Jewel Tones & Your Own Twist Link Up #42
I know today is St. Patrick’s Day when all of the internet is exploding with all things Irish and all things green. But I didn’t want to do what all of the internet is doing today. Instead we are celebrating Jewel Day by putting our own twists on jewel tones. Yes, I ended up in green anyway but that’s only because green is my forever favorite color and emeralds are my favorite gemstone (and my birthstone) so emerald green was the obvious choice for me. Jewel Day is always celebrated on March 13 and it is simply a day to celebrate gemstones and jewelry…by either giving or receiving these gifts!…

Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book! This is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book.

Photos should be submitted to us by the 10th of the month with a few sentences explaining why it is a Good Buy or Good-Bye. The theme for March is Periwinkle and Purple. *If…

Denim for Days | March Stylish Monday Link Up
“You can make jeans and a t-shirt super stylish. It’s what you make of it, you know?” – Phillip Lim It seems like the world of denim has gone completely crazy with an endless amount of styles to suit everyone’s aesthetic and needs. I have gone through many phases of denim love and sometimes hate over the years. There was a time during my grade school years and a time in my 20s when I didn’t own a single pair of jeans. Over the last five years, however, I have become a bit of denim collector. I do believe that I own every style of denim (skinnies, flares, cropped, boyfriend,…

5 Helpful Tips to Quitting Cigarettes & Link Up On the Edge #286
In one of my previous posts, 4 Healthy Lifestyle Changes to Make Now, I shared a few easy ways to help improve your overall health. Living a healthy lifestyle begins with developing healthy habits. If you smoke cigarettes, quitting them would be a great start to making that transition to healthier living.

Different people need different methods to reach the end goal of smoking cessation. There are a variety of methods that you can employ to quit smoking, but keep in mind that some…

Songful Style | “Leather and Lace” by Stevie Nicks and Don Henley & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #264
I must apologize for not getting this post live yesterday as I said I would. I began my 900 mile drive back home from North Carolina before 6:00 a.m. on Monday and arrived home just before noon on Tuesday. I thought I would sit down and write it then, but after unpacking all of my things and getting back into the parenting routine at home I was just too darn tired. I will share more about my trip next week once I get myself a bit more organized. For now, let me share more inspiration for March’s Songful Style prompt. About Songful Style Songful Style is a new ageless style…
