Even though I love the great American novel but I cannot resist anything to do with Pop Culture. That is why I am dying to read Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology. Leah Remini is supposed to dish on her 30 plus years in the Church of Scientology. All the stories are in there Tom, Nicole, Katie, Suri and so many more. The book is released tomorrow and I cannot wait to get my hands on it!! To order the book, click HERE.

This week’s Fashionable Friend Friday is someone I met a short time ago. She was recommended to me because I LOVE cool unique jewelry lines and Ilyse Ennis of Ilyse’s Pieces creates some of the most beautiful around. Once I saw her diamond and gemstone necklaces, bracelets and earrings, I was hooked. Her price point is right on and in most cases much lower than, what else is out there, for double the quality and design. Ilyse only sells via word of mouth, so consider this one of the BEST tips I have given you all year. All of her pieces are one of a kind, and if you can catch one of her shows (schedule below), you will not be disappointed. For more information visit Ilyse’s website HERE. She also has a facebook page HERE.
