Disney FROZEN Review & Exclusive Photos! In Theaters TODAY! #DisneyFrozen

As a huge fan of Disney films and owner of pretty much all the “classics”, I honestly believe Disney's new movie FROZEN is yet another triumphant film, fit to call a classic.  I was truly overwhelmed with emotions while watching this film.  I was so connected to each character in a special way and when the story came to an end, tears just came down my face because it was just so beautiful.  The narrative is inspired by a fairy tale (Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Snow Queen”), a story of two … [Read more...]

I enjoy Lidia's recipes because her approach is fresh, rustic, and simple. We … [Read more...]

The Affordable Art Fair Kickoff Event at The W Recap @AAFNYC

For me art is a form of translating and expressing feelings, thoughts, memories and passions that are aren't so easy to translate into words.
