Hello dear reader. I do hope you had a beautiful Christmas. But even if family members were far away, someone was ill (maybe even you), the weather was frightful or you were missing a loved one who passed recently, I hope you were able to celebrate the coming of Emanuel, God with us, for at least a few thoughtful minutes. Holidays can be hard, but the truth of Christmas offers us hope and peace regardless. Let’s grab hold of that and choose to be grateful.

I’m actually taking the day off and enjoying more time with family, but last week I put together this post using the analytics from my affiliate programs. It’s always helpful for me to look through the data at year end so that I can see what is resonating with my readers. I’ll also be publishing other “TOP 22 in 2022” posts in the next few

We are oh so close to Christmas! In fact I’m heading out of town today to begin festivities with my family. So I’m closing up shop and counting myself officially on vacation. All the same I’ve gathered up lots of holiday outfits for a little outfit inspiration here today. And tomorrow I’m inviting you to a Holiday Coffee with Kay, just to chat a bit before we all celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

I finally felt like the Christmas holidays had arrived yesterday. James and I were treated to a special lunch, just the two of us, at a nice restaurant. It was such a lovely time. Then we ran a couple of errands and came home. But there was just no rush. I’ve completed all my sponsorship obligations for the year, so that is a big weight off my shoulders. And today I’m training my two assistants to take over yet another task that I can gladly pass on to them. So I’m beginning to breathe a little more easy these days.

Last Minute Christmas Gifts for the Whole Family

I’m spending these two days getting all the loose ends tied up at work and then we’re spending the holiday weekend with family. I think I’ve finished my shopping, but we do have one package we still need to ship to my son and daughter-in-law because we’re waiting on one

Maybe it’s because my wedding anniversary is January 2, and I frequently receive them as gifts, but I often enjoy starting the new year with a new bottle of perfume. Soon that fresh scent becomes my signature fragrance for that year. And sometimes when I smell that distinctive fragrance again…sometimes years later…it evokes memories of that particular year in my life. Well the new year is fast approaching, so today I thought I’d share some of my personal favorites and some trending fragrances that I found at Sephora at Kohl’s.

New Year, New Fragrance

I love that we can now shop our favorite scents at Sephora in our local Kohl’s store. But did you know you can also shop Sephora at Kohl’s online? And frequently you can find that what you’re shopping for online is indeed available in your local store, so you can opt for store pickup in checkout. I just find

Have you started partying yet? Well I hope we all have at least one chance during the coming weeks to put on the ritz a little and step out in style. If you don’t have anything in particular on your calendar, create something! I think it’s always fun just to treat yourself to a nice dinner out. So you could certainly wear one of these chic holiday looks from Kohl’s for those understated but festive outings.
