news, newsletter, the skimm

The world has been turned on its axis, don’t be a belle out of the loop. 

We are as busy and distracted as the next belle and often don’t have time to read the whole paper or watch a full news hour. That’s why we rely on The Skimm.

Every morning we can read the highlights of what is happening in the world. If we want to dig deeper we just tap that link to read full coverage. Written succinctly and with a toungue in cheek humor, we are officially addicted. Get your summary and be on your way. 

You may not have time for all the news, but you do have time to know the top of the news with The Skimm. 

You owe it to yourself.  It’s free, and it keeps you present. And if nothing else, it’s good cocktail fodder.

Sign up Here. You won’t regret it. 

Skimm Away belles!!!

acrylic furniture, Aquatalia boots, barbecue sauce, Bezels and Bytes, blondies, budhagirl, favorite things, Fretwork Designs, kale, okra, Perennials, salted caramel, tenderloin, The French Poodle, the skimm, tomato pie, white jeans, Wisteria

To celebrate two years of this blogging business…and nearly 400 posts (yes, we have hit quite a milestone)…we thought it would be fun to list our favorite – and most talked about – posts (’cause we are really, really sweet, and we all need gentle reminders of stuff we need to do, buy, make, read…)

In the #belleicious category:


First up…The French Poodle Vinaigrette. This salad dressing is a constant in our homes. If you haven’t tried it, what are you waiting for?


Remember our foolproof Tenderloin recipe?  You’re welcome πŸ˜‰

IMG_3907
Belles love barbecue…and grandmother’s BBQ sauce is the gold standard…

IMG_3908
This roasted okra puts a tasty spin on a veggie favorite…

IMG_3909
And in other “eat your veggies” news…you must try this tomato pie…

IMG_3910

Seems to be all about the kale lately…this kale salad is a winner every time…


And if we are gonna splurge on dessert, it better be worth it. These salted caramel blondies do not disappoint!
Some #fashionabelle reminders:

White jeans…yes, you can wear them after Labor Day!

Aquatalia boots…you won’t believe the comfort, style and practicality!  Every one is a real belle-ringer…


For the mindful belle…these BUDHAGIRL bangles totally make the cut…

For the belle-maison:

 

Remember when we suggested Perennials outdoor fabrics?  Well, they are still our go-to for beautiful, durable upholstered pieces!


We are still all about acrylic pieces to bring a little light to a room…


And this fretwork from FretworkDesigns is still one of our favorites…
And, last…but not least…for the belle-on-the-go:

We still start every day with The Skimm (and some giggles)..we encourage you to do the same


And we keep track of our running around with our FitBit Flex, made ΓΌber-stylish with our Bezels and Bytes bracelets…


And there you have ’em, belles…our faves so far!

news, the skimm, time saver

Belles are busy, easily distracted (“squirrel!”), and constantly on the go. Despite our hurried lives, it is important to still keep up-to-date with current events. But none of us has the time or inclination to read all the newsworthy items of the day while sipping our morning java…although we would surely find the time if we could only live upstairs at Downton Abbey…sigh…we could sooo hang there!!! Any way we digress …

TheSkimm is exactly what we all need.. Let TheSkimm read it all and send you the highlights. You will get all the substance without all the work. Crib notes for belles y’all !!
