Blood Orange Smoothie Recipe

There's no shame in having an addiction to blood oranges. They're unique, pretty and taste so good. But when Alex nonchalantly (and yet filed playful determination) reminds me of the army of fruit taking over our refrigerator, I realize it's probably time to get creative with the citrus. So I did a little Googling and after a little bit became a lot, I decided to head over to Martha Stewart's because she might have a recipe or two. As it turns out, she had thirteen. Overwhelmed with options, I guess those delicious thirteen will save for another day because in the process of food searching, I started craving our (simple) homemade smoothie recipe instead. Go figure. 

 There are no rules and a lot of flexibility in this recipe. If you prefer a tangier smoothie flavor, toss in another slice of lemon. If you have a sweet tooth, try one of these options... extra strawberries, 2 tbps of honey or even a tbsp of raw sugar. Make sure to wash all fruit prior to blending. 

1 cup ice 
3 small strawberries, hulled 
2 thin slices of lemon, remove seeds 
Juice from 3 medium blood oranges
1 small banana 
1 pinch of cinnamon

Toss contents into your blender and mix together with complete enthusiasm. Garnish if desired and enjoy!

Brooklyn cinder block

I want to tell you about Max Steiner, one of my favorite new designers whose visionary buoyancy sheds new light on his innate talent to see outside the box. When I was first contacted by Max, about a week ago, I did what anyone would do. I browsed his website . And as an artist, was instantly drawn to the various elements of his inspiring collections. Conceptualizing the simplicity of paper folding, Max tells me, "Folding paper since I was five years old has led to my ORIGAMI collection, one of my most popular. Working in an industrial neighborhood in Brooklyn has led to the development of the CINDER BLOCK collection." And the results are flawlessly executed. Not only does he incorporate an organic wearability through his architectural jewelry, but the fact that he does so with such an influential voice of his everyday surroundings, adds an extraordinary amount of intimacy that's hard to come by. Thank you, Max for my rad new cinder bloc...

Beginnings brought us together

Here we are, watching as another year comes to an end like that of a spectator scarecrow to its annual sport. It's frightening, exhilarating, and hopeful as I advance at the thought of so many new possibilities. It's strange though, because it almost feels like it was just yesterday that 2009 was ending, and now at the crossroads of 2010, it too pulses its final, melodic moments... moments that will inevitably find us years later. There's been a wealth of changes this year, both good and bad. And some I've shared with you, while others were placed in a secret treasure box, tired and dusty. Breathing, laughing, crying, loving, and aching through and with new understanding, I've faced unforeseen circumstances valiantly, felt insolvent to the ennui of habit, astonished with reverie and expectation, cheered at new publications, joyfully-overwhelmed by an artistic proficiency I didn't even know existed, smiled in light of novel words and poetry, broke up, woke up, m...
