Pamper Your Pet

I hope that you all had a great weekend. It was beautiful in my part of the world. Sunday, we spent some time in a park on the lakefront. It was great fun watching all of the doggies and their owners enjoying some warm weather. For a minute, I found myself wanting a dog again. Since today is National Pet and Kids Day, I hope that this post gets that thought out of my system! Pampering your pet is easy with this stylish selection.

Wedding Wednesday: Paws Of Honor

Saturdays At Shop This: A Royal Recap

This week the world mourned the loss of music royalty, Prince. For sure the doves cried on Thursday. Then the world celebrated the Queen's 90th birthday on the same day. Isn't it interesting how life has a way of balancing itself?  Here's what else is trending.

Speaking of the Queen and in case you missed it....My first Mother's Day edit featured Royal Gifts Worthy Of Your Queen Mum. See them HERE.

More royal news: I am proud to now call Harrods of London an affiliate. If you have been to their London flagship, you know why this is so exciting.

Perhaps you have heard of Jessica Alba's super successful business, The Honest Company. I am so happy to be working with them. Their thoughtfully designed, innovative, and safe products for the home and babies are impressive.  Click Here for a special Coupon Code.

As you know, yesterday was Earth Day. This begs the question, "Shouldn't every day be earth day?" Etsy has a great roundup of the Best Of Reclaimed Products. 

Have you changed up your nail color for Spring yet? I just did, and I am loving Essie's "Take It Outside." It's a neutral color resembling taupe, with a little grey to it. See it at Beauty.com

I was treated to a pedicure this week. Good timing because it is just about sandal season. Nine West is offering 25% off all sandals now thru April 25th. No code needed.

A good and quick read: In Memoriam: Prince - on The Window at Barneys New York 

Need an under $20 gift? Reach for this Brass Key Ring at CB2. It is one of my favorite things.

And finally, for my readers and friends observing...."Wishing you a Spring fresh with new promises and a Passover blossoming with joy Happy Passover!"

The Buffalo Sauce is made lighter with Greek Yogurt. This recipe becomes Gluten Free with GF bread crumbs instead of Panko.

This beautiful dish is made with carrots and zucchini and a machine called a "Spiralizer." You can find your own at Sur La Table. The easy recipe at...
Steamy Kitchen

What a pretty pie (tart.) The crust is gluten free, the filling is made with Greek Yogurt, and the sweetness comes from pure maple syrup and a touch of coconut sugar. Sounds fab!
