Inspired by This Blonde’s Shopping Bag: Plaid Blazer & White Booties
First, I have to tell you that I adore Kellyann of This Blonde’s Shopping Bag. I don’t know how long ago it was that she and I found each other in the grand wilderness of blogland, but we became fast blogger friends right from the first introduction. It is funny how you can never meet a person in real life but still have about a million things in common. And one thing, for sure, that Kellyann and I have in common is our love for shopping, all things fashion, and apparently plaid blazers and white booties. When white booties really hit the trend scene last year, I was hesitant at…

Aligning My Chakras & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #104
I needed some focus. I needed to let go of toxicity. I needed fulfillment. I needed to reignite my passion. I needed some spiritual healing. I needed a universal realignment. And I needed to take action to get it done. And so my adventures in the healing arts has begun. A new year. A new attitude. A new approach. A new willingness to try new things in the interest of self-examination and self-improvement. A new way to become centered and reconnected with the Life Source that drives us forward, onward, and upward. That universal energy. It only responds when we connect to it. And it is our responsibility to open ourselves…

Jumping Into the New Year
With the coming of the new year so many people are ready for a fresh start. I have never been one to let an arbitrary date on the calendar influence my desire for self-improvement. For me, every day is a gift of a new opportunity to do better than the day before. To learn more, give more, show more kindness and gratitude. Oftentimes, it is the beginning of Autumn that triggers me to reevaluate my life and my goals and it was around that time that I began making lots of changes with regard to healthier lifestyle habits. The first week of December marked a major commitment when I began…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #17: Citrus Bowl Loss Sours McSorley’s Final Game
Welcome to the seventeenth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! Turning it over now to my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback, with a recap of last week’s Citrus Bowl where our beloved Penn State faced off against Kentucky. Citrus Bowl Loss Sours McSorley’s Final Game #14 Kentucky Wildcats 27 – #12 Penn State Nittany Lions 24 The final game of Trace McSorley’s career was supposed to end with another 10 win season, the chance to break 10,000 career passing yards and give Penn State its third consecutive 10 win season…a feat that hasn’t happened since the 1980-82 seasons and never since the Nittany Lions joined the Big Ten Conference. Unfortunately,…

Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Coats and Outerwear
Happy New Year! I had a nice little break from blogging and engaged in lots of rest and relaxation which was much needed. I literally sat around for 4 straight days and binge watched Netflix. Guilt-free. Then I got some blogging ideas somewhat organized for the month and planned some other life goals and strategies. In the middle of it all, I remembered that I needed to post a quick reminder for the upcoming Good Buy/Good-Bye Book! So here it is… In just 10 days, Nancy and I will be posting the eleventh edition of The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book and we would love for you all to join us! The theme…

The Fab 40’s Take On the End of the World
I have this song stuck in my head… Released 31 years ago and it is still relevant. Although I suppose any apocalyptic prognostication is always befitting as we live in a world that tends to feed off of ominous predictions of a doomsday coming. However, I never was one to contemplate the end of the world coming in some grand disastrous event. After all, if and when it happens, there really is not much any of us will be able to do to counteract the result. And it seems that it has been a long time coming anyway. Just like life itself, from the moment we are born, we immediately…

The Holiday Series 2018-Happy New Year & Link Up On the Edge #126
As I sit drafting this post on Christmas Day, I am feeling like a much overdue blogging break is needed here on the edge. With that I am going to share my second to last outfit of 2018, the final post in Ada’s Holiday Series (featuring our New Year’s Eve looks), the final link up of the year, and my final thoughts until I return back to my regular blogging schedule some time next week. I will be posting on December 31 with The Fab 40’s and it’s a really fun theme this month, so be sure to check that one out. Then I will begin my short blogging hiatus.…

So Many Blessings & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #103
While I am grateful every day for the blessings in my life, the holidays tend to bring on an overload of emotions. Lately, I have been feeling overwhelmed by love coming at me from so many directions. This type of abundant love used to make me question if I deserved it all, but I have reached a point in my life when I can accept it with gratitude and acknowledgement that I do deserve all the blessings in my life. I know that I am not unique in my journey that has included many struggles and pain and heartache and loss. I know that I am not unique in my…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #16: Record Setting Day for Army
Welcome to the sixteenth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! Turning it over now to my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback with a recap of yesterday’s Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl where Army faced off against Houston. Record Setting Day for Army Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl #22 Army Black Knights 70 – Houston Cougars 14 In a game that Army was supposed to be the underdog, they were anything but during this record setting day at the Armed Forces Bowl. Coming into the game at 10-2, Army was looking for its first ever 11 win season since the Service Academy started playing football in 1890. The senior class for…

Casual Holiday Outfit with Foxcroft & Link Up On the Edge #125
Back in October, I had won a giveaway hosted by one of my favorite style icons, Dawn Lucy of Fashion Should Be Fun, and the prize was a $250 shopping spree from Foxcroft. I quickly added 5 gorgeous pieces to my shopping list and received them early in November. I featured two pieces in a Sunday Morning Quarterback post but have been saving the other 3 pieces for some festive holiday styling. As much as I love velvet, I actually have not worn much of it this season. I fell in love with the cabernet color of the Elena Luxe Velvet Tunic and the cute pleats on the back. The velvet…
