Who wants to hear the usual New Year’s resolutions? I mean how many of us actually stick to it? Kudos to anyone who has, but I thought it would be better to list the 10 funniest New Year’s resolutions acccording to Associatedcontent.com


10. I will make my husband happy and pretend to become a baseball fan. 
I will get through this by secretly sending hate mail to Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez. 
9. I will not congratulate any women on their pregnancy, unless I am absolutely sure she is indeed with child and didn't just gain some weight. 
8. I will openly admit I am a fan of iCarly, and it isn't my daughter who insists on watching this tween comedy show; 
however, it is I who beg her to watch with me. 
7. I will not watch any more reality shows that involve twelve dysfunctional women, a rich bachelor and many bottles of whiskey. Why relive my twenties? 
6. I will stop using the excuse that I am a very busy new mom; therefore, I can't shower often, especially since my daughter is now six. 
5. I will abandon the phrases LOL and OMG once and for all. 
4. I will only log into Facebook five or six times a day as opposed to my usual twenty to thirty times per day. 
3. I will accept the fact that I will ever stick to my resolution I have had for the last ten years, that I will go on a diet. 
To heck with it:  I resolve to eat whatever I want, forever. 
2. I will cut way down on my alcohol intake, like way down to only four cocktails per day. 
1. I will stop writing drunken emails to ex-lovers at 3:00 AM after finishing off a bottle of wine alone.

Hats for Sale, Little ItalyNYP_Bella Mimo
Photo by Kitty from New York Portraits

At Bella Mimo, a small store on Mulberry Street, you can get hats, t-shirts, sunglasses and souvenirs until late at night. Little Italy is known for its large Italian restaurants that cater to tourists, but there are some small stores, too.

There are many such shops scattered around New York. Very few have sales people sitting outside, minding the merchandise. When I took this photo, it must have been well below freezing with the wind chill.

Carter & Kime

Website: www.protectedbyart.com 
Where to find them: Bryant Park,  Booth C 03,  41 St. and 6th Ave.
carter@protectedbyart.com kime@protectedbyart.com


THE ARTIST'S STATEMENT:
"to inspire inspiration"

We start the process with selecting a background color and then choose colors that best complement that particular portrait, or case, if you will.  Once Carter is done putting his finishing  touch on the case and/or canvas, we let it dry.  Kime then hand-brushes a high-gloss finishing lacquer, which preserves and protects the art for all time.

Our goal is to express ourselves on an emotional and intimate level, ensuring all doors are left open for others to enter.

THE EXHIBIT:


THE WORKSPACE:
"We Call It the Laboratory"-- Booth C03, Bryant Park
Materials: acrylic paint, high-gloss finish, paint brushes.
Accessibility: 7 days a week.  N,R,W,Q,7,A,C,E,1,2,3,B,D,F,V trains

Reflecting with David - Reflexology

Reflexology

One of my favorite massages is reflexology of the feet. I do have a soft spot for a foot massage, as undoubtedly most people do. What is better than someone rubbing your feet after a hard day's post-Xmas shopping?

Reflexology is the science that deals with the principle that there are reflexes in the hands and feet which correspond to all the organs, systems and glands of the body. These reflexes access and influence all parts of the body via a network of biomagnetic pathways, also known as meridians, that pass from the feet up through the body. All mammals use the constant but varying pressure of walking on uneven surfaces to power this mechanism, which regulates and stimulates healing in all parts of the body. Over 5,000 years ago in China it was discovered that the practice of wearing shoes prevented this mechanism from working, and our health naturally declined.  It was then that reflexology was born.READ MORE...
