Pulitzer needed to hide all the juice stains on her clothes, though. Instead of just putting on an apron, she asked her seamstress to make some sleeveless dresses in colorful fruit prints, and a … [Read more...]

So saving money is always a thing for me (especially if I get a great deal on it!). Well, dear friend Kecia introduced me to something last year that was A-MAZING. Remember this? from … [Read more...]
