Shopping Hack for Ray-Ban Sunglasses

January 17, 2016

Recently, I went to Sunglass Hut to debate if I should drop $200 on new frames after my cheap sunnies from Target broke. When I was about to talk myself into buying my second pair of aviators, I wondered if I could just replace the lenses in the Ray-Ban frames I already have. To my surprise, I could!

You can order lenses from a Ray-Ban distributor for very cheap by calling Luxottica at 1-800-343-5594. All you need is the size, color code and frame type to order new authentic lenses for less than $25 a lens.

Holiday Champagne Cocktails

If you think about it, everyone contributes something special to the holiday - Grandma cooks Christmas dinner, cousin Jen who puts extra thought into each gift, Aunt Lucy takes all the pictures and a crazy uncle Bob makes everyone feel uncomfortable.

This year, participate by being the holiday mixologist. Serve up a chilled bottle of champagne with a little something extra to make a toast Christmas day.

Easy Holiday Guac!

December 7, 2015

Speaking of holiday parties... who is freaking out about bringing a dish to your next get-together? For someone who doesn't entertain often or cooks for only one person at a time, bringing a dish can be nerve-racking!

Luckily, my holiday guac is a party-pleaser. It's light, delicious and most importantly it is EASY to make. I serve the guac room temperature with tortilla chips or as a salad.

DIY: Tribal Pumpkins for Fall

September 28, 2015

Growing up, I would always look forward to my family’s holiday traditions. When fall settled in, my mom would warm our house with the smells of the season. We would carve pumpkins for the front porch and make caramel apple lollipops with the apples we picked at a local orchard. My mom went to great lengths to make each season special, and looking back I really appreciate her efforts.
