One of the things I look for when I shop are distinctive details that make a basic piece not so basic. Such is the case when I came across these fabulous pieces. I snatched up the last one of this sweater by Christopher Fischer at Liberte' in Oklahoma City. We're so used to these large oversized and flowy tops with leggings that the slim line of this cashmere piece appealed to me. But what I loved more was the detail of the sheer shoulders. … [Read more...]
In the Kitchen: Protein Filler Diet Soup
I'm kicking of the week with a recipe I made up, because as you've heard me talk before about how my mom kinda cooks... we just throw things together and it happens. And of course she taught me. So I took my background of being a Weight Watchers leader (which this time of year, I'm sure SO many are enrolling in every weight loss plan out there!), combined with flavors I love, combined with just what I know about food to come up with this … [Read more...]
5 Things to Help You Keep Your Resolutions
It's been a few weeks since I've been here sharing all kinds of things, but as we all know, the holidays just passed us by, and as many do this with their "jobs", I chose to take a mini break from this... even though I don't consider it a job at all! It's a pleasure doing what I do here. But I had to just unplug a bit, from this, from social media some, and just take a break. So here we are back together again, and it's a new year. And what … [Read more...]
Holidays On Purpose

Fuzzy Friday: Holiday Tipsy Spritzer
Being that this is the LAST Friday before Christmas, so I thought I'd share something refreshing that isn't just a cold weather cocktail, but it's a festive fresh drink for a holiday lunch or brunch. Before the internet, Southern Living was one of my magazines I subscribed to to get a bit of this and that for the home and food, and I loved them so much that I collected their cookbooks. I really should show you my collection sometime! Anyways, I … [Read more...]
Light White Chicken Chili
Cold days are here and there isn't anything better than coming home to a pot full of comfort food, something filling and warm, and something healthy. I'm a huge chili lover. So tonight I decided to make a light chicken chili for the gang. It was pretty easy, and I made if from scratch. INGREDIENTS 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts 4 cups chicken stock 1 clove garlic, minced 1 medium onion, diced 1 (15-ounce) … [Read more...]
Adorn Container Gardens
I believe you only have one opportunity to make a first impression. I think that's why I always try (I didn't say I'm always the best at it!) to look my best because I never know who I might meet for the first time. The same goes with our home or business. Don't we want our places to seem beautiful and inviting when someone approaches? Well thank GOODNESS for my sweet friend Elizabeth. She turned one of her passions into a … [Read more...]
Golden Gift Ideas
You guys know I'm a HUGE Target lover. For one, yesterday's post sums me up to a TEE. If you didn't see it, check it out HERE. And we're coming down to the wire with Christmas less than 2 weeks away. For my friends both near AND far, I've rounded up a few things that could go for almost anyone... The special thing about that is these are all pretty fabulous, versatile gifts, some for a hostess, some for your wife, your sister, and I bet … [Read more...]
Target Truth
I came across this video the other day on my Facebook as I was scrolling on my phone, but passed it by, as I do so many. Less than a few hours later one of my best friends sent it to me in a text, along with some fun emoji smiles and winky eyes. I opened it and have been laughing hysterically ever since. If you follow me on Facebook, you might have seen it on my wall, so forgive the double share here. It was too good NOT to share again. In … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Merry Christmint
Ok so here's the dealio. I think everyone is "BUSY" this time of year. Am I right? We have parties to go to, gifts to buy, cards that need to be addressed and mailed, baking, cooking, not to mention whatever else you have going on in your life. I pulled some thoughts for some festive drinks, part because I might serve this up to some friends coming over during the holidays, and part because I'm in MUCH need of a break and something with … [Read more...]
