Hey ladies! I hope everyone is on track with everything they need to get done before Christmas arrives.  I feel a little bit of pressure because we are hosting family on Christmas Eve and we are going out of town the two days before that! Yikes, I have a lot to do!  We also started a new tradition a few years ago to make the food on Christmas Eve nontraditional. Instead of turkey and dressing we choose a different food theme each year.  Last year we did a Taco Bar and this year we are doing Italian food!  It has been a huge hit with family so we are going to try to keep it going.  Who else gets tired of turkey and dressing…

Hey there ladies!   I am a huge fan of companies that want to provide great quality and service to their customers.  One of these companies that I want to introduce you to today is Ilymix.  They are an accessories company out of China that I have recently had the pleasure of collaborating with.  I will never collaborate with a company or brand that I do not believe in or like their products.  I tested this one out before I would agree to do the collaboration.  I have to say I really like the products and the ordering process was quick and easy.   I can’t tell you how great it is over long term yet but so far so good.  Keep reading to find out more…

Ladies, I am so sorry this is so late!  I have been trying to get to this and things just keep coming up!  I haven’t even had the chance to really look at what I got in the box and try anything yet.  I will say that I have purchased the Makeup For Ever HD foundation from Octobers box and put the Makeup For Ever boosting serum and Becca Shimmer Primer on my Christmas list! All three of these came in the October box and I loved them and will be wearing them.  The color of the foundation that came in my box was not a match to my skin so I had to go get some more samples and when I found one that…

Hey ladies! I am writing a quick post on what I recommend to wear over a cocktail dress. I had a client that struggled to find something to keep her warm when she was going to cocktail parties.  Well, I know that most women are cold ALL THE TIME so  I decided that other woman may need a solution for this as well.  I like solving these types of problems for people, so if this is you too then please keep reading! A simple pashmina is a great solution to cover the arms but is really not a great solution for warmth.  For those that need a little more warmth  faux fur, sequins and velvet are great solutions. These materials are considered luxurious and therefore…

Hello girlies!  I promised I would do a follow up post on the cute tie neck sweater (also in pink and ivory as well) I wore for Thanksgiving so I’m bringing it to you now.  This sweater is way more versatile than I thought!  I wore it by itself on Thanksgiving because the temperature outside was somewhat warm but my favorite way to wear it is layered.  I think layering brings so much more interest to an outfit. My first layering choice for this J Crew Tie Neck Sweater is to put a collard button down underneath the sweater with some cute shoes; a fun pair of booties or sneakers would work perfectly! I like my blush pink booties with it and especially like to…

Hello Ladies!  I really wanted to do a post on my recommendations for holiday gifts. I wanted to make it fun and different and could not figure out what to do.  As I was laying in bed one night I remembered I needed to get some Chick-fil-A calendars for people for Christmas. We have done this the past few years. I try to get them early because one year they sold out.  This is something that people truly love to receive for Christmas and don’t usually purchase for themselves.  It is so simple and it’s the gift that keeps on giving!  Wow, LIGHTBULB!  That would make a great post for Christmas gift ideas! I decided to round up a list of things that I feel…
