Happy New Year!



Happy New Year to you all! I hope 2010 is filled with peace, prosperity and much happiness in your world! In addition, LOTS of pink and green! :-)

Do you make resolutions? I usually do - they NEVER work out. I always resolve to:

1- lose weight
2- spend less $$
3- eat more healthy

This year, I will resolve to Lose Weight and Eat More Healthy. I've already been doing this (slight problem around the holidays though!) with some success - lost 22 pounds since September. However, I will NOT resolve to spend less $$ or stop shopping. Mainly because I know it's NOT going to happen!!!! If you've seen or heard any sneak previews of the Spring or Summer 2010 Lilly Pulitzer collections, you understand what I mean! Why set yourself up to fail????

Tomorrow I will post our "southern style" New Years dinner. That should entertain you for the first day of 2010. If you like to watch Paula Deen, you'll understand. We certainly know how to cook and eat down South!

Remember to sign up to follow and enter the Lilly Pulitzer New Year giveaway! Tell your friends to do the same - I already have the goods for a second giveaway - which will happen when I reach 100 followers!

Happy New Year - XOXO, Lori

    Happy New Year, Lori! I also hit a wall with weight loss in December but am now going to get back on track. I turn 35 this July and need to do this to be truly content. I've loved reading your blog the last few weeks and I look forward to your 2010 posts.

My Visit With Caroline Grace Jewelry

Image
Happy Tuesday, Shopaholics! Thanks so much for all your kind words and comments after my last blog post. Admittedly I was feeling a wee bit sorry for myself and a little unloved. You know I'm not normally one to be "down" on anything - least of all myself! Your support means the world to me, and I really appreciate you all caring about my life - even when I'm not shopping. LOL Do you remember me being excited about getting tickets to the Bon Jovi concert here at the beach? I managed to talk my friend Lucy over at Caroline Grace Jewelry into coming down for the concert and to spend the weekend.  It was the first time we'd met in person, although we were already big buddies on Twitter, Facebook, etc. DH was calling her a "computer friend"; so thankfully she came down and proved to him she was a "real friend". We started the weekend by getting fresh pedicures on Friday morning: Then, we went down to the public beach for the concert. We tai

Birthday Celebration: Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway from The Pink Pelican

Image
Today I will celebrate my birthday. I'm a little bit sad to report, the DH is out of town and won't be able to come home for the festivities. Not that it's a big deal or anything (not a milestone birthday or anything), but I am a LEO and y'all know it's true - Leos love their birthday. I'm no exception! Tonight I will celebrate with my sister and BFF by going out to dinner, and tomorrow with birthday cake and gifts with my parents, nephews and friends. I'm so thankful for it all, but I'm going to miss my sweetie. :-(  My friends at The Pink Pelican in Huntsville have generously offered a giveaway to commemorate the day!  Most of you know, they are one of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer Via shops and I buy lots of my Lilly from Angie and The Pelican Crew! I love knowing that I am supporting a small, female owned business. In today's economy, I think that is very important. If you are considering any purchases from the new Lilly Pulitzer Fall 2011 line

Testing The Waters

Image
***Y'all who were reading before - you know I am HONEST to a fault. This post contains my honest feelings and is not censored. If you came here today to get cheered up or motivated, I apologize in advance. You might want to tune in another day!*** A big hello to you all! Wow - I can't believe it has been four years since I was involved in blogging. I have often wondered "is it time to revive the blog" over this time...and after some encouragement from long time readers and friends, I have decided to test the waters!  It feels so strange - I don't even know if folks read blogs anymore! I know that most blogging happens on platforms such as Instagram, which in my mind is for pictures more than content. And heck let's face it, most days I don't even put on makeup or fix my hair, so that will NOT work for this chick. HA! If you're still around and want to read my ramblings, this is the place for you. 😀 The last time I blogged I was so focused on
