Why Not Advertise Yourself?
At T-Lists it's all about what you like! It's about being up front, to the point, and here I am! T-shirt meets personal touch!
Among the styles of t-shirts this particular one intrigued me! Type in your interests and that's it, they do the rest of the work and send you your very own personalized Tee! How original! Here's how mine would read: Will travel now, Animal Lover, Lets shop, I love maps, Need lots of sunlight, A day at the beach. There's even a likes/dislikes theme...now that could get naughty! ;)

What's Your Chocolate IQ?
Considering the amount of chocoholics we have here representing this site, I found it only appropriate to put them to the test. A game of Chocolate Trivia girls? This would be fun with some Chocolate Martinis! Do you know who made the first chocolate bar? This and many other questions will put all you chocolate lovers to the test. Yeah, you know who you are! I have a feeling I know who will win! I found this game online at Calliope Boutique! A great gift for you, me and anyone who loves chocolate! Indulge!

Pear Threads = Fabulous
I bought a handmade bag from Pear Threads in Dec 05. I was a little apprehensive about buying this because I'm pretty rough on my handbags. But the bag was just too cute and so unique to pass up, plus it was whispering "buy me. I said!" So I did. Best handbag I have ever owned. The quality is outstanding. After a year and a half of using it off and on, it still looks like this. And I get so many compliments! They also offer clutches, messenger bags, headbands and belts too. Go at it!

Bringing The Beach Home!
On a recent trip to Yankee Candle, I could not resist buying the new Sun & Sand scented candle! As soon as I got home I tested my new purchase and wow! It was everything I imagined and more! The beach was all around me! This scent is true to its description. I'm definitely going back for the other items in this scent. I absolutely love the smell of the beach and if you're anything like me, you will too! Check your local Yankee Candle because their always having sales! Now where's that hammock?

I know of such a place, a place far, far away...
Expensive but elegant, these pendants by SpoonFed Art tell a story all of their own. This particular one that I have featured reminds me of a far away place, almost magical where it's quiet and you might hear the flutter of a fairy! The interesting part? They are all made from spoons! Yes, spoons! They are all beautiful and unique! The cost? Yes, usually I would not spend this much on a pendant but there always seems to be that one special occasion when you or someone you know deserves something very special! As I looked at each one it was like reading a story. Put your imagination to the test! Try it! Mention Health Magazine when ordering for a 10% discount.

Where else can you get eight entrees in two hours?
Well I have to say (without trying an entrée yet) Lets Dish was awesome. Let's Dish is an innovative store where you can make (or pick up) dishes designed to be frozen and cooked when you need them. It's set up like buffet stations but with ingredients, there were 20 stations (dinners). The recipe is there and you put it all together in bags to freeze. They allow you to split the meals and even give you the recipe split (after a long day at work, I was grateful). This is especially good considering there are six servings per dinner.
My friend Erin and I both chose four meals, we split them and now we both have 8 dinners that serve 3 (i.e. two portions for the boys cos they eat a lot). The portions sizes are really decent, not what I expected. They also give you a few cooking options like grilling, baking, crocking etc. Everything was fresh, clean and the people that worked there were super nice and wicked helpful. I thought it was a little pricey at first when we paid $96 each, but now that I realize that we have two weeks worth of dinners, that's just $48 a week, which is about the same if not less than I would spend on a normal week for entrées. And you can make 4, 8 or 12 dinners! Oh and if you can get a big enough group together you can have a private party.

He's always up to sneaky tricks!
He's always up to sneaky tricks. I love the design of this, as well as the saying (in French!). It's roomy and has a matching laptop case. They also have some amazing luggage tags; this of the Eiffel Tower one is my favorite! I'd be afraid, tho, to use it on my luggage cause people would fall in love with it and take it for their own :-) There's even a bag with my name on it! Browse around this site, you're sure to find something to tickle YOUR fancy!

You Too Can Have A Green Thumb!
With the first glimpse of grass revealed from beneath the melting snow and the sounds of the birds chirping I thought about spring and the flowers that would soon start to bloom, Hmmm... What would I plant this year? I knew I wanted something fragrant, but what? With the Garden Makers Fragrant Flower Garden Kit it was easy! Leave it to the experts! They also have a French Market, Bird-Bee-Butterfly, and a Culinary Herb Kit! All of which are found at Olive Barn! I'm anticipating spring so much I can smell it, and I soon will!

"Will f*ck for shoes"
You know some days I don't feel like playing the bad girl and just want to say what's on my mind. But the thing is, sometimes I've just got to be good. That's why I fell in love with Lochers tops: they let you say all the nasty stuff that's going on in your mind, but it's camouflaged in delicate embroidery on soft cottony-romantic styles.
Many thanks to reader Monika for sending us the link!

Martha's Vineyard Glassworks
Spring is already here. Think summer! A cool ocean breeze, warm sun, yellow dunes - all captured in the hand-blown glass works of Martha's Vineyard artists. I know about it because my son's friend Harrison Neel started working there last fall after completing his study in Sweden. Martha's Vineyard Glassworks. Check it out on your next visit to Vineyard.

Don't you wish everything was so Simple?
The first entry from my sister Tara.
Thumbing through a Eddie Bauer catalog (one of my favorite places to shop) recently, I see them. They're nothing fancy, not too trendy, just very simple sneakers. Or are they shoes? I'm not sure exactly what you call them, but heck, they were kinda cute.
You have to understand I am not the type to buy shoes like these, ever! I normally stick to the old trusty New Balance running sneaker that is comfy and reliable. So stick to what you like and what works for you, right? Well, I kept going back to the page with these shoe-sneaker things. Should I? Shouldn't I? Until finally I said to myself, "you know what, I am going to get them! They're on sale for $39.99, so what the heck!"
When I found them on my doorstep not to long after, I was surprised to see a Simple brown box. I opened it and picked them up and they were so light. Ahhhh, but how do they feel? I put them on and I heard my little feet sigh. I swear! They were instantly wearable, and ridiculously comfy. I noticed on the box they were not Eddie Bauer shoes but actually from Simple; a nice little shoe company out of Santa Barbara. Bottom line? Good Shoe + Good Company = Happy me!! Ohhh and happy feet, too!!

Preppy-licious
I came across this pendant at a vendor shopping extravaganza. Erin and I immediately fell in love with Initial Reactions products and both purchased a necklace. The pendant is heavy weight sterling silver with your initial that may also have a special message or date added to the reverse side. I love that you can also choose whether or not you want a tie or toggle ribbon and the ribbon selection is endless. One piece of silver offers so many options it's almost to hard too choose.

Confessions Of A Flip Flop Virgin
It's true! I have never owned a pair of flip flops! When I tell people this I get the same jaw dropping response, "Really?" Well, I have decided to take the plunge and free my feet. With upcoming travel plans that include the beach I wanted something comfortable and open.
In the great search I found the perfect flip flop. These Havaianas flip flops are so pretty. The description-> "Soft as marshmallows, light, and highly durable." All of which they attribute to their, "Highly guarded secret rubber recipe," Hmmm! I especially like the flowers and from the reviews they are also very comfortable. I can't wait! There are so many styles to choose from, check it out at My Shoe Store.
