The Talk

Today I am so excited to share a favorite talk show of mine.  It's called "The Talk".  I discovered it quite by accident a couple of months ago while I was getting my nails done at the nail salon and The Talk was on the TV.  I had never seen it before and wasn't expecting much.  I was so wrong.  In no time at all I was laughing so hard...along with everyone else in the salon.  I'm talking a good belly laugh.  The first thing I did when I got home was to put it to record on the DVR.  I watch it every single day.  I love it because they make me laugh.

The Talk features a panel of well known news and entertainment personalities that discuss current events, pop culture, contemporary issues, family, celebrity and the trending topics of the day.  The hosts are Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne, Sheryl Underwood and Aisha Tyler.  They swap stories, challenge each other on issues and engage the studio audience and viewers at home about events in the headlines and their own homes.  Lots of times they say things you are already thinking.

What I'm Loving Lately

As I write this post the song that comes to mind is "Girl Crush" by Little Big Town.

I am crushing on these LED Candle sets with daily timers.  Like really hard.  I have been admiring them for over a year now and would not pay the price at Pottery Barn, Frontgate, etc.  Just couldn't do it.  Wouldn't do it.

If you know me you know that I LOVE candles.  I've shared this with you here, here, here and here for just a few!

I bought my first set of LED candles a couple of months ago at Palais Royal.  It was a set of five candles in various sizes for $50.  I bought them for $13.00.  SCORE!!!  Be sure and look for a coupon before you purchase them.

I know the hubs thought I would never shut up about it.  The grandkids love them.  They like anticipating when they are going to come on and when they will go out.  They all come on within minutes of each other and stay on for four hours.  They think it's magic.  :)  So do I!  Ha ha!

These little jewels allow me to place them high up in areas I can't burn a real candle.

I placed one in the large glass globe on the coffee table in the family room.  The three candlesticks you see in the background are LED candles.  I scored those bad boys today at Palais Royal.  They come in a set of two for $20 and I paid $8.99.  And yes, I bought two of them.  :)  I just need to put the batteries in them.

I love candles, low lighting, and Christmas lights.  I love the ambiance it creates.  So warm, cozy and relaxing.  Makes my heart sing.  For real.

Before long you will find them throughout our home.

On another day I will to do a post on all the times I have created messes with real candles.  It is a wonder the hubs allows me to have them in the house.  Seriously.  And I am a careful candle burner.

I'd love to hear if there is anything you are "crushing on" lately.  Or am I the only one crazy 'round here?

Take care,

Debbie

Planning for 2016

Last year I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried a new planner.  I told you about it here.  I went with an inkWELL Press planner for women.  It was really nice.  The quality was awesome.  There was nothing wrong with the planner.  It was all me.

So this year I went back to my old favorite.  It is the FranklinCovey "her Point of View" classic planner.  I already had the leather binder so all I needed was the refill calendar for 2016 and a new address and phone number section.

Here are my reasons for going back to the "oldie but goodie".  I love the fact that this planner is zipped up and nothing can slip out.  I was always concerned that something was going to fall out of my old planner.

I like the fact that I can remove the pages, write on them and reinsert them.

I love the quotes for each week.  The quote for this week is

"I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can"

by Lucille Ball.

This, my friend, is what I missed the most.  The address and phone section.  My old planner did not have this section.  I did not realize how much I used the info in here.  Almost daily.

I can't tell you how many times my heart skipped a beat because I thought I had misplaced my old section since it was separate from my planner.

I am so happy to have them both in the same place.

Do you have something you have used for years that you are not willing to change?  Something that works just as you need it to?  If so, I'd love to hear your stories.   

Here's to a wonderful new year.  Come on 2016!!!

Wishing you all the best,
