The Mystery and Miracle of Saint Theodora
A Throwback Thursday.... taking me back to summer.... to a place where I wish I was. I write this post for all people, of all religions, believers and non believers. My purpose is so share something of magnificence that I experienced this summer. Not to convert non believers, not to convert anyone to Orthodoxy, but to make you think about something larger than life. Just simply make you think. Nothing more. Most of you know by now that I … [Read more...]
Baked Brie en Croute
I know the holidays have passed, and we're all so focused on shedding the extra bulge that we found when we were home on all those FREEZE days eating warm cozy comfort food (you KNOW what I'm talkin about!!) But this has been one of my classic faves I had to share with you to enjoy even beyond the holidays. It's a real show stopper when entertaining and looks like it was ALL the fuss without all the work, I promise. Some of the best recipes I … [Read more...]
Travel Style and Comfort
Two things here... well, really three. Travel, style, and the jogger pants. Remember those? The jogger pants? I kinda chatted a little bit about them HERE, and although most of mine are kinda cargo style, but not all are, and not all are silk, and I'm seeing them more and more of them here lately. Are you seeing them when you're out shopping? I know I am. So I was on a little getaway this weekend with the fam and a few other peeps.... … [Read more...]

50% off Outfit
I love to shop this time of year because everything is deeply discounted. I'm a sale gal. I hate to say it, but I gravitate to the sale rack FIRST and then I make my way to the full retail price. I feel EMPOWERED when I've gotten a good deal. I mean seriously, who doesn't love a great deal, right? So now that the holidays are over and the winter season begins to wrap up, it's a good time to pick up a few things on sale. So I put a few … [Read more...]
Puffy Eyes
I've been blessed BEYOND blessed with the incredible ability to retain water. Maybe I was a camel in a previous life? But I touch salty foods (which UNfortunately is what I'm most drawn to) and POOF! I blimp up. I think there are pictures you can DEFINITELY detect my meal the night before... heck, we could even play the game NAME THAT MEAL, where you can say BAKED BRIE! MEXICAN! CHINESE! PIZZA! and we have a winner! So... now back to … [Read more...]

The Secrets of Super Dieters
The beginning of the new year I think is synonymous with diet, weight loss, new you and resolutions.

People who have lost weight and kept if off over 2 years... what are some of their secrets of success? Recently on ABC NEWS w Diane Sawyer, they did a feature on … [Read more...]
