Amidst all the hype of Black Friday, an influx of emails of SALE mail, and now this new Brown Thursday (which is a NEW term, where stores open on Thursday (yes ON Thanksgiving), and are literally open a full 24 hours to get a head start on Black Friday...

I find it very REFRESHING to enjoy the likes of keeping it local and shopping … [Read more...]

Whiter Teeth
This is one of those simple posts that makes you say WOW how simple is that. Truly it is, and I didn't realize I was doing it until so many people had pointed out my teeth to me.

So that's not what the key is to this simple easy beauty secret that ANYONE can use, literally ANYONE. Are you ready? My toothpaste that I feel gets the job … [Read more...]
Zara in Greece and Fish
I'd like to call this a Flashback Friday post because I'm thinking back to some recent days of shopping in the mother land.

Pinning Catch Up
I was gone for a good part of the summer, and while I was away, I was selective with how I spend my time on the internet.

And it really is a destresser because it's a pretty mindless action to just scroll and pin.. scroll and pin. I mean, who doesn't like to look at … [Read more...]
Paris Fashion on the Streets, Part 1
I was SO taken by Paris and as I had said before SO overstimulated, I was taken by every sight, every smell, every sound. And of course, fashion is definitely a huge part of that.
