I ♥ Green Tea Frappuccinos! Particularly the one from Starbucks.
It's been my comfort drink since I started working. No,wait. It's been my comfort drink ever since a Starbucks was put up near my office building. That's more true.

I love the suburbs!
I ♥ the suburbs!
The city will always excite me. But after a long day at work (and I work in the middle of a busy, busy city!), I look forward to the quiet moments at home. No honking of buses or cabs outside. No bright lights to blind me. No pedestrians walking way too fast.
I like the sprawling, green lawn. Heck, even the identical looking facades. Because that's what they are really -- just facades. It's what's on the inside that matters. It's home.

I love Oliver Jeffers!
I ♥ Oliver Jeffers' works!
My sister introduced me to "Lost & Found." It's about a boy who finds a penguin in his apartment, and his quest to bring the penguin back to its home. Now just where its home is, he doesn't quite know.
The stories are simple and charming, the artwork much more so. I liked Lost & Found so much I bought his other books. I read them to my son. When he's much older, I'm certain he'll enjoy reading them himself too.

I love Top Chef!
I ♥ watching Top Chef. It's my all-time favorite reality show. There's not that much drama. The battle is really based on talent and not the schmooze factor at all.
This season was the best I think. By best I mean it had the most professional, most awarded collection of cheftestants. The winner, Chef Michael Voltaggio, pictured above, is highly creative and always had an edge over his fellow cheftestants, even his brother.
I can't wait for the next season! It'll take a lot to top Season 6!

I love baby slings!
I ♥ baby slings! I would love to wear one with my son but he doesn't seem comfortable in one. I end up holding him in my arms still.
Peacock Market Sling
Peacock Market SlingThis one looks so cute, so bohemian. I can wear it on morning walks to the park or the neighborhood market.
Well, if my baby would let me put him in it.

I love this top!
I ♥ loose tops, particularly this Sailor's Lover Top.
Having given birth a few months ago, loose tops make me feel more comfortable. The thing is loose tops can make one feel fatter than one really is, so the cut is really important. This particular sailor's lover top looks just right. I'd wear it with leggings and my ballet flats.

I love cozy corners!

This particular corner makes me want to curl up in it with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate. Grab a thick fuzzy throw, turn the fairy lights on and I'm good without human interaction for a couple of hours.

I love How I Met Your Mother!
I ♥ the TV show "How I Met Your Mother."
I'd love to move to Manhattan and hang out with Ted, Barney, Robin, Lily and Marshall. Well, I'm crushing on Ted. He's an architect, has a good sense of humor, is cute and is a hopeless romantic. He's my TV crush of the moment.
I do wonder who Ted's wife will be, but I'm also not too anxious because knowing who the "Mother" is in the show's title would mean the show being over. Nooooooooooo.

I Love Green Tea!
I ♥ green tea!
Eating is so much fun. I know how it can be purely a functional activity -- to fill you up, sustain your energy, to survive. But eating is sensorial too. The texture of a chocolate cupcake on your tongue... the swirl of the oyster once off its shell and in your mouth... the cold tickling sensation of a slurpee slurped too quickly.
An overload of the senses comes when I eat too much though. Yeah, it's like they're numbed. And so green tea comes to the rescue. It pacifies my rebelling stomach.
It's like an Aunt calmly telling me not to eat so much next time while patting my head. Warm and comforting. Weird analogy but yes, green tea is comfort. Green tea is an equalizer!

I love New York!
I ♥ New York!
Let's set things straight; I've never been to New York. But I've read enough chic lit and watched enough rom-coms to built a huge fascination for the city.
You've Got Mail. Nick & Norah's Playlist. The Devil Wears Prada. Three Keys in Chelsea. Felicity. Sex and The City. How I Met Your Mother. There's just so much love for Manhattan. F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
I WANT to understand my fascination better. I want to understand why New Yorkers are fiercely loyal to their city. I want to see Central Park in the fall.
I want to go to New York! I'm in love with the idea of it!

I love rainbow sprinkles!
I ♥ rainbow sprinkles!
C'mon, sprinkle ANYTHING with rainbow sprinkles and that food is sure to turn cheerier and more appetizing to eat.
Maybe brussel sprouts should have rainbow sprinkles so kids would eat it.

I love Haw Flakes!
I ♥ Haw Flakes!
This one's a childhood favorite. It's hard to stop at just one roll.
Have you ever had a Haw Flakes headache? Caused by eating too much of it? It's fun.

I like big bags because I know I can put in all my things without leaving anything behind!

I love Oprah!
When I got an email about being a part of the OWN community, I jumped at signing up.
I ♥ Oprah! That's why!
If I could work at Harpo, I would. Oprah is just so inspiring. She's so charismatic and such a great example for women. She's a multi-media goddess with a heart of gold methinks.

I love Andy Warhol!
I ♥ Andy Warhol's works of art. They're so playful and calming at the same time.
