Clark's in New York City where she saw Anthony Sullivan do demonstrations with OxiClean and provide helpful tips on how to stay stain-free, especially during the upcoming holiday season. Please visit her at her lovely blog MyLifeSimpleandbeautiful.com.} I have to admit, I had never used Oxiclean before and was skeptical of all the things I've seen or heard on TV so when Lisa asked me to cover this event for her I … [Read more...]

October 24, 2010 by 1 Comment
There's a new trend here at New York Chica where I give a special Shout-Out to those bloggers who had a great post (at least I think so ) for the week.

Easy Recipe: No-Boil Lasagna (Sabroso Saturday)
October 23, 2010 by 14 Comments
My family loves lasagna. What's not to love? You've got pasta, sauce, cheese and meat. It's like heaven on a plate if you ask me. I know there are many different ways on making lasagna like without meat, eggplant, spinach, chicken but I always make it with ground beef and sometimes I add a couple of Italian sausages. I'm a carnivore (not so much of a veggie person) so I cannot eat a lasagna made without meat. It's the substance I need in a meal. Back in March, I attended an event that … [Read more...]

Ramblings: Do You Believe in Ghosts?
October 18, 2010 by 10 Comments
With Halloween just around the corner, there's tons of shows and movies on TV about ghosts, goblins and teen slashers. But to some, ghosts are not only on the big screen. There are also tons of shows about "real" ghosts like Ghost Hunters on SyFy, The Haunted on Animal Planet, Paranormal State on A&E and many more. I was once a skeptic when it came to ghosts until I met my hubby (boyfriend back then). Although I never encountered spirits or ghosts, the stories he told would make my … [Read more...]
