Foodies

Do you tend to frequent the same restaurants? N and I always find ourselves falling back on old favorites. On Monday, we started a new tradition of trying out a new restaurant once a month. We kicked things off at Masa in Boston's South End and loved it. Our meals were devoured in no time at all and the sangria was the perfect way to end a hot summer day.

I also like to take advantage of Boston's Restaurant Week. This year, P.B.S., Frank and I have chosen to dine at The Fireplace in Brookline.

What's your favorite dinner spot in Boston? Hole-in-the-wall or upscale? Let me know, we'd love to add to our list.

Lollipop Fingers

I only get French manicures. Never a fun color, just French tips with OPI Sugar Daddy on top. Not because I'm scared of the endless wall of color choices at my nail salon, but because I have a fear that my fingers look like giant lollipops with colored nails. Long, skinny, pale fingers + bright, summery, fashion-forward color = LOLLIPOPS.

At dinner with Frank and P.B.S., I was admiring Frank's perfect pink nails, so I had to ask, "what color nail polish is that?" She let me know it was OPI Strawberry Margarita.

Yes, I'm crazy and went on the OPI site to see what it would look like with my skin tone. Doesn't look bad at all! Now, if you could just extend the length of the fingers on the digital hand we'd be in business. I've decided that I'm 25 and I'm going to embrace my lollipop fingers. I'm getting a manicure this afternoon and my mind is set on Strawberry Margarita.

Color vs. French? What is your favorite nail polish color?

Pandora

For those of you that haven't tried Pandora Radio, I highly recommend it. I just started using it this morning and I've become a fast fan.

The program pretty much designs a personalized radio station based on your fave tunes. All you have to do is choose one of your favorite songs or artists and it will quickly find songs with musical similarities to your choice.

This not only helps you find new songs you might not be familiar with, but also helps the day fly by because you aren't constantly scanning through your iPod to find just the right track.

Frank - thanks for sending this my way :)
