Well here is a great tip to remove the body powder that gets on your knit top. You know what I am talking about… you remove your knit top and there it is .. those little white line … now what? It is not really dirty… it may have been a top you were trying on in the store and decided to buy.
Here is the tip.. You know the hangers that have the sponges on the shoulder so that tops or dresses don’t slip off? Take that little rectangle off the hanger and dab it gently on those little white lines … Presto! GONE! It lifts it right off the knit. No smudges. No smears!

Last night after our meeting with THE 28 here in Toronto…we all went to dinner at Canyon Creek Chophouse. Vic wanted a cheese plate for dessert to go with the Inniskillin Ice Wine. Our waiter Ian, cheerfully put one together for us even though it was not on the menu. One of the cheeses was a Vodka Currant. It was a semi-hard cheese and tasted like a cross between Cheddar and Parmasan. YUMMY! Turns out the cheese is from Sweden and marinated in Absolut Vodka.
Vic and I discovered Ice Wine 2 years ago when we visited the Inniskillin Winery in Niagra at the Lake. No one at the table besides us had heard of it let alone tasted it. What is Ice Wine? The grapes are picked at night when they are frozen which is at the peak of sweetness. The Ice Wine is a sweet, light, yet crisp dessert wine. Most dessert wines that I have tried are heavy and syrupy.
Everyone at the table was in agreement…the Vodka Currant Cheese and the Inniskillin Ice Wine were keepers!

Food Find
Isn’t this going to be fun! Over the years I have come across all kinds of nuggets of information that I have shared with friends and family. These nuggets can be just about anything… personal development, personal style, travel tips, food finds, restaurants, cooking tips, decorating, the neatest find on just about anything.
The name of this blog came about on the wedding bus! Well not exactly. You see on January 1st I married Vic Johnson. So on December 31st, we took all our family members to a real Texas BBQ spot, The Salt Lick just outside of Austin Texas. You just can NOT visit Texas without getting some GOOOOOD BBQ. There were lots of out-of-staters (Vic is from Florida) and a truly Texan experience was in order. So we rented a bus, loaded ‘em up and put my sister Melea in charge of “entertainment”.
Melea put together a bunch of questions … sort of “game show meets how well do the bride and groom know each other” quiz. One of the questions to each of us was what was the other person’s number one dream. Answer: Vic’s is to build a house in Jackson Hole and mine is my internet tv show centered around cooking & lifestyle tips. Which no one knew about. So Melea quickly said… last 4 rows in the bus… come up with a name for the show…you have 60 seconds!”. Emma, my niece shouted out “Living it with Lisa”. And thus the name stuck. Since the internet show is not yet live…a blog was born!
Now I can share all my nuggets in one place for all to see!
It’s all about the lifestyle that is YOU!
Enjoy the journey with me!
