Cheers!

On this 31st day of December, 2011, it's the perfect time to reflect on the months gone by over this past year, to count our blessings and contemplate what brought us joy. As we think of all our family and friends, we can recall how both the happy - and not so happy - experiences enriched our lives.

As this fresh and bright new year arrives, may you look towards it with optimism for personal growth, excitement for new experiences and friends to be made, and perfect balance.

Cheers to a happy, healthy, prosperous, and sparkling 2012!

YouTube Grapefruit

Haha, aww. In case you haven't already seen this super-cute vid on YouTube called "Eating Grapefruit" - here it is! It makes me laugh out loud every time I watch it. Wishing you a happy day with lots of laughs!

Rockin' the Booties!

A new year most definitely calls for new shoes. And like any woman, I'm almost in as much love with shoes as I am with chocolate...waah, just can't help it. Anyway, these are my newest edition to the collection: ankle cowgirl booties! Paired with skinny jeans, a short skirt and tights, or boot cut pants, they're not only comfortable for miles of walking, but I love not having to wrangle tucking my pants into them as is the case sometimes with high boots. Dressed either up or down, the more worn in they get, the better. Added plus - I'm headed out to Colorado in a week and these will totally be suitcase/western-chic friendly! Technically the booties are from here, but (shhhh) I found them on sale at Marshalls.
