After all our celebrations last week I have been in an ‘after-parties-let-down funk’ and have resorted to eating mass quantities of dark chocolate and chips and salsa as college boy returned to Boston and the new graduate headed for the hills with his gf’s family to camp. Suddenly, I was faced with my first real taste of the empty nest. I hated it. To trade one vice for the other I crossed over to the dark side of retail therapy… [Read More]
This scent is so fresh and summery it reminds me of stepping off the plane at Kona on the Big Island and having a lei of plumerias placed around my neck with a pina colada in hand. I long for this treatment again. In the meantime, here is my replacment ~It is a limited edition collection from philosophy.The kit and 3-in-1 bath gel are only selling though Sephora from what I was told. ~ Shower Gel~ Body Lotion~ Lip Shine… [Read More]

If you’ve ever rented a bicycle on the island chances are you rented one from Young’s Bicycle Shop. I love the look of natural baskets on bikes. Since last going to Nantucket a couple years ago it has been my intention to order one and since it wouldn’t look good on a mountain bike, I’d like to use it to hold incoming mail in my laundry room. Just a little piece of the island where it’s least expected. European Market… [Read More]

There are some days Stubbs & Wooten shoes can do the talking for you. “I put the grrrr in swinger, baby. Yeah.” “I would rather be here than at work.” “I’m as cute as a bug!” “Shopping?

SJN of Tales of a Golf Gal surprised me with a cute and perky new header. I feel 10 years younger. I love, love, love it! Thank you! 😀
The first Sonic in South Orange County has opened. I have never been to one and have only seen the commercials on TV. This one is on a lot the size of a postage stamp and people are so enthralled with it that they are parking two streets up in a Target lot, walking to this place and standing in line outside of the restaurant. For any SoCal gals out there in the Pasadena area there will never be another… [Read More]

All proceeds from the sale of the tote… [Read More]
