Frank Underground Serves last Secret Supper 😢

It was a bittersweet night as our dear friends, Master Chefs Jennie Kelley, Ben Starr & Adrien Nieto served one of their final multi-course dinners at Frank Underground. Their secret 🤫 supper experience the past few years has been one of the most impactful culinary experiences ever.
Food, to the point.  
Cheers 🥂 to their next venture!!

Life's A Beach 🏖

I miss the old days at the beach in Evanston, IL! My family and friends had Friday night sings at the beach in Winnetka and afternoon strolls in Evanston. 🏖

Morning cup of Joe ☕️ Usually on the Go!

WHO has time for a quiet cup of coffee anymore? 

It seems as if everyone is always "on the go!" I remember a time when the world traveled a little bit slower and people were able to sip a hot coffee at home before getting out into the jungle of life. My go-to tumbler for my morning cup of joe sports some fabulous lashes. Below are a few pics for unicorn fans too. All can be found in my shop: Amazon.com/shop/rikkiragland

The Yellow Rose of Texas!!

When you are an East Coaster born into seven generations of Texans,

🐾 Hangin' with My Rescue Hunter Wellington 🐶 🚌🛑

Hangin’ with Hunter Wellington! Yesterday was the last day to pick the kid up from the bus stop. This 4-legged one has been my bus stop buddy for several years as we wait in the hot sun or the rain to greet my son & the bus driver 🚌.

We have the best rescue 🐶 a family could ask for. He certainly leaves his 🐾 all over our ❤️ ❤️. His personality is so bright I have to wear shades😎.

A fave of mine are mirrored aviators. Turn them around to check your 💄 😊. Also shining brightly is my Star ✡️ necklace. Both can be found at terrific prices in my Amazon store: amazon.com/shop/rikkiragland

Time for Prime!

Did you know that Amazon sells Apple compatible 🍎⌚️watch bands and accessories and Lilly 🌴 outfits?  Amazon also carries the cutest Jack Rogers. Many items qualify for Prime shipping, which means you could have your favorite outfit in 48⏰ hours! As for the long lashes, you can get those on Amazon too so your eyes don't look like this --> 👀 You will find great prices on all of these when you shop my Amazon store.

Hockey 🏒 Mom

The parents played Dash’s hockey team today! We tied 8-8. I am skating in the green Dallas Stars jersey with the puck. There is a reason why moms don’t try to start a hockey “career” at almost 50 yrs old! 😳

Today's event was brought to you by Advil, Tylenol, Aleve & Tiger Balm.

Faith, Race & Politics in America

I feel that we should bring back a show that I hosted in Chicago for PBS several years ago.
"Faith, Race & Politics" to openly address the issues in our country.

Be Kind.
