Project Prom Dress

Ladies, have any prom dresses, bridesmaid dresses, and formalwear hanging in your closet collecting dust? I've got the perfect thing for you...Project Prom Dress at Village of Merrick Park.

From April 8th through April 11th (12 pm to 7 pm), pass by Village of Merrick Park and drop off your gently-worn evening gowns and accessories. The gowns and accessories donated will give girls from the Women of Tomorrow Mentor & Scholarship Program the opportunity to create their ideal prom look.

Project Prom Dress collected over 400 gowns last year so let's try to top that this year.

Drop Off Location: Village of Merrick Park
Garden Level, next to Coach
358 San Lorenzo Avenue
Coral Gables, Florida

Wii Love It!

Nintendo recently sent us over the new Wii Fit Plus to check out and we loved its new features! I've owned a Wii now for about two years now and its my favorite console out there after the Nintendo SNES (I had mine until recently but it finally broke...needless to say I was devastated).

One of the first games we bought was the Wii Fit because my mom and I were trying to lose weight in the comfort of our home. I must admit I only lost three pounds but I definitely had fun doing so with all the activities it provides.

Fast forward two years and along comes the Wii Fit Plus, which includes new balance and aerobic games and new strength training and yoga activities . Some of the new added features that I love are the calorie counter and the free run, which lets you run for longer periods of time at your own pace (I was recently training for a 5K and this option helped alot).

Note: While Nintendo did send us the Wii Fit Plus, it in no way swayed the fact we've always been a huge fan of Nintendo.

Donut Divas

My mom recently introduced me to Donut Divas, a fun Miami-based catering company with a unique concept. I'm kind of upset that I just found out about them since they've been popping up all over Miami for some time now.

For those of you left in the dark too, Donut Divas caters (to any event & venue) fun foods like:

• Mini doughnuts
• Funnel Cakes
• Fried Candy Bars (Oreos, Snickers, etc.)
• Churros

The "fun foods" are made to order on the spot and even provide to-go boxes.

My mouth is watering as I type this...can't wait to try them.
