Hello! Hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful Sunday! The internet was being updated in our area today, hence the delay. We are having some great weather, and started the day off with Pickle ball, always fun. Felt rusty but we all soon got back in the groove. A good positive way to start the day then we are off to the city. Life has been ultra busy lately with my design project, decision making starting to really crank up on my own house end, spending time with Phillip, running a business,etc…..not a lot of down time!<\/p>\n

Sure enough got the first emails about dorm sales and fall jackets. Hope to maximize carving out fun time for the 6 or weeks that remain. OK, onward to my post today….<\/p>\n

1 THEY ARE LIVING MY DREAM!\u00a0 <\/strong>OK, tell me this is not a dream each one of us has had at some point in life? It has been one of mine (of many) for a long time. This American mother and daughter Marjorie Taylor and Kendall Smith Francini relocated to France to live their dream. They opened a small cooking school, Cooks Atelier in 2008 and the rest is history.<\/p>\n

They now operate a very celebrated cooking school with a culinary boutique and a wine shop out of a 17th street building in Burgundy, the heart of the Burgundy wine region. This has shot straight up to my bucket list! This is what I define as truly living the dream! Click here to find out more….<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

5 BEST FOUNDATION I HAVE EVER USED!<\/strong> So much so that it promoted me to do a Beauty Files post which will post sometime soon. I kept hearing about this foundation and finally ran out of the one I was using and lo and behold…they were not kidding.<\/p>\n

This is amazing! I love that it gives my skin a dewy look. (I have dry skin) it gives nice coverage but natural looking. I even chose a shade online and it was perfect, I was told a shade that is one of their best selling shades, the shade is 1N14. A soft netural light beige with no yellow. LOVE how it makes my skin look. I get the hype now!\u00a0 I don’t wear foundation everyday often wear a skin tint but do on occasion an always if we are going out at night, I like to glam things up a bit. A fan for life!

7 SUNDAY’S SURVEY<\/strong>\u00a0 So I am curious as to wetter you are seeing this or not. I have seen this with increasing frequency. Our local stores like CVS and Walgreerns locking up everything from Advil and Tylenol to nasal decongestants and now….deodorant??? I saw this yesterday and i did a double take. We live in a really nice are, so this is particularly shocking to me. Are you seeing this too? Seems crazy that theft of such items is that rampant that they feel the need to lick it all up! Doesn’t say good things about our society if this is the trend.<\/p>\n
