Today’s Fashionable Friend Friday is local Rye mom Susanne Carroll. Susanne comes to the rescue to some many of us who stare daily into our closets choc full of clothes and cannot find anything to wear!!! She helps to tackle the job of cleaning out your closet, which she swears is the first step in making getting dressed easy. At your first meeting with Susanne, you will talk about your lifestyle, different wardrobe needs, style and color preference. Then she goes to work!! She really aims to rejuvenate her client’s current wardrobe by putting outfits together with what she already owns. She suggests pieces to add and most often, Susanne explains, that it is only a few pieces that “can open up a whole new wardrobe”. She also will shop with you in store and online! She started working with another local mom, Susie Johnson and this dynamic duo are conquering closets all over Westchester County with their incredible fashion sense.
Lastly, you might just want to know what happens to all these discarded clothes and treasures!! Well, stay tuned…Susanne and Susie are going to have curated online consignment sales and seasonal pop-ups. I CANNOT wait!!! To contact Susanne to set up your own closet refresh, click HERE.
OK>>>>>This is probably the BEST recipe I will share with you all summer. I read about how amazing and calorie friendly this dessert is. It is only 1 Weight Watchers point per serving so if you don’t know what that means…it is basically hitting the jackpot on guilt free desserts!!!!!!! I made this for my son and my family, that are visiting….Needless to say, we are all addicted and honestly, we have gone through container after container of cool whip…..YOU HAVE TO TRY IT (Oh and you can thank me later!!!!)
- 3 Tablespoons Peanut Butter
- 1 tub Cool Whip Fat-Free
- Hershey’s Sugar-Free Chocolate Syrup
- Mix the Cool Whip and Peanut Butter together
- Spoon into 12 lined cupcake tins
- Drizzle with chocolate syrup and freeze
wardrobe this summer it is a pair of statement earrings.
I have shared my favorite picks below. I have been
drooling over those incredible gold square earrings for
months now. But I think I can find an outfit for each
pair. Any of these styles would look incredible with
a white dress or white jeans and festive summer
top!! Throw on a pair and you are all set for all your
summer outings.
I recently tried Westchester Milk at home fresh food delivery. All the products available are all natural with no pesticides, artificial preservatives, additives or growth hormones. They source everything from local family owned dairies and farms delivered right to your door step every week. I have already tried some of the amazing products and I am hooked. From milk to local grass fed ground beef to quality eggs, and fresh squeezed juices, Westchester Milk has it all and more. To place your own order or for more information, click HERE.
OK readers, I am finally sharing with you my pick for the best read of the summer. And, it is Fitness Junkie: ANovel by my friends the AWESOME Lucy Sykes and Jo Piazza. I loved their first book, The Knockoff and was waiting with bated breath for this new one. I just received an advanced copy. Thank you so much Doubleday Books!!!!!! And I read it from cover to cover almost immediately!!! Here is the story (you are going to LOVE it)…
I had an awesome Fashionable Friend Friday post in the works for you but I needed a little bit more time to perfect it, so I am doing a post on something that has been a HUGE “thing” around here. My girls have been BEGGING me for a dry erase/whiteboard wall. They use whiteboards in school and really wanted one at home to help them with their homework and to study. Of course, I said no about a million times. First of all, I could not imagine anything worse in the middle of our living quarters. It would just look ugly and always be an eyesore, especially with all the writing and erasers and everything else that comes along with it. However, at Christmastime I finally broke down and designated a back hallway (completely out of site from our family, visitors, actually pretty much out of site for anyone) for the whiteboard wall. I purchased removable whiteboard wall stickers (HERE) which are easy to apply and remove, in case I really regretted my decision. I got a nice container to hold all the markers and erasers and a Chinese stool for my girls to sit on or climb up on to reach the top. Well, that white board wall is such a hit. They use it for every test. They write out their notes, organize information, work out tons and tons of math problems and the list goes on and on. As much as I hate to admit, it was a huge win win and my girls tell me it helps them sooo much and takes a lot of the stress out of preparing for tests.
