I will just be coming back and hopefully will be excited to tell you all about a wonderful and smooth trip.  Hope you are enjoying a wonderful spring weekend, weeks are going by awfully quick and before you know it summer will be here!

Onward to my post this weekend….

1 SPRING AROUND HERE Suddenly everything is coming to life, the birds are chirping away, the grass is intensifying into a beautiful rich green color. The sakera and cherry blossoms are blooming and the daffodils and tulips are coming to life. Spring is magical around here.

 

 

2 FINALLY A RESTAURANT THAT HAS IT RIGHT! Read about this restaurant in Verona, Al Condominio,  that offers a free bottle of wine to any patron willing to check their phones at the door. Brilliant! Can restaurants in the U.S. please take note! We have been to Verona and it is absolutely beautiful and boasts having one of the oldest amphitheater’s in the world.

We by chance, were there on the very last night of the opera season and got to attend, it was a definite “pinch me” moment.  If we ever go back, I will be happy to patronize this restaurant. I am all onboard for this “Digitaldetox” movement.

3 INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST A bevy of beauty this weekend….

 

 

4 NECK SCULPTING WANDS! Anyone try this? I am tempted to purchase but would love to know if anyone has used this or something similar? It seems to have a lot of great reviews. This is meant for the neck and jawline and frankly I could use a little help in that department:) I am petrified of needles so have never done fillers, botox, etc…which makes this that much more appealing!  It has hyralonic acid and replenishes moisture and plumps skin cells. Many awards have been given to this particular brand. Curious if anyone has purchased it?  Would love to know!

5  A FUN TABLE-SETTING VIDEO Love this video featuring hostess Courtney Petit who happens to also be our customer and who is quite talented at table-setting. Enjoyed seeing her pro tips here along with seeing a number of our products in several of her spaces, always fun:)

 

 

6 SUPER COMFY SNEAKERS! I bought these about a month ago, and have to say they are so comfortable and actually really nice looking too. They are from Veronica Beard. I have to be really careful with shoes as I have developed a bunion (ugh) and trying to do anything I can to avoid surgery including wearing comfy shoes. I tried on a lot of shoes like this and finally found a great fitting pair. These fit the bill and come in a few pretty color combinations. They slip on, so no loose shoe strings, have a good deal of cushion and look great. Perfect travel shoe. Click here to see

 

 

7 SUNDAY’S SURVEY Most people consider summer the big travel season. If you do travel, do you tend to plan for summer travel, other seasons or year round? Are you a planner or more of a “wing it” kind of person who thrives on spontanaiety?  We are excited to be back to traveling again and hoping to plan a trip or two this summer. Curious about you and where you fall…..
