Things I’m in love with this week.

• The best sushi I've ever had is at Hillstone Biltmore in Phoenix.  

• I love “no bake” goodies like these chocolate bar impostors from Random Sweetness.  

• With a subtle taste of chocolate this wine had me thinking there were tiny shavings of chocolate inside the bottle.  Not as rich or as sweet as a Port definitely on the lighter side which is what I liked so much about it. 

• This beautiful piece of luggage by Jimmy Choo

• For those of you who don’t know I’m a huge fan of the The Housewives on Bravo, this past Monday was the first night third season of The Housewives of New Jersey and I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of drama.

Realization

I failed at my goal of maintaining my "Maven Monday" posts because I just couldn't keep up with them - Not something I'm proud of but I realize it's better to recognize it sooner rather than later.   I'm not one of those people who promises to do something then doesn’t stick to it therefore I won't be posting The Monday Mavens anymore.  

What I learned from this is what I've known all along, I need to just focus on a few things rather than a bunch of things at one time.  So I've decided to focus on just a few things such as my obsessions which is where food, wine, shoes, purses and yes of course jewelry, come in take you with me on the journey of growing a successful fine jewelry business and how I plan on helping the non-profit organizations I support through my business.   

This is it in a nutshell, I might through in a few surprises here and there but this keeps me from stressing out. 

Spring is my favorite time of the year, trees and flowers come alive
