Cooking so much at home these days and I am so excited to share an incredible deal with you today on some of my very favorite De’Longhi kitchen appliances ! Please enjoy 20% off Livenza Ovens and Air Fryers over on Amazon today through January 23rd .
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love my Rapid Crisp #AirFryer. It’s pretty fantastic! I isn’t been using it for frying all types of things from chicken and veggies, filet mignon, hush puppies, sweet potato fries, potstickers and okra just to name a few! With 4 power levels and 5 preset functions ( potatoes, pizza, roast, bake , and manual ) you can cook so many things ! ( even cookies)
Sipping coffee flipping through a beautiful book about Paris this morning ... ( I so long to be there)
Checking in on my calendar for this week too and I could not be more excited about the upcoming cultural workshop on Emily in Paris - "A little bonjour goes a long way" hosted by AF Chicago.
2021 Sam goal - Make A French Apéro a regular occurrence in my life 🇫🇷
Bonne Annèe my dears! It’s a new year and it’s #FrenchFridaysWithGFY ! And I have teamed up with Fabrique Délices to start 2021 with a special giveaway for GFY followers!
So what is a French Apéro?!
Short for l’apértif, l’apéro is a quintessentially French activity. L’apéro is the part of the day when the French stop doing what they’re doing and convene for a drink over small plates. It’s around the time of day when shadows get longer and the sun starts to set. It’s after work, it’s before dinner, before a party, before a dinner party — sometimes it is the dinner party (un apéro dinatoire).
Totally had no intention of dressing up tonight but the postman delivered these beauties from Galante.
What was a girl to do?!!
Happy NYE everyone! I hope you are safe at home!
I am never a huge fan of the whole New Year’s resolution thing, but I know I want 2021 to be a year of detox. In terms of detox, I do not mean giving up sugar or alcohol (although moderation is key), but I really learned I had a lot of things in my life that were not serving me this year! I REALIZED I WAS SPENDING TIME IN AREAS I QUITE FRANKLY HAD ZERO DESIRE TO DO.
Cozy working moments from my home office .
If you work from home full time or if you’re still navigating remote work due to the coronavirus pandemic, it can be tempting to work from bed from time to time! And who wouldn’t love to cozy up in bed while on a zoom call?
I move around all day while I work -from my bedroom to the living room to the dining room and these new personal positioning pillows from Bambooee are INCREDIBLE!

Read MoreSo diamonds really are a girl’s best friend ❤️
Adore this yellow gold green amethyst pendant necklace soooo very much! This diamond necklace is a simple yet elegant piece that I’ll definitely wear as an everyday piece. Because it’s SIMPLE, it can go with any outfit and/or be layered for more of an effect. The price of $500 is pretty decent for this particular piece! ( Lovely Cushion Cut Green Amethyst Center Stone Measuring To A Total Carat Weight Of 1.42 Carats. This Amethyst Gemstone Is Embraced With A Lovely Diamond Halo. The Halo Extends To The Top Of The Pendant Design, Measures To A Total Diamond Carat Weight Of 0.07 carats. )
Have you ever met a person who didn’t love receiving a beautiful scented candle!? Especially when said candle has the most luxe packaging, is made of clean-burning coconut + apricot wax and lasts for 60 (or more) hours.
Insert Joe + Monroe! These glam scented candles have made their way straight to my heart and I am pretty sure I cannot live without them! They check all the boxes for me. Personally, I burn candles every single day — there’s no easier way to add a sense of luxury to day-to-day life, whether it’s an invigorating scent on my desk while I work or relaxing scent while I soak all my stress away in a hot bubble bath. I never think of beautifully-scented candles as extravagances… but more as essentials! But why not just embrace the fact that they can be both, then go ahead and scoop up a holiday gift or two for yourself! If you place your orders by December 15th (soon approaching) you will have it delivered by Christmas!
Read MoreI absolutely love the seasons and I love making seasonal changes throughout my home, especially the bedrooms! Your bedroom is more than just the place where you sleep. It is the place where you work at your desk, the place where you fully relax on the weekends and the place where you plan your goals and dreams for the future. But after a while, the familiar contents of your room may start to feel boring. That is why seasonal updates are a must for me!
Winter is all about adding a cozier warmer feel to your bedroom, even if you live in a place that stays above 70 degrees year-round. ( Talking to you Oklahoma-not sure what is happening with the weather here lately)
