The Holidays bring back favorite event traditions, many of them serving to raise funds to give back to our community.
As the DeVilles mark their calendars for some of the events listed below, they strive to look and feel their best. OMG! The fall trip to the French Riviera resulted in few extra pounds for Danelle, and with all of these events to attend, she needs to shed them fast. We shared our own experience with the “battle of the bulge,” offering some resources for jump-starting a Keto diet and another secret weapon—SkinnyBod shots, available at Bodyology. We also referred her to Kendra Tilleman at Skinfinity for toning up (without exercise)!
Inspired by hearing Lady Fiona Carnarvon (The Right Honorable Countess of Carnarvon) speak at the Women’s Council of the Dallas Arboretum’s 16th Annual A Writer’s Garden last month, Danelle is intent on grooming and making updates to the manor’s grounds. Lady Carnarvon lives with her husband, Geordie, the 8th Earl of Carnarvon at Highclere Castle, known to millions around the world as “Downton Abbey.” And why should the DeVille manor in Dallas be any less spectacular? At the A Writer’s Garden event, we introduced her to Gail McCrory, Horticulturalist, a woman who shares Lady Carnarvon’s appreciation for all things outdoors. We also shared some ideas for updating her Outdoor Living Space and recommended Manorly Home Concierge Management for the outdoor update project. Danelle and Dash were so impressed with Manorly that they decided to sign up for one of their home maintenance packages.
The plan is, that over the winter, while the garden area is being spiffed up, the DeVilles will plan a spring garden party. Dash is consulting with The Young Aficionado as he wants to be savvy on the best liquors and cigars to serve on the back terrace. He is also working with DeVance Electronic Lifestyle to upgrade the home electronics inside and out of the manor.
But first things first, Dash has decided that under the Christmas tree at the DeVille manor this year will be some key fobs! Danelle and the kids, Dewey and Delilah, are overdue for new wheels, so he is reviewing what The Savvy Drivers have to say. As a present for the whole family, he’s planning to make an investment in international real estate. Looking for a location that they will enjoy today which also is likely to have an upside as an investment / rental he is going to check out Tulum and Placencia in Belize.
