Jaime Oliver


My friend Todd recently told me about an app for the iphone called 20 minute meals- Jamie Oliver. It is the best cooking app and it costs $7.99. When I dug a little deeper and learned more about the renowned British chef & host of Food Revolution, I became a big fan. In my research I found a video describing his latest project, which is his mission to lead a food revolution in this country and I say it's about time! I think he is awesome and the changes that he is setting out to make are desperately needed. You simply ROCK, Jamie Oliver! Watch this video and become a fan too ( I found this on Joanna Goddard's blog- A cup of Jo.)

Birthday Surprise

I just love this! Wouldn't you just die if someone wished you a happy birthday in such a creative and thoughtful way. Absolutely positively PRECIOUS! A big "thank you" to San Fran based party planner Jordan Ferney and his wonderful blog Oh Happy Day! for sharing this sweet moment. This just shows that it doesn't take a lot of money to make someone feel like a million bucks!

Wine Tag Humor

I love these adorable wine tags from Papermash...and they are so perfect for me because whenever I choose a wine as a gift, I always feel like I need to include a disclaimer or a note of apology incase it is no good (I'm afraid I wouldn't know the difference...after a few sips it all tastes pretty good to me)! I always choose the wine based on the pretty bottle or label never knowing a thing about the wine itself...that is why these tags are just what I need : )

Free Cone Day 2010!

Well, I can't believe that it has been nearly a year since I started this blog. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't hear that it was time for "Free Cone Day" at Ben & Jerry's...which happened to be the first thing I ever blogged about. So get out today and get yourselves some free ice cream love at the grooviest ice cream parlor in America!

Liberty of London for Target is here!

I mentioned a while back that Liberty of London has a limited time offering at Target that I am thrilled about! Well, the new line previewed the other day and of course I was one of the first through the doors to see what they had before my fellow L of L admirers snatched it all up! The items were gorgeous...cute ladies clothing, bathing suits, wallets, totes, dishes, etc. I have to say...I went a bit crazy. There won't be much left to buy soon, so make sure you get there soon!
