Accent's by Vickie Winans - OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

Located at 28801 Southfield Road in Lathrup Village (just north of Detroit).  This is the blingiest bling store around!  The fares reflect Vickie's living-out-loud personality.  The moment you walk through the doors you're wow'd by the sparkling one of a kind trinkets, baubles and bangles.  Oh, did I mention that the price is affordable on even modest budgets?  If you live in Metro Detroit, but have never visited you're living beneath your bling-privilege!  Run, don't walk there!

I'm a pearls kind of a girl so whenever I come across a beautiful piece of jewelry that is bejeweled with pearls...I'm all in.

Tell me, what type of jewelry are you into?  Where do you buy yours?

I LOVE my branch of the Y!  Not only do I have a full membership, but I enrolled my mom, daughter and grandchildren.  I try to get there at least once a week.  As you can see, I use the stationary bike, I also do the treadmill, the (very light) free weights and one of the weight machines.  I'm working my way up to the eliptical.  I got on that bad-boy twice and thought I would have a heart attack - FOR REAL!  So I waved the white flag for now, but as the Governator once said...."I'll be back!"  

The gym and weights are a necessity but my favorite form of exercise are the aquatics.  At various intervals I've been enrolled in water pilates, water aerobics, aquatic therapy and I'm currently taking deep water fitness once per week - my favorite!  If you've never done water exercises, I highly recommend it.  Regardless of whether you're exercising in swallow or in deep water, it's a great way to get fit.  Much easier on the joints and you'd best believe you get in a serious cardio workout.

I'm curious, are you currently on any time of fitness regime?  If so, please share.

Saxophonist Randy Scott

Since I can't provide a justifiable description of this phenomenal artist, I'll simply offer the info from Randy's discography: The 2007 release, Breathe features a new level of production for Randy, and collaboration with renowned artists such as guitarist Tim Bowman, and pianist/singer Frank McComb. Breathe showcases the best of Randy's songwriting, producing and performing talents with styles ranging from up-beat adult contemporary to traditional free-flowing jazz. My favorite song is Hope in Darkness from his Breathe album.

The Game on BET

THE GAME is now part of the BET lineup. The sitcom stars Tia Mowry (“Sister, Sister”) as Melanie Barnett, who is thrust into the world of professional football when her boyfriend becomes a wide receiver for the San Diego Sabers. The series follows Melanie as she struggles with the ups and downs of having a "famous" other half and a new group of friends - the other players' wives.

THE GAME also stars Coby Bell (“Third Watch”), Pooch Hall (“Miracle's Boys”), Hosea Chanchez (“For Your Love”), Brittany Daniel (“White Chicks”) and Wendy Raquel Robinson (“The Steve Harvey Show”). 

Watching the Game is one of my (few) guilty pleasures; along with The Biggest loser, the Young and the Restless and the Bold and Beautiful.  I was entertained when it was on previously, Tia Mowry's character Melanie was sweet, naive and cute...this season the medical school graduate is a tsunami of controversy.  Baby Mama Drama, Football Wives...Comedy?  Well it's started out classified as a sitcom, but so ar the new season offers more nail biting cliffhangers than laughter.




Are you a fan of "The Game?"  If so, share you take on the characters.  What other shows do you like to watch?

My daughter and son-in-law gave Rick and I some of Yum Delish's tasty treats for our 25th wedding anniversary!  Yummmmy!!!!!!!


Savory sweet treats, particularly those of a chocolate kind, have always been a passion for the owner of Yum Delish, Detroit native, Monike L. Welch. Frustrated with the high prices and low quality of store bought chocolate covered strawberries, Welch did her research and created her own secret recipe. Once she made her first batch for one of her event planning clients…that passion for gourmet desserts became her purpose. Now after exponential growth based primarily on the word of mouth of satisfied customers, Monike prides herself on providing a high quality product for affordable prices. Yum Delish is now the place to go for gourmet dipped fruit and sweet treats. When you pamper yourself or a loved one by purchasing Yum Delish Products, prepare your pallets for a decadent experience!
