Weekend Watermelon

I'm a bit obsessed with watermelon lately.  It's the perfect snack, and I have to admit I like mine with a bit of salt ;-).  So, of course I was thrilled when I stumbled across some new ways to incorporate the fabulous fruit into my daily menu!  Check out some new recipes courtesy of Self Magazine.  Have a great day!!!

Party Clothes to Pop the Champagne

The weekend is winding down and I'm ready for my last week of school before a long vacation.  After watching the news all weekend, my thoughts and prayers go out to all who have been affected by the tragedy in Connecticut.  Hug your loved ones.  

New Year's will be here before you know it.  Do you have party plans?  Whether you do or don't, I always enjoy seeing what everyone will be wearing for the celebration.  Self Magazine gives us a glimpse into what's hot this season.

True Country: Miranda Lambert

I've said before that I love Miranda Lambert.  She's tough, yet girly, and I love that she says what she feels.  I definitely think I could be friends with her.  I like to refer to her as true, redneck country.  She doesn't apologize for who she is, and that's evident in this month's issue of Self Magazine, where she looks adorable on the cover.
