This Thursday I needed an escape, to be taken away, taken back to a time of relaxing in the sun in the heat, away from the FREEZING weather, at a time when our minds were at rest. We all know when it rains, it pours. And it might not always be a bad thing, it could very well be good things. But it just happens. And it is what it is. So today I'm rewinding back the hands of time to this past summer.... Where I … [Read more...]
Shoe Storage Solutions
This is a dilemma I have had for a long time. I'll say that this is probably the most organized part of my closet. My shoes. I have had them in boxes with pictures on the front of the clear shoe boxes now for quite some time, and this system has been working ok. However, I've noticed that I'm running out of space. Actually, let me rewind. I already RAN out of space and added MORE shelving to accommodate more shoes and boots, so then now … [Read more...]
Nails: A Quick Fix for Tips
I didn't have a chance to run to the local nail shop to get a manicure this past weekend. And the color choice I selected on my most recent mani was one of theirs, not one I have at home. So I had to deal with the chipping that occurs at the tips after about 10 days, which is the biggest reason I've never been a fan of dark colors (till this past winter). I hate it more than anything. It's one of my big … [Read more...]
A Breakfast Plan for the Week
Being that this is the first Monday of 2014, I decided to share this little bit about myself and found it appropriate, being that probably most people with resolutions of diet and exercise will begin today. Everyone says the most important meal of the day is breakfast and I tend to agree with the experts. Having a good breakfast sets your day off with a good start. You get your metabolism going, you get your energy up, you … [Read more...]

Lazy PJs Kinda Day
I donno who is like me, but I've been LAAAAAAZZZZZZZY beyond LAZZZZZZZZY. I mean, LAZY doesn't describe it enough. I think when we go go go go go, when we have a chance to take a break, we just CRASH. Do I have things to do? um YA. Tons of them. Do I wanna do em? um, NO. I wanna chillax. And while I said I was going to back to you guys AFTER the new year, I had to vent (call this a diary post?), because this is all about me venting, … [Read more...]

Instagram InstaBAM
A Picture is worth 1000 words. Well, clearly, the case is made for that in social media platforms that involve images more than text. Now let me first begin by saying I'm no social media expert, but I am a marketing gal. And all of the platforms I'm a part of, I learn as I go. There was no internet when I grew up, no computers like we have today, I studied marketing (for real, that IS my major) the old fashioned way, and the social media we … [Read more...]
