Lost in Candy Land

Couple of days ago, I missed my stop on the subway and landed up on 34th Street. I looked for uptown train signs only to find out that I would have to swipe my card again if I wanted to go back! Uggh! I decided to exit and perhaps go to the meditation center. Upon reaching the street level, I backed out of the meditation center idea 'cause it was couple of avenues away and it had started raining. I quickly noticed that I was only 1/2 a block from the B&H Photo Store. Perfect. The memory chip for my camera had cracked recently and needed to be replaced. So off I went to B&H.

I had heard so much about B&H - expecting it to be a regular camera store was sooo shocked and amazed! I found myself like a little girl lost in the candy store! OMG! Was this Santa Land? Conveyor belts carrying products up and down, so many gadgets, so muchhh to just get yourself lost into. Lighting, Tents, Tripods, Lenses, Cameras and more Cameras. The intention had been to go there only for 2 mins to pick up the SanDisk card.

What a rush of endorphins! I found myself "drooling" at new cameras (as if they were juice-filled candies). Perhaps Amex would send me a gift card for a shopping spree at B&H? This place is amazing - I heart Bloomies, but B&H is like a Macy's filled with electronic gadgets. For a blogger who is constantly clicking photos or shooting videos, this is "Candy Land," and I enjoyed every minute of getting lost in it.

Have you been to B&H?

Cheers to Happy Clicking!

Can Can Night

Do you struggle with preparing a meal at home on Friday evenings? My legs could barely carry me home tonight - I had done a lot of running around this week and running up and down the long subway escalators. I was kaput! Did I forget my vitamins?? I ran out of my go-to-comfort food. Brown rice tortillas and Daiya cheese are my butter and toast. Trader Joe's hasn't had any brown rice tortillas recently - all the snow storms we have been having - people have been grabbing them before I reach there! After eating a few corn tortilla chips, dried coconut chips, I knew I had to make something substantial 'cause I wasn't going to survive on that or rice crackers and kimchi sauce! Enter the can can dance! I kept eyeing the can of kidney beans while my mouth salivated. "Yes, I want that!" "Nah! Who's going to chop garlic, tomatoes, etc.?" I debated with myself - I'm too tired. I gave in - made the kidney beans and have enough energy to

How I Transformed My Life?

7 Years ago on a frigid winter morning in January, little did I know that my life was about to transform dramatically! It was my first day at Institute for Integrative Nutrition ("IIN"). Today I had the privilege of going back to school, IIN, for a live event at Avery Fisher Hall! As I entered the Time Warner Building, I started feeling happy and excited! The energy in a room full of 1,000+ health coaches cannot be described, but has to be experienced! Endorphins are released! One just wants to freeze time and stay in the present moment and savor it. At IIN I learned different diet theories, I was supported by colleagues and mentors and learned from world-renown experts in the holistic field. I addressed my own health issues and share my knowledge to help others. Today I am gluten-free and dairy-free and it's with the support I received from my colleagues at IIN that I was able to smoothly transition into this lifestyle. Most importantly, I learned to love and accep

The New Kick in My Block

Did you know that this is the original Sriracha? Mrs. Chakkapak created it in her kitchen in Si Racha, Thailand, for her family and friends. See article from Bon Appetit by Andrea Nguyen. I came across this chopstick-licking sauce, which is hot, yet slightly sweet, during my trek to the Thai Grocery Store. I prefer it to the sweet chili sauce with loads of pepper seeds. Sriraja has the right kick! What I especially appreciate is that it is free of preservatives and artificial coloring and has no msg! Can't wait to dig in to my bowl of noodles! Bon appétit! Jyoti
