Looks like a place worth going to! I think Happy Hour and a couple appetizers will give you an idea if you like the place or not. They also serve Dinner as well. It looks like a swanky venue the ones you see in the city but we need your feedback on your experience. Please comment. Thanks!

Well, I have to admit that I have been a busy little bee over the past week or so and haven’t had a chance to get out and experience our beloved little area myself, so I am going to borrow for an expert.

New York Times New Jersey Section reviewer Karla Cook recently paid a visit to the Italian restaurant with an Ecuadorian twist. The location in downtown Trenton is ideal for the lunch crowd, although the owners are looking to increase their dinner clientele.  Check out the complete NYT review, or go for yourself and let us know what you thought!!

Larry Shulan is in the business of renting out exotics and unique vehicles whether its a present, special occasion, or even a cruise.  His rates are reasonable and his cars are super fast! The rentals are located in Allentown New Jersey but there are services for pick up and drop off. If you want something more toned down Larry has the 4-doors, convertibles, and SUV’s.  If your in the need for speed he’s got a selection that will make a car enthusiast drop to his knees.  My personal favorite is the Gallardo.  The power will throw you back in the seat with just little nudge to the gas and a click to the paddle shifter. After you’ll want to trade down for the Mercedes smart car.  Check out his website here

Boy, I wish I had a lot of cash to burn!!  I just got back from the “Style on the Square” fashion show in Princeton.  It was so much fun!  I hope some of you were able to make it out there.

The fashion show was held at the Nassau Inn this afternoon and was the culmination of Princeton’s Fashion Week.  Participating stores included Aerosoles, Au Courant Opticians, Banana Republic, Bluemercury, Bucks County Dry Goods, Chico’s, Cotton Company, Dandelion, Design Within Reach, Ici Fashion for Children, Lace Silhouettes Lingerie, Nine West, The Papery of Princeton, Pawtisserie, Salon Vis A Vis, Stacy Gemma, and Talbots Kids.  The stores provided clothing for the models (women, children, dogs and one brave gentleman - all volunteers), who shined as they strutted their stuff on the runway.  Refreshments were provided, and a few raffles were held. 

With the fashions broken into career, weekend and evening sections, each participating store showcased their hottest styles for the fall.  The big crowd pleasers were the two young boys who hammed it up for the crowd with winks and muscles, the young girl models, and one lady who braved one of her runway passes like the best of them with shoes too big for her feet.  The common fashion themes included grey sweater dresses, opaque tights, chunky high heels, and green and brown anything.  I personally am obsessed with an adorable green jacket from Banana Republic.  I might have to splurge and buy it!

Down the street from Americana Diner towards City Streets Café is a yoga center, simply called One Yoga Center, in East Windsor. As I sit in the waiting room waiting for an appointment all is quite. But not for too long. Out of one of the rooms noise erupts. The door opens, a woman visibly shaking and crying walks out, turns down the hallway, and stops for a moment to regain her composure. It turns out the woman experienced something from a past life regression workshop that was in progress. She saw something that overwhelmed her and took her by surprise - she had a glimpse of something curious and powerful from a past life. The host of the workshop, Michele B. Engoran, is a Certified Past Life Therapist. Her designations include MA, CSW, CHT. Her workshops guide individual to discover things about themselves…more than they would ever hope to know.

I sat down and talked with Michele Engoran. Past Life Regression is to say at the very least a unique experience. In detail, Michele describes how her workshop works. She begins by leading her clients to a relaxed state through light hypnosis, a light meditative state, clearing out all the constant chatter that fills one’s head throughout the day, and directs her clients’ focus and energy deep within themselves. All that and still leaving the clients with total self-control and actually enabling them to a more heightened self-awareness and sharpened acuteness.

According to Michele, past life regression experience can be fully realized and even fulfilled within one hour. Discovering a past life typically comes only as a brief visit, a quick peek into a life once known. She explains that once someone catches a glimpse into a past life the person tends to moves on. She finds rarely is it where a client stays and roams about to find out more in that life. (But of course, if that’s what compels you, Michele is certainly the person to turn to.) Also rare was the experience by the woman who briefly stepped out of the workshop to regain her composure. Michele usually observes her clients in a calming state when they discover one of their lives. Yes…one of their lives. She explains that everyone has multitude of past lives. When Michele herself experienced past life regression for the first time she glimpsed into two past lives in one session - a life in India, another in Africa. She discovered several more lives since then.

For over six years Michele has helped clients discover their past lives. She is a Certified Past Life Therapist through the International Board of Regression Therapy. She trained under Dr. Brian Weiss, documented as the nation’s foremost expert in the field of past life therapy. She has her own practice in Plainsboro, NJ where she holds group workshops and private one-on-one consultations throughout the year. She has been invited to speak at many professional events and seminars, and even hosts workshops at her clients’ homes, for them and their guests.

Firm in her belief that life doesn’t begin at birth Michele doesn’t believe it stops at death either. She reflects on a powerful notion that “birth and death are merely parentheses of a much larger experience, leaving evidence of the larger experience within each and every one of us that can be realized through past life regression.”
