"The Rainbow Comes ad Goes" by Anderson Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt I started reading this book while in line to meet Anderson Cooper at a book signing in Madison, Connecticut.  This was truly an excellent and interesting read.  Gloria Vanderbilt had such an insane and thrilling life, and Anderson Cooper was perfect at interviewing his mother.  I definitely recommend this book to anyone, whether a fan of Anderson Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt, or just someone interested in pop culture and biographies.  This was a fast read.     "The Starboard Sea" by Amber Dermont I bought this book because it was on sale and it was inexpensive.  However, I ended up loving it, and I'm so happy it was on sale that day in Barnes and Noble, for if it wasn't, I probably would have never read it or picked it up.   This book is about the lives of very wealthy teenagers at boarding school, but the main character, Jason, is spilling the secrets on ...

Ever since I was sixteen I've been trying to go color my hair blonder and blonder.  I've been a blonde for more than half my life, I started going blonde when I was eleven, but continued to go platinum once I reached high school. With fall coming up, I decided it was the perfect time to change up my look a bit.  I didn't want to do anything too drastic, but I did want a nice change.  So I went to my friend Jen, a hairstylist at Blades Salon in Wethersfield,Connecticut, and she had the most perfect idea, instead of dying my hair another color, she used a red glaze to stain it. Above is a picture of me right before getting my hair done.  As one can see my hair was very blonde.  My friend Jen mixed the glaze together, added a bit of heat, washed it out and boom, I was a red head.  It's been a week now and my hair is incredible!  It's so soft and looks a lot healthier than it's looked in years.  The red adds a beautif...

On August first my Dad, boyfriend, and I rented a car and drove from Connecticut to New Orleans, Louisiana.  It was almost a twenty two hour drive, and with constant stops, we made it in two days.  And what was the first thing we did once we arrived in New Orleans?  We got coffee, at one of the most famous coffee shops in Louisiana. Café Du Monde is a must if you find yourself in the French Quarter.  Located on 800 Decatur Street, this coffee shop had the best frozen café au lait.  My boyfriend and I were fighting over it because he played it safe and just got a coffee.  The frozen café au lait was like a blended coffee drink, with the consistency of a Dunkin Donuts coolatta, but the comparisons end there because it was so much richer and better than a coolatta.  And of course with our coffee we had to order a round of beignets, since Café Du Monde is famous for their New Orleans's doughnuts. The café was packed.  We weren't sure if we...

Vinci 1 Victoria Vinci English 102 Professor Jones March 21, 2016 The Yellow Wallpaper             In “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman the narrator claims to have given birth, but isn’t taking care of the baby, because her husband, John, wants her to rest.   John is a “physician of high standing” and he prescribed his wife rest treatment (308).   The treatment takes place in a large summer home, where John’s sister, Jennie, helps take care of the narrator when John isn’t around.   The narrator is confined to a room with bars over the windows, a bolted down bed, and yellow wallpaper that the narrator severely hates.   The narrator fixates on the wallpaper, even believing it gives off a smell.   She claims to see images within it.   The narrator believes to see women, in various situations like being caged and trapped, but claims the women escape during the d...

Nothing fancy, but this was a last minute request for the not for profit I volunteer for, Birthday Cakes 4 Free, Middlesex County, Connecticut .  I got this request from a girl's mom who said her daughter wanted a white cake with blue frosting and something nautical themed.  I only had four days, but I think they came out kind of cute. I got almost all my supplies off Amazon Prime.  Everything but the ingredients for the cake and frosting, but Amazon Prime saved me so much time and money and stress because all I had to do was go to my local grocery store instead of also going out of my way looking for craft store supplies, which probably would have left me checking multiple stores, while Amazon had everything in one place with free two day shipping. Anyway, I delivered the cupcakes this morning and the mother who sent in the request was so nice and extremely grateful.  She sent me the sweetest email I just had to screenshot it.  Hope everyone is hav...
