24/7 Freshness

Yes thank God that I am fresh and the fact it is Friday as well. This entry was really meant for my wellness Wednesdays but now is the perfect time to share in my great experience of discovering The Coupe located in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of DC. I was looking for a good place to eat at any day of the week and this is like a upscale diner that feels compfortable as though you could be at home. 

I looked at the menu and was amazed how everything was perfect for me to taste and try. Really I wanted to start of light so I just gravitated to the soups, salads and sides. The main dish for me was the Cucumber Salad and what really caught me was the ingredients of pickled Watermelon. I decided on the Mac & Cheese because I knew that something warm would be good but the best of that night was the Cucumber Salad with Red onion, jalapeño, mint, cilantro, tomato and yogurt brûlée which was so good. Overall, the ingredients are fresh and full enjoyment is guarenteed. Oh, and this is a kid friendly place because they also have movie nights on Mondays which I might catch sometime. 

A week later and I am sharing my wonderful experience that was completely natural feeling and I had no make-up on what so ever, only a moisturizer.

Wellness Wednesdays: Avocados

For Wednesdays the focus will be on nutrition and what is being digested in the body that also has benefits for the skin. Avocados are so beneficial in many ways such as heart health, preventing signs of aging and moisture for the skin. I know that all of the vegetarians and die hard vegans will love all the pictures I have of avocados. If all the ingredients do not really suit you than you can always put the avocados on your skin to hydrate yourself. When avocados are involved there is no need to count your calories, just enjoy their goodness.

 I learned that avocados are known as alligator pears and comes from the Aztec word ahuacati, which you can find the meaning here.


Breakfast has been served, A BEAT crossaintwich (Bacon-Egg-Avocado-Tomato) formerly known as BLT, minus the lettuce plus eggs and avocados. 
Burger King has nothing on this.

Tints


I performed another eyebrow tint and until I perfect that service than I will be doing it free of charge for anyone interested. At school I use the Intensive brand but when it comes to house calls I use the tinting kits from Godefroy for eyebrows. For the eyelash tinting that will be for special requests only with appointments made at least four days in advance.

I do eyelash tinting and love doing eyebrow tinting because of the amazing results. If anyone is interested in have me host a "Tinting" party than let me know. Contact email is buymyartwork@aol.com and there is so much to look forward to.
