don’t waffle on this one, belles…

amazon, Cuisinart, griddle, panini, waffle

While some may “waffle” over giving gifts with cords (admittedly not the sexiest kinda gift), this could be a nice addition to the loot on Christmas morning (and will come in handy when the crowd gets hungry)


One belle-brother had been goin’ on & on about this little gadget at the Thanksgiving table (more like dropping hints as his birthday and Christmas were rapidly approaching).  With two sets of dishwasher-safe plates (one for waffles, and one reversible one for paninis/pressed sandwiches) this seemed to be the answer to his breakfast-makin’ prayers.

Taking the hints, this particular belle hit up Amazon before the dishes were cleared…and the gift was on its way.  That’s one extra-special-belle sister, huh?

Get one (or more) here for anyone you think might dig it!

PJ perk for belles of all ages!!

amazon, loungewear, nightgowns, pajamas, pj harlow, robes

One teen belle just had her 20th birthday. She’s a Thanksgiving baby and we will always be grateful and thankful for this lovely young lady. She kindly and thoughtfully produced a birthday gift list which is ever-so-helpful.  After perusing it, we noticed a pajama line that we have purchased for ourselves and our moms. With Christmas around the corner, how wonderful to find a gift that will please all belles. 

Soft, silky, comfortable and washer friendly. A worthy belle gift!!! 


Swing top.                                                                           Robe

Lounge pants.                                                     Lounge shorts


Tank top

Nightgown

Fair warning…don’t accidentally throw in your P.J.Harlow pajamas into the wash with the towels one might have been bleaching. Ours now look tie dyed but we are still sporting them as they haven’t lost their comfort factor! 

Happy shopping!

a paddle of a perk…

aveda, nordstrom, paddle brush

We belles are very particular about our hair (in case you haven’t noticed). We research every product, treatment, and process done to our tresses. Hair appointments are always made in advance and nothing comes between us and those appointments. One of us even declined an invitation to the Masters in order to keep that all-important date with our hairdresser…yes, you read that correctly!

That being said, we when we promote a hair product, you best believe we aren’t exaggerating! 

Without further ado…our new favorite paddle brush…


by Aveda…available at Nordstrom

A good hair day for us is a good day for all involved…bad hair day, we’ll watch out, world!  You NEED this, belles!
