Saturdays At Shop This

( Via: Lilly Pulitzer )

Why, Hello there! It seems like it has been a year since I did a Saturday post. In fact, it was last year! As I sit wrapped up in my faux fur throw, and as my sister boards a plane to Florida, I am day dreaming about the beach! If you have a warm weather vacay in your future, yay for you! Inbetween my wishing and hoping for sunshine, I have had some other thoughts that are share worthy.

While the Holidays came and went, Shop This grew a little. I couldn't be happier to now be affiliated with BodenUSA - bright and fun fashions for the entire family, Butcher Box - for grass fed beef and organic free range chicken, Journelle - for stunning lingerie and loungewear,  Lilly Pulitzer - for the best of Palm Beach Prints, Paperless Post - where you create online and paper stationery, and Yummie by Heather Thomson - for stylish shapewear, loungewear, and activewear.

Beat The Cold With Hot Soup Recipes

Brrr! It is -7 in my part of the world today. Doesn't a hot  bowl of soup sound simply divine? Please start thinking out of the can.

You will find your homemade soups to be healthy and ever so much more satisfying. Get ready to be comforted.

French onion is soup is another one of my favorite things. I use to make it back in the day, until I almost killed Mr. Shop This! I thought the more the merrier when it came to butter. Not! This recipe is so pleasingly presented, it has to be fabulous!

Positive Vibes For 2017

Happy New Year! Last week, I planned a spur of the moment New Years Eve party. The party prep just took over everything. I do hope that your New Year's Eve was just what you wished it to be.  I think we all desire happiness for 2017. And if there is one thing I know for sure (to use Oprah's phrase,) is that a positive mind gives us a positive and happy life.  Joel Osteen has said: "Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude, will determine how you will live your life." And though we can't buy happiness, we can surround ourselves with positive motivation. This roundup of fun but meaningful everyday "things" are all a good start for 2017.
