What would happen if we started being honest with ourselves about what we really want?
What if we started being ruthlessly real? [Read more...]
Best Christmas Gift Ideas & Deals for Men
December 7, 2011 By
Time to shop for the men and boys in our lives. Here’s my top deal picks for Christmas gifts for those special guys! {Most would also make great gifts for women and girls too!}.
I never pay shipping, I get my ordered goods in 2 days and I do NOT pay for an Amazon Prime plan to get that 2 day shipping! (Read this previous post about how to make that happen).
Read my post yesterday about my rave over the Kindle Fire!
Tomorrow I’ll be sharing my top picks for gifts and deals for toddlers!
I’m giving a little head start with the PictureMe Books offer by York Photo. I use York Photo for many of my 4×6 prints and they never let me down. They have this 2 for 1 special on right now which would make the ultimate Christmas gift for Grandma and Grandpa!
Best Christmas Gift Ideas & Deals for Women
December 6, 2011 By
Today kicks off my annual ten days of Christmas deals and I’m starting with gift ideas for women. As many of you know, I buy everything from cereal, diapers and apparel to electronics, books and nutritional supplements on Amazon. Just ask my UPS driver, he’ll tell you all about how he comes to my house more than anybody else!
I never pay shipping, I get my ordered goods in 2 days and I do NOT pay for an Amazon Prime plan to get that 2 day shipping! (Read this previous post about how to make that happen).
You can’t go wrong with a little inspirational gift and these top the charts! Everyone loves quotes. I tweet hundreds of quotes and these are some of the ones that get retweeted and commented on most. They’d be well received in a pretty Christmas gift bag with some color coordinated tissue (simple as that!).
Note: They are currently on sale and some are selling out quick. These ones were in stock at time of writing this: [Read more...]

Happy Silver Charms & Treasures Anniversary!
February 2, 2011 By
Today was my third anniversary. My husband’s en route home and I was feeling a little bluesy that we weren’t together today. Nothing that a little bling, bling can’t cure! After all, we can always change the date and go out on a little date after he gets back!
Today at Posh, I found this amazing, gorgeous, crazy cool brushed silver necklace. My eyes nearly popped out of my head and I almost tripped over myself getting to it! My husband knows that I drool over silver jewelry so it was only appropriate that I bite the bullet and get this one as an anniversary gift! (At least that’s what I’d convinced myself of!).
Ohhh… thank you babe! You couldn’t have picked a more loved gift!
The same jewelry dealer at Posh had this necklace and earring set there. The prices are seriously outrageous (in an awesome way!) so guess what else is new in my jewelry collection?! Stunning!
All in all, I came home with the two jewelry sets and two pairs of adorable shoes for less than what I can easily spend on skinny vanilla lattes in less than a month! I loooove Posh! It’s my favorite high end women’s consignment boutique. My closet is starting to look fabulous again and I can still afford my skinny vanilla lattes thanks to Posh of Fleming Island!
Hear Me Roar! The New Chair…
January 4, 2011 By
Ohhhh… MEEEOW! My new chair arrived today. I just got it put together (I am such a handy kinda girl!) and I am loving it… looooving it! Some of the prints out there are so tacky or the fabric is el cheapo. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box to find this precious gem! It’s gorgeous and makes a terrific addition and accent piece for my relaxation room. I love to sit here at night and read. Peace and love is oozing from the room, especially now!
Another 4 am Words with Friends morning
December 1, 2010 By
I love how my scrabble board turned out. Vintage cool, huh?!
I’m sitting in bed playing Words with Friends on my iPhone and yes, it’s 4 am… uh huh, pathetic. I hear ya! My husband’s away and well, what else is a girl to do at 4 am but sharpen up her language skills?! (Get your mind out of there!).
This game is addictive. It’s like Scrabble and you can play against friends… or strangers! Hey, keep your thoughts to yourself. Yes, I play with strangers! :-)
Go ahead, hit me up and challenge me. I’m Kokabella on Words with Friends.
