Everyone can use a refresher especially when it comes to table setting. It can get a little tricky with all the components. Test yourself. A clue: The table setting tells the story. Think of the order of dinner and don’t second guess yourself. 😉 Did you answer correctly? Chime in. Planning a dinner party? We can assist you at A Social Life.

A fabulous performance from Ebonie Taylor, who happens to be Koko Taylor’s niece. The blues run deep in their family. My client was so excited and happy.

My mother’s last Christmas showcasing the art of the bow. She was known for her beautiful gift wrapping. I miss her dearly but I’m keeping her traditions and memory alive. Merry Christmas and to all a good night.

The Memories Tree It was an absolute pleasure designing this Christmas tree for a very special client. As I was placing each ornament on the tree, she would reflect on how she acquired each one, and the relationship with each family member or the longtime friend that are or no longer with us. Every placing of the ornament came with an awesome story. Some were even made as a family. The pleasure was in allowing this elder to enjoy the luxury of sitting and watching her Christmas tree come to life. “The kids are all grown now. This tree is for ME. My memories.” Yes ma’am, this is for you. ~Erika Jones, A Social Life

Here’s a quick tip on how to spruce up your hors d’oeuvres presentation this holiday season. #entertaining #athome #eventdesigner #eventplanner #eventdesign #serving #platter #appetizers #horsdoeuvres #ASocialLife

With all the holiday entertaining and cooking that will be taking place the next couple of months, it's time to get your kitchen in order. Toss out the plastic cooking utensils and upgrade to stainless steel. Remember plastic melts and over time it will melt into your food. Who would want that? Invest in a good set of stainless steel utensils and wooden spoons. They are safe and will last for years to come. Happy cooking you fabulous chefs you. #lifestyle #luxurystyle #luxuryhome #thebasics #entertaining #cooking #utensils #stainlesssteel #dinner #ASocialLife
