Snow Leopard with EvaTrends & Link Up On the Edge #122
Leopard print is one of those patterns that has become a staple and a requirement in every fashionista’s closet. Over the past few years I have really grown to love this particular animal print above all other animal prints. Although I am very fond of cow prints as well, but that is much more difficult to acquire on clothing and shoes. I suppose no woman really wants to be draped in a print that could possibly elicit comments such as you look like a cow. But I do very much crave a pair of fuzzy cow print boots for some reason. So if anyone ever spots such a thing, please…

Wednesday’s Quote of the Week: The Good Life
Yesterday, I wrote a post about Good Life Healing Arts & Gift Shop, and while I was searching for quotes to share in conjunction with that post, I found an abundance of wise words about living the good life. So it seemed an appropriate theme for today’s Quote of the Week post. All about living the good life. “Life is good when we think it’s good. Life is bad when we don’t think.” -Douglas Horton And isn’t that exactly how we attain the good life? It is a good life when we think it’s good. And when we choose not to think at all, when we choose not to count…

The Good Life & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #99
I have read a lot of articles in the past 5 years or so that have addressed the issue of how difficult it becomes to make new friends the older we get. I have watched my 5 year old meet a new kid on the playground and when they discover one tiny thing they have in common, they instantly become best friends. And I have made comments like “Wouldn’t that be nice if it were that easy for adults?” Well, you know what I am discovering lately? It actually is that easy. For real. I have made a lot of new friends recently, right here in the middle of my…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #12: Chaos Reigns During Rivalry Week
#12 Penn State Nittany Lions 38 – Maryland Terrapins 3 Welcome to the twelfth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! I finally invested in some new fan gear with this cute Penn State fleece that I found in my local Target in Northern New York, which is a really weird place to find Penn State fan gear. But I sure am happy to have it. It is super comfortable and very warm for this snow covered place. Turning it over now to my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback. Rivalry week is the final week of the reguar season of college football. This week traditionally pits long time rivals against each…

Stay Hydrated with Copper H2O & Link Up On the Edge #121
A few weeks ago, I was introduced to the benefits of drinking water from a copper bottle by an amazing company, Copper H2O. The theory of “tamra jal”, which is based in Ayurvedic medicine, states that infusing the positive health properties of copper into our drinking water will balance the three doshas in your body (vata, kapha, and pitta). Eastern societies have been storing their drinking water in copper vessels for centuries because the copper will naturally alkalinize the water stored within it. Consuming natural alkaline water will help balance the pH of our bodies which leads to many different health benefits. After having a wonderful and very informative telephone…

A Girl Walked into Another Bar & Food for Thought this Thanksgiving Day
A girl walked into another bar. A different bar from the last time. This time she walked in alone. Because she was invited there. A few weeks had passed and there was simply silence with regard to the guy she met in the bar on that random Wednesday night. Now on a random Monday night, as she was lying on her couch watching sentimental romance movies, contentedly enjoying the peace and bliss of her own quiet solitude, she received an unexpected text message from an unidentifiable phone number that simply stated, “I’m in town. At the hotel bar.” Without a doubt, she knew who sent the message and her heart…

Wednesday’s Quote of the Week & A Thanksgiving Outfit
Thanksgiving 2017Since tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the United States, I wanted to share a quote about giving thanks and gratitude. So I typed in a quick Google search (this is, after all, how one finds inspirational quotes these days) for “quotes about gratitude”. There were countless wonderful quotes speaking to this topic, many are quite well known, like this one … “Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” —Oprah Winfrey And this one… “I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness – it’s right in front of me if I’m…

Welcome to the second post in this series six holiday posts coordinated by the lovely Ada of Elegance and Mommyhood. Last week, thirteen bloggers joined together to bring you Thanksgiving Outfit Inspiration and this week nine bloggers have joined together with our Black Friday shopping looks. I won’t be shopping at all on Black Friday since I will be pulling double shifts between Solitary Consignment (10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m) and Torrid (5:30 p.m. until 10:30 p.m.).
