A Magical Day


After 2 years of being Gluten intolerant and many years with Lactose intolerance

I was walking down the health food aisle in Stop & Shop and there it was......
 

Lactose free Gluten free Cookie Dough Ice cream! 

I have been know to smash up gluten free fake oreos into my rice dream but you can actually buy it like this. 

Valentines day was my 2 year anniversary with no gluten...
So happy anniversary to me!!!!!

its pretty good too. even my husband who loves some gluten said the cookie dough was really good.

Verde Rosa........ My love


 There is a boutique down the street in Woodbury called 
Verde Rosa, it is the most visually stimulating store imaginable. It is in a huge barn with gorgeous hot pink curtains that you can see from the road. They are just lovely.
The ceiling is filled with every color petticoat you can think of. 
Its just perfect. Verde Rosa sells vintage and new designer clothing, accessories, 
jewelry and more. 

 

I love to visit whenever possible.

For the Love of Chocolate
