Fashionable Food: PAULETTE MACARONS

'Tis the season for giving - especially to those that gave to you in some way or another over the year. In particular; teachers, employees, faithful customers & clients, nannies, party hostesses. An unexpected gesture of recognition around the holidays is always a touching way to show your appreciation.

If you're sick of giving the same ol' box of chocolates or items that will absentmindedly get shoved into the desk drawer, I suggest you look into these fashionable foods - Paulette Macarons. My girlfriend, Lori, was given a box of 24 as a gift recently. Of course she busted them out when the pregnant lady came to visit. Before even diving into one, I inspected the stylish packaging. It was love at first sight. Their rainbow array of colorful cookies are made so perfectly pretty and the varying list of flavors made for a fun conversation piece. After much talk and research on the price (a little steep at $1.60/cookie), we nibbled away. Ohhhhhh my goodness, this little cookie packs a macho 1-2 punch. The outside was crispy and crunchy & the inside delicately chewy and dense. They melt in your mouth with just the right amount of sweetness and texture the way a good mararon should. So worth every penny!
If you want to give a gift that will get everyone oohing and ahhing, order some Paulette Macarons. In addition to holiday gifts, these are great for any occasion, any time of the year. The Mini-Boxes would make for an adorable hostess gift at a baby shower or as an unforgettable wedding favor!

Tame the Tum: Spare tire or stress bulge?

For many women, getting bikini ready means tackling one dreaded area in particular — our tummies. Most of us still think the best way to achieve a washboard stomach is by doing hundreds of sit-ups. Not so, says A-list trainer and body guru James Duigan. James, who sculpts supermodels Elle Macpherson and Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley among others, insists there is no ‘one size fits all’ method for getting a flat belly. Instead, he’s identified five key ‘tummy types,’ all of which require a different approach to achieve successful toning. Once you figure out your tummy type (mine is the STRESS BELLY) thanks to the UK Daily Mail , you'll be on your way to getting the perfect midriff... THE SPARE TIRE TUMMY The spare tire: This is one of the easiest tummy troubles to eliminate because it's caused by eating the wrong foods and not exercising enough. HOW TO IDENTIFY THIS TYPE These people are likely to lead sedentary lives, perhaps with jobs that k...

FLATFORM SHOES: Yay or Nay?

Yes, you heard right. It’s the flatform, not the platform! The flatform is really just a flat sandal elevated on a platform sole and it's said to be the "IT" shoe for Spring 2011. This geisha-inspired look is basically one of those styles that you either love or you don’t. And it’s another shoe that is trying to compensate for the painful high heels that have been so prevalent in past seasons. Women are asking for change. Women are wanting the height that the high heel gives but without the foot pain associated with them, so the shoe makers and designers are trying to come up with different ways to solve this problem and give women what they want…but in a stylish shoe. Key word - "stylish." I am by no means a fashion guru but these are light years away from stylish in my book. Glamour magazine however seems to think they are. But then again Glamour magazine doesn't always speak to the , around town girl that isn't trying to look avant-garde on a daily ba...
