Oh, Ballet1

Tour jete' Triolet

Toe shoe lacing sends pulse racing

Tonight en pointe she would dance

Prima ballerina pacing

Toe shoe lacing sends pulse racing

Expectant audience facing

Supple muscles, lithe limbs entrance

Toe shoe lacing sends pulse racing

Tonight en pointe she would dance!

Pastel billowing, tulle parades

Back stage before act one begins

Just as opening music fades

Pastel billowing, tulle parades

Prismatic troupe of graceful maids

Pirouettes en pointe chorus spins

Pastel billowing, tulle parades

Back stage before act one begins                   

Written by Mr. Rock

I was one of those little girls who dreamt of becoming a dancer. I loved to dance in front of people...and they thought I was adorable!

Things changed when I grew older. Mom and Dad were not so pleased that I spent too much time on it. They thought I should be more focused on studying.

Well, I don't blame on them for stopping me from pursuing my dream. I could never make it my career- But I have always kept it in my heart.

Grab A Mug! Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake in Your Microwave!

Microwave mug cake? Yes, it is super easy and tasty! Don't just take my word for it, try it and you will love it!

I don't like baking because I'm afraid of gaining too much weight and I have alway felt it requires too much work. I found the mug cake recipes at spoonful.com and could not help wanting to try them out. I started with the recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake because I happen to already have all of the ingredients in my cupboard! The result was great!

You can get a warm and yummy mug cake in 5 minutes( from the begining to the end)! The most amazing part is that everyone can make it in the office! Afternoon sugar rush? Well, grab a mug and make a cake!

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons flour - I used gluten free flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
3 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil- I used extra olive oil
1 tablespoon peanut butter

Directions:

In a large mug ( I used 1 cup size ramekin ) whisk (with a small whisk or large fork) together the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt). 

Add the milk, vegetable oil and peanut butter. Whisk until smooth.

Cook in the microwave on high for 1 minute and 10 seconds. This recipe will rise a lot and then deflate. I know it's strange, but trust me it's delicious! Serve immediately!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Planting Seeds of Kindness

Tie kindness to planting seeds -- seeds start small and they grow and sprout into big plants or huge trees just like kindness can grow. 

A week ago, someone wanted to order my ' Dandelion Wish" Iphone case for her sister's upcoming birthday via etsy - VHNYBoutique. She mentioned that her sister knew me.

Yes, Her sister was a friend of S. We met during the Lawrenceville School reunion this May. Before then, she told me where I could secretly plant My Little Norway Spruce, in central park. 

I decided that I would give her the case as her birthday gift! They wanted order 5 cases to support my fledgling business as return. They love my painting, and sent me their pets pictures for portrait. I had not painted many animals before! They were so adorable! I did enjoy painting them. Kate - the border collie, was the most challenging one. She just passed away. They did not have a good shot of her. I had to rely on a very blurry picture of her and how they described her to create the image of Kate. I understood how much she meant to them, it was so emotional. I took the project very seriously! Fortunately, the outcome was great! Here are the cases I created! My original paintings are much nicer. It is inevitable and unfortunate that some details and color saturation are sacrificed during the printing process!
