Holiday Air Travel

December 13, 2011 Lifestyle

While we are in full swing with the holiday season, it would be remiss of me not to share tips on how to save time at their airport, but make life easier for you to boot. I’m not the biggest fan of air travel. Maybe if it still retained an air of glamor and mystery [...]

Soap.com — So Fresh, So Clean … So Easy

December 12, 2011 Home

This is Stefania. She’s my sister from another Mother. We’ve never met face to face, but know deep down inside that 2012 is our year. Stefania also runs this company called Clever Girls Collective (with three amazingly insanely productive partners), has three gorgeous children and still has time to do her nails. People, this woman [...]

Cooking with Macy’s: Cat Cora’s Mashed Potatoes

December 10, 2011 Cooking

Winter time is a time of staying indoors and enjoying the warmth of hearth and home. In my house, we also like the warmth of certain foods. My boys are particularly fond of mashed potatoes. Heck, so am I! So, I’m continuing my series of recipes from the Macy’s Culinary Council Thanksgiving & Holiday Cookbook [...]

Zaarly: App Connecting Local Buyers & Sellers

December 8, 2011 Lifestyle

Driving all over the country has never been a favorite of mine unless I wind up someplace with sand, the ocean and frozen drinks. I’m keen on keeping things local. I also like to buy and sell items locally thru sites like eBay Local and Craigslist. However, I’ve had a few fishy encounters that have [...]

Holiday Travel Prep — Car Edition

December 6, 2011 Lifestyle

In just a few short weeks, people by the millions will be hitting the road for Holiday travel. According to RITA (Research and Innovative Technology Administration) and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), “most long-distance holiday travel, about 91 percent, is by personal vehicle, such as by car”. That’s a lot of rubber hitting the road. While we normally [...]

Skin Overkill

December 5, 2011 Lifestyle

I’m getting older and with aging I’m feeling the pressure, albiet self-induced, to slow down Mother Nature’s march all over my face. And I might have gotten into a serious case of overkill. My skin has been covered in patches of dry, itchy, flaky skin and felt like worn out leather. Rubbing and scratching your [...]

Fancy Weeknight Cocktail in a Flash

November 30, 2011 Foodie

I love cooking for people. It’s part of my genetics as a Southern woman. We cook and show our love with food. Our pantries are always stocked and ready for a guest at the drop of a hat. So are our bars. You never know when you are going to need to make a fancy [...]

It’s raining, it’s pouring…

November 28, 2011 Life

At least that’s what it feels like lately. Over the past 5-6 weeks, I’ve been under the weather. Heck, who am I kidding? It’s like Mother Nature turned into a train and ran me over. I started out with a staph infection under my arm, moved to the flu and just finally got over a [...]

Tech Thursday: Wunderlist

November 3, 2011 Lifestyle

Wunderlist is an app after my heart. If it could cook dinner and cuddle, my husband would be in serious trouble. List-making makes my heart go pitter-patter and I’ll be quite honest, if I don’t write down what I need to do, it doesn’t get done. Therein lies my problem. I have all of these beautiful notebooks [...]
