Pets need holiday love too! I think this self-cleaning grooming brush for cats and dogs is fantastic!

This is an all new self-cleaning, pain-free way to groom your pet that includes soft tips that massage your pet while grooming them. Best part is that this one touch brush cleans itself. Also, includes Bonus pet trimmer attachment.

Here is a post from Sophia's for a creative way to make your own wrapping paper. Just fabulous!!

For a fun twist to your stockings, try studs! I found this great post on Inked & Sewn and I can't wait to try on my own stockings. My hubby dislikes glitter but I like a little bling so this will be a great compromise.

Giveaway and Review - Pretty Woman Perfume

I'm so excited to share with you my reveiw for Pretty Woman Perfume and even more delighted that PWP will be sponsoring a giveaway so that you can find out for yourself why I'm head over heels!

Barbara Orbison (widow of Roy) has created the most elegant signature fragrance, which is now available in exclusive boutiques and gift stores across the country and abroad.

Like the notes of a song, the notes of Pretty Woman Per- fume open to reveal a com- plex melody of florals, spices and woods. Its crisp, luminous bergamot top note evolves to reveal a full, vivacious middle note accord of stargazer lily, red rose and carnation. The fragrance’s base note accord of fresh amber, patchouli, vanilla, atlas cedar and sacred incense combine with a lingering ever- lasting warmth and harmony.

Clothing Swap Party

Thanks to Duncan Hines for sponsoring my writing. There's no limit to the baking possibilities, so grab your favorite Duncan Hines mix and Comstock or Wilderness fruit fillings and Bake On! www.duncanhines.com.



I love a good Girls Night In with my gal pals. So when I was selected to write a post on how to host a Girls Night In party for Duncan Hines I was so excited!

This holiday season I've decided to host a Clothing Swap Party! Not only do you get the opportunity to clean out your closet but you can feel good about recycling and have fun while doing so.

Here are some thoughts and ideas for hosting a Clothing Swap Party:

If you think size may be an issue, you can encourage your guests to bring accessories as well. A lot of jewelry, hats and purses are one-size-fits-all.

A potluck is also a great idea for saving money and sharing recipes. Bonding over clothes and food during the holidays is a sure way to bring you and your lady friends closer :)

Make sure to offer a private area where your guests can try on items. A full-length mirror is also helpful.

Do ask people to bring items in good condition. I will be giving my guests the option to either swap or donate items. Amvet is wonderful and will come by your house to pick up any unwanted items. Find your nearest Amvet location here.

A fun way to end the party would to put on all the "unwanted" clothing items and have a fashion show. I did this once at a party and it was really fun!

Another, suggestion is to make your party a clothing swap/trunk show. This is a great idea if you have or know someone who is in the direct home sales business. Ladies love shopping, so how convenient would it be to clean out your closet AND replace them with some great new finds.

In this economy I think my party will be a hit. This is a fun and easy way to bond and feel good about giving, recycling, and supporting women entrepreneurs (if you decide to go swap/trunk show route). If you have any thoughts or suggestions on clothing swap parties I would love to hear them!

Remember to check out Duncan Hines' website www.duncanhines.com to find some great recipes for your holiday get-together! I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective.

Yummy! I love Nature's Own bread! Healthy and priced just right. Have you tried yet? My fav. is 40 calorie 9 grain :)




Travel in Style!

We love to travel with our dog so when I found Bergan's travel bowl I was so excited! No more messy plastic bags, zippered bags, or worst yet trying to pack Riley's dog food bag in his little travel bag... The collapsible design saves space in your car or home and can hold 14 cups of food or water…great for a day-trip with your dog or even an overnighter. Dual-layer insulation makes sure the contents stay fresh. Holds approximately 6 cups of food. I am in love! You can purchase the Bergan travel bowl here.
