Handy Dandy: How to 'Fix' Burnt Rice








Ended up with burnt rice?

Just place a slice of bread over the burnt areas for 5-10 minutes -
the bread will draw out the burnt flavor from the rice making it good as new...almost! ;)

I have been seeing the color peach everywhere lately...and not just in my fruit basket.
It's a great color for summer & comes in a variety of hues from pastel to bright.

Here are some peachy keen things to add to your closet this summer!

























How do you feel about peach in your closet?

Bring on the Heat!



For those of you who have been following the NBA's Eastern Conference games, you knew the big game was this past weekend - the Boston Celtics versus the Miami Heat. I did not watch a single game until this one (if my hubby isn't home watching it, why would I watch it voluntarily?!) but I had all intentions to cheer on the home team (being a NY girl, it's kinda a rule to be anti-Boston teams). Anyways, we dressed in our Heat colors and headed to church first before going to a friend's house to watch the game.




I think this picture totally shows how opposite we really are! It's too funny! My Hubs wanted to be all decked out for the game while I still wanted to be dressed nicely for church. We had such a good kick out of our ideas for church/game appropriate dress.
They do say opposites attract, right?




Our local grocery store even had cupcakes with Heat colors!



Did you watch the game?
Were you cheering for Boston or Miami?

Cork It



As of late, I am seeing more and more shoes made of cork. I think the cork material paired with a nude/flesh color makes a good alternative to a basic, nude pump. I just don't know if I love it or hate yet. Sometimes I think they are super cute & other times, I think to pass on them since they aren't really more special than my basic, nude pumps! ;)














I think the styles offered by Stuart Weitzman & KORS Michael Kors are my favorites!



How do you feel about the cork trend?
