Happy Holidays!


Happy Holidays from our home to yours 

Welcome 2021!


It's a new year with new opportunities. Smart technology is becoming mainstream and more affordable, we are spending a lot more time living and working at home, and people are turning on the cooktop for teh first time and experimenting with cooking. People are interested in learning about wine, not just drinking it, and there are lots of fun things in store for us. We can't wait to share! Happy 2021 - we thought that you would never get here!

The Ultimate Lifestylist Has a New Look!

I'm never one that accepts change easily, but when you are as active in the social media world as I am you have to be ready to change or you'll be left behind - quickly.

I'm doing more blogs than ever on Blogger - it has become an easy, inexpensive to get the word out about what we do.  But finding a template that reflected what we do and our "look" has not been easy, and I've spent a lot of money on templates that were too complicated for me to use or just didn't have the look we needed.

After searching one night and getting nowhere I came across a great shop on Etsy - This Girl Design. She offers custom or premade templates, and I love her style and what she offers.

Let me know what you think about our new look!
