Party Like it's $19.99...Fast and Easy New Year’s Eve Party - DailyCandy

So I tried to share today's posting of Daily Candy Los Angeles, but for some reason, the link posted isn't quite pulling up the article...so back to the good old fashioned way!

"Count down to a very good time.

10. Assemble all elements of this miraculous hangover cure.
You’re gonna need it.

9. Turn leftover wrapping paper and tape into a pile of festive toppers.

8. Hit up the Joan’s on Third freezer for mini meat pies and tiny cheese puffs and Trader Joe’s for buckets of meringues, big and small.

7. Put your hands together and make some noisemakers.

6. Give three cheers for Empire City punch, cinnamon caipirinhas, and the Cuzco fizz.

5. Consult the white porcelain god of a different kind: Fill the tub with water and fortune-telling fish.

4. To really let your hair down, you’ve got to put it up.

3. Cue the music (hello, Miami, Chicago, SF, Dallas, Philadelphia, and London megamixes).

2. Show off your new moves.

1. Happy New Year!"

With the whole Martinelli's craze, many of you can probably skip past #10, however I found this article to be quite fun & creative...even for those party-poopers who've decided to bring the New Year in solo. So now I'm off to look for some unused wrapping paper, for some cute party-popper hats for tonight's festivities!

One that I'll add to Daily Candy's list will be to squeeze in some "me" time today by visiting a favorite nature-spot (which in my case would be the beach) to reflect on '08, let go of the bad, knowing that tomorrow I can start anew! And it can be anything you want it to be, why? Because it's YOUR life!!! Whether it's ditching a toxic relationship, making more time for God, eating better, being on time, exercising, being kinder, saying no, taking better care of yourself, watching less T.V. or spending more time with family, say goodbye to the old you, and put on the new! Here's a great blog to help with your new goals (notice I didn't say resolution?). Take charge of your life...and get to it!

Until my next meal-centered story, try to bring in the New Year with the ones you love...oh and if you're gonna drink, please don't drive!!! Feliz Ano Nuevo!!!

Bon Appetit!

A Girl's Best Friend...

Trader Joe's! Next best thing to Diamonds--in my book, anyways. I have to say I was rather disappointed in how quick I fell off the wagon with my gun-ho approach to a new me at 40! Oddly enough, I woke up yesterday morning, took my friend's kids to school, and then off to Tom's #4 we went. For one, it is amazing to me how many Tom's there are. Are they all just one big chain? One thing they have in common--the yummiest, fattening foods one can ever find! You can smell the grease as you are exiting the ramp, readying to turn onto their street (which in this case would be Orangethorpe). I have to say though, I was encouraged as an ex emailed me after reading Sunday's blog forwarding me weight-loss tips via an email article entitled, "A Breakfast Favorite that Blasts Fat?" Wow, so it's come to this. Truly, the man is a gem and is as sincere as he is disciplined. He, in fact, has got to be one of the most disciplined people I know (especially when it come...

Tea for Two...

So yesterday proved to be the perfect day for two friends to depart from O.C. into historic Pasadena. Granted it's only 30 minutes away or so, it was sad to think I rarely visit the home to the Bruins' cleats due to my newly fitted O.C. leash. Although we rarely visit, it was the perfect day, indeed. There was my sweet friend, Francesca, our English Tea treats and rain that sang for the couple of hours we caught up over Peach-Apricot and Ginger Peach teas. Interestingly enough, we realized that the last time we had tea together was at a four-star hotel in Paris, France almost five years ago...yikes! Regardless of where we last had tea, we were having tea yesterday, where every table of friends seemed to be enjoying conversations with sounds of a flowing fountain and elegant piano melodies echoing behind. It seems like only recently I've heard quite a few ladies inquire about the afternoon-teas I've attended, as they've never been. (At least it's not someone as...
