It Takes A Village....(to date these days).

Yes, girls...men are so hard to understand that it takes a whole heap of girlfriends to help figure them out, right? Well, there's a new book out you're going to want to own, which sheds some light on the way guys REALLY think. It's by a smokin' hot dude with a lot of attitude, and it will let you in on secrets that you need to know.

It's called The Manual: A True Bad Boy Explains How Men Think, Date, and Mate--and What Women Can Do to Come Out on Top by Steve Santagati, and you can get it at www.amazon.com.

Divine Goodness (In Chocolate)

I just happened into a gourmet chocolate boutique today, and amongst the $65.00 a pound chocolates (hey, this is New York City!), I found a little sweet taste that is absolutely DIVINE!

That's right, for $1.59 DIVINE Chocolates "heavenly chocolate with a heart" as they say, were absolutely delicious....the 1.5 oz. bar of dark chocolate melted in my mouth. They have a very interesting story about how the chocolate is created, and they sell across the country. Visit them at www.divinechocolateusa.com.

Check back later, closer to Valentine's Day for a little sweet giveaway.

Pocket Pal

We know we all have to shape up for the New Year, but as those resolutions fall by the wayside, here is one thing will make it sooooo much easier. This pedometer from Sportline looks just like a credit card, thin and chic, and fits in your pocket. Counts calories and steps and looks good in three different fun colors. ThinQ Pocket Pedometer is $30.00 from www.sportline.com

Pandora would have loved this box!

If you're a jewelry collector like me, you need a nice home for your jewelry. Two beautiful examples are the antique silver or ivory lacquer Lux Jewelry Boxes, both with a black velvet lining from www.westelm.com ($89.00). They are a nice size -- 16" x 13" x 9"tall, and have a tasseled key and Asian looking, decorative lock motif, and they're so pretty you'll want to leave them on the dresser. Or put them in the bathroom and fill with all those makeup brushes and pencils that have been taking up space on the shelf.

Baby... It's MORE than cold outside.

Well, the temperature has dropped here in New York City, so I thought it appropriate to recommend something warm and cozy and -- on sale! The new Garnet Hill catalog has a luscious soft cotton jersey robe trimmed in cashmere that's ankle length with a long, lean silhouette. Best of all it's marked down ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS.....that's right, it's only $48.00 instead of $148.00! No more raggy bathrobes, ever! Visit www.garnethill.com.
