Thanksgiving is just a few short weeks away, which means people are looking forward to large family meals. What people are not excited about are the large messes that will be consuming their kitchens. With all that preparation of gravy, cranberry sauce and a hundred different types of stuffing and casseroles, sometimes the cook is left with more food on the kitchen counter then in the baking dish. The creators of POURfect® Products have found a solution for common frustrations and mishaps in the kitchen to make food preparation easier, more accurate and tidier for anyone.
The Spill-Proof Bowl Set’s ($15 - $40) smartly designed features make it the only mixing-measuring-pouring bowl you’ll ever need. The unique channel and gull wing design creates a drip less spout to guide the ingredients where they need to go, eliminating overspill. And a small pivot below the drip less spout allows the bowl to latch onto the edge of another bowl or stand mixer while it is running without danger of hitting the beater or spilling a single drop. These bowls are perfect for cooking with the kids.
Many holiday recipes call for measurements such as a drop, smidgen, pinch or a dash. What many people don’t know is that these are actual cooking measurements. POURfect’s 12-piece measuring spoon plus leveler set ($12) offers the most expansive range of sizes available. Attached with a snap-off ring, each spoon is calibrated to measure 1/64 tsp (drop), 1/32 tsp (smidgeon), 1/16 tsp (pinch), 1/8 tsp (dash), ¼ tsp, 1/3 tsp, ½ tsp, ¾ tsp, 1 tsp, 1 ½ tsp, 1 TBS, and 2 TBS and includes a comfort grip with thumb depression for comfort and support. The set also includes a scrape to easily level ingredients for exact measurements and the polished design releases ingredients easily.
When reducing or increasing a recipe’s size, odd measurements can suddenly occur. POURfect’s 9-piece measuring cups ($18) for dry ingredients come in a wide range of common and specialty sizes including: 1/8 cup, ¼ cup, 1/3 cup, ½ cup, 2/3 cup, ¾ cup, 1 cup, 1 ½ cup, and 2 cups. All measuring cups nest within each other for easy storage and have flat bottoms so that they can rest on the counter without spilling.
The POURfect beakers ($10 - $24.95) feature a flat edge drip less spout and gull wings with channel to eliminate the risk of spilling wet ingredients while measuring and pouring. The comfort grip and unique beaker shape fits naturally in the palm of the hand to better control flow when pouring. The beakers are available in 1-cup, 2-cup and 4-cup sizes.

Thanksgiving Style
![]()
This Thanksgiving make sure you present your feast with style! Most of us get overwhelmed with all the logistics involved in creating the perfect Thanksgiving night, however, it can truly be simple when you have the correct guidance. Minoo Hersini, Creative Director at Au Ciel Design Studio shows you the right elements in order to create a masterpiece.
- Make sure your table is asymmetrical to make it more interesting.
- Work with your market. Use various clay containers and fill them up individually with seasonal berries and weave tree barks throughout your clay containers.
- Don't forget your candles in between. Use a variety of fall colors in different sizes and shapes to keep it original.
- Include as many different flowers and plants as possible. Here, vanda orchids, cymbidium orchids, coral gloriosas, peonias, date branches, grand prix roses, fatsia leaves and feathers were used.
- Use this concept all along the table. It is best to create this concept with a long rectangular table.
- For a simpler table setting, intertwine berry and huckleberry branches throughout the table. Also, you can add single blooms or petals of flowers in various fall tones and add your candle in between.
- Lastly and most importantly, have fun, be creative and enjoy your festivities!

Review: Robert Abbey Sabrina Table Lamp

CSN Lighting has the best selection of lights from top notch brands such as Kenroy Home, George Kovac, Progess Lighting, Kichler and many more!
I received the Robert Abbey Sabrina Table Lamp ($209) in Lily Glazed Ceramic with Translucent White Mont Blanc Shade to review. This lamp has beautiful swirled floral accents, and the lily glazed ceramic finish is complemented by a translucent white mont blanc parchment shade. This lamp will add a sophisticated demure to almost any room! The interior lighting of our casa is a basic requirement to a comfortable life. The full range dimmer will set a romantic mood.
This particular lamp is also available in Blue, Mint Tint, Pink Parfait and Hint 'O Blue.

Review: Casa di Francesca
Inspired by these rich surroundings, vibrant colors and intoxicating aromas, Casa di Francesca presents a collection of pure signature scents that bring Old World European excellence to your home through an array of Italian diffuser fragrances and hand crafted accessories. Create a perfect oasis with our collection of natural scents formulated with the world’s finest essential oils and escape to far-away lands without ever having to leave the comfort of your own home. Katie Borghese continues in the tradition of her family’s attention to beauty and well-being, while reflecting her passion for Italian culture, art and tradition with Casa di Francesca’s exclusive line of reed diffusers, diffuser refills, scented rosettes, preserved boxwood topiaries, and one-of-a-kind Murano glass.
This Casa di Francesca diffuser captures the unmistakable scents of Honeysuckle and Night Blooming Jasmine coming together in a magnificent fragrance that brings to mind the soft summer days of Southern European gardens. Peaceful, sunny havens where the hungry butterflies and hummingbirds bend with gentle breezes just to drink in the nectar of these two delicate flowers and where evening beckons the warm, rich aromas and flickering fireflies that bring joy to the nighttime skies.
I received the Honeysuckle & Night Blooming Jasmine ($39.50), which is a highly fragrant and sophisticated scent. I received this a few months ago, and it still going strong. I'm a bit surprised that it lasted it this long, because most of the reed diffusers I've bought in the past would last for only a month. The fragrance hasn't faded one bit either. I wish I had a perfume that smells good as this reed diffuser!
Other fragrances that sound scent worthy: Peony, Deep Lilac and Coconut Cove.
