How to Implement Interior Décor Elements into Your Personal Style
An undeniably strong bridge has always existed between how interior designers work and how the fashion industry overlaps with home décor. However, in recent years, this connection has evolved to the point where one is significantly influencing the other. Today, fashion is not just about the outfits we wear. Fashion portrays our personal style in conjunction with all of the things we like in addition to our clothing choices, the things we surround ourselves with in our homes, our vehicles, and our work spaces. High profile fashion designers and popular clothing brands are adding home lines to their fashion collections. Simultaneously, they are drawing inspiration from the interior design world…

I Did a Scary Thing & Link Up On the Edge #170
For months, I have been wrestling with the idea of expanding my own personal body positive mission. I feel so very passionate about empowering and inspiring women (and men) to find their way to healthy self love, to appreciate and celebrate our bodies for the miracles that they are. When the idea first came to me, I started sharing my message and some nude photography on Patreon. But I quickly realized that forum was not the best for me. I began there because I felt safe with my content locked behind a paywall. And it was safe. Very safe. For no one ever saw any of it except Anne M.…

Inspired by Pinterest & Carson: Colorful Tights
Carson might kill me for putting his name right there in the title of my post. All big and bold and glaring you in the face. Or maybe he won’t. I guess I’ll find out when he reads it. But I had to do it. Because he really did inspire this outfit. In case you are asking, “Who the heck is Carson?”, you can just go to the search bar here on my blog and type his name. It will bring you directly to every post where he has been mentioned. You can even see his face in some of the posts. So now, how did my friend inspire this…

More Music That Moves Me: The Jakobs Ferry Stragglers & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #147
Remember back in July, I introduced you to this amazingly talented and beautiful fiddling gal, Libby, whom I met at the Busy Bird Bluegrass Festival? Well, that post was about My Bluegrass Summer in general and it is high time that I dedicate an entire post to Libby and her captivating band, The Jakobs Ferry Stragglers. Upon our first meeting which was quite magical, I had no idea that we would become fast friends. Libby, myself, and the rest of her band. This festival world really is something else. I have made so many wonderful friends just this past summer making my way around the Bluegrass circuit. I feel so…

The Sunday Afternoon Quarterback #9: No Such Thing as Beginner’s Luck in Fantasy Football
Penn State is off this week so I am giving Jeff the week off from writing. But I wanted to give a brief update on my history with football as well as my rookie season in Fantasy Football. My friend Carson asked me if I would join his Fantasy Football League this year because they needed more people to get it going. I was hesitant at first because not only do I not understand how these fantasy leagues and their rules and scoring systems work, I don’t even understand how football works! However, this summer I decided to make it my mission to try new things. So when the opportunity…
