Totally Rando

Get Rando with your pictures.

Rando is a newer app that bucks the trend of traditional photo sharing apps.  Instead of sending images for all of your friends to ooo and aahh over, you send them to a COMPLETE stranger.  And only one person will see it.

So why would someone want to do this?

'The idea, the developers explain, was born out of fond memories of the occasional mix-ups that occurred in the days when taking pictures meant dropping off film to be developed. Every so often, some absentminded clerk would slip someone else’s photos in your envelope, and you’d get an unexpected glimpse into some anonymous life. If you’ve ever looked through some old packet of photos at a flea market, you’ll be familiar with this unique mix of voyeurism, mystery, and serendipity.'

Want to see what my first 3 Rando's look like?

Are these 'better' then what I would post on Instagram? No. But I like the idea of taking pictures for fun that don't need a reason or a story. 

I will Rando on.

How did I learn about Rando? Right here.

Pumpecapple

This year I heard and learned more about turnduckins then I ever cared to.

BUT

A Pumpercapple Piecake?

That is a whole other story.

You might ask:
What is a Piecake?  Well it is a pie that is baked inside a cake.

What is a Pumpecapple?
The Pumpecapple piecake consists of the following scratch pies, cake and icing from bottom to top (feel free to change the order):

Pumpkin Pie baked in a pumpkin spice cake
Filled with crème cheese icing

Pecan Pie (or chocolate pecan pie) baked in chocolate cake
Filled with crème cheese icing 

Apple pie baked in our spice cake
Iced all over with our crème cheese icing

Garnished with pecan pieces And topped with a generous drizzle of carmel.

And it is calorie free! Well, not maybe not.  A serving size is 2,000 calories...

Sadly this is not a local treat!  Check out http://3brothersbakery.com/

Running Shoes On

I have never understood running.

But, I do like shoes.

While on a recent flight I took the time to read the inflight magazine and came across some very cool running shoes that I thought were worth a second look.

SKORA Running shoes are made in such a way that the center of your foot does the work and not your heel.  The goal is to give as close to a natural stride as possible.

Plus they are pretty cute.

 So here are the reasons:
 

And here is some technical stuff about them.

I especially like the side laces, totally brilliant.

And here is a cuter picture of them.

And here is some more running stuff for the runners out there!

Red Stag - Black Cherry

I am a scotch drinker.  

When given the option it is almost always my first choice.

That being said there was something about the package, or the display or the sale that made me think twice about walking past the Red Stag - Black Cherry.

At first taste it was SWEET and not in the good way, but after finding just the right mixer it became the hit of the night.

Cheers!

Wellness - Nabacu

The opportunity to explore Eastern medicine presented itself today.

Myself and Noah had appointments for acupressure massages from Nabacu

Unsure of what to expect as we entered the standard looking office building, I was plesantly surprised when we walked through the suite doors.  The peaceful music and smiling faces that greated us immediately put me at ease.  After settling our paperwork, we sat to enjoy a bit of water and tea before our sessions.

Dr. Wang came and sat with us to discuss her background and what she could help us with (based on our answers on the new patient forms).  It was very nice of her to take the time to discuss our services and benefits as well as some of the other services that are offered.  Her approach was very frank and to the point, yet warm.

Jenny used a firm hand starting at the neck and working her way down.  Utilizing her whole arms, the pressure was a lot at times, but nothing that hurt.  I think my favorite part of the acupressure was when she pressed the points on my arm from my elbow to my hands.

Afterwards my back though sore was flexible and I am looking into contacting my insurance company to see if they can help pay for me to come back!

If you are interested in seeing it Eastern medicine is right for you here are some specials for the month of February!
