Holy Moly Mother of God! THE WIFE™ is loving this 19th century French pastry that holds court with a name so fitting… Kouign Amann, pronounced “Queen Ah-Mon“. The name is derived from the Breton words for cake (“kouign”) and butter (“amann”). This addictively delicious pastry hangs out in the same tribe as the cronut, but is denser than a croissant and more layered than a doughnut. If that weren’t enough, the dough contains layers upon layers of butter and sugar magically folded in.
THE WIFE™ discovered this magnificent morning treat last year at Williams Sonoma. We think these make the perfect housewarming gift accompanied by a jar of sweet berry jam. Then on recent trip to Trader Joe’s we found the precious pasties in the frozen section…. Game changer! Order a set of 8 at Williams-Sonoma.com for $39.95 or pick up at a box of 4 at Trader Joe’s, for a fraction of the price at $3.99. -THE WIFE™

As wives we all have those days… When you wake up and putting on make up just sounds… well, exhausting. However, you need a little cover up for fear of scaring the Whole Foods cashier.

What’s even better, Dior just introduced their first tint for cheeks and lips to make step 2 incredibly easy.
Dior’s Cheek and Lip Glow creates an instantly-flattering long lasting flush of pink for all skin tones. The weightless, refreshing gel formula features Fresh Color RevealTM technology, which reacts with the skin’s chemistry to create a tailor-made healthy glow effect on cheeks and lips. The soft, round foam applicator allows for easy application by THE WIFE™. Available in one universally flattering shade, $37.00 at Dior.com. -THE WIFE™
