Today the badge goes out to someone you’ve heard me mention a time or two (ok let’s be serious – like a gazillion times probably) but that’s simply because she is my absolute favorite person in the whole wide world – and it just so happens that yesterday was her birthday. This week’s Mah-velous Magnolia is none other than my Big Sister, Jessica.
Now I could sit and talk on and on about how we used to (and sometimes still) get into the biggest cat fights or how she steps in when my mind often steps out or how looking back all those times I was Jessica’s Little Sister wasn’t too bad or … you name it.
Simply put – she’s my favorite person, my best friend, and my Sista Sista – and that sums it all up.
• Always my Sister, Always my Friend •
Cheers to beginning a new decade!
loves you

Yea, I know just the kind of day you’re talkin about.
Paging a glass of champagne, an eye mask, Breakfast at Tiffany’s DVD and a bed of pillows – stat.

I’m taking it there. I am indeed. So sit back & get ready for some cheese!
We’re going back for this week’s Music Snack for a little visit with Dionne Warwick, Elton John, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder ….. because That’s What Friends Are For ….. and what’s a girl without her girlfriends?

Friends drift in and out of your life, but no matter how far apart, a good friend is always in your heart.

With thousands upon thousands of blogs out in the World Wide Web, how’s a girl to weed through to find the ones worth reading & following? Even the most level headed of girls can get exhausted just thinking about it! Thankfully you’ve found your way here to The Sassy Steel Magnolia, and I want to make sure you find your way to a few others as well.
This week’s Mah-velous Magnolia badge goes to two fabulously wonderful Web sites I have been fortunate enough to stumble upon.
The first site I discovered being included in what’s called a Follow Friday tweet on twitter. I adore the word Charmed so immediately followed and went straight to her site to scope things out. Needless to say, I was more than delighted with what I found and have passed her site and posts on to numerous people. Do yourself a favor and subscribe to Live the Charmed Life – you’ll be quite happy you did.
The Charmed Life is an attitude. It’s a way of living today as if it’s the only day. It’s taking delight in the life you have, and viewing the world with constant amazement. It’s also being where you are, who you are and embracing the experience. It’s being appreciative, and content with what is. – DeeAnne White, Founder and Creator of Live the Charmed Life
One of my favorite posts: 100 Ways to be Elegant
The next Web site I actually discovered via a tweet from Live the Charmed Life, recommending to follow her. Again, I have a special sweet spot for the word Luxurious so taking a few minutes to see what it was all about was a temptation I was happy to oblige. As soon as you hit the landing page, luxury and elegance fills your screen through well chosen images and thought provoking posts. I easily spent hours last night going through post after post finding greater inspiration with every click of the mouse. Your reader will not be complete until you’ve subscribed to The Simply Luxurious Life – trust me.
Luxury is always in our proximity if only we know where to look, regardless of where we might be living. Whether it be found in wine, food, fashion, home decor, gardening, or entertainment, contentment and pleasure can be found. Here’s to the good life! – Shannon Ables, Founder and Creator of The Simply Luxurious Life

Kiss me in your jealous rage.: What happens if you fall in love with a writer?
Lots of things might happen. That’s the thing about writers. They’re unpredictable. They might bring you eggs in bed for breakfast, or they might all but ignore you for days. They might bring you eggs in bed at three in the morning. Or they might wake you up for sex at three in the morning. Or…
just another day ……
