ELLE Magazine Party!

Line up boys and girl, Elle Magazine sure knows how to spice up their appearance! A glam night that truly pampered from its manicures to massages! How could one not feel relaxed from the NYC walking speed?!

"Come Mr. DJ won't you turn the music up!"

The DJ appeared in Teen Vogue!

Thirst quenching!

How cute?! Little mini - watermelon pieces with whipped cream! Last piece - SCORE!

 Loved the color of the couch!

 Interesting...might I add!

 A night of manicures, sweet fruit, spray tans, and the best part - massages!

Yummy = ELLE goodiebag + pink nails for the summer <3

Don't we ALL want this as our room...I'll be calling my interior designer in the future ;D

HOTTT!

The 31st-ranked Mattek-Sands turned heads at Thursday night's Wimbledon player's party in a dress designed by Lady Gaga's designer, Alex Noble

"I had a blast working with him," she said. "It's the funky dress I wanted."

The hat was one of her favorite flourishes. "When you're in England you have to have some cool headwear," she said.

YES COOL INDEED! I want one!

The Glee Project Premieres~!

12 Contestants line up (from 40,000 hopefuls!) to be on Glee's next season! Since the episodes were created and edited months ago, it was hard to believe that the contestants kept who won quiet! I tried looking around for some 'special' facial expressions, but couldn't make out anything from their nonchalant poker faces!

Guess we'll just have to wait and see!

Who will you be rooting for?!

Thoughts of the non-typical 16 year old.

It's that time that they call the end of the school year...

The last days are always the same for the 4 nostalgic years of high school - picture this...

students clearing out their lockers, seniors crying and hugging, freshman yelling "I'm going to miss you" in return for "we must hang out over the summer", and the exchange of goodbyes.

As I attempted to gracefully carry around my 15 books and entered each class to return them, I found myself psychologically and physically releasing the weight that was put on with each class.

I reminisced to the all-nighters, project due dates, and studying off of my note cards on the subway.

I realized I was saying bye to the year with each textbook that I handed over...
Even Facebook adding an acquaintance feels like better closure.

But that was it - no memory of it, just my messy scribbled Nova under "name."
Textbooks are just like people...there's what you see on the outside - the reputation.
They have strong covers, pages of intelligence, and their effect is that overly loud and dramatic narration in your head about biomes.

But you don't meet the subtext, the meaning within a meaning.
No one ever stops to think about who held that textbook years ago as we all sit shocked at a students signature found inside the book from the year 87.'
Was it a student that was trying to pass his first test in the whole year?
Was it a student with a family connection to Harvard with ace-ing A's?
Was it a student who was going to be the first one to go to college?
Was it a student with pressuring parents who wasn't allowed to go out to the biggest party on a school night?
Was it a student who suffered from bullying and being teased for being a 'nerd'?
Was it a student whose priority was helping his immigrant family run the restaurant til 11 each night?
We are ALL more than test grades.
We are storytellers of existence in this Social Darwinist institution of ranking.

WHOA...(!)

Just when you thought that the T.V.s behind Jet Blue chairs were fascinating, airlines are literally raising the standard.

This new transparent ceiling is to be on new airplanes in 40 years!!! Gezz! imagine the prices on that ride?

Forget having more room for feet as airlines promise, this airplane has a place for virtual golf, interactive conferences, 'vitalising seats', mood lighting, aromatherapy and acupressure treatments, tempur-pedic seats to match your shape, virtual changing rooms, and a 'tech' spot!

Its also 100% recyclable - talk about my eco-friendly post below!

My goodness, imagine flying in the clouds, and looking at stars at night?! Can't wait to experience this surreal ride!!! It sounds like it belongs in some Tim Burton sketch.

$ MATTERS so start counting those pennies!

Did you know?!

Con Edison has lowered green house gas emissions by 30% over the last 5 years?!

They have new ideas of how to continue this decline...

-incorporating steam systems, burning natural gas, not burning coal in the city, using clean nuclear power, hydro- fracking (getting gas by drilling into the rock), painting roofs white, and green roofs with plants on top (which Con Edison incorporates), .

$ MATTERS CONFERENCE AT conEDISON Building!

Yum!!! Great way to start off the day - with nutrients to power your brain!

 The city of lights that's powered on ConEDISON!

Katherine L. Boden, Con Edison Vice President of Gas Operations

Rosemonde Pierre-Louis, Deputy Manhattan Borough President
"Woman make a bulk of decisions in the borough of Manhattan-yeah girl power!"
"I love the song who runs the world...Girls! It captures the true girl power. When I'm in the club, and that song comes on I get a little crazy!"
"We now have girls that are presidents, and prime ministers of countries and as I like to say, we kicked the door to the boys club to set a seat at the table."

Anna Lappe, Author
"Behind the perfection of all these wonderful speeches is hard work."
