Margarita Anyone?!

In keeping up with my workout regime and healthy lifestyle I am trying Skinny Girl Margaritas. A recipe of low calorie Margaritas made up by Bethennny Frankel known from Real Housewives of NY and as a celebrity nutritional chef. She has come up with these oh so tasty margaritas that double as being good to you and for you. Most mix drinks have alot calories in them because of the added mixers that we put in them on top of the calories that are in the alcohol. So with Skinny Margaritas you sip well and don't worry about how many calories you're packing on, this way you can have more than one without feeling guilty! So be my guest, try one, they are oh so good, Skinny Girl Margaritas!

Hostess With the Apron

In style with the season I love to throw a soiree especially dinner parties. But with throwing them I often run into one problem, I may still be getting some food together while guest are arriving. So then I wonder while preparing for guest should I get dressed then finish cooking and take the chance of getting my outfit dirty, or should I cook and then have the guest entertain themselves while I get dressed? In doing some brainstorming I came up with a plan, I'll get dressed and wear a snazzy apron while I finish preparing the meal. This way I can entertain, look flawless, and finish the task at hand-cooking. And when I say apron I'm not talking about the apron your grandmother use to wear, I'm talking about a unique one of a kind apron. I found one I particularly am impressed with from frenchpresents.com, that is pink with ruffles, if your a little strapped for cash I would recommend purchasing this. On the other hand if money is no object for you splurge on the hautehostess apron's, they have a variety ranging in prices from $100-$300. Please don't feel silly while wearing them other mom's are wearing them, even on their talk shows i.e. Wendy Williams So feel free to check out these websites and others that have some chic aprons, and cheers to you!

FREE, A favorite of mine

Every now and then I stop in Starbucks to give me a little pick me up. So imagine my glee when I found out today if you purchase a beverage you get a pastry for FREE!!! So moms drop the kids off at camp or daycare and before you head into work stop by Starbucks. If you're on vacation grab a good book and head on down there and take the time to read and sip your latte while eating your danish. In today's time it's always good to take advantage of freebies. So go and enjoy, just make sure it's between the times of 5am-10:30am!

Assets of Accessorizing

So today my son had an appointment, and I didn't want to put too much into what I was wearing. It was one of those days where I just wanted to wear jeans and a t-shirt. So I went for the next best option, accessorizing to look FAB. I threw on some jeans, t-shirt and had my Mac golden lip gloss with my black Gucci satchel, black sandals, black Gucci shades, set off with diamond studs. Sometimes all we need as mothers are some accessories to make us look or feel a little better about our look. Right Banana Republic has a sale on accessories, and for the recessionista you can find some cute finds at PinkIce.
