A Brand New Love Story: My Saranghae Skin Care Routine
Back in March when I attended a blogger meet up in New York City, I was so fortunate to meet Susan of The Midlife Fashionista. Not only is she absolutely stunning and full of energy and kindness, but she is one of the most empowering and supportive women I have met. We have followed each other in the blogging community for some time and were already huge fans of one another. I also have a giant soft spot in my heart for her daughter, Alyssa, who writes the blog Lys Takes Flight where she discusses all sorts of topics dealing with mental illness and self care. This girl knows who…

The Sunday Showcase: A Day Late & A History Lesson Short
When my very dear friend Ada of Elegance and Mommyhood asked me to join her and two of my other very dear blogging friends, Chrissy of Granola and Grace and Kellyann of This Blonde’s Shopping Bag, as their co-host once again for their monthly link up, The Sunday Showcase, I couldn’t really say no. These three women, after all, are some of my closest blogging friends in all of the blogging realm and I will support them any chance I get just as they all support me. *This is not a sponsored post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. But then I asked Ada, “Is there…

Weekend Wish List: Ruby Ribbon & Cami Review
Recently, I was introduced to Ruby Ribbon, a new line of shaping camisoles that claim you can ditch your bra. When I see an opportunity for ditching my bra while still having adequate support in the boob area, of course I have to give it a try. I received my two new camisoles a few weeks ago and have been wearing one at least 3 days a week in lieu of a bra. I have to report that I am very, very satisfied with the quality and the support they offer in all the right places. I still am not ready to give up my bras entirely for certain outfits,…

Laughter, Luggage Carts & Link Up On the Edge #93
I dedicate this post to my fabulously creative, wonderfully quirky, brilliantly artistic, and fantastically goofy friend, Anne M. Bray of Spy Girl. Anne, I hope you appreciate how completely odd I really am. For those of you know me personally and probably many of you who know me virtually, you most likely already know that I can have fun just about anywhere at any time under nearly any circumstances. I could have fun in an empty room by myself…now don’t let your minds go all perverted with that idea…but well, you know, I will just leave that one alone. Moving on… One of my main philosophies of life is this:…

Esqido Lashes with Makeover Giveaway & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #70
I am back from my mini vacation in Lake Placid! We took a lot of photos, drank too much alcohol, ate way too much really amazing food, stayed up until the wee morning hours, and had more fun than we could have even anticipated. I am mentally and emotionally recharged, but physically quite tired from all the fun! Isn’t that a great problem to have? I am still organizing photos and thoughts and all that stuff, so you will have to wait for more on my girls’ weekend getaway. Coming soon… *This is a sponsored post. The lashes were provided to me for review by Esqido Lashes and the makeover…

Taking a Blogging Break in Lake Placid & Link Up On the Edge #92
I have been running on nearly empty for quite some time now, pondering and battling with myself whether or not I should take a little blogging break. I love blogging. Sharing my thoughts, my philosophical wonderings, my fashion choices, and everything in between brings me so much joy every day. Reading your comments and your blog posts sends me inspiration when I need it most. I really do love every second of my job. But alas, I am exhausted and it finally hit me hard yesterday…just in time for an already planned girls’ weekend getaway. I had hoped to have scheduled posts ready to go before I left for the…

My Mary Kay Makeover & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #69
They say there is a first time for everything. I say great things happen outside of your comfort zone. So here it is…me going way outside of my comfort zone and doing something I have never done on my blog before…I am going to share a picture of myself without makeup. Brace yourselves for it…I am so not comfortable with this! But if I am going to share my Mary Kay makeover with you all, I guess I need to share my starting point…my face sans makeup! *This is not a sponsored post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. So there it is…I faced my fears…

Ruby Ribbon Lace Leggings
Do you remember a few weeks ago when I shared my Ruby Ribbon wish list? Well, I did order two of the camis, the Lace Full Support Cami in Deep Sea and the Sheer Full Support Cami in Black. They are such a great alternative to bras! Super comfortable, moisture wicking, and supportive! *This is not a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. With my purchase of the two camis, I was eligible to receive $30 off a pair of capri leggings and I chose the Lace Capri Leggings in Black. Let me first tell you that I don’t wear leggings very often at all, but…
