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 βBird Fluβ 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 canβt we just sit by the tree, dip a sprinkle cookie into a nice cup of hot chocolate and enjoy the holidays in peace?
Letβs deal with the sprinkle cookies first. As a Real Housewives devotee (almost 20 years in the game π³) it always gives me a lift when one of the girls can knock-it-out-of-the-park with a business endeavor. From Karen Hugerβs Fragrance, to Ramona Singerβs Pinot Grigio, to Cynthia Baileyβs Sunglasses to Lynne Curtinβs Cuff Bracelets - weβve seen a LOT of businesses come and go.

But just one week after launch, it seems Mellisa Gorga has a hit on her hands with Sprinkle by MG.
Itβs 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 - sheβs a Pignoli or bust kinda gal.
Melissa has delivered a perfect housewives product - itβs 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 βpick meβ for going on Call Her Daddy. But between the drones and the sprinkle cookies I havenβt been able to escape her this week. So she will be a satellite corespondent on this post - sad to say.
