I always feel like I have to share when I find something that I totally love. We were camping over the Halloween weekend and needed to stock up on (yeah, it’s true) more alcohol. So I ran over to our BevMo (thankfully didn’t see the Wine Guy) and ended up with a $150 receipt! Holy [...]
To continue celebrating autumn with food, I’ve got a great salmon recipe that flaunts fall for me. This is one of my favorite dinners that encourages me to put on a cozy sweater, invite friends over for dinner and have apples dipped in caramel and hot toddies for desert. This dinner is easy, yummy, and [...]
Two of my favorite things…So You Think You Can Dance and wine. Wine first. Better to watch TV while drinking (as opposed to operating heavy machinery). So I’m in love. He’s tall, blonde, and crisp and his initials are CMS. And he was only $6 at the BevMo 5 Cents sale. Is it wrong that [...]

Know what’s great? When customer service really works. I sent the following email to L’Oréal yesterday. Hi. I used to be a big fan of your Feather Lash Mascara (waterproof). Trying to find the right kind of mascara for me is like trying to find a new pair of jeans. It drives me crazy. I [...]
You should know that I love to cook. Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of gal out for my own cooking show. The thing is I like to find recipes that sound good to me (a pretty picture helps) and I follow the directions well. I think this makes my MIL and my Mom giddy [...]
