Icing shots?

Cupcake shops are all the rage and have been for a few years. The new trend at cupcake shops are icing shots — perfect for a quick, intense sugar high. Yikes! The frosting is my least favorite part of a cupcake, I usually end of scraping half of it off. This new trend isn't for me, but for you frosting lovers out there your time has come.

Weird foods you can buy in NYC

Whenever I go grocery shopping in new towns or new countries I like to see what they have there that they don't sell in Utah. So far these have been my two finds-- Ketchup Potato Chips and Grape Ginger Ale. Both are pretty good. I'll have to keep my eyes out for more new and unusual stuff...

I heart NY

In 80s movies like Working Girl and Baby Boom there's always a montage of smart, successful women strutting down the streets of NYC in their power suits and sneakers. Today that was me. I wore sneakers with my skirt and tights to walk home from work. I looked and felt like a dork but I totally understand why women here wear running shoes with their work clothes--no pair of heels is comfortable after 20 blocks. I'm learning how to be a real New Yorker! (The song that should be playing in your head as you think about those 80s power suit montages is Carly Simon's Let the River Run).
