Tell Me What’s Going On

Beaux Arts Ball 2008 (October 30)

This annual shindig began over 40 years ago as a private party for the city’s big stars to cut loose with wild-and-crazy costumes. Now, it’s an event open to anybody willing to don an outrageous costume and have an unforgettable night.

To really stand out from the crowd, you’re going to need a custom costume – but one that’s pure class. Better start with the most unique pieces you can find at Vivre.

Combine fur tops, plumed pumps, and feathery accessories for a scene-stealing outfit. Get free standard shipping on orders over $500 with Vivre coupons!

If there’s one thing that I love doing (other than writing for Fabu Daily, of course), it’s baking. It could be muffins or cookies. It doesn’t really matter. The aroma that wafts out of the oven is worth the messy clean up of battered wooden spoons and measuring cups.

So of course when I came across the latest Sur La Table offer, I just had to promote it! Use the free Sur La Table coupons by September 30 for 20% off bakeware! Think that’s great? (It is!) There’s more. Until October 31, you can also get 20% off porcelain items!

Just taking baby steps toward learning how to bake? I highly recommend The Joy of Cooking books. I’ve got the latest anniversary edition, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve consulted it for everything edible.

But even if you have the best recipes handy, it won’t help if you don’t have the right pans or trays to make all your baking dreams a reality. These are some that no baker should be without, as they are pretty standard for most recipes.

That’s How the Cookie Crumbles

When cookies come out of the oven, they need to rest and cool off for a few minutes before you put them away in an air-tight container (yeah right – more like eating them!). This allows them to stay intact so you don’t get any of that crumbly business. Try the Sur La Table Cooling Grid for the best results.

Do You Know the Muffin Man?

Ever since I learned that song in daycare, I would sing it for hours straight. At least this is what my mother says. But enough about my budding singing career! Get the Sur La Table Nonstick Muffin Pans to make blueberry muffins (Mmm…my favorite!) or large cupcakes!

1969 – Beatles Release Abbey Road - This was the eleventh album produced by the Beatles. The album before this one (Get Black) wasn’t very successful as the Beatles tried something new with their music that fans didn’t respond to very well. Abbey Road went back to songs that identified more with their original sound and vibe. Hence, this album became a HUGE hit instantly as fans felt reunited with the band. If you want to unite with the Beatles again and enjoy the good-old days, here’s what I suggest you do: Create a shrine in your home with Beatles posters, vintage tickets, old-school prints and more. Then, turn the lights low, light some incense and pop in the Abbey Road album. Sit back, close your eyes and let your memory take you back…to great times. Here’s where you’ll find all the stuff I mentioned on sale:

• Wolfgangs Vault – use Wolfgangs Vault coupons for 10% off posters, prints, vintage tickets & more
• Sony Style – use Sony Style coupons for a discount on the Abbey Road album by the Beatles

Famous Birthday

Serena Williams, 27 - How that poor little green tennis ball doesn’t catch fire when she hits it is beyond me. This World No. 1 tennis champion is definitely on her game. She’s won 18 Grand Slam titles, 2 Olympic gold medals and was also ranked 17th best player in the past 40 years by Tennis Magazine.  She is determined, focused and almost in a trance-like state when she plays as she concentrated on one thing: winning. Hit the courts today and play like Serena Williams. Feel powerful and unbeatable when using tennis gear that’s performance oriented. Head over to Dicks Sporting Goods for brand name items like lightweight tennis shoes, tennis apparel, racquets and much more.

Love Note Day – I’m such a wuss for sappy mushy love notes. They’re so thoughtful and unexpected that make you feel so important and significant to someone. I’m not just talking about love notes from your sweetheart. I’m talking about love notes from anyone – your mom, dad, best friend or sibling. When me and my best friend first started high school, we really hated it to the point where we’d come home crying after school. Our moms would write us messages on our lunch bags putting smiles on our faces. It made the day that much more bearable. I have been fortunate that the guys who approached me (which weren’t many) would write me love letters or poems…now, things are a little different. There are two things called emails and text messages that I absolutely hate! They’re soo informal. Like come on people, you can’t tell someone you love them for the first time through a text message. You surely didn’t forget how to use your hands or fingers so take my advice and jot down a little love note and slip it in your partner’s bag or jacket. Once they find it and read it, the biggest grin will appear from their face! Here’s a little help from me: Expressionery.com.
