PANTRY ORGANIZING TIPS
W
hether you’re hosting a dinner party or just preparing your daily meals, a built-in butler’s pantry can transform simple storage into a space that streamlines your tasks, shows off your style, and lets you entertain graciously. Here are a few pro tips to consider when planning your home pantry.
Frame your favorites. An open pantry is an ideal place to show off your favorite dishes, beverages, and cooking tools. Use the colors, forms, and textures of your supplies to become part of your décor, and consider a white or neutral color to make whatever you’re showcasing “pop.”
Serve it up. A built-in wine and stemware rack keeps supplies close at hand so you’re always ready to raise a toast. Add an open countertop where you can invite guests in to chat (and admire your pantry) as you prepare their beverages.
Divide and conquer. Instead of storing decorative trays and cutting boards in a drawer, use vertical dividers to keep them upright, organized, and easy to see every time you walk by.
Clear the counters. Keep your specialty tools close at hand without cutting into your prep space. Deep pull-out drawers can hold small appliances like blenders and mixers when not in use, so your countertops stay open and uncluttered. Pick your favorite. Consider pull-out wire baskets for storing produce. Their full-extension glides make it easy to grab a snack or restock, and the see-through design shows off the seasonal colors.
Keep it clean. Tuck mops, brooms, and other cleaning supplies into a tall cabinet within your pantry. They’ll be hidden from sight but easy to reach when you need a quick clean-up. A home pantry can be so much more than a place to store your food. Beautifully designed storage solutions can make your home elegant, efficient—and always ready to entertain!

4 Ways To Perfect A Carefree Style

carefree style may appear effortless, but creating a look that stands up to a busy day still requires some simple work.
Keep your skin in top condition and your hair and makeup on point with these tips from the beauty experts at Macy’s to help you look and feel your best. Protect your skin. If there’s only one skin care product you use, it has to be sunscreen. Not only is daily SPF important for avoiding sunburns, it also helps prevent wrinkles and spots caused by sun damage. Apply early and often, and don’t be fooled by a cloudy day. Even when skies are overcast, those UV rays can inflict plenty of harm. If you’ll be out for

an extended period, consider a stylish hat to lend extra protection to your scalp, ears and face. Also remember to cover or apply sunscreen to oftenoverlooked places, such as the tops of your feet. Go for all-day eyes. When you’re embracing a laid-back look, a fully done eye can be overkill. A basic tint and some mascara is a simple way to achieve a put-together but fuss-free style. Using a waterproof formula can give you the confidence that your lashes are in perfect condition and ready for whatever the day may bring. If you have a favorite formula, check to see whether a waterproof version is available. Make it matte. For lip color that lasts from sunrise to moonlight, matte lipstick is the real
deal. In addition to being long-lasting, matte lipsticks pack an intense punch of color perfect for a bright and cheerful lip. If a little sparkle or shine is more your thing, go ahead and add a light layer of clear gloss and give yourself bonus points if one layer or both include SPF. Explore new ideas. Switch up your look and unlock new favorites with Macy’s Beauty Box, a $15 monthly subscription to beauty’s most wowworthy products specially chosen by beauty experts. With a variety of products from the best brands ranging from eye shadows to mascaras to lipsticks, each month you’ll receive five deluxe beauty samples, one bonus item, a collectible cosmetics bag and a $5 beauty coupon available for use in-store and on macys.com.
MillennialFashionista is a fashion, beauty, and lifestyle blog seeking to inspire millennial women to be the best they can be in everything they do. “I launched MillennialFashionista in November 2016; but my love of makeup and fashion began long before my blog. When young, I’d try on my mother’s stilettos, or watch my mom do her morning makeup (only to dig my hands into her makeup drawers once she left). For me, “dressing up” was daily life, another form eating or breathing—it’s what I did; it’s who I was. I loved that I could transform myself with a little creativity. If we look, we’ve all got lights within ourselves to share with the world. MillennialFashionista allows me to share my light, with many lives beyond myself. And — as I daily remind myself — “You can never be overdressed or overeducated.” So make the most of this day, and do your best to be your best self! It’s grace, elegance, and class for daily life. Every day, we can learn something new and share something new! And my “sharing” usually involves makeup. ;-) Kisses! Besos! Pupici!”

s you walk in the front door, you are greeted with the warmest “Hi, may I help you?” You are made to feel as though they have been waiting for you to come visit. It is the most relaxing place where you feel as if you’re visiting family. Yes, to Nancy P. Lewis, Owner/Custom Fitter of Victorious Images, You ARE family. Nancy has created an atmosphere of comfort where you can sit and have a cup of coffee or tea, even read a book. Nancy has the patience of a saint and will sit awhile and listen to what is troubling you or even offer a shoulder to cry on. Nancy has been known to even visit her customers at the local hospital just to make sure everything is going well. “There have been times where someone would pop in and feel comfortable knowing they had someone to talk to”, says Nancy. If someone you know is scheduling surgery for a mastectomy, it is important to see Victorious Images BEFORE surgery. A post-surgical camisole or bra is very helpful and makes the after-surgery process much easier to deal with. Please do not hesitate to call them about these important items. They offer fittings for breast prosthesis and mastectomy bras also. Victorious Images is located in Williamsburg and is the destination shop for women who want personalized care with a little TLC while fighting cancer. From Post Surgical Garments to Breast Prosthesis and Mastectomy Bras, they offer help through your complete journey, at the boutique location and also providing in-home fittings for those unable to come to the boutique. Nancy saw the need her home-town had for a shop dedicated to women battling all types of cancer. With the proper help and support, she knew it could have a profound effect on the women’s health, mindset, and their own self image. Victorious Images is a fully accredited facility with The Board of Certification/ Accreditation, International. The accreditation standards are the benchmark for measuring postmastectomy centers and we are happy to say we have been successful in reaching these important care standards. We must meet over 75 different quality standards pertaining to client care, facility guidelines, and insurance standards. Call Nancy at 757.476.7335 to set up an appointment or just stop by at 7191 Richmond Road, Ste. E, Williamsburg, VA. SEPT/OCT 2017 RENEW
