Pantry Check for Unexpected Guests

Summertime is a light and breezy time. It is also the time of year when people "stop by" they are visiting someone in area and figure they would give you a visit.

Here are several must haves for these uninvited guests:

Alcohol:
1. 2 bottles of white wine
2. 2 bottles of red whine
3. 2 bottles of sparkling wine

Beverages:
1. Cold Bottled Water/ Room Temperature Water
2. Lemonade
3. Ice Tea

Appetizers:
The best appetizer company is The Perfect Bite Company, you can buy there products at HSN, Saks, William Sonoma or buy from the company directly.
My picks are:
1. Eggplant Pizza
2. Mushroom Pizza
3. Mini-Cheeseburgers- Apple wood Smoked Bacon to Onion and Blue Cheese
4. Classic Pigs Blanket
These are super easy just put them in the oven at 425 at 20 min., so from time your guests call and when they arrive they will have tasty treats




Crackers:
Water Crackers- light airy crackers that are served in the UK.

Nuts:
The best nuts are Bobby Sue Nuts you can get two large jars of their gourmet nuts for 21.95, typical honey roasted, chocolate covered nuts, and nuts with a little kick!
 


As for sweets:
1. Have a batch of cookies and brownies in the freezer.

Cheers to welcoming/ unwelcoming guests!

Top 5ive Online Sites

 I am all for online shopping, click, click... Today, I am choosing the Top Five sites for online shopping all for very different reasons. 1. Gilt.com  Everyone has heard of them by now, the reason why they snag the top spot is for "Gilt City" offers, Gilt Taste Gilt Home, and of course Gilt Women offerings. "Gilt City" offerings are truly one of kind experiences, and the deals that I have gotten in on, were well worth the money. One deal was a Book Party for Peggy Post at Michael C. Fina, not only did participants get the New Book on Etiquette by Peggy Post, participants where given a 15% discount at Michael C. Fina and the experience of a book party with Peggy Post. "Gilt Taste"  I planned my entire gratitude party using the majority of findings on Gilt Taste, the pricing, shipping charges, and scheduled date of delivery were all fair and accurate. "Gilt Home" offerings I used for my party favors with their candle blowout sales and c...

Waterford or Lenox Anyone??

Hope everyone has recovered from budgeting 101, yesterday. Today, we enter the fine world of crystal and china. You know the stuff that your girlfriend puts on her bridal registry, gets it, but serves you on paper plates. Anyway, one day I was scouring around the Internet to price some crystal flutes. I came across a great, great deal! In the world of crystal and china- Bacarat- the most famous and expensive, waterford.com , and  lenox.com The price points can run from 5,000.00 to a basic Bacarat vase to 150.00 for a leaded crystal flute from waterford.com . In terms of china, my sister's  lenox.com full service china set that I have yet to eat off, which was 10 plus years ago, cost about a month's rent. Anyway, back to the deal-- I was on the  waterford.com site which was absolutely breathtaking, then I noticed the discontinued section, click, click-- 4  waterford.com flutes for only $35.00. What?? I then asked someone else to read the price and descri...

What's On Trend for Spring

This Spring we are seeing a lot of floral, denim, and military styles. You may ask so how do I wear these trends without looking like everyone else. Floral Look: If you are wearing a single floral skirt then go solid with the top, or if you are wearing a completely embellished floral dress leave it alone and just wear it as is, great options on the lower end are from forever21.com , mid range options are at newyorkandcompany.com , and luxury items we recommend aliceandolivia.com The Denim: We see the high rise or Mom jeans are back in style, the deconstructed oversized chambray colored denim shirts that you can wear day or evening. Also, we are seeing constructed denim dresses, that are body con, or scoop neck that if worn with pearls can pass for a great formal first date. The stores that have these looks are hm.com  for the lower price point, mid range price is macys.com  and luxury is saks.com . They have all of the denim needs in the styles we discussed previou...
