As I was coming up for the title of my post all I could think of were some key phrases... Calgon Take Me Away Shopping's Best Kept Secret A Lifesaver of a Website Where Were You All This Time .... does that give you any indication as to how wonderful this site has been for me? Am I talking about fabulous shoes? No. Designer purses? Nope. Gorgeous jewelry? Nah. How bout a place that will give me the BEST hair and nail tips? Not … [Read more...]

Personal Assistant Givaway
Happy Monday Morning! Super excited to start your week with a super special intro! I want you to meet my newest sponsor, Val and the gals at The Riley Group. This couldn't have come at a better time, if you ask me, because TIME is what it's all about. via What just happened this past weekend? Daylight savings time. And with that... we LOST an hour of time. *sigh* Don't we wish we had more of that? Helllllooooo? … [Read more...]
Girl – Friends
Boys, if you are reading this, I want you to continue to read. This message is for the girls, but you guys can listen, too. It might come in handy if your woman needs advice. Being a girl, a highly sensitive one at that, I've learned a few things in my 29 + a few extra years. I think with age comes wisdom. And this past week, I grew a year older. And based upon my years, the people who've come into my life this far, past and present, I … [Read more...]
White Jeans and Pony Hair
Who said white jeans are just for summer? Not true. I paired up a pair of Target winter white jeans with a black "leather" stripe with this fun pony-hair sweatshirt. That sweatshirt is WAY thick and warm, so I saved this one for a brrrrrrr cold day! (Are you guys SICK of this coat yet??? Well, I gotta say, it has been my most FAVORITE buy of the season! I wear it ALL the time … [Read more...]
White Linens
I've often said it's the little things that can make a difference in a space. Or even just one element can make or change the feel of things. I have always been a lover of white linens. When I got married, I registered white towels and bed sheets. That was a LONG time ago, and I still feel the same now as I did then. It is that single simple element of the color of your linens that can totally transform the feel of your bathroom. Think … [Read more...]
Napkin Wisdom
This week has been full of emotional roller coaster for me. It doesn't help that I'm a HIGHLY sensitive and emotional person, so I internalize lots of things that might not even affect me (a big reason why I really try to not watch the news, because I'll be crying after the first 10 minutes!). But what it does do is help me put things into perspective. I had some super highs about the same time I hit some lows. Crazy, huh? So think … [Read more...]
Honestly Healing
True story... (not that any of my stories are UNtrue... just sayin...) I received a message a few days ago that gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes. I had to share this with all of you because I'm passing this message on as an unbiased product review from one person who wished to remain anonymous, but clearly it's something so small that made such a difference in her world. Let's call my friend "Sue". Sue is a middle aged … [Read more...]
The Basic Black Dress… on SALE
A staple in every woman's wardrobe I think should be a basic black dress. There is a section in my closet actually JUST for my black dresses. It's one of those classic items that depending on how you accessorize it, you can wear it to almost anything. Pair it with fabulous jewelry, your shoes, your bag, the way you style your hair... the basic black dress is your classic canvas to do something as casual or as formal as your occasion calls … [Read more...]
From the Archives: What’s in a label?
We had a teeny tiny peek of spring like weather not long ago, which means warmer weather is just around the corner. And for ME, I know that means MORE SKIN will be showing! YIKES! Scary! HA! Time to REALLY get that laser beam focus on the diet and get as swimsuit ready as we can. So I thought I'd share some healthy advice from the archives.... Do you read the labels on the foods you eat? And make your decision to eat it or buy it … [Read more...]
