I love Banana Republic!! I love the jewelry and clothes. Everything is just so beautiful and chic. I love to shop the sales rack at our local store. I recently found this beautiful bracelet online during Black Friday!
It is called the Ivy League Line Bracelet and it is on sale now. Below are some of my photos. Check out their website for more beautiful items for low prices! Enjoy!
I didn’t really understand this concept until I saw a how-to -video from Ballard Designs. Once I saw it I loved the way it looked. It also got me thinking about my fitted sheets. Sometimes those are so hard to get on the bed and this would be a nice change every other week. So I think I am going to give the hospital corners a try. Below is the how-to-video from Ballard Designs. Enjoy!
I always look forward to author Jennifer L. Scott’s Youtube videos on Sundays. A few weeks ago she gave a wonderful tip on how to enjoy your meals alone. Once I watched the video I have to admit I became much more aware of how I dine alone. I am now on a mission to implement these tips on my lunch break. Watch and enjoy!!!
I can’t believe Christmas is just in a few short weeks! It came too fast but I am ready. My local grocery store had small poinsettias on sale really cheap. So I purchased a few and placed them all over the house. It makes it look so festive and I like the idea of having real plants around our home. Below are some photos of my home and also watch the video from Mrs. Nikki. I love her ideas about simple tips to make your home festive. Enjoy!!!
I love to hear and say personal affirmations to myself in the mornings. While reading At Home with Madame Chic author Jennifer L. Scott mentions a few powerful affirmations that one could say to themselves to improve their quality of life.
I am a firm believer in one using their best and now I am learning that one should believe their best and say the best about themselves. So below are the affirmations that Jennifer mentioned in her book. I would encourage you to add these to your daily thinking. Enjoy!!!
1. I am vibrant, healthy and full of energy.
2. My beauty is radiant.
3. I am a calm and patient parent.
4. Today I will relish the small things.
5. Today I will make my home beautiful.
6. I choose to eat healthy foods today.
7. My home is a sanctuary.
8. I can remain effortlessly in the present moment.
9. My creativity is inspiring.
10. I can get through any situation with grace. ( My absolute favorite!)
11. No matter what happens today, I will cultivate inner peace.

Well the holidays are upon us and I always like to have a few statement necklaces to wear. Below are some of my recent finds for this season….
I first heard of Timothy Corrigan on the Quintessence blog earlier this year. Stacy Bewkes and Susanna Salk were able to video a home tour with Timothy in his chateau. It is absolutely stunning!!! Timothy also wrote a book about his renovation and decor process for this chateau. An Invitation to Chateau du Grand-Luce: Decorating a Great French County House is a wonderful story of the restoration of this home. Amazon will allow you to view the “inside” of this glorious book. Below is the home tour with Susanna Salk, as always enjoy!
