DNA Discoveries & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #63
As I am preparing to head into New York City tomorrow for The Forever Fierce Meet Up, I am writing this post on Monday afternoon sitting at my best friend, Jane’s, dining room table. She lives in my home state of Pennsylvania and has very generously allowed me stay in her spare room while I have been cruising around the tri-state area for the past 3 days reconnecting with some old friends. Today, I decided to just hang at her house and catch up on some blogging work. She is in the other room on her computer working on genealogy projects. *This is not a sponsored post. As always, all…

My Life in Songs
Lately, I have been listening to a lot of music. More than I had in the past 10 years or so. I used to listen to music all the time, then kids came along and my favorite songs were set aside to make room for lullabies and kinder music. I didn’t realize how much I missed the power of music in my life and how many songs have touched me and moved me in so many different ways throughout my life. Recently, I have been allowing some of my favorite songs to speak for me when getting to know new friends, so I thought it would be fun to share…

Guest Post: How To Find the Perfect Wedding Dress for Your Body Type
How To Find the Perfect Wedding Dress for Your Body Type Guest post by Georgia Selih On a day as important as your wedding day, you want to look your absolute best. Not only because you will be in just about a million pictures, but also because you want to focus on the day, your feelings and your partner, as opposed to whether or not your dress is slipping down, rising up or does not fit properly. But unfortunately, the way we’d all love to shop – see something on the model and simply pick it up – doesn’t work in reality. We all have different figures, shapes and sizes…

Inspired by Not Dead Yet Style & Link Up On the Edge #85
So I got this dress from EvaTrends and when I first put it on, I did not look like the model in the product images. Not even close. In reality, I suppose I did not actually expect that I would look anything like the model but I guess I was just kind of hoping I would be so cute. I wasn’t. So I took it off and hung it at the front of my closet waiting for inspiration to hit. *This is a sponsored post. This dress was provided to me for purposes of this blog post.

Making a Success of Your Next Trip to the Hairdresser
*This is contributed content. For something that grows out of your head naturally, hair can be a rather complicated affair. We’re always having to do something with it. We have to wash it regularly to ensure that it is clean and free of dirt, oil, and grease. While some of us naturally have luscious locks and can leave them to dry naturally, the majority of us opt for blow drying and heat styling to curate the perfect look. That’s before we even get on to the host of hair products that we purchase and use on a regular basis for a whole host of reasons: keeping frizz at bay, making…

It’s All in the Details & Ageless Style Link Up
Can I just tell you how excited I was when Debbie of Fashion Fairy Dust reached out to me last month and invited me to join her and the other fabulous ladies of Ageless Style for March’s link up? I did a little happy dance…in my head mostly because I’m not much of a dancer. But I definitely smiled a great giant grin of elation and promptly accepted the invitation with enthusiasm. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the Ageless Style Link Up, it is a monthly blogger collaboration series with a link up where nine of the most stylish and amazing bloggers come together to showcase…

Inspired by Pink Sole & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #62
Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you all had the most amazing weekend! We spent Saturday evening with great friends, eating, drinking, and laughing until snorts were heard! Yeah, that would have been me. I might have even peed my pants a little. And nearly sprayed wine out of my mouth when an unexpected guffaw caught me off guard. But hey, if you can’t be ridiculous in front of your closest friends, what’s the point really? *This is a sponsored post. This necklace was provided to me for purposes of this post.
