....

Think about this one!

 
Would you be willing to “drop everything" (lets say, I don't know..... YOUR IMMEDIATE TRAVEL PLANS ) to take a free trip to a mysterious location chosen by a machine? 

 
Heineken pulled a marketing stunt at JFK  Airport and asked travelers to take part in travel roulette. Travel Roulette? Makes me nervous on all levels!

 
Cheer's t0 those living a spontaneous life! & Hope you all have a great kick start to the week!
 
 
 
 
Would you push the button?

& Friday has arrived! This past week was a busy one for me so to know that Sunday will be an R& R day I'm just thrilled!

A few days ago I posted my review for a book I fell in love with immediately and I was delighted when the author commented on my blog post. Jamie, you made my day!  Click here for the review. 





Jamie Cat Callan is the author of "Bonjour, Happiness!" and the wildly successful "French Women Don't Sleep Alone." Inspired by her beautiful and elegant French grandmother, Jamie has traveled all over France, interviewing hundreds of women to uncover their secrets to simple, authentic pleasures, including how to stay stylish at any age, how to enjoy more with less and how we too can find our joie de vivre, American style. *via goodreads
 
Im looking forward to spending time in NYC with parents walking the Highline and grabbing some good NY grub along the way. What do you have planned this weekend?
 
Until Monday!
xoxo

MORNING NEWS SHARE



My morning routine consists of sitting down enjoying my Spinach Protein Pancakes with a hot cup of Lemon Water and catching up with news. Today's news got me so excited.....I heard something that got made me so happy and scream out loud "finally!"

Here is the Morning News Share......

Doctors are now giving prescriptions for fruits and vegetables. It's a unique program that for the first time is now available in our area.

"That's what this is all about where doctors are gonna be writing prescriptions for fresh fruits and vegetables," said Dr. Thomas Farley, Health Commissioner.

The city launched a new fruit and vegetable prescription program-- called FVRX.

It targets children who are overweight and their families. Especially in low income neighborhoods.

Here's how it works, pediatricians give parents a prescription. It allows up to a dollar a day per family member for fruits and veggies, $28 a week for a family of four.

You also get vouchers, New York City health bucks. Paid for by tax dollars they're similar to food stamps but can only be used for fresh produce.

Those health bucks can be used at any of the city's farmers markets.

"It allows people to get a shopping basket full of produce that they otherwise would not be able to afford," said Margaret Hoffman, Regional Manager of Greenmarket.

The prescriptions are part of a national initiative linking local farmers to underserved communities. Officials are now testing it in two New York City hospitals with 140 families.

For now, it's a 4 month pilot program at Harlem Hospital and Lincoln Medical Center.

If it works- officials say they will try to expand it to other locations-- using donations, grants and possibly city funding.

What is your opinion on this?
