Protect your Noggin

BySusan Chan

Have you gotten around yet to rent and ride a Citibike? Ok, I know the weather has been less than cooperative with its stifling jungle-like weather, but things should be cooling down hopefully this weekend. Just in time to hop on a bike! But please, please, please, remember to wear a helmet. Biking is great…

Monastic Sunday (lots of pix!)

BySusan Chan

The craziness and the humidity of the city had us seeking out quiet and solace. We went to visit some friends upstate and took advantage of visiting the Chuang Yen Monastery in Kent NY. We were so happy we did. We were surrounded by quiet and beauty. Our main goal was to visit the “Giant…

Brooks Brothers Wellness Fair

BySusan Chan

What a great week it’s been – if you don’t count the weather and the clouds and storms that courted NYC recently. I am feeling the transition of the season and the excitement that usually precedes the long awaited summer temperatures. Change of seasons often get us thinking about changing things around our home and…

Ride NYC

BySusan Chan

More exciting news for NYC! This Memorial Day, our long awaited biking program began. Thanks to Citibike, that means that 6,000 new bikes for rent will be put into action. Perfect for the upcoming summer days when riding the underground heat box (aka: the subway) is a drag. Bike riding is great for saving time…

Let’s do the Twist

BySusan Chan

Ask anybody who knows me well, laundry has never been a pleasant memory and laundry day was a day that you wanted to be anywhere except around me. Who wants to take the time out their super busy schedule to wash dirty clothes, especially in a city like New York where self serve laundrymats are…

A Stellar Recycling Program

BySusan Chan

I wanted to share some beautiful images I came across this weekend. Yes, they are discarded cds, ingeniously transformed into an ocean of beauty and magic by architect Clémence Eliard and artist Elise Morin. Let’s not overlook the fact that the locale is a former public morgue in Paris. Talk about changing the qi of…

Light up My Life

BySusan Chan

I love this time of year. Who doesn’t love ambient stringed lights and a reason to stay indoors and eat warm comfort food? I fondly remember the glow of Christmas lights that hung in my apartment year round when I was well into my late 20s. Ok maybe it was even a little later. Unfortunately…
