We are skipping into the last days of the holiday season with smiles on our faces and a feeling of dread looming over us. The government is on the brink of a shutdown, Governor Newsom declared a State of Emergency re: the β€œBird Flu” in California and drones have been hovering over the Tri-State area for weeks.

Are these drones mindful? Are they demure? What is really going on and why can’t we just sit by the tree, dip a sprinkle cookie into a nice cup of hot chocolate and enjoy the holidays in peace?

Let’s deal with the sprinkle cookies first. As a Real Housewives devotee (almost 20 years in the game 😳) it always gives me a lift when one of the girls can knock-it-out-of-the-park with a business endeavor. From Karen Huger’s Fragrance, to Ramona Singer’s Pinot Grigio, to Cynthia Bailey’s Sunglasses to Lynne Curtin’s Cuff Bracelets - we’ve seen a LOT of businesses come and go.

β€œJoggers, joggers…it’s more lifestyle…athletic but lifestyle…more September…spring/summer.” ShereΓ¨ Whitfield explaining her β€œShe By Shereè” rollout

But just one week after launch, it seems Mellisa Gorga has a hit on her hands with Sprinkle by MG.

It’s a callback to when Melissa had the nerve to give her sister-in-law Teresa Guidance a plate of sprinkle cookies. Teresa was deeply offended and threw them in the trash - she’s a Pignoli or bust kinda gal.

Melissa has delivered a perfect housewives product - it’s nostalgic, affordable, a great gift and Bethenny Frankel approved.

Sidenote - since the election I have unfollowed Bethenny on all platforms. She never said who she was voting for and called Kamala a β€œpick me” for going on Call Her Daddy. But between the drones and the sprinkle cookies I haven’t been able to escape her this week. So she will be a satellite corespondent on this post - sad to say.
