October has been a fun month at Dukes and Duchesses!  Along with all of the things I’ve been creating and sharing in this space, last week I flew out to L.A. for a couple of days to film a segment for FABLife, the daytime lifestyle show hosted by Tyra Banks, Joe Zee, Chrissy Teigen, Leah Ashley, and Lauren Makk on ABC.  My segment on Last Minute DIY Halloween Costumes will air today so check your local listings for times and watch the show … or watch the YouTube version below!  The whole experience was so fun and I felt so blessed to have the opportunity.
