Summer Mantel - Show and Tell Friday


Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  This week I'm sharing my fireplace mantel that I decorated for summer.


I used things I already had around my apartment and just brought them all together here.




I love summer decor because it goes so well in my blue and white apartment!




 On a different subject...has anyone tried the Whole30 diet?  I would love to hear your feedback. My niece and her family did it and had great results so I bought the book. I'm still reading it and I hope to start my 30 days in the beginning of August.  No sugar, no grains, no legumes, no dairy and no alcohol!  It will be a challenge because I love my wine!  I think it will be good to give all those things up for 30 days though and then you can add them back in and see how your body responds. Let me know if you've done it!


 and I would like to share a photo from last weekend...me with my amazing girlfriends who make my life so much fun!  We were at "Music in the Park" in Los Gatos, California. 

Gina, Cheryl, Karen, me, Christine and Nancy!

    Thanks for the party! I haven't done the Whole30 but always wanted to try. Willpower is not my strong suit. ;)

    Maybe your readers could start posting some recipes that would help support anyone going on the 30-day elimination diet! I have an acquaintance, a French woman by birth, who has done this as a forever diet and she looks terrific. Belly as flat as a pancake!
