Med. Med. Med.
I'm a true believer in eating right. Walking out of a restaurant where you've just had an amazing meal and you're more than satisfied is one of life's pleasures. Over the past month, I've had the privilege to go to many amazing restaurants, but there's one that I particularily enjoyed VERY much, SO much that I visited it twice in a span of a week. Located on the trendy stretch of Montreal hottest street St. Laurent Boulevard, known to many as The Main, close to Sherbrooke street and surrounded by MANY uber trendy restaurants is Med. Owned and operated by Giorgio Damiani and Gianni Caruso of the famed Bice, Cavalli, Buonna Notte and Primadonna, Med exceeded my expectations both times I visited. The atmosphere is spectacular with a funky and upscale decor, the music just right and the food spectacular. Although the prices are a bit high, it's what you pay for a restaurant like Med and in my opinion, its really worth it. It's one of the best supperclubs in the city. It opens at 3 in the afternoon and stays open as a restaurant until 10: 30 pm when suddenly all the tables are pushed up against the wall, the drapes are closed and DJ Teddy Flores starts spinning some of the city's hottest tracks. It's a place where the city's rich, famous and glamour flock and attracts those clients from New York, Hollywood and beyond. Keep your eye out for many of the boys from the Montreal Canadiens, they're regulars at this place!
Livin' It Up in Los Angeles, California
Everybody has dreams. Whether it's to travel across the world or to accomplish something that is very important to them. I have many dreams, but i start by accomplishing the small ones and gradually do everything I can to make my big dreams come true. I dream of traveling to some of the world's most glamourous places, wearing some of the world's most luxurious clothes and eating at some of the world's most expensive restaurants. After all, this is what this blog is all about. All those places. I've already talked to you about my experiences in the city that NEVER sleeps, the one and only New York City, a city that i'm proud to call my second home and probably the city that I know better than the one that I actually live in, but there's another city that also has part of my heart. Otherwise known as The City of Angels or The City where dreams come true, Los Angeles. I dream of being able to walk down Rodeo Drive and dine in West Hollywood. The city has been on my mind A LOT recently, so today, I've compiled a list of places I wish to visit when I do go.

Music Music Music!
As a really big fan of techno and house music, I came across an amazing song recently!
It's called Take Over Control by Afrojack!
Have a listen and let me know what you think!
GO HABS GO!
Does This Make You BLUSH?
Soo, a couple of days ago I was sitting in my hotel room in Vermont watching TV and I came across a show that I thought was new, but to my surprise, it actually made it's TV debut in 2008. It's called Blush: The Search For The Next Great Makeup Artist.
What prompted me to write this post about it was my friend who's doing a Youtube channel on makeup and different looks and from what i've seen, her work is amazing!
Okay, back to this show! So, I watched the remainder of the episode and it looked really cool. If you like The Rachel Zoe Project, you'll like this. Or if you have any interest in makeup or any other talent show for that matter, this is a cool show to watch. It's on Lifetime TV so I definitely recommend you checking it out.
R to the Z!
Soo, everyone has a guilty pleasure right?! Whether it's chocolate or a reality tv show EVERYONE has one. Mine just happens to be a reality tv show that I absolutely LOVE and don't exactly feel so guilty about watching.
The Rachel Zoe Project made it's TV debut in 2008 on the television network Bravo! It follows the everyday life of celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe, one of my favorite people IN THE WORLD and someone's who is a great inspiration to me every day. Cameras follow her through the very stressful award season to the very exciting fashion weeks around the world! Obviously, that does sound VERY exciting but there's also NO lack of drama in this show. Crazy assistants to fashion disasters make this series VERY interesting and it's definitely something you need to tune into every week!
2011
Happy New Year to all!
This year is going to be an exciting year for many reasons, ESPECIALLY this blog! 2011 is the year i'll be taking TWO very exciting trips. One to California and one to New York City, WHICH MEANS that there will a ton of new restaurant reviews, neighborhood reviews and A LOT more coming your way!
