Welcome!

Welcome to Blossoms Anew, formally Blooming in NYC! I recently relocated to a new city on the Eastern Seaboard, Providence, Rhode Island. Since moving, I realized that many of the same lessons that I learned in NYC have carried over here and I am continually striving to reach my personal best. Please join me as I continue to grow as a young lady, transplanted to Southern New England.

Block Party 2

I never heard so much about Dave Chappelle's Block Party until I moved to Brooklyn. I must admit, I'm probably one of the last people to have seen it. In fact, I just watched it about two weeks ago on a flight down to TX. After always making references to it and me never knowing what he's talking about, a good friend of mine..."let me borrow he's DVD".

I knew that is was filmed in Bed-Stuy in 2004 (2 years prior to my arrival) but I wasn't sure where they were exactly. That was until I watched the film. To my surprise, they were right around the corner from my job! I've actually walked down that street and have been inside the same Salvation Army that was in the film.

Now that I'm here, Dave Chappelle should do another Block Party. The Block Party 5 Year Anniversary! Same artists, same place, and the same time. I wonder...

A for Avacodo


Until recently, I have never seen avocados eaten so much! Every day in the teacher's room at my job, someone is adding this odd-colored fruit (yes, it's a fruit) to a salad or sandwich. It was my understanding that this smooth criminal was high in fat. What's the deal on the health front?
