I saw these Core Bamboo cutting boards yesterday and wanted to blog about them. Really great for a serious cook who wants a well-equipped kitchen beyond basics or has lots of extra storage space in his/her pantry or basement. I have to pick and choose what’s the most important me. Space is of the essence. …
Dream Closet
I actually overlooked posting about my dream closet. These are similar to Rachel Ashwell’s French armoire. If you are lucky enough to have high bedroom ceilings, love French or shabby chic furniture, and are able to splurge on luxury I’d definitely say run out and get this! I’ve been told by antique dealers that these …
Studded Sensation, Sara Berman
Totally irresistible accessories by Sara and Amiee Berman. You know that I’m a sucker for studded belts and boots but this love also translates to handbags and cosmetic pouches. Wow, hehe… an actual studded makeup bag and with leopard print satin lining too- how cool is that? *Photocredit: The Out Net
Magic Makeover & Gina Simone
The height of the bridal season is almost here once again and I have wanted to do this post for a while now… I was browsing one afternoon on The Knot and was excited to find a wealth of wedding resources. At the time, I wanted to splurge a little on a professional makeup artist …
Lush Review: You Snap The Whip Body Butter
I used You Snap last night for the first time and must give it a mixed review. It has the sweet fragrance of The Comforter (a mixture of cassis and bergamot oils) and also smells of sweet blackcurrants. I love the scent and my skin felt soft after-use. The big negative is that the charcoal …

You get the idea… Recently I used the following products in mine: 1/8 of Happy Easter-The Yellow One (shell): Fast fizzing action, sweet candy …
Why I Love B. Makowsky…
I’m a member of The Bag Forum and from time to time I’ve seen a thread or two raving about B. Makowsky’s handbags. I don’t know why I didn’t give this brand a second thought. I found a You Tuber’s video on her “8 Most Worn Things.” Towards the end of the video, she mentions …
Benefit Cosmetics
A great cosmetic brand from the days I started really loving makeup. I was crazy about their Spice lipstick and Mint Souffle facial cleanser (my sister loved it too). Both these items have been discontinued to my dismay. My recent visit to their site shocked me a little with a shift in their priorities. I …
Hair Barrette & Jewelry Organizers
Great organizers/holders from Household Essentials for hair barrette and jewelry storage. The pocket holders protect from dust and prevent tangle with other accessories. The HE organizers can easily be hung in your closet, on your rolling rack, or behind any door using a hook or over the door hanger. They look neat, are awesome for …
Comfort Food: A Selection of Traditional Recipes Like Your Grandma Used to Make
Thanks to my mother-in-law’s gift of a new recipe book, I am once again armed with an arsenal of great stuff to try =). So far I’ve made the Sausage & Tomato Stew and the Cheese & Spinach Lasagna. Both pretty tasty; and even better, simple to make! This is an absolutely wonderful book for …
