We have a winner...

Congratulation to Carolyn MacDonald, she is the winner of my good skin giveaway! Thank you to all my readers who entered, keep reading - more giveaways are on the horizon.

Treats de España...

These are so yummy, the perfect companion with a cup of tea, hot chocolate or coffee. They hail from Spain and I found them in my local Stop & Shop of all places. The individually wrapped tortas de aceite (olive oil biscuits) are light and flaky with a hint of sweetness, makes for a perfect snack!

Start your day off with a party...

I recently attended a Stella & Dot jewelry party, one of the perks of being a stay at home mom is being able to attend a party at 9am. After dropping my son off at school I headed over to the party. My mommy friend Tara graciously hosted, her home was the perfect backdrop to showcase such beautiful baubles. The party was a family affair, Tara's sister in law Sheila was the party stylist. Although I will deny it to my husband I did indeed purchase two lovely pieces, the signature clover necklace and baby flower post earrings for my three year old daughter (something for everyone). We enjoyed coffee, cake, good company and shopping, what more could a girl ask for...well maybe more time- my other mommy friend Margaret and I were late picking up our kids from school. 

G-I-V-E-A-W-A-Y...

It's Wednesday and we could all use a pick me up to make it through to the end of the week, so I am offering my readers a GIVEAWAY! I cannot live without an exfoliater and this "at home" skin refining treatment does wonders! This microcrystal skin refinisher comes from good skin, sold at Kohl's - I recommend you run out and stock up! One lucky Jack & Salma reader will win their own right here, send me an email at info@jackandsalma.com with "PICK ME" in the subject and this Friday I will announce a winner. Good Luck.

Take a stand...

My new obsession, cake stands! I don't just like them, I A-D-O-R-E them. They are so pretty and really make your sweet confections look that much better. I personally own six now, my most recent purchase was a turquoise cake stand - which is another one of my obsessions, the color turquoise! You can find them just about anywhere from HomeGoods to Target.

And the Winner is...

This is my husband Nicholas whom I absolutely adore, we are married six years and together 16 years- he is a wonderful husband and the most incredible father. I always see contests in magazines for "Sexiest Dad" and my intentions are to always submit his picture, but I never do...anyway consider this my contest and first place goes to him!
