Peanut Butter Cookie

Larabar has just released some new flavors for their product lines: Larabar and Jocalat. Although they are all absolutely scrumptious, this has got to be my favorite: Peanut Butter Cookie. My taste buds tell me it is the perfect combination of salty and sweet. When taste testing the new flavors with my husband a few weeks ago, he turned to me and asked, 'So... what's the difference between these bars and a candy bar?" Heh heh heh..!!  Good question, John! What IS the difference? Larabars are derived from WHOLE FOODS; NO added sugar, preservatives, processed anything.

Peanut Butter Cookie Ingredients: Peanuts, Dates and Salt.

Sound Advice for Entrepreneurs

This is a piece of advice derived from the Urban Muse's notes, a woman who blogs about her adventures in reading, writing, and the creative life. She attended an entrepreneurship themed event presented by the Boston chapter of Ladies Who Launch back in May. She posted some of the 'best sound bytes' she picked up here. Here's the rest of her Naysayer quote:

'"Let the naysayers push you forward." Fortunately, most of the people in my life are supportive. But occasionally I run up against someone who just doesn't get why I want to write. One of the women talked about a banker who refused to give her a small business loan to open a clothing boutique, and it forced her to rethink her business model. She said that after thinking about it and refining her idea, it actually ended up better than what she'd envisioned before (now she has a mobile boutique)."'

Masha Dyans

 

For my birthday last month my sister gave me the most stunning card with a picture of a princess and a unicorn on it: she remembers my childhood love of unicorns. Whimsical, free and fun, Masha Dyans' illustrations light me up inside. Above is a sampling of her work: a blank card top left, remaining three are posters and cards alike.
