Thanksgiving in Holland
This year is going to be the first year ever that I will not be home in New York with my family for Thanksgiving. Instead, Jarno and I are going to have and American Thanksgiving at our home in Holland.
I took the time out this morning to plan out my menu (with the help of foodie blogs like Martha Stewart, Saveur, and the Kitchn). I’m actually super excited to introduce Thanksgiving to...
Muz showing at Camaje
My friend Mark is currently showcasing his Muz artwork at Camaje restaurant in New York City located at 85 MacDougal Street (between Bleeker and Houston).
When I was in New York last, I was looking for a couple’s cooking class as a wedding gift for my best friend, Samantha and her now husband Narada. Camaje has great cooking classes in addition to a fantastic menu. When I went in to pick...

Rina Mae recently posted about the Kreativ Blogger Award and mentioned me in her blog post. The Kreativ Blogger Award is a way for people within the blogging community to recognize each other for their writing abilities, innovative art and design, photography, and all things creative.

Vrijdag Markt
It’s a beautiful Autumn day today here in Holland. It’s about 57F/14C and I just finished my delicious lunch of a goat cheese, apple, and walnut spinach salad and panini. I’m trying to eat healthier as of late.

Our Story
I get asked how Jarno and I met all the time. It really was by chance…
So, I’ll share with you what has been the most amazing year thus far, after a very tumultuous 2008.
Jarno and I met in February of this year while I was on holiday in Belize and he was in a training exercise for his job. We met at the one night club in San Pedro, La Isla Bonita. Dancing led to a walk on the...

Reblog from Amsterdam Ad Blog
I thought this ad was fab:
From Amsterdam Ad Blog:
Though a lot of advertising is based on the principle that sex sells, ads never explicitly show frontal nudity. If you’re selling breast cancer awareness, however, it only makes sense to show the ‘product’ at hand. Grey Amsterdam created this ad with lots of stopping power for Pink Ribbon Magazine, a charity glossy from which all profits are...

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month →
On June 19th, 2008, I lost my mother, Judy Koo to Breast Cancer after a 16 year battle. She was my best friend and the foundation of our family. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of her and the impact that she made on my life.
The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network is one of the leading cancer advocacy organizations. Breast Cancer is among the Top 10...

A little taste of home...
I was on the phone with one of my best girlfriends, Melissa, a couple of weeks ago and was telling her a few things that I missed about being back in New York.
Cheerios - I mentioned in a previous post how I couldn’t find Cheerios at the supermarket so I had to settle for “Loops”
Buttermilk pancakes and real maple syrup - mainly just a good old Diner breakfast
My girlfriends -...
