Bittersweet Bracelets are Simple but Amazing
This is literally one of those products that you say to yourself “Why didn’t I think of this.” The invention is simple but amazing and I am so excited to wear it! BitterSweet bracelet was designed to hold an always needed hair tie elastic within a classy bracelet. If you are like me, I am always strutting a hair tie elastic around my wrist…… not a pretty site especially with a dress. I do this because when I need my hair pulled back, the hair tie will be readily available and I don’t have to go searching for one….. you can never find one when you are in need of one! Besides being an eye sore around my wrist and an unfashionable statement, the hair tie elastic was tight and uncomfortable, stopping my circulation and irritating my skin! They actually made dents around my wrist. BitterSweet bracelet holds a hair tie elastic in a crevice circling around the stylish bracelet, eliminating the pressure from the elastic to the wrist.
Believe it or not, the hair tie elastic is actually part of the design of the stylish bracelet. It is channeled in, making the design of the bracelet look like no other piece of jewelry ever made. Even when the hair tie elastic is in use holding my hair back, the BitterSweet bracelet is elegant and modern. Therefore, the bracelet can be worn with or without the hair tie elastic and still look chic. BitterSweet is a cool way to keep your hair tie elastic readily available with you at all times without the painful elastic band indentions! With eleven different designs in gold, silver, rose gold or steel finish…. it is hard to chose one! This stunning invention makes a perfect Valentine’s gift, birthday present or just a “sweet” little surprise for your special person in your life! If you are a slave to wearing that plain hair tie elastic band around your wrist, don’t wait any longer, let BitterSweet bracelet change your life….. as it changed mine! Available from $45.00 to $85.00 at http:/www.bittersweet.is/

Party Perfect Cocktail Hour
I LOVE this concept for a wedding, party or celebration. A nice eclectic mix of the old with the new…it’s simply chic and charming with every detail from the lighting to the linen bar and ottomans to the punch of hot pink as the accent color that is carried throughout the theme of the design. Hmmm…this makes me what to start planning my next party!

It’s all about those Grammys
As we know last night was the Grammys awards. Stars flooded the red carpet in beautiful AND jaw dropping fashions that are making headlines. I have always loved watching award shows, especially the red carpet, to see just how creative people can get. It was a show with some dos and dont’s of red carpet fashion. Hard to believe Taylor Swift made the worst dress list when that one was one of my favorites.
Many memorable performances of the night were Sia performing her hit single “Chandelier” with Maddie Zieglar dancing, Annie Lennox with Hozier and my personal favorite Lady Gaga with Tony Bennet performing “Cheek to Cheek”. Not only great performances but many awards were handed out as well. It was defintely a night of star studded bliss that will keep us all talking.
But like I said Im all about those red carpet looks & these ladies (& gentleman) didn’t dare disappoint when it came to their look and may I Just add…Miley you look great.
Beyonce
Miley Cyrus
Rhianna
Annie Lennox
Big Sean and Ariana Grande

Foodie or Gym Rat, Which are you?
There are two types of people who live a healthy lifestyle: those who rely on their diet and hardly workout (I call them foodies), or those who rely on exercise and watch what they eat…sometimes (gym rat.)
I am truly a person who has to work out, (I guess I’m a gym rat) but I do eat clean and really do pay attention to what I put in my mouth but I must work out! I am so jealous of those skinny chicks who have a turkey sandwich for lunch and a salad for dinner, go to a yoga class and stays a size 2! Whatever, I say to you, whatever! I too will have a turkey sandwich for lunch and a salad for dinner but if I don’t go and run on that elliptical for 45 minutes I will be 5 sizes bigger.
We all heard 80% Diet 20% exercise but is that true? Somewhat, It is more like 80% diet, 10% exercise and 10% genetics (you can’t count out your mother’s hips!) I have very conflicting genetics. I wish I could pick which is more prominent, but hey you have to work with what you got. On my mother’s side big and beautiful; on my father’s size; muscular and lean. I am a combo so I have to watch what I eat to maintain the weight and exercise to maintain my muscle. Solely watching what I eat along does me no good and only working out does not work for me either. Learning your body is type and what works best for you is the key.
The bottom line is I rely on both; eating well and working out. Eating well is very important and exercise is important also. Think of it this way a car needs gas and oil to run, it can’t run strictly on gas without oil nor oil without gas. Your body is a vehicle, so eat well AND workout! Let me know ….. are you a foodie or gym rat?

Dr. Teals is a bath lovers delight!
Soaking in Dr. Teal’s Soothe & Sleep Lavender Foaming Bath, gives you the best of both worlds. While soaking in a hot tub of water and enjoying the aroma of lavender you will also benefit from the soothing and healing properties of epsom salt. Even if you are not achy, I say “soak anyway! Here in New England, while the outside temperatures are freezing, there is nothing like getting into a tub of water where the temperature is hot hot hot!!! Of course, adding a capful or two or three of Dr. Teal’s Soothe & Sleep Lavender Foaming Bath is just what the doctor ordered. Dr. Teals Foaming Bath is delightful not only in the winter months but provides a therapeutic bath year round.
Dr. Teal’s Soothe & Sleep Lavender Foaming Bath is not only calming to the senses, but contains essential oils that relax and sooth your body and relieves your stress, which will help for a better night’s sleep. Dr. Teal’s Foaming Bath contains Lavender, a fabulous aroma and one of my favorite scents.
Besides Dr. Teal’s Sooth and Sleep Foaming Bath, try Dr. Teals Tention and Fatigue Foaming Vapor Bath or Dr. Teal’s Foaming Milk Bath. Dr. Teal’s is also available in bags of epsom salt soaking solutions with aromas like Relax and Relief with Eucalyptus Spearment, Comfort and Calm with Chammolile, and your basic epsom salt soaking solution which has been tested and approved by everyone I know with aches, pains and minor discomforts.
