While some fashion trends are fun and fleeting, others stand the test of time. This fall, I’ll be reaching for the usual suspects – plaid, great sweaters and 1,000 boots. But, there’s a new “trend” I’ll like long after the season is over. Structured and small, ladylike croc embossed handbags are everywhere. Available at a…
Last year, I went to Santa Fe on a girls trip with a big group of friends. We packed a lot into 4 days – spa time, art galleries, great food and rooftop bars. Today, I’m sharing those favorites with you, because I’m a giver. Sometimes. Before leaving, I researched spots I’d like to check…
For several years, I’ve been a big fan of Kate Somerville’s UncompliKated SPF 50 Soft Focus Makeup Setting Spray. A sunscreen and make-up setting spray in one, it is a staple product of mine for a lot of reasons. The first is probably the biggest. It takes no time to put on. You simply spray the…
Hello, hello. Although summer feels over, it’s not. And, I have proof in the form of regular sweat whenever I step outside. So, although Ellie is back in school, my garden is in full production mode – which thankfully means regular batches of beautifully ripe Roma tomatoes. I’ve been using my stash to whip up…
Feminine and very ladylike, these egg salad toasts would be perfect for Mother’s Day or a spring Brunch. We had ours this year at Easter. I had originally made half the amount shown here, but quickly doubled it on the spot, because we ate all of them and everyone (except for Ellie) wanted more. Although…
That title is very bossy, but truthfully, so am I. Over the last several months, I’ve read a lot of exceptional books and couldn’t be more excited to share them with you. So, let’s get right to it, OK? Life After Live – This book is clever and vastly interesting. It’s one you’ll think about…
I love a good Sephora haul as much (probably more) than the next person. But, there is nothing more gratifying than finding those wonderful drugstore beauty products that don’t break the bank. Today, I’m sharing one new favorite and another I’ve been swearing by for years. Ponds Cold Cream Cleanser: My grandmother used to use…
Hello, hello. For years, I have searched for the perfect t-shirts and despite my best efforts, have failed. I’ve tried inexpensive and expensive versions from brands that came recommended, but they all had issues. Some were see-through, while others could double as a mini-dress. Most developed a lacy network of holes in the spot where…
So, this was not my “first-time” to Disney. However, I had only gone just once before in the 90’s. A lot has changed since then. We knew we wanted to surprise Ellie, but that was about it folks. We were complete novices. And, quite frankly, probably still are. We left on the Friday of President’s…
