2018 New Years Resolutions
Wednesday, January 31, 2018
I feel that writing them down makes a big difference because it makes it more concrete and it's something I can look back at to hold myself accountable to make sure I'm still on track. I just completed a workshop on Vision Board planning so I’m finally ready to write down my goals.
Get On Your Feet!
Thursday, January 11, 2018
I went to opening night of Get On Your Feet which is Gloria Estefan's Broadway musical about her life story. After playing in New York for two years, it's now on tour playing in DC for the month of January then traveling around the country. You'll be dancing in your seat, smiling and singing along to all the songs. The vibrant show is pure joy and my favorite musical to date! It was nominated for a Tony award for Best Choreography. Expect to hear all her classic songs like Rhythm is Going to Get You, 1-2-3, Dr. Beat, Conga, Get On Your Feet, Turn the Beat Around.
At the Kennedy Center honors a couple weeks the honorees were LL Cool J, Gloria Estefan, Lionel Richie and dancer Carmen de Lavallade. It’s an award given to people who have achieved artist excellence. For Gloria’s segment the cast of her Broadway musical sang a medley of her songs, you can see the clip here.
I recently read an interesting article titled Why So Many D.C. Plays End Up On Broadway.
Sugar Free Cranberry Orange Loaf
Friday, January 5, 2018
I haven't baked a cake in awhile and wanted something low cal for dessert. With it being winter I'm not in the mood to eat my usual low cal treat of Halo Top ice cream. It's cranberry season so I baked this delicious moist cake with a mixture of erythritol and monkfruit instead of sugar. Monkfruit is a small melon grown in Asia. Previously I had always used stevia as my sugar replacement which tastes bitter raw, but monkfruit tastes sweet just like sugar and is zero calories! I used Earth Balance which is a plant based buttery spread but you can use regular butter or for even less calories just cooking spray.
Top Songs of 2017
Tuesday, January 2, 2018
Here are my top favorite songs from the year that I had on repeat for a long time. I don't follow Kylie Jenner, but like all the men the Kardashians date, they elevate their fame. Kylie put Travis Scott on my radar and now I love his music. Sky Walker was my favorite song of the year, hands down! When I had my first computer a long time ago I changed the start up music so that it played Foxy Brown - Gotta Get Me Home every time I turned on my computer. When I heard The Game sampled from that song, I fell in love with his song! Chris Brown did a reggae remix that was good. And when I was in Cuba I heard the song Despacito everywhere that I'm sick of it now! lol But Camila Cabello - Havana song is warming up on me but hasn't made the list yet.
