What Are You Doing This Black Friday

As much as I love shopping and browsing, I am not really a Black Friday shopper.  I am going to spend the day with my family, reading, catching up on my DVR, and meeting my sweet friend Kris for coffee later this afternoon.  When I have lazy days with time to surf the web, one of my favorite channels is You Tube.  There are so many instructional videos from cooking, to organizing to decorating, to fashion and so much more.  I absolutely love it.  Here are some of my favorites right now and I thought if you too had some time away from shopping you might enjoy them!!!  Bon Weekend!!!

OK..hands down this is my favorite..I have not tried it yet but the next time I need to chop an onion this is how I am doing it!!!!
I love this…and these tips really work!!!
I immediately through of my girls when I saw this video, and when my nephews were visiting we all made the cup light.  It came out great and we had so much fun together!!!
I cannot get enough of organizing articles/videos…this one has some great ideas!!!
 And of course, who cannot resist Gwyneth!!!!!  What a treat to see her bathroom and her step by step beauty routine!!!
 

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving To All You Fashionistas!

Book Club Monday

This week’s book club Monday choice, The Heartfix, was a recommendation from Plum Sykes, uber Vogue fashionista and sister of my sweet friend Lucy Sykes.  She listed it as a must read so of course my interest was peaked!!  The author, Stella Grey writes a very popular column in the British newspaper, The Guardian, called Mid-life, Ex-Wife.  Here is the storyline of The Heartfix:


Mind-boggling, heart-rending and darkly comic, this is the full story for the first time, from the writer of the Guardian column Midlife Exwife….

When her husband fell in love with someone else, Stella Grey thought she’d be unhappy for the rest of her life. But then she realised that she needed to take her future in her own hands. She needed to meet someone wonderful, and find a heartfix for heartbreak.

So, she joined online dating sites and embarked on a mission. What followed were 693 days of encounters, on screen and in person: dates in cafs and over glasses of astringent red wine, short term relationships and awkward sex, but mostly there were phone calls and emails (many, many emails). Her journey was never dull, featuring marriage proposals, invitations to Tangier, badly timed food poisoning and much younger men but was it ultimately successful?




Totally compulsive, painfully true and darkly comic, this is an unputdownable account of one woman’s search for love online.  Summary AMAZON.COM





The Heartfix is only available in the UK which makes it such a fun,


 unique gift for your girlfriends and yourself, as well.  You can 

order it on amazon HERE.   Just click, the line: NEW FROM……

(under the “paperback” box).
