Body Scrubs & Soften Hard Brown Sugar

I ordered a body scrub online today, and it's gonna take me a few days to get it. I got a little sunburn by accident about a week ago when I was swimming. I can't stand the dead skin on my body anymore. I can't wait to exfoliate my skin, I need to do it ASAP. So, I did some research on homemade body scrubs. There were some good ones which required brown sugar. I got brown sugar, but it's very hard and I couldn't get it out. Then, I had to do some more research on how to soft hard brown sugar and I came across some great articles. Anyway, I'm going to try it tonight! That sounds super exciting!

@ The Pearl Restaurant on Treasure Island

I was at the Pearl Restaurant last Friday..late update. The restaurant is located on Treasure Island, FL. To be honest, the outside didn't look very appealing to me, but the decor inside was very nice and elegant. Our waiter was friendly and outgoing. The food was great and I was quite impressed. They have this early special, which is $10 per dinner dish. It is a great deal, and the food is just amazing.

NYC again in December!

I'm planning to go to NYC again this December before Christmas with four other family members. I have been to the city a few times, but not really traveled around. I was always in a hurry. We have four days to spend. I'm planning to see some famous attractions and landmarks in or near the city. Also, I'm planning to eat at some famous restaurants and do a lot of shopping. It should be a fun time there before Christmas. I want to stay at a hotel near Times Square which is close to many things, but the prices of the hotels are ridiculously high in that area. Still have a lot of plannings to do. Luckily, I have several months to figure it out.

Some websites I found which might be helpful:

First Time Greek Food

I went to a Greek restaurant for the first time. Right, I've never had Greek food before. The restaurant was loud but fun. Several drunk people here and there.
