Beautiful Beauty: Tammy Fender
Recently a very discerning friend suggested that I try a beauty product by Tammy Fender called “Intensive Repair Balm.” I am deeply appreciative of beauty product recommendations from trusted friends because I am utterly clueless when it comes to anything beauty related. What I know for sure, however, is that the products that I use… Continue reading Beautiful Beauty: Tammy Fender
Juicing Craze
As you can tell by now, I am a little cuckoo about juicing, and why not? It’s a great way to achieve and maintain your health and vitality! I’ve been drinking a whole lot of juice this weekend and thought it might be helpful to provide you with a quick round-up of all my juicing… Continue reading Juicing Craze
Fantastic Flowers – Jim Carrey
As the country is welcoming both an early spring and the lovely flowers that come with it, I am reminded by the special influence of flowers in my life. I hope that you feel their Silver Linings as much as I do! Happy Spring!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! – Irish Blessings
Saturday Sweeps: St. Patrick's Day!
Being of Irish heritage, I inherently loooooove St. Patrick’s Day. Going to school at Saint Mary’s College at Notre Dame, I learned (from the best!) how to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day.

On her blog, I found this delish Puttanesca Sauce, which happens to be her go-to dinner when she is looking for something vegetarian. Can I just say: Wowsy. Super good.… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: Puttanesca Sauce
Adriane's Silver Linings
I always figured that I would fight cancer at some point in my life. I just didn’t fiure that I would be 43 years old when it happened! I tell people that I did all of the “right” things that the experts tell us to do. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I eat lots… Continue reading Adriane's Silver Linings
Wendy's Silver Linings
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2009 and decided to do chemo before surgery as a way to shrink the tumor in the hope of having a lumpectomy. I had one week to get things in order before chemo started and I was “nesting”–stocking up on toilet paper and other goods my husband… Continue reading Wendy's Silver Linings
