I can’t believe October is right around the corner. This is my absolute favorite time of the year. (Sorry if I’ve said that 100 times already. 🙂 ) I thought I’d share with you some ways that I’m getting all cozied up for the season. Cashmere and Suede. I finally splurged and treated myself to this Charter Club cashmere scarf! This one can be used as a scarf or a shawl. I’m pretty sure that I’ll be living in it this Fall and Winter. I also love a classic pump, especially if it’s suede so these BCBGeneration pumps were a must …
Greek Salad
How do you make a Greek salad? If you ask 10 Greeks how to make a Greek salad you’ll get 10 different recipes. When my husband and I visited Greece, a Greek salad was considered a plate of feta cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers and maybe olive oil. If that’s what you’re into then check out my recipe for what I call a genuine Greek salad. I think at the end of the day, if you have good feta cheese then you can’t go wrong with whatever else you add to the plate. A few weeks ago I had dinner with my parents and my …
Quebec City Vacation
Hi ya! I’m back from a mini-vacation. My husband and I went on a road trip to Quebec City. This was our third visit to the city. The first time was in 2011 and the second time was in 2013. Needless to say, we love it there which is why we keep returning. We had a blast and of course I’m sharing what we did and giving a list of restaurant recommendations. Hotel This is our third visit to Quebec City and all three times we stayed at the Four Points by Sheraton Quebec Resort. It’s located about 15 minutes …
Garlic Sweet Potato Fries and Avocado Hummus
Football is back! Add football to the long list of reasons why I love Fall. I love watching a game with my hubby on the couch while we’re in our pajamas. Wow, that sounds boring and lame. Eh, I love it. Of course this means that I’m starting to crave “football food.” You know, beer, pizza, chips and dip, and chili. Hummus is the perfect dip to have at any party (even a party of 2). It’s delicious and you can make it ahead of time. I whipped up a batch of our favorite hummus recipe, but this time I …
Stuff I’m Into: 4 Current Beauty Favorites
I recently stocked up on a couple of beauty products so I thought that this would be a great opportunity to share them with you (before the containers get dirty from my makeup covered fingers). I’ve also got a couple of new favorites. 🙂 Bare Essentials Well Rested Eye Brightener. I’ve been using this brightener for years. I use it under my eyes (obviously), but I also use it on my nose and around my lips. Take that face shadows. Yves Saint Laurent Gloss in the color called Nude Carat. I just bought this new lip gloss last week and …
