhoda Morgenstern, has recently become a beacon of hope and inspiration for cancer patients. In 2009, Harper was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer, and after her tumor was removed, went back to normal life. In 2013, she began to experience strange symptoms that were discovered to be an unusual metastasis of her lung cancer. Given as few as three months to live, Harper decided to set aside the death sentence, work on her treatment and go on living life as fully as possible. More than a year later, she's still hard at work, guest starring on television shows and actively sharing her cancer experience with millions of Americans. Last week, she testified in front of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Aging about cancer and called for an increased investment in cancer research funding.
"I feel fortunate that I have been able to defy the odds of this challenging disease given that my mother died of lung cancer although, like me, she never smoked," said Harper. "And while I have my newfound strength and the opportunity, I want to make lung cancer a disease that people care about and act on. Whether that's educating key decision makers or working for advances in early detection, I am committed to seeing LUNG FORCE succeed in extending and saving women's lives."
When she was 15, Pickler lost her grandmother to lung cancer just one day after she was diagnosed. Pickler's grandmother played an important role in her life and continues to serve as an inspiration for her work. In her remembrance, Pickler included a song called "My Angel" on her debut album, Small Town Girl.
"One of the hardest things I've had to experience was losing my grandmother to lung cancer," said Pickler. "Not only was she a loving, strong, and gracious person, she was also the woman that I called 'mom.' I support LUNG FORCE in hopes that others won't have to lose such amazing women in their lives."
Pickler appears alongside Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, Jewel, in the first LUNG FORCE public service announcement. The PSA calls on women to understand lung cancer's impact, share what they know with others, and join the fight at LUNGFORCE.org.
Turn Turquoise to Support LUNG FORCE
As part of the launch of LUNG FORCE and the inaugural LUNG FORCE Turquoise Takeover during National Women's Lung Health Week (May 11th – 17th) more than 90 landmarks including Niagara Falls (New York) and the Big "G" in Ghirardelli Square (San Francisco) will turn turquoise in support of the women's lung health movement. At the same time, more than 50 proclamations will be issued by government officials. Americans can show their support for LUNG FORCE by visiting LUNGFORCE.org to take the LUNG FORCE pledge, turning their social media channels turquoise and using the #LUNGFORCE hashtag when sharing posts about the movement. They can also help on the local level by joining a LUNG FORCE Walk in their area to help raise funds for research, advocacy and education.

Hi Everyone, I hope you had a lovely weekend. 🙂 Today's post is a long time coming — I'm sharing four of my must-have foundations with you!
Foundation is difficult in the sense that finding one that has a formula that you like, the coverage coverage that you need, and a shade that's compatible with your skin is downright tricky! Foundation is such a crucial part of your beauty routine…the name explains it all…it's literally the FOUNDATION for the rest of your makeup. You want to be sure that you're working with the right stuff!
Most days, I'll skip the foundation altogether or opt for a BB Cream, but some days, I need that fuller-coverage look. I have four of my favorite foundations to share with you; two pricey picks, and two drugstore options. All equally as great.
Take a peek!
1. Kat Von D Lock-It Foundation $35.00
If you didn't know, I've become a huge fan of KVD products over the last 6 months. Every time I try anything of hers, I fall in love immediately. The quality, the coverage, the wearability, I'm just repeatedly impressed. When her concealer and powder blew me away, I knew I needed to try her foundation too! To my not-so-surprise, it was phenomenal. This foundation is not for everyday (at least for me). It is so thick, so full coverage, and wears like airbrush makeup. This is my go-to foundation if I'm attending an event, if I'm going to be photographed, or if I have a long, busy day of appointments/meetings! This stuff is the definition of full coverage. It will cover, mattify, and conceal any blemishes, discoloration, or flaws you may have. I love it and I'm so glad to have it in my arsenal!
2. Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation $48.00
I had heard nothing but rave reviews about this product for years. Once I got my hands on it, I'll admit – it wasn't love at first use. After becoming more familiar with the product and experimenting with different application techniques, it has slowly climbed it's way into my favorites. It has a very thick and creamy formula, amazing coverage, and long wearing abilities. Similar to KVD, it's not something I prefer to use for everyday, but it is a wonderful option for those days or nights where you're looking to step it up! (FYI: this is an older tube, they've since repackaged!)
3. Maybelline FIT ME $6.00
I have been a fan of this foundation for years. I've tried both their Matte + Poreless and Dewey + Smooth versions. To be honest I think I like the dewey a little bit better, but this is the bottle that I currently have on hand. I adore this formula; it provides great coverage without feeling heavy at all! I love how this wears and feels throughout the day – it's a wonderful option for someone who prefers to wear a fuller-coverage product everyday and doesn't want to spend a ton of money. I highly recommend…to be honest, the entire Maybelline FIT Me line is pretty impressive!
4. Revlon Colorstay Foundation $10.00
I saved the best for last! This is my all-time favorite! It's a hands down, feet down, give it an Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, Nobel Peace Prize kind of product! Think of everything you want in a foundation… for me, this checks off every requirement on that list. First off, the variety of shades is insane; my color (330 Natural Tan) is spot on! It covers, it lasts, it makes my skin look dewey and perfect, it doesn't dry me out, and IT HAS A PUMP! Major bonus points. This is the best drugstore foundation (in my book) and a product I have become very loyal too. I don't wear this everyday, but it is light enough to do so! If you are looking for a new foundation and have never given this a shot, I cannot recommend it enough. I really don't think you'll be disappointed.
And that's it!! I love them each for different reasons; some for everyday, others for special occasions, but regardless of where and how you plan to wear your foundation… any of the above is worth every.single.penny.
What is your go-to foundation? Should I try it?!
Have you used any of these before?

You might consider that if thoughts can trigger such clear and definite physical responses as erections, blushing and, in the case of hypnosis, a total insensitivity to pain, it would be reasonable to suppose that they could affect our health as well. But no.
Doctors like to deal with what they can see and measure: a viral infection, a malignant tumour; thoughts and feelings are psychiatric territory. This, for instance, comes from an editorial in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine: "It is time to acknowledge that our belief in disease as a direct reflection of mental state is largely folklore." Or this, from another leading journal: "We have been too ready to accept that mental state is an important factor in the cause and cure of disease."
As these soundbites imply, the hardline medical view is totally at odds with the popular idea - a case of sceptical Roundheads vs woolly-thinking Cavaliers, as Martin puts it. Newspapers and magazines are awash with articles warning of the dangers to health of stress, unemployment and even moving house. And yet it's not that simple. Even among those who meditate to keep their colds away there is still a streak of Roundhead thinking which says that if your illness is going to be taken seriously then there has to be something organically wrong.
This was perfectly illustrated in the recent row over Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or "Yuppie Flu". The problem here is that although sufferers have all sorts of unpleasant symptoms - chronic tiredness, headaches, stiff joints - doctors can find nothing organically wrong with them. There is no evidence for infection and no malfunctioning organ, and so they are classified as having a psychiatric disorder. In other words, their suffering is all in the mind, with the implication of malingering or hypochondria.
This distinction between "real" and "imaginary" symptoms can be traced back, as can so many psychological misconceptions, to Freud. He distinguished between real illnesses and hysterical ones brought on by unconscious emotional conflicts - asthma as the fear of losing parental love, for example. But this is a false dichotomy, says Martin. It is silly to think in terms of either mental or physical, and to prove it he has distilled a mountain of research showing how mental states can affect our health in very physical ways.
Much of the book deals with the way stressful life events can make us ill, or actually kill us. For instance, men who are widowed in their twenties are 17 times more likely to die prematurely than their happily married fellows. On the first day of the Scud missile attacks on Israel in the Gulf war, the death rate from heart attacks rose by 58 per cent.
Even the apparently hard-nosed germ theory of disease doesn't look quite so mechanistic from this perspective. Take colds: studies have shown that only 20 per cent of those exposed to the virus in fact become infected and of those only 25 per cent develop symptoms. In other words, the efficiency of your immune system plays a big part in determining how the virus will affect you, and purely mental factors in turn, such as how in control you feel, how optimistic you are and even how extroverted or introverted you are, can all affect your immune system.
What's more, it now seems that the process isn't one-way. Not only are the brain and the main centres of the immune system connected by a dense network of nerves, but the two systems talk the same chemical language: neurotransmitters affect immune functions and immune antibodies can affect the brain. There is even a theory that schizophrenia may be the result of antibodies, generated while fighting a virus, going on to damage the brain.
So here we have a paradox. We lay people accept as perfectly reasonable the idea that there are links between stress and heart attacks, but we also want to be told there is something really wrong with us when we go to the doctor. Doctors, on the other hand, despite being able to blush and have erections like the rest of us, don't take much notice of these findings when it comes to clinical practice. Why?
What has happened is that both medics and the general public have fallen into an infamous philosophical trap. It is the mind-body problem which, to summarise 2,500 years of philosophising in a couple of sentences, asks what is the relation of the mind to the body. Are they two totally different things, in which case, how do they interact? Or are they are really only one thing? Is the body really an expression of mind, or is mind really only the body, or more specifically, the brain, at work?
Scientific medicine developed in the shadow of the French philosopher Descartes, who "solved" the mind/body problem by declaring the mind an ethereal thing, of a quite different substance to the body. At the time it was a liberating idea and medicine made enormous strides by ignoring mind and treating the body as a mechanical system. In fact, until even 10 years ago, it wasn't just medics who didn't want to know about the mind or consciousness, psychologists weren't interested in it either.
Now consciousness studies are all the rage and, partly as a result of the sort of research Martin has amassed, mind is making a scientific comeback. A new "solution" to the mind/body split, he fashionably suggests, is to look at ourselves in terms of evolution - we are creatures whose physical and mental abilities have evolved because they have survival value, and he goes in for some interesting speculation as to the function of depression and anxiety.
But there he stops. As a biologist - Cambridge and Stamford - he probably felt that he had gone about as far as he could go. On the subject of how all of this new data might actually change current medical practice he is silent, apart from grudgingly admitting that exercise and relaxation are probably a good thing. He virtually ignores the whole realm of complementary medicine. More seriously, he fails to see how the medical profession's current reliance on drugs works to exclude the mind.
Roundhead medics dismiss many of the claims of complementary medicine on the grounds that it hasn't been subjected to the scientific rigours of the double blind trial - giving one group of patients a new drug and one a placebo without telling them which they have been given. But it's not as simple as that. The whole point of double blind trials is to eliminate the powerful natural healing system that swings into action when we believe that someone is going to make us well.
Traditional systems, such as Chinese or the Indian Ayurveda, as well as homeopathy, don't have the mind/body split that runs through Western medicine. Instead, they follow just the sort of principles implied by the research Martin cites. They may prescribe remedies that will affect both mind and body - herbs and meditation, for instance. But who is going to fund expensive trials to test these treatments? Certainly not the drug companies, when there is no prospect of a patentable product to recoup their costs.
Martin's book lets a very interesting cat out of the bag. But he doesn't dare follow it. Ironically, there is some evidence that conventional medicine is already being pushed in a more complementary direction. Complementary medicines are often far cheaper than the latest drugs, which makes them increasingly attractive to NHS fund managers looking at the bottom line.

If you look there are usually indoor playtime at the library or sometimes if there is a early years Center (I think that's what it's called) where I live they have a gym that is obviously more appealing to the 21 month old the gym is full of toddler preschool toys and mats I can't wait to bring my little guy. Anyway I would start at the local library see if there is like a mommy and me thing going on and ask the front desk be blunt with them they usually know where all the free fun things are going on

How about a little inflatable pool for the backyard, with help and supervision, of course. For your 21 month old, you can fill a large container with water and provide toys that will either sink or float. You can also create a little sandbox and hide toys inside for exploration. Catching bubbles is another great activity.

Americans use 500 million drinking straws every day, we toss out
enough disposable cups, forks and spoons each year to circle the
equator 300 times, and use 50 billion plastic beverage bottles
each year. By reducing disposable waste, restaurants have the power to
greatly reduce their impact on our Lowcountry environment.
Surfrider Charleston Chapter is in need of VOLUNTEERS who are willing
to help with outreach to local restaurants. If you have a favorite
place for brunch, lunch, dinner, cocktails etc., then we need YOU!
Surfrider will provide you with all the training and information to
reach out to your favorite establishment to help them to become
certified as ocean friendly.
The goals are to have the restaurants understand how the way they
conduct business has an impact on the condition of the beach and
ocean, our economy, and our health. We're helping restaurants to be
more sustainable and, in turn, helping protect our waters, environment
and our economy. There is no fee to become an ORF!

Lehman Brothers said yesterday that it had dismissed Elaine Garzarelli, Wall Street's best-known market strategist, as part of its cost-cutting drive. Ms Garzarelli, who has a wide following among individual investors, earned almost dollars 2m (pounds 1.2m) a year. She insisted on costly computer support and travelled extensively at Lehman's expense in the company of her dog, a Maltese named Coco.
Her penchant for personal publicity - her face, framed by red curls and adorned with expensive jewelery, is a fixture on US business television, and has appeared in advertisements for No Nonsense pantyhose - is also believed to have offended sensibilities at the troubled firm.
'Wall Street is looking at staff from top to bottom to see who is contributing to the bottom line,' said Michael Flanigan, a securities industry analyst with Lipper Analytical Services in New York. 'No one is sacred in this process.'
Lehman, which has laid off hundreds of high-cost executives this year, said it had conducted a cost-benefit analysis of Ms Garzarelli's contribution to the firm's profits and decided it could no longer afford a quantitative analyst. Ms Garzarelli's 'sector analysis' approach to the market is out of favour with institutional investors. Lehman lost most of its retail clients last year when its brokerage arm, Shearson, was sold to Smith Barney.
Ms Garzarelli, 47, achieved international fame in October 1987, when Wall Street was conducting post-mortems on the 600-point crash in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Using a sophisticated computer model that uses market indicators to predict industry performance, she had warned Lehman clients a week earlier that share prices were dangerously inflated.
Her advice saved the firm's customers tens of millions of dollars, and she quickly became a media star. She reinforced her reputation in 1990 by calling the end of the last bear market, and Lehman, then a division of American Express, was happy to promote her to the investing public as its main oracle.
But as her reputation for forecasting the market has waned with the rise in US interest rates, Ms Garzarelli's high profile has become increasingly awkward for Lehman, which American Express spun off as a free-standing firm in May. The twice-divorced economist was arrested for alleged drunk driving in the Hamptons two months ago, soon after clashing publicly with Lehman's chief equities strategist, the even more telegenic Katherine Hansel, over the market's direction.
Contradictory recommendations by the two Lehman analysts appeared in the same report, which went out to thousands of clients and journalists in September. Ms Garzarelli, who started the year predicting the Dow would top 4,700, has become increasingly cautious, but believes 'the market correction' is over.
Ms Hansel, who has won respect for her thoughtful research and who earns less than half as much as Ms Garzarelli, urged investors to keep raising cash.
'It's too early to know who will be right, but the damage to Lehman's credibility has already been done,' one Wall Street analyst said.
The firm's shares have slumped from their opening- day price of dollars 207 8 to under dollars 15 yesterday, and its profit for the last quarter was off 80 per cent from 1993.
Nick Knight, head of strategy at Nomura, said no one questioned Ms Garzarelli's abilities. 'Even if her forecasts were not always right, her ability to act as a brand name was impressive. It is the hallmark of someone who has made it.'
However, many Wall Street executives believe Ms Garzarelli will have little trouble finding a new employer. Speculation centred yesterday on Paine Webber and Prudential Securities, two large retail firms whose brokerage operations would benefit from the addition of a media star.

Fair Grounds: Gantry by a neck in Thanksgiving Handicap
The finish line came just in time for Gantry, who held off the onrushing Central Banker to win the $100,000 Thanksgiving Handicap at Fair Grounds for the second time in three years.
Gantry, breaking from the inside stall in a field reduced to four by the scratches of Delaunay and Foreign Production, led while pressed mildly on the outside by Mico Margarita through moderate splits of 22.81 seconds for the first quarter-mile and 46.38 for the half. Gantry shrugged off a tiring Mico Margarita in midstretch, but by then Central Banker, who had waited in third behind the leaders, had tipped to the outside and was closing strongly.
Central Banker steadily ate into Gantry's lead in the final furlong, but the wire came before he could catch him, with Gantry home by a neck. The heavy favorite, Gantry paid $3 to win and was timed in 1:10.32 for six furlongs over a fast track. Mico Margarita got third by 2 1/4 lengths over Strong and Tough, who was taken up at the start.
Gantry, one of three winners on the day for jockey Richard Eramia and trainer Ron Faucheux, does not appear to be quite the same horse he was when he won the 2011 Thanksgiving, nor, perhaps, even as sharp as one year ago, when Delaunay handed him a convincing defeat. Purchased privately by the Brittlyn Stable more than two years ago, Gantry turns 7 on Jan. 1, and it's a reasonable assumption that his best days are behind him.
Central Banker and, to a lesser extent, Mico Margarita might be the ones to watch coming out of the Thanksgiving. The Al Stall-trained Central Banker ran his final furlong Thursday in less than 12 seconds and has a powerful kick in one-turn races on both turf and dirt. Mico Margarita was making his first start since July, appeared to tire in the final three-sixteenths of a mile, and could move forward off this comeback race for trainer Steve Asmussen.
Same ole Marcus this year. Can you ever write an article with just positive statements ???? Whether it be a winning horse or bringing up something a jockey did 20 years ago you are the King. You are truly the "poison pen" of the Fair Grounds media.
i guess somebody bet the wrong horse in this race..hey marcus.
Nice comment on the winner Marcus... sheez man.

While it is common for a teacher's workload to be considered by the number of students they teach, this does not apply to Teachers of the Visually Impaired as their caseload crosses all subject areas, all grade levels, and students with multiple disabilities.
The unique accessibility and learning needs of students makes an assessment of a caseload based only on the number of students not an appropriate measure of time needed to perform the job. Blindness and low vision has a tremendous impact on every aspect of a student's learning and each student has unique and diverse needs. Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments must teach students in all areas related to the Expanded Core Curriculum that are appropriate for that student. This includes the need for specialized instruction in concept development, compensatory access, sensory efficiency, instruction in assistive technology, activities of daily living, social development, recreation and leisure, career education and self determination. In addition, they must collaborate with teachers and therapists to adapt the materials, environment and the curriculum.
The Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) having adequate time to:
Conducting a periodic caseload analysis can provide administrators with an understanding of the TVI's time and consider the need for expanding the program. As districts grow, or otherwise change, the service needs change. The data from the caseload analysis will reflect what changes are needed and thus provide quality control. Some of the tools for caseload analysis can be detailed and daunting to say the least. They will yield valuable information, but if you need a simple and quick tool to balance caseloads, I have found the TSBVI Staffing Patterns (adapted from the IOWA rules for SpEd) to be a helpful tool. If you are looking for a more detailed analysis, consider the following:
Quality Programs for the Visually Impaired (QPVI) forms and guidelines can be used by both Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments (TVI's) and Orientation & Mobility (O&M) Specialists
The APSEA Guidelines for Determining Caseload Size for TVI's provides guidelines and suggestions for administrators when assigning students to an itinerant teacher.
Supervisors should consider:
The Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired also has a resource page on Caseload Analysis Guidelines as part of the Administrators Toolkit. The page includes assumptions, why it is important to conduct a caseload analysis and what should be taken into consideration.

I love life on the back of a bicycle.
When we move past age 40 we just don't give a shit what people think anymore.
Yes, I have become one of those women who rides in a skirt, flip flop sandals and hair blowing in the wind – wrinkles and flapping skin flying. No football helmet or riding gear. Just the wind and me. It makes me feel eight years old. Back to the days of riding my stingray with its banana seat, high handle bars and those long summer days. Two of my best friends could ride with me on my bike. Down the streets we'd go screaming and laughing. There were no helmet laws – only the wind flow and motion of energy from the back of a bike. If I could ride in my bare feet these days – I probably would.
I have found myself yelling "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" as I race down hillsides, racing swiftly by cars.
I don't think I have ever yelled that during sex.
People do yell how much they like Betty the bike. People in the neighborhoods I ride through are beginning to yell hello and my name. We miss so much in the world from behind a windshield, talking on our cell phones with music playing.
Football season began for Brian this week. It is back to nightly practices and sweaty gym socks. I have missed the other parents and the kids. It seems Brian is the boy with the largest chest and has proceeded to push every kid off the line. This years coach is all over him, and the boys are gathering around him – shocked at his strength. He is puffing up like a peacock.
So much so, that when the group of boys noticed that sometimes he can't get his words out, he was not daunted. They asked, "Brian, why is it hard for you to get your words out sometimes?" There he was – exposed -in front of his peers.
His answer, "I sometimes think faster than I can get the words out." The other boys, without missing a beat answer, "Yeh, that happens to me sometimes too."
And that was the end of it. Later that night I asked him if that moment hurt his feelings, He responded, "No, they were just curious and probably want to help me."
Now that my friends is a big change.
School is just around the corner. Brian is now in 6th grade. Where do the years go? It was just yesterday I was on the blue stingray bike with the banana seat riding up the middle of Alta Avenue in Rohnert Park California.
Bare feet and all.
Somethings never change even if time does.
Until next time-
