Hello December! This month more than any is a time when we need to stay organized, exercise and take time for ourselves with all of the holiday festivities going on. Take a few minutes for yourself and enjoy this week’s OMG Worthy Reads.
Lady Gaga’s Malibu Estate
Lady Gaga’s home is almost void of any color except for a green guest bath. So ironic for such a colorful celebrity. Flip through 36 pictures of her very neutrally decorated Malibu home via Lonny Magazine. Spectacular setting with great views. This home also includes a wine cellar, movie theater, game room, bowling alley and exercise room. Would love your thoughts on the decorating. Please leave comments below.
10 Beauty Masks to the Rescue
This is the month when we not only over book but double book for two parties in the same night. These facial masks featured on In Style are sure to come to the rescue to help me look refreshed the next day. Now I just need to read through the descriptions and pick one that suits my skin the best.
Meredith Vieira – Wow!
I have always been fond of Meredith Vieira. Loved her personality on the Today Show. Loved her wit on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. She has faced hardships and difficulties in life but always has a smile on her face. Doesn’t she look stunning in this picture? You can read her most recent interview in More Magazine.
Kahlua Pecan Brown Sugar Baked Brie
If you need a no fuss yet elegant appetizer for a holiday get together, this one is a no brainer. Cathy at the Noble Pig Vineyard & Winery posted this Kahlua Pecan Brown Sugar Baked Brie Recipe which is sure to be a hit at any party.
I will be making this for my Bunco Christmas Party this week. The party is at my neighbor’s home so I can prepare it and it will still be warm by the time I arrive at the party.
New York Holiday Windows
In Style Magazine shared 22 holiday windows from stores including Bloomingdales, Saks, Barneys and others. The photos, I am sure, do not do them justice. I thought I would share them for those that are curious.
Release Holiday Tension with a Foam Roller
A simple foam roller can take the place of a deep massage for those achy muscles. This infographic from The Greatist shows you how you can use it. I have used one at my gym before and bought one at TJ Maxx. It’s such a simple tool that gives great results.

Hi Elaine, I love the holiday windows! I was in New York last week but somehow missed them, maybe next year. I would love to see lady GaGa’s house. The link did not work I will check back later.

Great post!
Love the windows ! I live very near to many of the stores and they are wonderful , I have been meaning to get some pics, but now I do not need to.. I am trying to stay away from those stores!!
That pecan baked Brie looks so yummy , and I agree a mask may do wonders to brighten my skin for the holidays.
Xx, Elle
