March 15, 2015 5 Comments

I know that there is a whole lot of the country that is still caught in winter’s icy grip, but here in Southern California, we had temperatures in the 90’s this weekend.

February 26, 2015 1 Comment

Even though the trend might be winding down a smidge, I do still love a nice starburst mirror.  At the recent CHA trade show, I was fortunate enough to check out some fun new products and get the chance to play around with some of them.  FloraCraft was kind enough to send me some supplies […]

Faking the look of trendy pottery pieces. An easy DIY.

February 24, 2015 9 Comments

I might very well be the only person on the planet who has not read the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy and has no plans whatsoever to see the movie.  (Actually, that’s not true.  My husband has no plans to do those things either, so there are at least two of us.) ew. Opening on Valentine’s […]

Chocolate Almond Banana Smoothie Recipe

January 28, 2015 5 Comments

I have not been feeling myself lately.  I definitely haven’t been looking like myself lately.  I had major back problems in 2014 and I only recently found a doctor who could fix the problem.  After a pain induced sedentary lifestyle and being out of my exercise routine, I’m now ready to drop the thirty (30!)
