Chocolate Heaven

SP Bragg — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 11:18:02 +0000

As you have probably gathered by now… I have this thing about chocolate. I don’t care if you eat it, drink it or bathe in it… I love it all.

Details: A blend of dark chocolate and warm embracing essential oils, gently submerge you into chocolate heaven.

*What did I tell you. Does it get any better than this?? I was just thinking that this would be the perfect way to end Christmas night!

Stuffing Those Stockings… Before Christmas Eve

SP Bragg — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 19:33:58 +0000

Jamie does ALL OF HIS CHRISTMAS SHOPPING on Christmas Eve. I don’t know how he does it, but for those of you who want to get started a little early, at least on the stocking stuffers, I did a little rooting around to seem what I could find and every single one of them have come in under the $10.00 mark. One, come to think of it is a lowly $1.99! You don’t find prices like that very often anymore.

Wal-Mart will cut prices every week until Christmas

SP Bragg — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 12:17:48 +0000

Now that is something that is going to help a lot of people with their Christmas shopping this year. I wonder if they will have the Christmas tree I have been searching for the past few years. My last one literally wore out, but I definitely got my money’s worth! Now I want a gorgeous black tree that I saw a few years ago while on vacation in England. That’s the color I want. It looked absolutely fabulous!

Enchante 3 Piece Cosmetic Bag from Bealls

SP Bragg — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 14:46:06 +0000

I guess it really doesn’t matter what your cosmetic bags look like, but I have to admit… the fact that this has a Christmasy feel to it is appealing to me. I guess it’s true… I’m definitely a Christmas junkie and I’m looking forward to this year’s celebrations as well. I’m also thinking that this would make for a great Christmas gift. Just how many Christmas presents can you find these days priced under $20.00 that aren’t for the ten year old crowd. Actually, even that is getting difficult these days.

As I mentioned above, this set comes with three different sizes, so for any trip, one of them is going to be just right. And to make it even better… they all come tied up with a Christmasy ribbon. And oh yes, I forgot… I’m thinking that if you were giving this as a gift, it might be nice to treat it like the old handbag tradition where you never give the handbag empty. Instead of a coin, I would slip in a lipbalm to carry on the old tradition lol.

Halloween a Yes… Christmas, not so much

SP Bragg — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 13:57:54 +0000

Knowing just how bad the economy is these days, people are doing everything they can think of to put it all aside for at least one night… and that night would be Halloween. I guess there is something in getting dressed up and pretending to be someone else for at least a few hours, or by the look of my street, for the entire month. People are decorating their homes big time in our neighborhood and the stores are certainly not cutting back on the candy that people will be handing out at the end of the month.

As far as costumes go, have you noticed that the stores are FULL of adult costumes… something unheard of when I was a kid, but from experience, pubs are busier than ever at or near Halloween and everyone comes in costume. It’s a night where there is a smile on everyone’s face and worries about the economy are left at home for the evening.

Christmas will not be as lucky, retailers fear. From what I have been reading the last few months, this seems to be the area where people are cutting back. Gift giving will not be what it once was and Christmas this year just might be more like Christmases of long ago where family and friends were what really mattered.

Purse Organizer – Park-a-Purse – (Blue)

SP Bragg — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 15:00:37 +0000

The Park-A-Purse organizer is just what you need to keep your purses off the closet floor and easily accessible to you! This purse organizer has ten differently sized cubbies so you can organize all of your purses and handbags, small and large, in one neat unit. Search no more for your favorite purse – now you can keep them all in plain view. This unit is made of heavy duty cardboard with a beautifully designed blue cover. Makes a great shoe cubby also!

I have to admit, I do get rather messy. It is just so much easier to toss them onto the closest hook or the top of the hall closet and that means you never know where you last stashed it.

18oz Apple Cinnamon Candle

SP Bragg — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 16:23:41 +0000

Just something old fashioned and Christmasy about this candle… reminds me of what you might have found in a home about 100 years ago! I just love the smell of Christmas!
