Friday Food and Favorites - Pretty Food and Mother's Day Wish List

Thursday, May 03, 2012

Let's talk about food! Now that my appetite's back with a vengeance, and I promised myself I would appreciate feeling good enough to have an appetite, I'm appreciating it a bit too much. So every morning I wake up and decide to eat in a most healthy way with controlled portions, and most of the time I do. But I find myself dreaming of beautiful and completely unhealthy confections. What put me over the top today though, was when a blog friend of mine posted a photo of a piece of gorgeous cake and all I wanted to do was take a bite out of my computer screen!

So for Friday food I'm posting nothing practical and everything beautiful. I know so many of you, especially the creative ones, enjoy food as an art form. So here's some delicious eye candy...literally!

Now for my Friday favorites I was thinking, I should make a Mother's Day gift list, but alas, the one area I have never been good at has been choosing gifts for others. But then I realized that many of you reading this blog possibly may be young enough to be my daughter or only a few years older (I check the stats and demographics of my blog ;). So I decided I would be the mother here, and make a list of all the things I would love for Mother's Day....don't worry, this is not a hint in any way whatsoever!!

But seriously, I'd love to hear what you think of my wish list:

1. Blingy Baubles
I love all things sparkly and I especially love over sized rings, they just seem to add a bold finishing touch to my outfits. Check out my collection of rings to buy HERE.

2. A gift  card to HomeGoods
I have this dream of setting up a glamorous workspace for myself. I've learned that you don't need much space to do this, and with a few fabulous pieces from a place like HomeGoods you can create a wonderful work spot. Maybe one day....

3. A Really Nice Bottle of Wine 
This picture from a friend's facebook post gave me the idea for this gift and I just had to share it!

4. A Gift Certificate to a swanky hotel spa (oh yeah!)

5. Finally, what I would really love, is to get and learn Photoshop, because so much of my joy comes from creating beautiful blog posts and photo editing. But that I think I will go buy for myself. Can anyone recommend which Photoshop I should start with?
Do you think your Mom would like some of the stuff I've listed here? What do you think should be on a Mother's Day gift list?

  4. Glad your appetite is back - good sign! Great photos!

    My mom loves aprons with my son's artwork on it - she can never have too many! I love anything homemade, but especially my son's origami as a mobile for my bathroom.

    For your glam office space, I love what you have but could so see you in Aerin Lauder Zinterhoffer's amazing office (in her dressing room/closet - talk about divine and refined!). You should be able to google it if you haven't already seen it. Shabbat Shalom!

  6. Even I would love all the things you've listed Sharon. Don't forget to tell Mom you love her simply because she's Mom! Sometimes that's all that is needed.

    Happy Friday!

  9. Photoshop would be my pick as a Mother's Day gift for moi. Of course it would be a much more fulfilling experience if I had the baubles on while exploring the new program on my computor.... ok, and maybe a glass of wine on the side.

  10. Now that is some eye candy! I've been feeling the same way since my appetite has come back as well. I think your wishlist is pretty reasonable. All moms do deserve to get spoiled on Mother's Day of course. I'm getting mine beauty products and a facial.

    Happy weekend!
