  • Mmm, is the top note bergamot?

    This holiday, some will be receiving perfume you requested, some will be re-gifted travel size scents disguised as a creative “perfume bouquet”, and there will be a sprinkling of gifted scents that no one would wear. But it’s the thought that counts…right? If that’s true, which humbly speaking it is, make sure you really put some…

  • What’s your Possession Obsession?

    Mine is a necklace of the Virgin Mary that I wore since childhood. A year or so back, I stopped wearing it for unknown reasons, yet it hangs delicately in my jewelry organizer in plain site. What I do remember is that the necklace brought me solace when I needed it most, to a point…

  • Creamy Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons

    So one of the things I’ve always wanted to make is soup. It’s starting to get cold and nothing fills and warms you up better than a hearty veggie soup. As I’ve never made one from scratch, it seemed tomato soup would be the easiest. Also, I don’t really know the difference between a food…

  • and the Blue Apron goes to…

    Let me just begin by saying, not all food subscription boxes were built the same. [Says the woman who’s only tried two so far, but already believes she can beat Nigella Lawson in Master Chef.] So, not everyone will enjoy what I enjoy. Some call my palette bourgie and expensive. I call it refined and…

  • Delish.com Cranberry White Chocolate Rice Treats

    The other day, I accidentally came across this site called Delish.com. It’s a place filled with yummy treats and delish dishes that are easy to make. There are definitely more than a handful that I wouldn’t even give a go at, but there were many others that caught my eye. Since the recently required enforcement…

  • Is Green Chef worth all the hype?

    Since I’ve been doing these do-it-yourself stories, my apathy towards purchasing items from a store or online, has converted to wanting to at least attempt a recreation. But one thing I’ve strayed away from was cooking meals from a recipe as it just seemed too difficult, even with the subscription boxes. It wasn’t until I…

  • Naomi Campbell’s 2016 MTV VMA Lips…

    When I saw Naomi Campbell’s lips at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, I screamed, “PAT MCGRATH!” That was my brains way of exclaiming how I felt about the ruby red lip glistening as she introduced Rihanna. Each glitter speck bounced off the camera creating a mini red light show on Naomi’s lips. It was…
