Tangerine Tango has arrived! It is the Pantone Color of 2012 and ever since they announced it in December, I have been captivated by this color. I choose to wear orange sparingly, but this shade is punched up with red and is so vibrant and full of energy, it’s like a Vitamin B-12 shot for [...]

Determined to re-write my history of procrastinating on Christmas shopping, last Sunday I found myself wandering aimlessly in the mall desperately looking for Christmas gift inspiration. Fail. There’s got to be an easier way! Instead of shopping on-line or taking advantage of Small Business Saturday deals, I waited and went to the mall. It’s the [...]

As the temps begin to cool and daylight begins its slow retreat, I look back wistfully on a great summer which included 5 beautiful days on this beach in Maui!
