Puffins Addiction

As you know, this blog is all about inspiring better living. With that said, I introduce to you PUFFINS Peanut Butter cereal. As silly as it sounds, I'm being serious about my love of this delicious food.

Puffins are a perfect snack. Low in sugar, high in taste, simple ingredients, lovely crunchy texture.

Upon your first bowl, I have no doubt that you will become addicted to this healthy snack. It's also great to eat dry in those moments when you search for something to curb your sweet tooth.

Costco should carry Puffins in bulk.

Italy Gets The Finger

After being published last month in Italian magazines, the country's advertising watchdog, the Institute for Advertising Self-Discipline (IAP) has banned Tom Ford Eyewear ads. This specific image, showing a sunglasses-wearing woman with a man's finger in her mouth was ruled "markedly vulgar" because the "scene evokes an offending and abusive act against women, which degrades the dignity of the person."

Personally, I've been loving the latest Tom Ford ad campaign with photographer Terry Richardson. The shots are sophisticated, yet primal... juxtaposition at its best!

Here are a couple other shots I'd love to have framed at my place:

SYI: Oddly, the shot with the woman grabbing the man's crotch was not banned by the IAP.

Róisín Murphy

If I could come back to Earth as a woman, I'd like to be Róisín Murphy!

The former lead singer of Moloko, Róisín turned solo in 2004. Her sophmore solo album, "Overpowered", is an obsession right now.

Her voice-check, her style-check,... there's a new diva in town!

Fav tracks: "Overpowered", "Tell Everybody", "Dear Miami", "You Know Me Better", & "Primitive".

SYI - Róisín is pronounced (roy-sheen)

Terroni

Shereen Arazm's (Parc, Geisha House, Shag, Bella, Dolce) new restaurant, Terroni, is hands down my latest food craze.

4 factors that make the place:
-The food is southern style Italian- ultra thin crust pizza, fresh pastas made on site daily, seasonal salads, and a delightful array of semi-sweet dolci.
-An attractive bar w/ counter space where you can have a drink and/or dinner. There's a full wine list, as well as regional Italian style cocktails too.
-The ambiance is lively even during weekdays, yet it somehow manages not to be a hipster joint. The decor is fun and inviting, but not overt or contrived.
- Close to probable next stops, or home.

SYI: When you're at the bar, ask your bartender for "The Sean"... close in taste to a mandarin soda, except it's made up of vodka, soda, with a 2-count shot of the Italian Aperol® orange liqueur.
