Here are a few dress finds for your next holiday gathering. ‘Tis the season to sparkle–whether it be all over sequins, a hint of fragile black lace or the amazing bodycon LBD that creates head-turning whip lash from all eyes in the room! Make an entrance ladies! Doing research for this blog was like asking a chocolate addict to do “taste testing research” at the Godiva lab! These are just different finds that I would personally wear and find fabulous….
Cool, Different Gifts to Give and Get
Everyone loves a predictable, scented candle or pair of gloves for the holidays, but my favorite part of gift giving is finding something that is truly unique for the unique personality of whoever I’m gifting. Now, sometimes I’m way off base and I’m sure they’ve raised an eyebrow or even worse…REGIFTED (gasp) my heartfelt gift, but regardless, I have fun hunting for the perfect present. This year is no different and I thought I would share a couple sites and…
Coffee Table Book Club
So, recently I have really gotten into coffee table books.

She…
Kombucha: Fun Facts on the Fizz and Floaties
I recently posted a Facebook status expressing my joy that Whole Foods market was carrying Kombucha again. I heard that due to the tiny, tiny, alcohol content they suspended the sale for a while. Does this mean that I may have developed a bit of an addiction to the fizzy tea and I shed a little tear when it left the shelves? Maybe! Anyway, I received a lot of questions about the drink on Facebook and so I thought I…
