Thanksgiving is slightly different for our family this year. In the best way possible...my brother is getting married. There is so much joy around the holidays that it would seem our family has a lot to celebrate in 2018 and we do!

I will wholeheartedly admit that I am lover of all beauty products. It really doesn’t matter what kind or from where. I will shop at a drugstore as much as I will shop online or at a high end department store. The fact is, I LOVE beauty.

I consider myself somewhat of a Trader Joe’s connoisseur. I almost shop exclusively there and for many good reason. The primary being pricing, produce and unique products or dinner hacks that simplify my life during the work week. You can find healthy, gluten free, organic product at TJ’s no different than anywhere else.

It is utterly swoon worthy!

Last week I had the pleasure of visiting the newly renovated Sears in Oak Brook. This brand has undergone so many different changes so to see the unveiling was exciting as this mass retailer has made a humongous effort to stay current, on trend and approachable. The icing on the proverbial cake was undoubtedly the appearance of Jaclyn Smith and her clothing collection which was formerly only housed at Kmart. Seeing the style maven in person was such a pleasure. More on that later!

By now, you know that Woodfield is my mall of choice. I’ve essentially grown up going there. I’ve seen the changes over the years and this year was no different. The roll out of the uber, sleek Dining Pavilion has made this mall a destination for families, date night, girl’s night and just about every other occasion.
