I'm so excited to share some of my beauty must haves with you. What's even more exciting about today's post is I'm sharing products that you can find at the drugstore, my drugstore beauty favorites. One of my vices, I will admit, is spending lots of time in the beauty aisles at the store, all when I ran in to get ingredients for dinner and maybe some school supplies for the kids! Does anyone else relate? I'm just a beauty junkie, I can't … [Read more...]
Word Of The Year: Empower
What's your word of the year? Have you ever had one? I've seen several posts on Facebook of people's word of the year and I thought to myself, what's my underlying theme for myself this year? What I want to be? Do? Accomplish? Live my life by? I've never done this before so I thought I'd do it this year. And I want to encourage you to as well. Why have a word of the year? We can SPEAK things into existence, speak LIFE into what we … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: New Year’s Sparkling Cocktails
Time to pop the bubbly! Sparkles, glitter, champagne, out with the old, in with the new. Bring ON the NEW YEAR baby! What's our win that we're celebrating (because that's what #FuzzyFriday is all about, right?) Life. We're HERE. We survived another year. We DID it! We probably had some good time, seen some bad, but whatever ride we took, we did it, and we're about to catch the next ride into 2017. More to come on that on my … [Read more...]
What To Wear: New Years Eve
Most of our recent years, our New Year's Eve has been very quiet, just spending time with the family which is what's most important to me. This year, I'm so excited to be ringing in the new year not only with my family, but with my huge big fat Greek family for a blowout new years eve wedding. Dressing up is of course one of my favorite parts of this whole thing! I can't wait to show you what I'll be wearing. Follow me on Instagram to see … [Read more...]

Fuzzy Friday: Christmas Cookie Cocktail
Christmas being this weekend, add this to your dessert menu, but it's for adults only! Being made of only three ingredients, all being liquor, this potent treat is just that. It's potent. So be forewarned! But, as long as your tummy is full, you should be ok. This rich mocha latte treat has a hint of peppermint that is just so yummy! They remind me of a drink to dip Oreo cookies in, which, I have to admit, I did. And I found it hard to … [Read more...]
Eat This: Chocolate Peppermint Truffles
Those Tasty videos. Like this one for Chocolate Peppermint Truffles. Got me like HELLO! Ok now tell me how bad you want to rush to the store and buy Oreos, Hershey Kisses, and be like YES let's do this! We did. My daughter and I made them for our church bake sale this weekend and we had so much fun doing so. Not only that, we didn't know how easy they would be to make or how good they would turn out. So often we find these … [Read more...]

Fuzzy Friday: Crockpot Hot Cocoa, Peppermint Patty
First of all, on top of being a busy time of year, I'm launching my FIRST program on finishing your year strong. We can talk more about that on Monday. (pssssst! If you're already a part of The OP Lounge, you know about it!) So that has been all time consuming for me. What we really need is to pop the cork, have some champagne and celebrate this new phase in my business!!! And then I thought about what I wanted to serve up this weekend to … [Read more...]
Decor: Dining Room Sets
When it comes to decor, I prefer the unexpected. One of my biggest pet peeves is seeing things all matchy matchy. Some things that are in sets aren't bad, but if I can find a way to create a more unique look, I will. Going to the furniture store and picking up an entire set of furniture that's all from the same collection doesn't sound appealing to me at all. I much prefer mixing things up and finding those special pieces as I come across … [Read more...]
