She said: "I feel like when you take the effort to do that on your outside it makes you feel better on the inside. "And like when you show up to a situation, no matter what it is, when you are put together, people notice that. "And I think it just almost commands respect, you know, where, when you have taken the time to put together yourself." 6 6 6

She is just lovely!!! #ilovewhatido #luckygirl,' she captioned the picture. She looked upbeat in the photo, wearing a floral top, sunglasses, and her blonde hair.

'SUUUUUUPER yummy with a great group of people.' Burrell's upbeat personality, beyond her cooking shows and public life, was well-known.

A Star-Studded NYC Campaign Wants to Make Littering Uncool
A new ad campaign featuring local celebrities like Brooklyn's Green Lady is helping bolster New York City's 'war on trash' by sending the message that littering is uncool. Through colorful ads on buses, garbage trucks and in movie theaters, the seven-figure 'Don't Do New York City Dirty' campaign, from philanthropists behind the Sanitation Foundation, targets young people — particularly men aged 18-24 who are the most likely to litter, according to the foundation's research. NYC Mayor Eric Adams has made cleaning up the city one of his top priorities, promising a 'trash revolution' through initiatives like rolling out new garbage bins and expanding curbside compost. The Sanitation Foundation supplements those efforts with community cleanups and education programs. Its latest campaign hopes to capitalize on New Yorkers' pride for their city and push them to keep the streets free of litter, Magdalena Del Valle reports.
