A Southern Girl's Guide To All Things Beautimous...
I’m always on the search for different and useful travel bags. I’ve learned from trial and error one of the worst things is being in an airport with an overloaded bag on your shoulder.

I’m always on the lookout for travel accessories and seeing that Tumi has been my obsession for the past few years. I’m always on the hunt to see what new travel bags they have for summer. Their nylon products are durable and strong and I think this Just In Case Tote in the floral print [...]
A few years ago I was able to visit Santorini. This glorious Greek isle was the perfect back drop to a Mediterranean vacation in 2006. I am planning a Greek adventure again for 2012. I miss the fresh food, the sun, and ouzo. Santorini is known for this magnificent and vibrant blue on top of [...]

Yesterday I had a great interview with Lloyd Boston and will have that up tomorrow.
