Party Planner Discovers The Many Varieties Of Salt. Who Knew? I mentioned in a recent blog that I like really tiny and then very large and now I have a new thing to add: really strange colors. Purple potatoes, striped beets and yellow carrots all fall into this category. (All […]
An Open Letter to the Universe, The Secret
This was a very challenging week for me. I have chalked it up to Mercury coming out of retrograde. This was not enough of a consolation for me so I turned to my tried and true pick me up – The Secret. I know, I know, people have all kinds […]
Painted Servers
The other night I saw a show on the E! Channel and it featured painted servers. I just love this painted cocktail waitress thing because it is so creative and there’s a ton of opportunity for fabulosity (thank you Kimora Lee Simmons for that word.) These dazzlingly, amazingly beautiful girls […]

Why Not Use This Perfect Baby Shower Game?
I got this email from my NBF Robyn and I thought it would be perfect as a shower game. Fun to put these on a sheet of paper and hand one out to every guest. The one who guesses the most right wins! (Now granted, no nasty emails here, adapt […]
Newest Obsession: Beautiful Pillows and Home + Oromono
Obsessed With Pillows! I blogged earlier about my insane interest in pillows. I am not sure why pillows are such a big deal to me (right now – operative words) other than the fact that cool ones are hard to find. Seriously, when you actually need a pillow, try scouting around […]
