Enchanted Graveyard Pomegranate Punch
If there ever was an ocassion to serve a "signature cocktail," it is on Halloween. This concotion includes: pomegranate juice, vodka, spiced apple butter, and bitters, all mixed with candied ginger, ginger beer, and bubbly champagne.  Cheers!

I love to serve bruschetta. Men especially seem to enjoy it. But the idea of serving as a big board is genius. Your guests will have fun creating their own.
A good looking presentation will be a chic conversation starter. 

Black Matte & Copper Wine Glasses

Set Up A Chili Bar
I have done this. Guests really enjoy "having it their way." Consider this the chili bar of your dreams.

Black Widow Smash
What a spooky but stylish cocktail! It's made with mezcal, which has a natural smokiness about it.  The color comes from blackberries, the brightness from lemon and orange bitters. The added spook factor is achieved by lighting the sprig of rosemary.


Lit Wire Pumpkins
They are battery operated, so they can be placed anywhere, indoors or out. Great for the dining table or any corner of the house. Now on sale at

Prime Day Pampering

 

Shopping at Amazon can be totally overwhelming. I have taken the pain out of it by linking you to the best of the Prime Day pampering deals. Think luxe skincare, makeup, beauty tools and more. Not a Prime Member? Today is a good day to sign up and save. Plus you will get 30 days free! I love the free fast shipping which is usually 1-2- days. That means you never run out of your must have beauty and skincare. In my opinion, membership is so worth it!

Dazzle Dry Nail Lacquer
I have been using this for about 18 months. It's created with non toxic formulas and is said to last for up to 2 weeks. I only get about a week, but that is four days more than any other polish. I wear the color "Poised," and love it. Best yet, when using the entire system it is perfectly dry in 5 minutes. Not all colors are on sale, but quite a few are. A nice savings of $5.00

One of my very fave brands for bath and body. It's all about the power of goat milk. My skin loves the bar soap, whipped body cream, foot balm, wipes, and deoderant. 

R + Co Haircare
I use three of their products daily. The Biotin Shampoo and Conditioner really adds body. The Balloon, spray hair volumizer is what really gives my hair the oomph! It can puff this fine limp hair in a minute! It's all included in the Prime Big Deals.

RMS Beauty
This brand is getting a lot of buzz of late. I have not tried it, but have friends who have, and they love it. It's clean beauty, and quite a bit of it is serum based. It looks interesting to me. It's luxe but the prices are more affordable for this big deal sale.

With a cult following, this brand is offering nice discounts on so many of their products including Nude, Glow, CC Cream, Celebration Foundation, and Bye Bye Undereye.

OGEE Organic Skincare and Makeup
I have yet to try this brand, but my niece loves it. You can save over $25 on their Face Stick Trio. This product alone has over 5,000 5 star reviews on their website. Other products are on sale, as well.

These masks are exceptional. What a buy! Normally $60. Now $36. That's 40% off One of the best deals of the day. My favorite masks are the Pumpkin Enzyme and 24 K Gold. One exfoliates fabulously which lightens fine lines and wrinkles. The latter tightens everything up.


Excellent products and much of it has been made for women of a certain age. The makeup brushes are excellent!

It's a beautiful skincare and makeup line that rarely can be found on sale. Today you can save up to 24% on many of her products.

I have learned about these very inexpensive patches from The Beauty Blotter.  I follow Kirsten and trust her judgement. Worth a try!

I do love Sigma's makeup brushes. They are some of the best. You do have to clean them, and I use their cleaning tools to do so. It's all on major sale today. I highly recommend both the mats and brush shampoo.

The Laundress
It's back and I found it on sale at Amazon! I so consider this product to be pampering. It makes your clothing and laundry room smell so lovely. And it is a treat for your clothing! Try it again.

Another haircare line that I really think works. In fact I use the hair thickener every time I wash my hair. It's excellent. Save up to 30% on the line today.

Shop Etsy's Big Fall Sale


Amazon is not the only one having a big sale today. (my picks of that sale will be shared tomorrow.) Etsy is offering $10 off  $40 orders with Code: YES10. It feels good to support small businesses, especially when the artisans are so talented. Scroll down for some of my favorite shops for jewelry, gifts, stationery, and home decor.

A wonderful Etsy shop! I love it for gifts. You will find watercolor stationery, gift wrap, pillows, notebooks and more.  It's all made and personalized to order. It's fresh, feminine, and a touch fancy for the modern girl.

Shop owner, Katina Brown brings the drama with her statement making earrings! Many are created with fabulous leather feathers. You will also find beaded bracelets. It's all more than affordable. Katina would be happy to design something just for you.

Celebrities like John Legend, a man of style for sure, recognize the quality of workmanship of so many Etsy artisans. His holiday collection represents festive decor and gifts made by women, black, and underrepresented Etsy sellers.  Now you can celebrate like a Legend!

"Purveyors of all things clear and shiny." This Etsy shop is a decorators  (or yours) dream. Their handcrafted lucite cabinet handles, hardware, furniture, shelving and more can really elevate the look of a room. I love everything!

Planing a wedding? If so, you need to head to Olivia Kate Couture. I can't imagine a more fabulous collection. They are made to order and shipped from central Florida.

The artist and  shop owner, Irene,  creates her magic in Broomfield, Colorado. Her hand painted acrylic signs, table numbers, seating charts, and more are amazing additions to any special party or wedding. Irene not only enjoys sharing her talents, she loves working with event planners, brides, moms, and all involved. It's all so special.

One of the best things about Etsy is that you can get to know the shop owners. They are real people that hand craft their products. Shelby and Kyra of this jewelry shop, take so much pride in their work. They are simply delightful, and specialize in unique and custom designs. Their prices are more than fair and affordable. I highly recommend this shop!
