Here’s an Idea. Take A Girls Trip to See the Cashiers Designer Showhouse this month.

Aug 18, 2015 | Susu

The Cashiers NC Showhouse opens this Saturday.  First, I must confess, I have never been, so I don’t know if this is a great showhouse or just a good excuse to grab some friends and shop the mountain stores.  Either way, the trip is worthwhile. [note, just in case you were thinking of staying overnight […]

Here are some Cocktails to make with LaCroix.

Aug 14, 2015 | Susu

I am devoted to LaCroix. I buy the big mixed case at Costco, along with my super-size tubs of Palmetto Pimento Cheese and 20 0z. bags of Sea Salt Somersaults, and then at least another $250 worth of whatever catches my eye. Which is why I can only go to Costco once a month, ’cause […]

Apparently in emails he couldn’t stop whining about the color of his pool cover and fussing over the fabric of his sweaters, just months before winning the Super Bowl. Stud. I just love hearing what famous folks require. I remember when Madonna’s crazy […]
