Snapshots From Paradise

Hello lovelies! I'm back from my 10 day tropical trip even though I had the most fantastic time I truly missed you all! It really was an unbelievable trip filled with long days basking in the sun, exploring different gorgeous white sand, turquoise water beaches and scoping out the most spectacular sunsets every night.

The weather was absolutely perfect, I couldn't have asked for better, and I'm feeling well rested and rejuvenated and finally ready to get into the swing of the holiday season. I'm way behind because I didn't do one thing to prepare yet so I'm hoping to kick it into high gear today.

I hope you all had a wonderful week and I'm so happy that I had such amazing group of ladies here to fill in for me while I was away. From all of the lovely comments I see that you enjoyed the gorgeousness! Thank you again Julie, DJ, Stacey, Debby, & Shari! Love you all!

Have a wonderful day and I'll be around soon to say hi :) xoxo

Paradise Bound!

Happy Friday, lovelies! I hope all of my American friends had a lovely Thanksgiving yesterday. I don't know about you all, but I'm stuffed and done with eating for a while!

I don't know how great the timing is being I just celebrated Thanksgiving again but you know what, I'm excited anyway! It's finally time for me to peel off that old winter coat and catch some rays! I catching a plane on down to paradise this morning! I'll be in St. Thomas for 10 days but don't worry, I won't be leaving you high and dry. I've lined up some amazing guest posts from some of our favorite bloggers to keep you entertained while I'm gone. And you never know, I might be popping in every now and again to say hi while I'm away :)

Hope you all have a lovely week and enjoy the gorgeous guest posts! I'll miss you all but I'll be back hopefully with some good photos to share on December 6th.

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!

Back to Reality

Sorry I've been MIA for a while. But here I am, back now from a wonderful, fun-filled, super relaxing vacation. I feel a little under the weather today...sniffly, tired and I have a ton of catching up to do. But I can't complain...at least I'm tan and I was able to escape the freezing cold weather that took over NY while I was away :)

Hope you all had a great few days and a wonderful weekend. Can't wait to get back in the swing of things and to see what's been going on with all of you while I've been away.

Catch you all later! xoxo
