Summer's main attraction is here! Who has plans for the Fourth of July? I think it will rain all weekend here but it'll be bright and sunny somewhere. So who's barbecuing, who's boiling seafood and who's frying up some fish?
Try these waist friendly desserts to top off all of that cookout goodness that you probably won't be able to resist. Volunteer to bring this to the party that way you KNOW you'll have a healthy option. ENJOY!

Whether money is tight, the weather is icky, or you're tired of running into the usual suspects, the incentive to go out and party can quickly disappear. Why not save that $12 you're about to put down on a single cocktail and invite your girlfriends over for an intimate, but no less fun, evening? We know, the thought of being home on a Saturday night might be yawn inducing, but the minute you're surrounded by your girls, your mood will lighten.
Think about it: You can swap your crippling heels for comfy flats, and have a real conversation without straining your voice over the loud music. Here are some suggestions for a girls night in. And stick to the script -- no men allowed...

Schick Intuition Plus Razor
Ok so now that summer is officially here I can no longer procrastinate when it comes to shaving my legs. It will be 90 plus degrees the rest of the week so it’s just too darn hot to rock pants every day. Last night while I was in Target I ran across the Schick Intuition razor with the moisture bar attached, doing away with the need for shaving cream. I must say I loved using this product. The fact that I was able to skip a step and just run the razor over my legs was pure heaven.
There have been many times when I’ve gotten in the shower prepared to shave my legs and just as soon as I’m soaking wet I realize I left the shaving cream or the new razor head on the other side of the bathroom. I won’t have to worry about that happening anymore. Only one down side to using this so far, it’s easy to miss a spot on your legs. The razor doesn’t provide much lather so it’s kind of difficult to see what hasn’t been shaved.
So for that reason I rate it at a B+. Rating might go up the more I use it… especially when I travel. The all-in-one quality will cut down on packing so many toiletries :)

My Passion
Posts are slow this week I'm just going through another one of my "what do I want to do with my life' spells. Sunday night I actually quit my job, well at least in my head for like a split second. Then the thought of my bills and quality of life that I would like to maintain, if not increase, snapped me back to reality.
Why is it so difficult to find what I'm passionate about? The love of my parents, sisters and life experiences has given me a great deal of self confidence to where I truly believe I can do anything. Yet strangely that is whats hold me up, the fact that I know I have so many choices. One minute I'm contemplating my own restaurant the next minute I'm designing home goods.
Recently I made it a goal to get involved in a non-profit as a volunteer, try my hand at fundraising. Never liked fundraising, sucked at selling raffle tickets, too busy sneaking the World Finest chocolate covered almonds to make a good profit, and why would i try to sell someone $10 cookie dough? Well lately in an effort to find my passion I'm all about trying something new. What non-profit? who knows.... any suggestions?
Viva Laverne would like to wish all the fathers out there a happy father's day. Keep doing a great job at raising your children. A Father's love is so precious and like no other.
Would you love it so much it's a definite buy or would you leave it right there on the shelf for the next sucker?
Fendi Plexi Clutch - $3,600 (yes you read that right!)
So, would you Love it or Leave it?
