Never Too Old for Short Sets and Sneakers!

Never too old for short sets and sneakers!

Growing up in Mt. Vernon and New Rochelle, New York, during the 60s, summer was the best time of the year. School was out and there was always a parade, picnic or block party to attend. We had a lot of friends and family who was always getting together to eat, drink or just play games.

Summer Shorts set and sneakers After cleaning the apartment, we would run up to North Avenue to see the annual parade. My grandmother always bought my sister and I matching red, white and blue outfits and we dressed as if we were twins. Only a little over a year apart we could actually could pass for twins because everyone thought of us as ‘Toni and Gloria‘ never just one or the other.

Summer Shorts and Sundress 014

Catching a bus to go shopping at Korvettes in the Bronx was definitely one of the best memories I have from childhood. My grandmother couldn’t afford to get us the best sneakers but trying on the ones in the big bins attached with a stretchy string was fun.

Korvettes-1962 korvette 62 girls dept Shuffling around the store in too big sneakers didn’t bother us as all, you see my grandmother didn’t believe it buying shoes or sneakers that fit, they had to be larger so that we could grow into them. A little toilet paper stuffed in the toes worked fine for us.

Summer Shorts and Sundress 017

Now that both my sister and grandmother are gone, those summer memories are even more special. Having recently purchased a short set and sneakers from Rainbow Shops had my mind and heart filled with with those wonderful childhood memories and no matter how old we get, somethings never change.

Summer Shorts and Sundress 015

No matter my age, I am never too old for a short set & sneakers!

Happy 4th of July Holiday my friends…now go make some memories!  

P.S.  Don’t forget the sunscreen!

Room with a View at The Royal Suites

Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world.

I am still trying to sort through over 500 pictures and several videos from our family vacation to the Dominican Republic and I do hope that you are enjoying each of the posts.  If case you missed it, click here to read the post showing the food and drinks from the resort.

Today’s I have a short video with a few pictures of our our 2 bedroom at The Royals Suites at Lifestyles Holidays Vacation Resort.  

We arrived at the resort late and were extremely hungry so we went to dinner before checking in so the pictures of the room are a little dark.  

The refrigerator was initially stocked with several bottles of water, soft drinks and beer then each day resort workers would come b Presidente Beer y with more to ensure no one would ever get thirsty!  Their brand of beer is Presidente and it was great.

 

The Kitchen

Unfortunately, the 2nd bedroom contained only 1 Queen Size bed which didn’t go over too well with my mini men.  We called the front desk and they graciously and quickly brought up a twin bed for the living room where Malik slept.

The bedrooms were spacious and each had a flat screen TV including in the living room which made my men extremely happy!

In each bathroom there was a basket containing several bottles of shower gels, shampoo/conditioners, soaps, lotions, a sewing kit, cotton swabs and other toiletries, however, it took several minutes for the water to heat up in both the sink and shower.

These pictures were taken from the balcony the following morning and as you can see we had a great view of a pool and that of a tennis court.

There was a bar that opened from 10-6 and it was nice to sit poolside and have a drink while “lazing” the day away.

15 Things You Can Learn Online This Summer

15 Things You Can Learn Online This Summer 

Author: Alyssa Craig

The beginning of a new season is a great time to set new goals and find ways to expand your horizons. Taking the summer months to learn a new skill or develop a hobby is a great way to do this. After all, there have been many benefits found from continuing education throughout life, formal or otherwise.

The internet is full of options for learning something new with classes offered through many avenues, many even free of charge. If you have kids at home for summer break, you might consider getting them to take a class or two with you to keep their minds sharp as well.

Here are some ideas for classes available for you to try this summer.

1. Sewing: Whether you want to be able to sew your child’s next Halloween costume, hem your own clothing, or just be able to do simple fixes, consider taking an online class.

2. Coding: Learning programming can make you a very valuable asset in today’s technological world. Learning coding may help you at a current job or open the door to many more career opportunities if you are going to be job hunting in the near future.

3. Speed Reading: You can find many programs online that help you improve your reading abilities and enhance your retention of what you are reading. With practice, you may soon reading three or four times as quickly as you are now. This can either make your professional life more efficient, or give you more time to read for pleasure.

4. Foreign Language: Being bilingual or multilingual not only stretches your mind, it can make you more valuable at work, and make international travel more enjoyable. Commit to learning a new language this summer. Once you have completed your course, find a video chat pen pal or a group of people who speak the language with whom you can practice. Check out these additional tips for learning a foreign language online.

5. Play an Instrument: Have you always wanted to be able to play the guitar or wish you had continued those piano lessons you started as a kid? Believe it or not, there are ways to improve and learn new music skills online.

6. Drawing and Painting: Through online instruction, you can develop your artistic abilities. Summer is a great time to do this, as you have greater availability in landscapes, wildlife, and settings to sketch.

7. Basic Photography: It seems everyone thinks they are a photographer these days and with the right equipment and some training, you can be too! If nothing else, you can take pictures for your own enjoyment, or learn how to take great vacation pictures.

8. Investing in Stocks: You may have been intimidated by this in the past, but if you have a steady income, you may consider taking some classes that will teach you how to invest intelligently.

9. Yoga Basics: If you are looking for a great workout, or relaxation and stress relief, yoga is a great tool to try! But if you don’t want to pay the prices of a yoga studio, online instruction may be a little easier on your wallet.

10. Improve Math Skills: Math may not have been your forte in school, but now your kids are coming home with homework you can no longer help them with. Consider taking a math class or two online this summer to spruce up your rusty math skills, both for your benefit and your child’s.

11. Cooking: You don’t need to attend a fancy cooking class to become a better cook. All you need is your own kitchen and access to the internet to start wowing your friends and family with your culinary creations.

12. Build Your Own Deck: You have been meaning to build that deck for years and this summer you are finally going to do it! Take an online class that will show you each of the steps to build your own deck and finally finish off your dream backyard.

13. Write a Book for Kids: If you enjoy writing, you may want to broaden your abilities to include children’s literature. While it may seem simple, there are techniques you can learn from an official children’s literature class. Write a book for yourself, the neighbor kids, or your own children or grandchildren. Original story books make great gifts!

14. Let Go of Bad Habits: Whether you need to quit smoking, learn how to fight less, or develop greater self control with sugar, there are online classes that cover all these needs and more. Take a class that will help you to let go of a bad habit and improve the quality of your life.

15. Home Repairs: How many times have you encountered challenges in your home that you would fix if only you knew how? Take a home repairs online course to learn simple repairs you can do on your own, instead of calling a repair person each time something breaks.

You can find many classes online that can help you develop a new hobby or imply to improve your knowledge with continued education. Get a group of friends to take the class with you to make it even more enjoyable!

Is there something that you’ve always wanted to learn how to do?

As a gentle reminder ~ it’s never too early to purchase Avon Skin So Soft Bath Oil Spray because not only is it a great insect repellent but also because there are over 100 other uses.  

Here are just a few that I wanted to share but I am sure you can add many more to the list.

sss

PERSONAL USES:

1. It’s a bath oil and after shower moisturizer.

2. It can be used to remove makeup.

3. Great tanning oil (no sunscreen).

4. Hot oil treatment to soften cuticles.

5. Great massage oil for tired muscles.

6. Cleans off tape marks left from bandages on skin.

7. Cleans ink off the skin.

8. Insect repellent.

9. Helps relieve itching caused by dry skin.

10. Cleans oil and grease off of skin.

11. Painting something? Use Skin-So-Soft to remove paint from the hands. (Instead of turpentine).

12. It soothes light sunburn.

13. Rub hands with it before washing, it helps get them cleaner.

14. Rub on dry, cracked skin….helps heal skin in 2-3 days.

15. Put 1-2 caps full in liquid soap and use it for shaving legs and under arms. Helps razor glide and leaves skin feeling smooth.

16. Pour a little into your Foot Saver to help moisturize your feet while you relax them.

17. It removes chewing gum from hair, skin, and most non-pour us surfaces.

18. Gently removes glue and adhesive residue from full/front lace wigs.

19. SSS Original Bath Oil works GREAT on Head Lice! Saturate head and let it set for 15 minutes, then rinse under an outdoor faucet, and the lice are gone.  Shampoo hair a couple of times to get all the oil out, but the lice will be gone and stay gone!

20. It kills ants instantly.

21. Spray on skin to relieve dry itching skin. Helps skin retain it’s elasticity.

22. Wash hair with shampoo and conditioner like always and after it dries….Use about the size of a dime of SSS and rub it in your hair. It goes straight in and leaves hair as shiny as the ads on TV, not greasy at all, just soft and shiny.

23. Use bath oil towelettes — cover window sill with towelettes to keep ants out.

24. Bath use, fill bath with water and a little skin so soft, very relaxing and gets rid of dry skin.

HOUSEHOLD USES:

ANIMAL USES:

65. It’s a great insect repellent for your pet. (as recommended in “Outdoor Life” and “Field and Stream”)

66. Mix 5 parts water, 1 part SSS and mist on animals. Brushing it in makes their coats gleam and keeps insects off so the animals don’t fidget in the show ring.

71. If your dog should get tar or asphalt on the pads of their feet rub on SSS and then wipe off.

72. Flea Bath: Use a flea and tick shampoo. Rinse, rinse, rinse so no soap residue is left. Follow with final rinse of 2 gallons of water mixed with flea dip and 1 capful of SSS. The SSS helps replace the oils lost in bathing and has the added benefit of repelling insects.

73. Flea Repellent: Avon’s Skin So Soft Bath Oil. 1-1/2 ounces per gallon of water; used as a sponge-on dip (or as a spritz) has been tested and proven to have significant, but not complete, flea-repellent activity for a 6-day period. It should help those dry coats, too.

74. Rub on your hands before and after working with pets and farm animals, takes away pet odor.

75.. A natural way to help cats with flea problems and flea allergies is to rub Skin So Soft into the skin. Once a bug, always a bug. Fleas don’t like it either!

clean.

Food and Drinks in the Dominican Republic

Hello friends and happy Feel Good Friday!

Today I am going to show you just a few of the foods and drinks that we consumed while in the Dominican Republic. I must admit that I was a bit disappointed to find out that that spicy foods were not standard fare…who knew? The next time I’m going to have to do a “Patti Labelle” and bring my own little bottle of hot sauce!

Food and Drinks from the Dominican Republic

Breakfast with Passion Fruit, tart and Mimosa

Tapas

Despite not having any spicy foods, we did learn that chicken, rice, beans and salad were diet staples so we ate a lot of that as well as plenty of fresh fruits and according to hubby the sweetest Pineapple juice on earth.

Although I didn’t drink any of the Pineapple juice, I did indulge in plenty of other beverages including Coco Locos, Sex on the Beach, Presidente beer, Sangria, Mimosas, and Bloody Mary’s…notice a trend here?

Sex on the Beach

While there we decided to purchase a unit in the Lifestyles Holidays Vacation Resorts so all of our dinners were then upgraded from the standard restaurants to those which were a bit more extravagant including at the Gourmet, Jazz, Trapiche and The Blue Lagoon.  

BTW, talk to me if you want to spend a week or more in the DR, you can  rent from us, starting at $199.00 per week plus travel and meal plan.

Lamb chops

These two styles of Lamb Chops were the best that I had ever eaten and the Mexican chicken wings were normally sized and seasoned to perfection.  We also ate a variety of seafood which included Rock Lobster however, I like Maine Lobster much better.

Most of these restaurants required men to wear trousers and since hubby and Tayair had only brought shorts, during our Tuesday tour with a driver we shopped to purchase a few pairs.

We also hit up one of the local eateries for lunch and their food was reasonably priced, served family style for 4 only cost us $15.00 and the food was awesome!

Dominican Republic Vacation 2015 240 Dominican Republic Vacation 2015 241

Travel Tip: when staying at a resort, try to leave and eat where the locals do as you will get a better taste of the culture.

We also ate sugar cane which was pulled directly from the side of the road which was an experience that I wanted my men to have.

To say that we ate and drank more than our share during our time at the Lifestyles Holidays Vacation Resorts would be an understatement!

Dominican Republic Vacation 2015 228 Dominican Republic Vacation 2015 224 Dominican Republic Vacation 2015 225

Throughout the resort there were always snacks available at each of the 7 beaches and pool areas as well as plenty of bars for liquid refreshments, both alcoholic and non.  

As a matter of fact at Lifestyles Holidays Vacation Resort in Puerto Plata, there are over 11 restaurants and 12 bars which are all part of the all inclusive meal plan!  

Next week I will give you an overview of the property as well as video coverage so you can see for yourself just how beautiful this resort is.

When vacationing, I try to watch my caloric intake and thankfully only gained 3 lbs during this trip.  

Do you watch your weight and exercise when vacationing or do you subscribe to the YOLO philosophy (you only live once)?

Sunset and Sunrise in the Dominican Republic

Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world.

Last week my family and I spent 8 wonderful days in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. When we arrived it was just after a quick rainstorm however, it was just in time to catch a beautiful sunset.

Sunset in the DR

Wanting to wake up at least one day early to catch a sunrise was one of my goals and it turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip. Standing alone in the quiet stillness of the morning, watching a gato (cat) sleep and listening to the birds chirping was a blessed way in which to start a non-work day.

Sunrise in the DR

Sitting in silence watching resort employees preparing for their day knowing that my only commute would be a walk down to the beach was wonderful.

Sitting in solitude on the beach

Despite the current political conditions in the Dominican Republic, I have to admit that not having been on a vacation since 2009, the DR was definitely a beautiful place to be.

Beach view in the DR

After returning to the room I gathered my men and we walked over to the Casablanca restaurant where we ate from a breakfast buffet complete with Mimosas and Bloody Mary’s (for me).  

This was just the beginning of what turned out to be a week long event of overeating and drinking, but thankfully I only gained 3 lbs!

Breakfast at the Casablanca

After breakfast, we tried to walk off a few of the calories with a tour of the Lifestyles Holidays Vacation resort.  My mini men returned to the room for a little R&R, then hubby and I walked to the VIP beach where we met another couple from Oklahoma at of all places “Wallmart”

After dinner there was Dominican entertainment followed by another beautiful sunset. Check back in on Friday to see some of the foods and flora in Puerto Plata.

Mother’s Day Maxi

Mother’s Day Maxi

Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world. This is a throwback to last month and Mother’s Day. Although my youngest wasn’t able to be home, he did call me at the crack of noon to say, “Happy Mother’s Day” before going back to bed…aah the life of a college student.

Mother's Day Weekend

Anywho, Tayair and I took our traditional Mother’s Day pictures under my grandmother’s favorite tree which was in full bloom. Although we didn’t go out for brunch, hubby did make a great dinner and took these cute pics of me in my Mother’s Day Maxi.

Mother's Day Weekend

Yes, he said something inappropriate…and I liked it!

Mother's Day Weekend 029 This Jersey Knit maxi was hanging in the closet with the tags still on it.  I found it on the clearance rack at Target last year. #dressforless

Mother's Day Weekend 028

The belt was thrifted from Goodwill

Mother's Day Weekend 023 And for once….no shoes!  

What did you wear on Mother’s Day?
