Mad Men, a show for everyone
Mad Men shows us why we're all human. Why we sometimes like debauchery,
sex, and risk rather than restraint, caution, and better judgement. Most
importantly it does this with style. Class just oozes out from the
show's script, personalities, and directing. There is something here for
everyone; for the girls it shows how your predecessors struggled with
the prejudice against women everywhere they turned in the 1960's. For
the men this show is a tutorial on how to dress, carry yourself around
women, and how to be successful. The sixth season is about to start so
if you haven't seen the first five catch up, and watch
a four time consecutive winner for Best Series take you through 1960's
New York. Click on the image on right to buy season 1. +David Torres for TODOSLifestyle

Nicholas Sparks shows in his New York Times Bestseller how we can hold on to the image of our dearest ones for the hardest of times and how that image slowly distorts, and reshapes as time and people pass by. The novel picks up quickly and gets rather difficult to place it down. A read for everyone this new year. Check out the link below (to buy at Barnes & Noble).
Try an old flavor from the Iberian PeninsulaSpanish Chorizo is seasoned with pimenton (paprika) and salt. It is comprised of premium cuts of pork and dry cured for months. You can serve it up as an appetizer or feature it in your tapas dishes. Now getting Chorizo imported from Spain can be expensive, it is definitely worth it. If it runs too expensive for your budget, you can buy this version seen below (made in the USA by Daniele, sold at Cost Plus World Market). It is Spanish style Chorizo, one that you will be glad to taste and feature when you have people over or a simple snack.
If it looks good, it'll taste betterThis clear glass carafe by Ikea is rather beautiful. Start serving your water or iced coffee in one of these like in a European cafe. It's a good way to drink more water and do it in style. Surprisingly the water tastes amazingly refreshing when you pour it out one of these. Add a lemon slice or even blueberries for an extra touch of aesthetics and don't forget the ice. (Available at IKEA.com, click below).
