FIEND Find: Baked by Melissa

I was wandering Union Square dolo went these little jewels caught my eye. Since little things aren’t always as promising as they look I decided to dive-in for full on FF review. HANDS DOWN absolutely adore Baked by Melissa. I’ll be bringing EVERY flavor back with me this week.

I tried these 3 flavors. They’re literally the size of a quarter.

Cinnamon, Cookie Dough, and Peanut Butter = $3.00

Hit the jump to see what else I got into on my quick trip to NY!

Brooklyn’s Finest

Wesley Snipes & Don Cheadle

Ethan Hawke & Antoine Fuqua

Brooklyn’s Finest  was comparable to an east coast version of Training Day. Not a coincidence considering its the same director! The movie comes out March 5th and if you’re into the crooked cop scenarios and moral dilemmas check it out! Interviewing the cast was awesome….they were all so cool. A little bummed I didn’t see Richard Gere anywhere :(

On some loner shit.

Sometimes I just get on some loner shit. Ever do that? Not sure if it was prompted by Valentine’s Day since I seem to be the most single person alive….but honestly, I do it regardless of what holiday occurs…I zone out. Here’s some randomness from the crib de La. At least the little guy in the painting kept me some company!

Fiend FIND: Stella Mare

stoked to find these at my local Fresh&Easy. I could literally smell them from down the isle. you can see how good these candles are from the listed ingredients. we all love stuff that smells good but truth is, candles, lotions, and perfumes contain loads of chemicals. Maybe you don’t mind, but if you are looking for an alternative that smells AWESOME and is AFFORDABLE…I reccommend THIS. my bedroom smells lovely. Also peep the Lotus brand she does. So cute, I recommend the guava coconut! (these are little pricier)

From what I can recall I paid around 5 bucks for this candle and I burned it almost everyday for two weeks. Online it says 8.99 but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t buy a candle this size for that much. I will verify on my next trip to Fresh&Easy.

Foodie FIEND: Breakfast

I NEVER EVER skip breakfast. Here’s what I typically eat for breakfast. This is a personal concoction, not anything I read anywhere. But it’s what I have for now, so I hope u dig it.

1 whole wheat pita

2 egg whites

1 slice pepper jack cheese

1 egg white = 17 calories, 1 wheat pita = 130 calories, 1 slice pepper jack = 70 calories = 234 calories

.5 cup blueberries = 40 calories

.5 cup of strawberries = 23 calories

.5 banana = 45 calories

1 cup rice milk = 120 calories

total = 228 calories

My breakfast is less than 500 calories. Which almost what I burn by doing normal daily activity. Add in one bikram yoga session which burns 884 calories a session for my height and weight, it’s like eating nothing….except that you are, it tastes awesome, and is healthy! enjoy!!!
