Bombay?s Chocolate Best
2008-06-05 11:34:00 It’s only fair that I should eventually combine my love of Bombay with my passion for chocolate.

Wisdom from Paulo Coelho
2008-06-05 11:13:00 Whenever a moment of weakness crosses my path, I refer back to Master Coelho and his “Warrior of the Light” manual.

Powerful Woman vs. Inadequate Girl
2008-05-28 17:42:00 On plane trips I usually enjoy reading women’s magazines.

Bombay - Reloaded
2008-05-14 22:52:00 I have been really in mood for Bombay these last few weeks. It may be that the weather here in NYC has been less than spring-like… Or perhaps I miss Him, someone who always represented Bombay to me. That, in turn, makes me miss the city… Who knows. But anyway, I wish to share one ... More About: Adventures

Chocolate and Wine: the Perfect Combination
2008-05-07 23:51:00 My lovely friend Valerie recently forwarded to me an email from NYC chocolate factory Vere.

Five Favorite Films

Is Chocolate Truly Better Than?
2008-04-23 21:00:00 My Facebook friend Michel sent me this awesome article about kissing and chocolate.

I mean, having a wonderful man or woman ... More About: Chocolate

A Poem by Kabous Verwoed
2008-04-17 11:26:00 This is one talented South African poet.

Once you have read it through, I suggest checking out the author reading it on YouTube. The imagery only adds ... More About: Opinion , Poem

It?s a Hair Thing?
2008-04-03 14:45:00 Towards the end of last year, I became a vegetarian. Right around the end of February of this year, I started to notice that my hair just didn’t shine as it used to.

Chocolate as a Beauty Treatment??
2008-03-13 10:40:00 YES, it’s true, our own favorite sinful temptation of the senses - OK, second favorite, after sex?! - can now become the most moisturizing face masque around.

See Bombay? and Love
2008-03-05 12:34:00 SEE BOMBAY… AND LOVE Bombay always has a way of teaching me about life. Valentine’s Day two years ago, it taught me the power of gossip and how that insidious worded threat can ruin something special between two people, even if that something is a simply fabulous friendship.

Home is Where the Heart is?
More articles from this author:2008-02-15 06:26:00 It has been hard for me to come up with the Adventures column during these winter months.
