It's time for beach books- My favorite; "The Snowman" by Jo Nesbo

The summer is on it's way, and it's time to upgrade your book shelf with new and interesting novels. But which one to choose? If you are interested in reading crime stories, I recommend "The Snowman" by Jo Nesbo. The book is about a detective from Oslo who is searching for a serial killer who builds snowmen outside of his victims homes. 

Time for Camping!

Although there is a lot of fun stuff to do in the city, you may want to consider leaving the big apple in hope to get some fresh air in your lungs. http://www.nysparks.com/camping/ is a great website that gives you various information about different campgrounds around NYC.

One should never stop smiling!

This video is absolutely hilarious!

Coney Island gives trash new life

May 1 - The beginning of something better!

This weekend has been absolutely crazy! It all started with a great royal wedding in London were Kate and William made there promise to spend the rest of their life together. While walking down the aisle in her vintage-looking dress, Obama sat in a crowed room filled with other important people who hoped to finally catch the bad guy; Osama bin Laden. I can imagine the surprised look on Osama's face when the two US helicopters decided to come over for a short visit, and I am sure that he had no idea that his eyeballs were to fall out while he sat in in his luxurious villa, watching the royal wedding on his plasma TV in Pakistan.    

Just Scandinavian

I stopped by this amazing furniture store named Just Scandinavian. I was happy to see scandinavian design that didn't have an IKEA sticker glued on their items, and I loved their displays, but the price tag made my eyes hurt. If you are interested in getting inspired, you can find them at 161 Hudson St # 1B or check out their website www.justscandinavian.com
