I am going to share one of my easiest salads to make when you need a full meal or a side salad.
I love a delicious Greek salad but am allergic to red onions so I found a way to pack a lot of flavor into a Salad using ingredients that are delicious and healthy! This salad is packed with Vitamin A, C, K & Fiber from the Kale, Tomatoes, Cauliflower rice & Pomegranate seeds. Also protein from the Feta cheese & Greek Yogurt Tzatziki Dip

The town itself is very quaint and is a peninsula surrounded by water. On the tip if the peninsula is the Jean Cap Du Ferrat Four Seasons. The south of France is a very popular destination for mega yachts so it was amazing seeing them in the Mediterranean sea as well as the different sale boat regattas.

I love seeing the different parts of the Country and meeting the friendliest people while indulging in the most delicious food.
It is no secret that I love pasta, so every time I spend a week in Italy it is a huge treat for me. I spent my days enjoying my time with my family, exploring a new part of Northern Italy, taking in all the culture and choosing between which Gelato flavors I was going to eat that day.
This trip we drove around Northern Italy to Milan, Verona, Bergamo & Stresa.

The food here was delicious. I had a lot of eggs & lobster and I was OK with that! Once we landed we checked in and headed out to a late lunch. We went to the Libertine which was a 5 minute walk from our Hotel and we both enjoyed soft boiled eggs with tomatoes, cheese in a skillet and a piece of garlic bread. That night we had reservations at Soho House Amsterdam since it was a block away from my Hotel and I went Friday night for dinner and drinks. We sat at the restaurant and both were craving burgers! That was shocking for Veronica since she isn’t really a meat eater but after a day of travel it was much needed.

We walked all around the area near our hotel and found hidden gems as well as some mainstream shops such.

For this first time the classic Chanel Number 5 fragrance bottle is reimagined in red. I love how festive the color red is during the holidays. There is no easier way to dress up a holiday look than adding a pop of red lipstick. My mother always tells me to carry lipstick around as you never know whom you might meet and I fully believe that this Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in La Fascinante is the perfect red lip for the holidays! This non-drying matte lipstick easily glides on providing long-wearing color in a gorgeous matte finish.

Read MoreCrop tops are definitely a huge trend in the summer but who says they can not be worn in the winter? For me, winter dressing is all about being warm, which is why a crop top would not usually be part of my outfit choices. I do; however, love the look of high waisted jeans and a bit of belly showing. This season I am finding a way to show a bit more skin. Instead of wearing a traditional crop top I love tying my t-shirts to show a bit of skin creating an improptu crop top.
