Here's one more yummy soup to add to your recipe binder. My daughter loved this so much that she claimed the leftovers for her school lunch.

Italian Sausage, White Bean, and Kale Soup. 2 Tbsp olive oil. 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed. 1 yellow onion, diced. ¾ cup shredded carrot. 3-4 garlic cloves, minced. 6 cups chicke

As November begins to wind down, we are officially in the holiday season. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, and breaks for school and work calls for a lot of overeating. In my family, Thanksgiving and Christmas are the biggest holidays as far as cooking. If you add the bounty of food that magically appears on our tables with cold and wet weather, you can find yourself packing on the pounds and picking up bad habits.

Gel Nail Polish is the BEST!!! A manicure that last more than 4 days is a miracle. I recently went for a little self-pampering for the holidays and decided to go with the Gelish Gel Nail Polish Manicure. There were a variety of nail polish colors to choose from. I decided on the Gelish High Bridge (pictured below). I loved the pink and sparkles. When getting a gel polish manicure the process of applying the polish is slightly different.
