Counting My Blessings On Thanksgiving Day



Happy Thanksgiving, Shopaholics! On this day most of us are celebrating the holiday with our family and friends. Activities include: eating more than we should, having more than one dessert, partaking in a little bit of wine, taking a late afternoon nap, watching a football game (Go Cowboys!).

What are you thankful for this year? Of course I am most thankful for my wonderful DH, family and friends - as you would expect me to say. However, I am also thankful for the following...

My health

No "visible oil" on our beaches - note I said "visible" because it's still there.

The fact that I can wear my Lilly Pulitzer collection all year!

Not leaving on a jet plane every Monday and Friday to make a living, for a company who never appreciated it anyway...

Living At The Beach

Empty laundry baskets

Kiehl's hair straightener and my BaByliss Flat iron - those two products changed my life!

Tide Pride Season Tickets (that's Alabama football, for my out of state readers)

No traffic

Phillip Drummond - the only stylist in a 500 mile radius who can handle my hair, and the only one who will be allowed to try.

Publix Supermarket

The smell of a clean house and no clutter on my kitchen countertops

Last but certainly not least, I'm thankful for everyone in this blogging community - my readers, fellow bloggers, and vendors - all of you are the reason I keep writing! Because of this blog, I've met so many lovely people I am proud to call friends.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and if you are traveling, be safe!

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...

Tracy Negoshian: Two Holiday Giveaways & Shopaholic Discount

Image
***Just in time to celebrate the holiday season, Shopaholic In Alabama has partnered with favorite brands and designers to bring you a series of festive giveaways! In addition to giveaways, there will be Shopaholic Special discounts to help with your holiday shopping! Please join me today in welcoming The Tracy Negoshian!*** You have probably noticed from previous posts that Tracy Negoshian is quickly becoming one of my favorite designers. During recent Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, I ordered so many new dresses and tunics, it was like an early Christmas present when they all arrived.  Tracy's designs are a favorite of preppy girls everywhere. They are easy to wear - the comfy jersey fabric is flowy, but somehow fitted just enough to be feminine. Many of the items I ordered work for all seasons here at the beach. Just last week, I wore the Sheada Tunic Dress is Navy Life Preserver to a casual holiday gathering. Say "hi" to Phillip and Angie - these two ke...
