5 Habits to Establish Now for a More Stylish 2015

What I loved about this list of how to be more stylish from Who What Wear was the advice of wearing more color!  Although I have a lot of black in my closet, I always feel good when I wear color.  How about you?

Picking Out Fabric Like a Designer

 

Are you getting ready to re-decorate?  I am still working on my redecorating project that I started in the fall.  I am looking for fabric to have roman shades made for my kitchen windows.  I found this timely article in Veranda Magazine, Picking Out Fabric like a Designer.

To me, picking out fabric is almost as bad as picking out paint.  The good thing about picking out paint is that they can’t tell you it’s discontinued!  Paint colors can be matched.  I picked out a new fabric for my kitchen windows only to find out it was no longer available.  Haven’t found one I like as much as that discontinued one so I am still on the hunt!

Worthy Reads Celebrity Home Tour

Gorgeous Sela Ward is my Celebrity pick of the week for a home tour.  Sela is a Southern Bell at heart and her Bel Air home is a bit southern, a bit artsy and very much full of personality.  Enjoy touring through 21 pictures thanks to Traditional Home.

America’s Best Road Trips

This article is perfect timing with gas prices so low.  Travel & Leisure Magazine has shared 29 Road Trips worth taking in the U.S.  I have traveled the Pacific Coast Highway both to and from LA to San Francisco.  I much prefer going north as I didn’t like being on the edge of the cliff driving south.  The scenery is breathtaking!  How many of these road trips have you been on?   Any that you highly recommend?

Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Boats

I just picked up two spaghetti squash at Costco the other day.  I think the squash tastes bests if it is roasted; however, I find it very difficult to cut.  I now have a great way to prepare it.  I prick the squash with a knife several times and cook in the microwave for approximately 5 minutes (more or less depending on the size).  The skin will soften a bit so it is easier to cut in half and scoop out the seeds.  I then place the squash cut side down on a parchment lined baking sheet and roast until caramelized.

I found this recipe for Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Boats at Skinny Taste. It looks delicious yet is diet friendly for my healthy eating resolution.  I am going to make this tonight.

Enjoy your week.  Thanks for reading.
