2021 has been another crazy year. It seems like we were ringing in the new year just yesterday, and now we're already on the verge of 2022. As we prepare to say goodbye to this year, I wanted to ask you: What are some of your favorite memories from this year?

Whether it's a specific moment or an ongoing experience, I'd love to hear about it! For...

The holiday season is in full swing, which means time is short, and the to-dos are long. One way to free up some time this holiday season is to have 2-3 go-to looks to get you through the end of the year and all of its cheer!

I recently started wearing Spanx pants, and they won my heart with upgraded fabrics and classics with a splash of...

Over Thanksgiving, I was laughing about how I’m now that mom who “just wants her kids and family to be happy and healthy.” I say I was laughing because in the past when asked for gift ideas, my grandmother or any number of older friends or relatives would say, “I just want my kids to be healthy and happy.”

 I...

Uh oh..do you hear what I hear? That’s right, the holidays are HERE!

Whether you are staying home for the holidays, traveling, or hiding under the covers, a splash of holiday STYLE is sure to make you smile!  Ok, that was corny even by my standards.

FashionSHEsta Style for the Holidays! The simple FashionSHEsta formula for Style...

I just watched the interview with Oprah and Adele where she vulnerably shares her experience of the emotional mind f*ck of being the one who chooses to end the marriage.

My intention is to get the conversation started and connect with others who are experiencing the same thing by taking a bold breath and sharing my experience with you without...

I recently started using the Apple Card. It doesn’t have an annual fee and I like that I can see (in a friendly way) what I’ve spent for the day/week/month etc

 I didn’t “need” another card but I like the idea of Apple Pay, plus the actual credit card is white and well, it was the only color card I...

I love Fall! The crisp mornings, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, cozy sweaters, and all of the tastes and smells of Fall... pumpkin spiced candles, a homemade apple pie with the perfect crust, or the smell of the first fire of the season. All favorite things!

My husband, Bob, and I are fortunate to live in a warm and friendly neighborhood....

As the package of boneless pork chops and I stared at each other trying to figure out how we can leave the Shake-N-Bake in the cabinet and add some actual flavor, I remembered that one of my husband’s favorite meals at our favorite restaurant is a pork chop stuffed with bacon, apple, and cheese. This is what the pork chops and I came up...

Chances are you have either hosted or attended a direct sales demonstration at a home party or online. Pampered Chef, Partylite, Ruby Ribbon Clothing, Thirty-One Gifts, Origami Owl, or Park Lane Jewelry are a few examples. Some of you may already know that I was in direct sales for 20 years. I was an independent contractor for home decor,...

As the sun sets on summer, we begin to look ahead to all the Fall feels...football games, falling leaves, cozy sweaters for those crisp mornings that are heading our way here in New Jersey, and an annual PSL (Pumpkin Spiced Latte) to make us question why we continue to overpay for a grossly sweet beverage that sometimes tastes like what I...

Wow, Labor Day weekend is here whether we beach people like it or not. (Actually, where I live September is considered “local’s summer” —the crowds are gone but the sunshine and warm temperatures remain for a few extra weeks

Here's an easy dip to make when you don't want to bust out the grill or try to remember where you put the skewers for traditional S'mores.

**Fun Fact 

The name "S'mores" is short for "Some more."
