Just saw this LOVELY purple coach bag at the Coach Store in my local mall.  It retails $358 it is the Madison dotted op art large sophia satchel. It is quite spacious for all your necessities.  It does come in a smaller size for just a night out on the town, the Madison wristlet which retails for $98.  Then of course there is the Madison dotted op art checkbook wallet which retails at $228.  So Brave the mall, or check them out online, Happy Shopping!

Those of you with a Shabby Chic kinda style will TOTALLY love these letter trays I found at the Container Store, they are 12.99 ea, plus shipping, however if you sign up for email updates, you can snag some really good coupons. I scored a 20% and free shipping.  They look quite nice on my desk. They are extremely sturdy metal, and as seen in the picture, stackable.

Now whether you are Irish or not, there is no denying that Bailey’s Irish Cream is quite a tasty treat.  My favorite being a little shot in my hot cocoa, topped with whip cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and it will definitely warm you up thru the winter.  However what to do with those that don’t drink, or for those occasional times when you don’t want the heavy alcohol?  Well no you can get that Irish creamy taste in your hot cocoa or coffee or whatever you like it in, with out the extra alcohol punch.  And i must say it is just as good, and i’m drinking it right now! Yummy

Anybody else out there absolutely LOVE the Dublin Mudslide?  Well I LOVE it, but have not been able to find it anywhere.  Normally that would not be a anything more then a minor annoyance to someone, unless that someone is female and PMS’ing!!!

So I started looking around to try and find something else to fill the void, when I came across MUDPIE.  When I look at the ingredients I am happy and aggravated at the same time.  Happy because its the same ingredients of my beloved Dublin Mudslide, however, aggravated I had to go thru this frustration, and several days without my favorite ice cream all because they decided they needed to change the name.   GRRRRRRRR

Ok so what makes a June Cleaver wife?  I would have to say I think I fit the bill today.  Started the morning off with the laundry, mopping, clean up of everybody’s junk, played doll house and read stories to my daughter, did finishing touches on Xmas decorating, let the guys come over “for guys day”, to play Xbox all afternoon, baked them brownies, then made dinner, all while reaching 3 new levels on my Worgen from World of Warcraft.

Now doing some reading, and posting. I must say I think I’ve done a hell of a job

‘Tis the season, for all the holiday traveling.  What better for that purple addict, then PURPLE luggage.  Found this beautiful piece at Khols.It’s by Apt 9, and it comes in several different sizes depending on your needs, the 25″ is on sale for $99.99 & right now for every $50 you spend you get Khols cash.  This particular piece is expandable, and has several pockets.  The inline skate wheels give it  a smooth feel with the retractable aluminum handle. The material is polyester, and comes with a manufacturer’s 10-year limited warranty.  I love the geometric pattern on it, makes it stand out.

Found this in Target the other day and as you can see it’s selling for $26.99.  Its Brita’s Grand Violet large capacity pitcher.  It holds 10 (8oz glasses), and has an electronic filter change indicator.  Other design features include comfort grip handle, and flip lid for easy refilling.  It does come in other colors but if you’re reading this, than purple is clearly the only color choice  hahaha

Also as per Shelley P at Brita: “Our products do not contain bisphenol A and are all tested by the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) for safety. The pitcher lids and filter housings are made of polypropylene plastic and the reservoirs and pitchers are made from either NAS (a styrene based plastic) or SAN (Styrene Acrylonitrile). The soft-touch handles are made from an elastomer called Santoprene. Unfortunately, the pitcher materials are not recyclable and therefore do not have a plastic recycling number.”

Recently I was googling, trying to find some informative sites on journaling and writing to try and help me with my blog, when I came across this awesome website called www.journalingsaves.com .  I am totally addicted!  First I love how she writes, so I enjoy reading her stuff, she writes the way I try to (or hope that i do) which is that  you are standing in front of me and we are having a conversation, as opposed to lecturing.

I also did buy her ebook 30 Days to a Journaling Life which I have been doing, as well as signing up for the prompts to write. I was thinking about putting my daily recordings in here, still debating. She does request you “write” it all out to get the flow going.

So if you are stumped, or just starting out, I definitely recommend you check her out and try some of the assignments its fun, and can be a real good outlet to help alleviate stress.  It really is helping with my personal road blocks.  Also she is talking about putting together some online courses as well.

I recently added this lovely Relic® Women’s Purple Dial Stainless Steel Watch to my collection.  I was so excited to find my favorite brand dress watch came in my favorite color as well WIN WIN.

The only thing I miss between my purple Ironman watch and this is the ability to see the time in the dark, but hey that’s what the iPhone under my pillow is for right?

I don’t think anybody needs me to talk this watch up, Relic’s name alone says it all, and now in purple YAY!

Cinderella knew what she was talking about, Never Stop Dreaming…

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you’re fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true
