A recent business trip took me to Nashville, TN.  The company put me up in the Holiday Inn at Brentwood.  Brentwood is a suburb type area of Nashville and is relatively close to downtown.  On approach the hotel was very easy to get into, with all the enterances from the road clearly marked.  However, it only had one enterance to the lobby, and that door sometimes was a littl...

Johnsons Holiday skin body lotion - in my opinion is one of the best on the market. I first purchased this some 12 months ago and have not used any other since. It moisturises your skin for the biggest part of the day if used every morning. Your tan will gradually build up, and looks very natural and golden. Its not too dark, even though i always purchase the Normal to Darker skin range. My ski...

My family moved two years ago cross country from South Carolina to Northern California. It was a very long and scenic drive through I-40. We stopped at many hotels, but the best one by far was the Holiday Inn Express in Flagstaff, Arizona.The Holiday Inn in Flagstaff just seemed to have that perfect location to truly, truly relax in between traveling days.  It is situated off of a main exi...

Whenever I am sad or blue, I know, Harry Connick Jr, I can depend on you. Women across the globe agree, listening to Harry Connick, Jr. is like listening to the modern day version of Frank Sinatra; and we wish he'd never stop crooning. A friend of mine even went as far as taking her three year old daughter all the way from Southern NJ to New York City just so she could attend the concert Ha...

I grew up with a special called, A Charlie Brown Christmas.  To me, this was, and always will be, my favorite Christmas special.  But, the Peanuts gang had more than just a great Christmas special.  They also had a great Halloween special called It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and a Thanksgiving special called A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. All of these great specials...

I bought this 2.12 oz, two pack of hand decorated jelly and marshmallow candy suckers for my grandson for a stocking stuffer.  The package name on the hang tag was Holiday Stackers. They were about six inches long with a stick to help keep the sticky marshmallow off the little ones hands. They were only a $1.00 at the Dollar Tree store.I thought they were really cute.  One of the suck...

I collect Barbie dolls.  This 20th anniversary 2008 Holiday Barbie doll was given to me for my birthday by my husband last year. I own several Holiday Barbie dolls. Even though this doll is listed a toy ... I really don't recommend this doll be played with.

My husband and I stayed at Holiday South Hotel in Myrtle Beach several years ago. It was our first and last time staying at that hotel.  When we booked our reservations we had mistaken this hotel with another. We realized this once we arrived.  The hotel was only about five stories tall. The rooms were nothing special. We had a room with two double beds and a kitchen. Usually, in the ...

I've been using LUSH products for a little over a year. Some of the bath products have been wonderful, others have been so-so, and some have been NEVER again. The Holiday bubble bar is definitely in the wonderful category. LUSH makes solid bubble bars as opposed to liquid bubble bath in order to be more "green" and not utilize plastic bottles. This bubble bar is a seasonal winter ...

This year I decided to something a little different for our holiday photos. I decided to pass on the stressful formal holiday photo sessions and opt for a more kid-friendly idea. I thought it wouldbe fun to find some cozy matching holiday pj's and take some casual shots in the comfort of our own homw. I have a 5 year old daughter and a 4 year old son so I thought it would be a challange to find...

Can there be a more charming story of love, innocence, and living life to the fullest?  This movie is a classic in every sense of the word. Audrey Hepburn plays the spunky and beautiful Princess Anne who is feeling smothered under the weight of ettiquete, duty, and the social image she has been taught to project.  Finally, one night while on a good-will tour of Rome, she steals away f...

When I was little my grandma always used to tape holiday cartoon shows and movies so that when all us grand kids came over we had something to watch.

My grandma had all the holiday episodes on tape of Garfield, Rudolph, Claymation Christmas and a bunch of others. Since she ...
