Yellow Summer Beauty Essentials was inspired by press samples received. It may contain affiliate links. We all know that the Pantone color for 2015 was Marsala. While Marsala is a gorgeous, deep, rich red shade with brown undertones, it doesn’t exactly scream “wearable for warmer months!” While we always hear about the color of the year, did you know that Pantone actually releases colors ...
It seems that during the summer, we have more stuff to carry with us to more places. A change of clothes for after work. Sunscreen, a towel, and a book that we’re dragging to the pool. Snacks and a drink to the kids’ games. Whatever it is, we need a way to bring the stuff with us. Tote bags are super trendy this season. Why? Maybe it’s because we NEED them. These super stylish ...
Recently. Captain Morgan invited me to participate in a recipe challenge. They sent us a box of stuff, and some of their new rums. The challenge was to make a punch using one of their new flavors of rum - Grapefruit, Pineapple, or Coconut.

Sometimes, though, you just have to say eff it, and splurge. I may have had a $500 handbag in my shopping cart ...
There was a time when I loved nothing more than making everyone I knew a new scent. My mom would come home from work, and she’d have a whole new perfume wardrobe. Some she liked, some she didn’t care for so much. She’d never let me know that, of course. But all of the fragrances were made from quality ingredients. Fast forward about 15 years.
