Thankful Day & A Winner!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American friends! I'm heading out to Long Island today to spend the day with my family. I've tried my best to detox from this past weekend's festivities and I think I'm ready to take on my 2nd Thanksgiving in less than 5 days. Wish me luck :)

I'm such a fortunate girl and I have so much to truly be grateful for including:

• J, my eternal love and soulmate
• My family, for always being there
• My friends, for knowing me better than I know myself
• My health and the health of my loved ones. Unfortunately there is someone extremely close to me who could use a little help in that department but nonetheless I'm still grateful for having him in my life and for every second I get to spend with him.
• My job, I'm a very lucky girl to gets paid to do what I love to do.
• Vacations! Including the 10 day one that I leave for tomorrow morning!

What are you all thankful for this year?

And lastly before I leave, I wanted to announce the winner of the MD Perricone Giveaway.

Chic 'n Cheap Living!!!

Congrats, darling! I'll be contacting you with further details. And thanks to all who entered!

Have a wonderful day, lovelies!

Beach Bound & A Winner!

Happy Friday, lovelies! Finally the end of the week is here and I couldn't be any happier because I'm heading out on vacation. We're renting a beach house on Fire Island for the entire week! It'll be a nice taste of suburban living for us city folk. Looking forward to basking in the sun, barbecuing and dining al fresco every night, long walks on the beach and finally getting the chance to use my new camera. Should be heavenly!

I'm not leaving you high and dry for the week though. I've lined up a great group of guest bloggers who will be filling in for me while I'm away. And who knows, I might even pop in from time to time :)

Oh and before I go I wanted to announce the winner for the MD Perricone Cold Plasma Giveaway. And the winner is......

Congrats Bella! Please just email me your address and I'll make sure it gets right on out to you. Hope you enjoy it! And thanks to all who entered!

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend and I'll be seeing you soon! xoxo

Summer Lovin {Al Fresco Style}

After a particularly hot and humid few weeks, the past few days have been rather pleasant here. For the first time in weeks, rather than be couped up in air conditioning or being right next to some sort of body of water while wearing only a bathing suit, I'm actually considering venturing outdoors once again to dine in the beautiful fresh summer air. Days like these make me wish that summer will never end. Now if only I had that garden... :)

How has the weather been by you lately? Hope you've all been enjoying pleasant days!

Oh and don't forget to enter the Perricone MD Cold Plasma giveaway! Remember for all you tweeters, you can tweet every day for extra entries.

Good luck to all! xoxo

Giveaway Time! Perricone MD Cold Plasma

Exciting news everyone! It's giveaway time again! And who doesn't love a great giveaway, right? The lovely people over at Perricone MD are offering a jar of the oh so revolutionary Cold Plasma Face Cream, a $150 value, to one of my lucky readers.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Dr. Perricone {doubt there are many, if any!}, he is the world renowned dermatologist and best selling author of many books. He teaches a holistic approach to aging, the Perricone prescription, which includes treating inflammation, the main cause of aging, in three ways: through diet, nutriceutical supplements, and his award-winning line of skin care products and cosmeceuticals.

I am really so thrilled to be able to offer this opportunity to you. Cold Plasma Face Cream is a breakthrough, technologically advanced formula that was years {over 5!} in the making.

Through Dr. Perricone's patented delivery system, Perricone Cold Plasma offers the skin all it needs for optimal health. Cold Plasma helps correct the ten most visible signs of aging, including wrinkles, enlarged pores, dryness, redness, discoloration, uneven skin tone, impurities, loss of firmness, loss of smoothness, and loss of radiance. Sounds like some pretty powerful stuff huh?

And it even has the praise of beauty industry insiders. Which trust me, speaking as a beauty insider, is not an easy thing to do. It was listed as Marie Claire’s '1 of the 25 products that you can’t live without in 2010!' and also won the 2009 WWD Beauty Biz Breakthrough of the Year Award. WWD Beauty Biz is the beauty industry's bible, for those of you who don't know. It's a pretty big deal!

So now onto the details....
