By: Chrysa Smith I've been a tea drinker for as long as I can remember. I blame it on mom. Whenever other kids were drinking chocolate milk or Hawaiian Punch, I was partaking in the very British tradition of sipping tea. Milk. Sugar. The whole nine yards. So no surprise that I fell in love with Starbucks. It really has been, the first consistent cup of soothing, rich and tasteful tea I've found [...]
By: Chrysa Smith Doylestown is a great town. For one, it has a vibrant food scene which has just gotten better thanks to a new gal in town--Genevieve. Her food philosophy: pure. simple. good. is a growing one in the restaurant biz. And after a stop at her State Street kitchen this week, I'd say her philosophy matches her space and her food. Located directly across the street from The County Theater, Genevieve's Kitchen [...]
By: Chrysa Smith If you're a foodie, a traveler or a fan of the bizarre, you might know Andrew Zimmerman. A favorite on The Travel Channel, the man circles the world, meeting with locals and tasting the delicacies. Sounds like a dream in some ways---new people, new food, new locations. But his show: Bizarre Foods has that name for a reason. I'd dare say that he's one of the bravest guys I've seen. [...]
By: Chrysa Smith Remember when you first learned that 'Girls Rule?' Kindergarten? While nursing? Well, it's likely that at some point, you did. And maybe you felt that way because someone told you so--or you did something wonderful that made you believe that you, a girl, had to be superior. But it was possibly the fact that for some tasks, you, a girl, are just hard-wired better than a boy. And that's always a [...]
By: Chrysa Smith No secret--I love to shop. From the youngest days in elementary school to present day, I think I've always gotten my jollies when I've scored a new, stylish piece of clothing; especially at a great price. No surprise. I'd venture to say most women do. It's just nice to be in style and score something new. But when the credit card statement comes, I cringe just a bit. Even though [...]
By: Chrysa Smith It's still January. And there are still those resolutions floating around. Have you broken yours yet? Eat less. Work out more. Be kinder. Less judgmental (one of mine), yada, yada, yada. If you get right down to it, most resolutions are about doing more, more, more. And that means more to judge about yourself, more to juggle, and likely more capacity to fail. And what we're likely to do when [...]
By: Chrysa Smith I opened my eyes, turned on the television and saw the usual Sunday morning news about the upcoming NFL Eagles game (well, this was before they crapped out). But it wasn't just a report on the time, the opponent, the stats. It was an interview with several of the hundreds of men; yes grown men, who pack up their kitchens, their housing, their football gear, their heating elements, hot tub [...]
