The animal print obsession, especially leopard, is in full swing this season with spots and stripes embellished on shoes, tights and bags everywhere.  It’s no surprise that whatever designer the celebrities are wearing, women flock to the store and drain the racks almost immediately.  But what about the everyday woman who can’t afford to buy trends that fly in and out, especially season-by-season?

Designer Beverly Feldman (pictured left) tells us to ‘be free to buy leopard’ without worry. Leopard has become a staple that, while it might leave for a little bit, will always be back! This … Read More »

‘Tis Season, To Consider Your Reason! | December 19, 2011

‘Tis Season, To Consider Your Reason!

In Life, ‘It’s’ all about

Perspective, Perspective, Perspective!

So, what’s yours?

Do you know for sure?

Let’s find out shall we?

I’m going to pose a series of questions, the answers to which many people don’t even want to consider, let alone face. These are questions, whether you have thought about them consciously or at a more sub-cortical or unconscious level, whose responses define you, direct you, even control your thoughts, feelings and actions. So think carefully before you read on and do the required work. Because if you do, well, one does not come away from a self awareness … Read More »

Why are changing rooms such a terrible experience? | December 16, 2011

I HATE CHANGING ROOMS! I feel better for saying that aloud. I break out in a cold sweat at even the thought of trying things on in a shop changing room. I frankly would prefer to take things home and then bring them back again, rather than going through the trauma that is a shop changing room. Is this irrational? I don’t think so. Does it create extra time consuming, travel and expense when you have to return the unwanted/unsuitable item? Possibly, but a return trip is a shopping trip non the less, and you might find something else to … Read More »

Fall Meals: Smoked Salmon Crostini | December 14, 2011

Smoked Salmon Crostini with Lemon Dill Aioli

By: Christianne Klein, author of Christianne’s Herbal Kitchen: Fresh Herb Recipes for Body and Soul

This is an awesome appetizer for parties. The lemon dill aioli melts right into the toasted bread and gives you a savory flavor. I usually tone down the garlic and kick up the volume on the lemon, but the choice is yours. Adjust it to your taste and make it your own creation!

Ingredients:

Lemon Dill Aioli

1/2 garlic clove, mashed

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons fresh dill, minced

Sea or Himalayan salt to taste

Freshly cracked … Read More »
