holiday entertaining & gifts...

Last week on INsight:

Holiday Entertaining - Emilie, Charity and I discuss my article for Fort Wayne Monthly magazine, Making Magic. I had such fun writing the story and hope the readers enjoyed my tips for easy yet stylish holiday entertaining!

Last Minute Gift Ideas - The Monogram Shoppe here in Fort Wayne has the most amazing selection of gifts for everyone and anyone. I show Emilie and Charity just a tiny fraction of what the store has to offer!

Thanks for watching & reading!!

egads!

This December threw me for a loop! It has been an exciting month for me and my family...exciting and busy. I feel very lucky and blessed these days because I have an amazing family, wonderful friends (old & new) and I am so happy to be working on all my various projects. I have neglected NWS these past few days as Mr. Fox was terribly ill. He made a recovery right before Christmas which was no doubt one of my favorite gifts.

Speaking of gifts...I must have been a good girl this year! Santa knew I was having tech issues and took great pains to remedy that. He also remembered that even though I adore electronics I love jewels even more. I'm happily typing this post on my new laptop while wearing the latest addition to my Alexis Bittar collection.

Cheers to a thrilling 2011! I cannot wait to see what 2012 will bring...

wish list...

I sure hope Santa reads my blog (and knows where to buy Alexis Bittar)!

Happy Holidays Dahlinks...

facial massage...

While I was supposed to be shopping for others I came across a 'new to me' beauty tool I consider to be a must have! This massager (with a bamboo handle!) by The Body Shop is a nubby rolling pin for your face and neck which is supposed to help improve blood flow and increase the absorption of your treatments. I just think it feels nice...

You should really just take my word for it because the tester tool for you to try in store is disgustingly filthy...don't even touch it. Just grab a new one, pay the $8 and send me a thank you note. It's quite a relaxing little ritual, espesh if you get someone else to do it for you! 

Always use on clean skin, follow the included instructions and rinse the tool well, post massage.

This massager would be a great stocking stuffer for a beauty junkie or as part of a relaxation themed gift basket for the spa girl in your life!
