Know your guests – Food Allergies

20 Aug

 

Laughs aside its a very serious matter these days as people have more allergies than ever before. The most common food allergies in adults are shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and eggs, and the most common food allergies in children are milk, eggs, peanuts, and tree nuts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_allergy

I know people always find it weird that I do this, but whenever we are hosting people over for the weekend or for dinner. I always ask if they have any allergies, because I would hate to add peanut oil and the person go into anaphylactic shock or hives from something Ive cooked for them.

So don’t be afraid and ask your guests about food allergies and if your having a big soiree, make sure you know your ingredients or simply put it on blank place card that you can get at an AC Moore or Michael’s for under $3.00.

Purse Organzier – Ready Made or DIY

1 Aug

Purse Organizers are a great way for everyday women to have their basics and be able to switch handbags to match their outfits. Every time I change handbags it’s a process to make sure I can fit everything I had in my previous bag and also make sure to have all my necessary items. But almost every time I need something the most, it happens to be missing because I switched handbags! So I went looking for something that wasn’t bulky and practical to help transfer to any bag with my basics.

To the rescue is this wonderful website called Purseket.com, they were featured on Oprah’s O Magazine and the Today Show and saw that it had the best amount of options for a reasonable price. I also have found a great instructional piece for those who’d rather make their own version.
