Move Over Rachael Ray, Dr. Cochran’s Baking Pies! | September 30, 2010

And if you’re wondering what this has to do with mental health? Just taste the pie…

It’s the end of the strawberry season and it’s time to make our ‘last gasp’ pies. So I’m going to share with you my special secret recipe for Strawberry Glace Pie. Now, when I make this I always get rave reviews from my friends and family so take heed, it’s a winner.

Golf with Style | September 30, 2010

I have always been interested in the game of golf. Not per say to watch it, but more for the style.  A pair of crisp shorts, pastel collared polos and a white glove, perfection!  I know that may sound typical coming from me, but I do also enjoy outdoor activities and mingling with the elite. So golf would seem like the ideal connection between style, cardio and socializing.

When the site Golf4her.com fell into my lap, I took it as a major sign, I mean they have pink gloves and crystallized ball markers. Although the season may be coming to an … Read More »

Death By Accessories | September 29, 2010

Often times a look becomes cluttered or gaudy when we over accessorize from head to toe. Too many accessories or too many bold accessories can really kill your look. Being conscious of how you style an outfit is just as important as the outfit itself. Here are some tips that can help bring your look together without going overboard.

Select jewelry that complements your outfit. Play with color in your jewelry, but keep the look simple. Don’t feel you must wear a matching necklace, earring and bracelet set. Opt more for single pieces that reflect your personal style. Most jewelry designers … Read More »

More Than a Rubber Ball | September 28, 2010

T spheres, pretty pink rubber balls infused with aromatherapy to make you feel so good. A massage is one of the most luxurious treats one can indulge in, although many of us don’t always have enough time for. These sweet little travel companions are the remedy to healthy self soothing massage on the go.

They are a wonderful natural way to relieve pain and stress from long work hours to red-eye flights. What’s delightful is the aromatherapy released from the t-spheres as soon as the bag opens. I laid-back almost instantly and took a deep breath. These little … Read More »

The Lush by CROW Watches Hits College Campuses | September 28, 2010

Bold and trendy the Lush is the quintessential watch to be wearing this season. Its large full numeral face makes it easy to read, and its interchangeable straps give it a versatile look that is sure to please everyone. To me a watch is an essential accessory; it is both fashionable and practical, and most importantly affordable. As a college student I have little change to spare when it comes to my wardrobe, but luckily for me CROW Watches focuses on making their fun and fashionable timepieces affordable.

The best part about this watch is its practicality; it is lightweight, comfortable, … Read More »

Homework…Is it Stressful in Your House? | September 28, 2010

In our house we start our homework at 4:00 p.m., no not at 4:15 p.m., 4:00 rain or shine! Generally speaking I have our home on a routine, schedule if you must…gasp…I know you are thinking…no not, Michelle! I like the boys to be able to have their snack first, play or watch TV. I have friends who insist that the children do their homework before they do anything else. I feel you need a break, to chill and relax before you jump back into your school work again.

Homework can be a huge battle for families and it is extremely … Read More »

Candy Bar Pie | September 27, 2010

What do you do when you’re asked to bring “something sweet” to a dinner party? Well, if you’re me, you try and narrow it down. I have so many recipes that I’ve already tried and so many I still hope to try some day. The next response is “surprise us”. Wow. Okay.

So it must be decadent because I’m bringing it but what should it be?

I have this big manilla folder that holds recipes I’ve ripped out of various magazines and newspapers over the years. Some are printed emails, too. I started going through the folder, hoping to be inspired by … Read More »

Chic Over-The-Knee Boots Are A Statement This Season | September 25, 2010

I am LOVING the look of the over-the-knee boot this fall!  You probably saw how I wore it for a recent TV shoot I was working on.  The Winds Came Sweeping Down the Plains.  I own a pair from the LOFT in both black and brown.  There are so many ways to wear these and so simple to add the WOW factor to your outfit. Personally I’m not a big fan of heels, so I wanted to show you some cute flat sole boots in this style.

Simple black suede boots. It doesn’t get much easier than this!
