I think like most people, the majority of us have become numb, mostly expecting the worst of things to happen instead of anything positive or good. This is perhaps because of all the news available to us, in full detail. But once in a while, something amazing happens and it should be recognized and embraced, especially during the holidays. I actually cried this morning watching this video and knew I had to share it with everyone.

Every year I pick a store and go crazy shopping for friends and secret santa and more. So, this year, it’s Kate Spade, my all time favorite boutique with colors and dots. Here are some of the items I included on my shopping list.
I am happy to announce, my first novel, Piazza Navona (the correct version) is finally available in e-book. I had trouble with the 1st edition, being that is was the incorrect one uploaded through the distribution company. But now, edition 2 is the final copy and available right now. The book is an ideal gift for any woman over 30, you are considering buying an e-book for or the first download for their first e-book reading gadget you plan to gift. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Click on the photo to be redirected.
Since Saturday I’ve been in a funk and cannot seem to get it together, see here. So, I figured, if I could just focus on the happier moments in life, perhaps, just perhaps, I could snap out of it.
Unique holiday gift ideas for loved ones couldn’t be more perfect, than knowing they are made in the U.S. Click here for details:
Fillmore Street, one of my favorite places to hang out, anytime of the year, for dinner, drinks, shopping or meeting up for coffee. The small street adorned with boutiques and cafes is the quickest and closest way to escape the mundane daily life and pretend you are simply somewhere else. In this case the holiday season 🙂
Based on the number of parties you may attend this holiday season, from your work’s or you partner’s, family get together and friend’s, special events or just at home, I have picked the perfect party or cocktail dress to duplicate from here 🙂
I’m not a fan of Black Friday and do everything in my power to stay away from the malls for the sake of my safety and those who I love around me. I’m not sure when it all went bad and turned dangerous, but it has and I am going to do everything in my power each year to avoid it. Deeming the entire exercise unnecessary. What I do however find refreshing, is the small business shopping day, set the day after Black friday for all the mom and pop stores, in smaller neighborhoods throughout America, who in my opinion truly deserve more than just a day of shopping to be rewarded. Although I am out-of-town, visiting family, I plan to locate a neighborhood where I am to support a few small businesses and I hope that you do the same. Happy Holidays!!!
