Hello my Lovelies. I trust you all a great week and looking forward to the weekend. I know I am, as I have lovely dinner plans with a trip to the beach as well as , to catch some much needed sunshine. Don't get me wrong there is great weather all around me here in the tropics, but when you are working in a cold air conditioning office, you don't see much of the sun or warm weather.<br />
<br />
I adore simple weekend dresses like the one I've posted, that's breezy and light or shorts with filp flops and a huge beach bag where I just throw my stuff in. The weekend is also not complete without a broad rim hat, the broader the better.<br />
<br />
Well Cheers to the wekend and be safe my Lovelies, till we meet again.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Love Lisa</span><br />

<br />With the season in full swing and the anticipation of Thanksgiving in the air, what are you, my Lovelies up to. I recently poured over the <a href="http://www.ruemag.com/magazine/issue/issue-forty-four?utm_source=Rue+Magazine+Newsletter&utm_campaign=574a9ab198-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_11_16&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_58c5a314b8-574a9ab198-37358133#74">Rue Magazine Holiday Issue</a> now online.

I adore the wooden bistro chairs and those hand craved peacocks. The colors are fresh and warm, with touches of gold and copper goblets and pine cones to give this setting an effortless rustic feel.<div>

Details are everything and the serving platter above is genius, in keeping the rustic theme. I hope everyone is inspired, especially those of you who will be hosting Thanksgiving this year. Take care everyone and have a Happy Thanksgiving.<br />

Hello all my lovelies, summer it seems has made its entrance and we are are on the hunt for some lovely additions to our wardrobe. I found some much needed inspiration at Tory Burch's offical lookbook for summer 2016. I adored the kaftans, especially this take on a short one and the fabrics are glorious. Yellow is not a colour I have a lot of in my closet, but this summer I will be on the look out for some new pieces, like those patterned shorts above. Cheers to a lovely week and I'll see you back here at the blog very soon.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.375px;">Hello everyone, here is one of my fave recipes that I love. What is there to not like about Bruchetta,</span></span> </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">(Italian pronunciation </span>bruˈsketta.<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">) an easy to make antipasto (starter dish) recipe that has it's origins in Italy. Originally grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with oliveoil and salt. Today there are numerous variaitions consisting of </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">toppings of tomato, vegetables, beans, cured meat, or cheese.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The noun bruschetta comes from the Roman dialect verb bruscare, meaning 'to roast over coals'. The dish probably originated in ancient Rome, when olive growers bringing their olives to the local olive press would toast slices of bread to sample their fresh-pressed oil.</span></div>

<div>
<b>1) The glass</b></div>
<br />The best way to enjoy champagne is in a white wine glass. A white wine glass's larger bowl enables the wine to open up in the glass, allowing you to better enjoy all the aromas and to savor the complexity of the champagne. Traditional champagne flutes are perfect for showcasing champagne's stream of bubbles, but their narrow shape limits the drinker's experience of aromas and flavors. Coupe glasses, on the other hand, create the opposite experience; the glass's extra-wide mouth amply exposes the champagne to the air allowing the bubbles and aromas to escape quickly.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>2) Best way to open</b><br /><br />When opening your bottle of <a href="http://www.moet.com/prehome">Moët & Chandon</a>, make sure you keep the cage on! The cage helps you control the cork so it doesn't fly out when it pops, and also gives you leverage to help separate the cork from the bottle. When removing the cork, hold the top of the cage with your thumb to keep the cork in place and untwist the wire six times. Then hold the cage and cork together in one hand while using the other to twist the bottle's base in a circular direction away from the cork to slowly work the cork out. Twisting the bottle instead of the cork allows you to more gently remove the cork and have more control.<br /><br /><b>3) Where to store</b><br /><br />A common misconception when storing champagne is to leave it in the fridge. If you're planning to enjoy your bottle of champagne immediately (within 3 or 4 days after buying it) storing it in the refrigerator is fine. But if it sits there for weeks the cork can dry out as there is no humidity in refrigerators. As corks dry out, the seal between the bottle and the cork loosen up and the champagne will oxidize faster, changing its aromas. Instead, keep it in a cool place in your home, away from any light, and where the temperature is consistent.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /><b>4) The ideal temperature</b><br /><br />Once you're ready to enjoy your champagne, the best way to chill your bottle is to fill an ice bucket with ice and one-third water and allow your bottle to cool for 15-20 minutes. <a href="http://www.moet.com/prehome">Moët & Chandon</a> should be served around 50⁰ F.<br /><br /><b>5) Pouring</b><br /><br />When pouring champagne, only fill your glass about one-third of the way full. If you over-pour, it will warm up too quickly!<br /><br /><b>6) Hold the stem!</b><br /><br />Also, remember to hold your glass by the stem and not by the bowl because your hands will warm the champagne up too quickly. And, holding the glass by the stem will make you look oh so elegant!<br /><br /><b>7) The stopper</b><br /><br />In between pours, don't forget to use a good champagne stopper to preserve all the delicious bubbles! A stopper will keep your open bottle fresh for about 1 day, in case you don't finish in one sitting.<br /><b><br />8) Drink champagne with your dinner!</b><br /><br />Enjoy champagne throughout an entire meal! Many people think they should only enjoy Champagne as an aperitif but that it is not the only way to drink it. Champagne pairs beautifully with foods like fish, meat, grilled vegetables, and risotto, and can bring out new flavors you've never tasted in these foods!<br /><br /><b>9) Best foods to pair with bubbly</b><br /><br />Also, don't be afraid to experiment with food pairings. Oysters and caviar are fantastic with champagne, and more casual foods like truffle fries, fried chicken and cheese are equally delicious with Champagne! Champagne loves oily, salty and fatty foods as they bring out the wine's fruitiness and freshness, so foods like burgers, tacos, BBQ sauce, and lobster are exciting new pairings to try that champagne connoisseurs have been enjoying for years!<br /><br /><b>10) Celebrate every day</b><br /><br />If you have a bottle of champagne in your refrigerator, don't wait for a special occasion to enjoy it. You will see that by opening that bottle, the special occasion will come to you. Celebrate life every day!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>To all my lovelies may the New Year be filled with every good thing. May God bless you and continue to guide you through all life's challenges and victories.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>The year 2015 has been a year that has been filled with peaks and lows, I didn't post much here on the blog as I lost my Dad. Needless to say with my divorce not concluded and his passing I was absent from the blog most of year as my perspective was one of grief and coping with loss. Can anyone out there relate?</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>I am still not sure how to face the new year, if you know what I mean, it's like I can't face another disappointing thing and I'm frightened somewhat. So regardless of whether I am ready, life goes on and it doesn't miss a beat.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>This year I saw both my children, come thru the toughest time in their lives, to come out on the other end, whole, grounded and secure. Nothing can prepare a child for a parent leaving the home, it doesn't matter from what angle you look at it. I have had to put myself on a back-burner to concentrate on them emotionally and mentally. I had taken to reading any and everything I could get my hands to answer their questions. But in the end I needed answers too, to a 15 year marriage shattered and leaving me questioning every memory of it.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>I have learnt to embrace my single mum status and to embrace my children and to accept them for who they are. It's amazing how close we are and I wouldn't change that for the world. I would change however, how I relate to a boy now 12 years old, in who confidence is key and an eight year old girl going on 19 who thinks being a florist is her calling in life. So I think I'll be reading more parenting books in 2016.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>In conclusion and as 2015 slips away and 2016 arrives, I know one thing for sure - I am not alone, God continues to walk with me and guides me thru the expected and unexpected and I have my family and friends that are true and close to my heart. I will be making sure I treasure them and not take time with them for granted. I miss my Dad, we had a great last conversation, but sometimes I wish I could have said more and done more and be more with him.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>So there you are my recap and truth. Ilook forward to being here more and sharing all the loveliness I can find amidst life happenings.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>So cheers my lovely readers. See you in 2016.</i></span></div>

<br />
Today ,streets will be closed in and around Bridgetown for the costume bands to parade and dance in the streets. Here are some pics of the colourful celebrations of Kadooment day.<br />
