Next time life's got you down, you're feeling tired and bogged down and ready to throw in the towel, remember these three "facts" about chocolate: ...
Dawn soap – Beyond getting wildlife rescues and dishes squeaky clean, dawn soap is excellent at getting makeup, pen marks, oil splatters, and most stubborn stains out of clothing! Fantastic, especially on delicate materials such as silk. Dab a little dawn over your stubborn spot, with a little bit of cold water, grab an old toothbrush and get brushing! Club soda and/or salt – Probably wouldn’t make the best cocktail mix, well, unless you add...
SHOES: the more uncomfortable, the happier the outfit; the more comfortable, the happier the feet! Happy outfit and feet, thanks to my so fashionable patent leather dark red Sofft pumps :) Whoever said "you can't have your cake and eat it too" knew nothing about ingenuity! ...
Toasted Coconut Crusted Donut and Coffee Whatever happened to the toasted coconut donut? Discontinued a while back by Double D, I've missed its scrumptious goodness! Missing it no more, at least not today. Sweet treat from a very thoughtful officemate. Thank you Sandy T. via Four Season Donut (Pennsville, NJ) #SimplePleasures...Yummy! ...
Spanish Rock Octopus Foodie fit, La Fia in Wilmington, DE is a farm to table bakery and bistro and chef Bryan Sikora's latest venture. If the chef sounds familiar, he should. He's the mastermind behind Django (Queens Village) and Talula's Table (Kennett Square). Django was an award-winning restaurant that ruled the Philadelphia Foodie scene during the Sikora years, also had one of my favorite dishes of all time. Talula's Table's accolades included being regarded as "The...
AM - Arctic Monkeys Showcasing a lighter softer side of the English band, AM is the fifth studio album by the Arctic Monkeys. Addictive, melodic, and more impressive with every listen, AM is a sleek and triumphant achievement. I am always sad when "Knee Socks" plays and even sadder when "I Wanna Be Yours" ends, because both are the last two songs on the album. Signaling the end of my musical nirvana. Turn Blue - The...
Happy Independence Day!!! So no Billy Idol's Rebel Yell during yesterday's commute. Cliché 4th of July fashion wins!!! Red shorts - Anthropologie; navy and white striped cami- J. Crew Factory & navy blue summer sweater and bracelet - J. Crew, black dress sandals - DSW Shoes ...
I’m still undecided on whether or not to be cliché tomorrow- red shorts, striped navy and white cami, and navy blue summer sweater with subdued sparkly accent buttons. If by chance Billy Idol’s Rebel Yell comes on during my commute home, I might wear this instead.

Fun and flattering, with a tad bit of flirty, I'm wearing one of my favorite Anthropologie dresses. Anthro's Midday dress (sorry, no longer available except via eBay) is a causal effortless glamorous throwback piece. The diagonal juxtaposition of its trendy stripes are flattering on most body types. Accented with a black flower brooch, also from Anthropologie (also no longer available) and a black med sized belt, this dress can be dressed up with pumps and jewelry or dressed down. DSW Thong...
Grace Bay Beach - Turks and Caicos Got a case of "gotta getaway?" Thinking beach, calm water, tranquility, quiet, and relaxing...well, I recommend a vacation escape to Turk and Caicos. Warm sun, light on tourists (especially during low season), and with one of the world's best beach - Grace Bay. You can't go wrong with this Caribbean gem. Pier at Grace Bay (October 2013) ...

Foodie fit and always top notch, Fond restaurant in Philadelphia never fails to deliver. Recently enjoyed a Tuesday night anniversary dinner at the cozy contemporary American restaurant. Flavorful, fresh, and at times ogasmic, chefs Lee Styer and Jessie Prawlucki passion for food is evident in every bite. Service at Fond is very much on par with the delicious food. Dining room manager Tory Keomanivong and the wait staff are knowledgable, dedicated, and simply wonderful. Gourmet food...
Top: J. Crew Cardigan: J.Crew Factory Skinny Jeans: T.J. Maxx Belt: Marshalls (from a Calvin Klein dress) Sandals: DSW Shoes This Friday's causal style comes by way of J Crew, TJ Maxx, and DSW. Usually during this time of the year, a pair of jeans wouldn't make the casual friday cut. The weather forecast had the high at 80 degrees. Ended up being around 84 degrees and being a bit humid. Anyways, here I am looking fab...
