There’s No Place Like Home

What am I thankful for during the holidays this year? Oh so many things but to just scratch the surface for what I was able to do today:

*Stuff my face for breakfast with my family at this place. (My favorite diner in the country that I’ve written about before of course.) 
*Relax and work, not from a cubicle but in this fabulous little coffee shop.
*Have dinner with an elementary school friend at this gorgeous spot. (Yes it really looks like this. I know, it is indeed like a postcard. Exactly what you’d expect. About 3 doors down from tonight’s dinner spot is the Norman Rockwell museum. How so Vermont. 
I love snapping photos like these and acting like a tourist where I grew up. Somehow it just never gets old. Funny how all you can think about when you’re a kid growing up in a small town is how the heck to get out of there because- “ugh- it is sooo boring.” Then when you’re old enough to know better, you realize that boring small place was actually pretty perfect, totally charming and that you can’t wait to go back.

Up And Atem!

I snapped this shot at a Caribou coffee in the airport. (Hey- I think it’s funny:) Shortly after taking this photo I got on my plane where I couldn’t stop giggling with the lady next to me because the guy behind us was snoring so loud it could’ve moved a mountain. (This guy was snoozing away before the cabin door was even closed!) Next up was the lady next to me grabbing my leg and hand as we took off because she was deathly afraid of flying, and finally out of nowhere this little voice starts belting out tunes. Beat It was her first song. Word for word. What a nice tribute to MJ from a kid thought- as I turned around to stare straight at the most adorable little munchkin singing away. She could not have been more than 4 years old. Too cute.

All of this above before 6:15am this morning.
Who says getting up at 3:30am and traveling during the holidays is a hassle and no fun? Love this stuff. I’m actually considering asking Jet Blue if I can live on these comfy couches here at the brand spanking new JFK terminal. Talk about never be bored…

You Got That Dress For How Much?

Have something fancy-schmancy to go to? Feel like looking sassy or smoking-hot for someone? Your bank account not as fat-daddy as it used to be? Think it’s crazy to spend hundreds on a dress you might only wear one time?

Yep. Me too. Me too. Me too. Me too.
Here you can rent the runway for $50-$200. This means you can pick a dress of your dreams in your size, have it mailed to your house, wear it to any place, soiree, “thing” your little heart desires, toss it back into the included dry cleaning bag and send it right on back only spending a fraction to rent it instead of buying it.
Brilliant and perfect timing for that upcoming holiday party.
No matter what kind of girl you are (even if you are rolling in the dough) this is just a smart alternative to packing yet another LBD into your closet to collect dust. How else are you going to be able to wear that uber-pricey gorgeous designer get-up you’ve been dreaming of for cheaper than this? Bonus; consider it environmentally conscious! Several fashion-loving gals get use out of one dress. Less material used. Less waste. Love that.
Rent it, wear it, and shake your groove-thang.
