YUP. I was almost challenged by another blogger. Really, Lori Lynn told me I was funny for even thinking of what one of these wild concoctions would taste like.
I don’t like to be defeated.
So here I am, on a Tuesday afternoon, drinking alcohol. I work from home, so I owe no one an explanation if [...]
Do you ever feel like throwing up your hands, twirling around, screaming at the top of your lungs and laughing like it’s just you and the trees?
Or the rain drops?
That’s what yesterday was like. For about 10 minutes. I didn’t do it, but I felt like it. My $540 white pumps could NOT get dirty [...]

Hi, I’m a Cuban girl named Bren! My friends call me B. And Chelsea is my alter-ego. I cook, sing, and freelance travel write, professionally. I’m a single gal living in Atlanta for the time being. I’m a soulful chick. I have a passion for all things food. I like to say I’m good ass cook, especially with the pressure cooker! I was raised in a very traditional Latin home, which meant everything happened(s) in the kitchen, literally! story-telling, crying, partying, fighting…oh yeah and cooking!
Really native to China and India, Star Anise is an evergreen seed we use in our foods to give dishes a distinct flavor. Its licorice aroma and taste definitely makes for a unique flavor. Our primary use though is to alleviate stomach pain and gas associated with acid reflux. I grew up drinking anise tea my mom would make if any of us felt sick. So today I make tea when I don’t feel so well. It really does help! Stick a few stars in boiling water and let it steep for 3 minutes. I also have started using it to make drinks and dessert. A new fave spice in my rack!
Let’s see. I own over 150 hats and anytime I see a new one I really like, I must have! This one from Banana Republic doesn’t escape my budget! Knit button beanie, $29
This incredibly bad looking Concord C1 Tourbillon Gravity is the hottest thing in men’s timepieces. I’d rock it too! But for $320,000 I’ll stick to my Movado!
