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.

My Humble Writings on New York Fashion Week
Recently, I added a freelance writing gig to my already very busy blogging schedule, but I do love to write and I really love to get paid for my words! I mean, who doesn’t like a paycheck in exchange for doing something that you already love doing? So I began doing some writing for a website called Gorgeous Girl. I have been contributing articles on fashion, beauty, and skin care and dabbling a tiny bit in the realm of celebrity news (that is not really my thing, but I gave it a try anyway). *This is a sponsored post. This kimono was provided to me for purposes of this blog.…

Strong Like Me & Link Up On the Edge #83
If you missed my post last night, The Evolution of Love, you may want to hop back and read that now. Because that post triggered a pretty intense philosophical discussion with a very dear friend on the topic of strength and vulnerability which in turn inspired this post. And then this meme randomly appeared in my Instagram feed today… And of course, inspiration has this way of hitting me in the most unexpected ways. Actually this week, it has kind of been pelting me like a hail storm. I’m getting emotionally tired, in all honesty. Feeling a bit bruised and battered. But when the inspiration hits, no matter how exhausted…

The Evolution of Love
*This post is inspired by everyone I have ever known in my lifetime and everything I have ever loved. The concept of love is a tricky one, isn’t it? It changes throughout time with each and every relationship, with every new encounter and experience in our lives. As we grow and evolve and change, our entire understanding of the meaning of this word changes. It changes as the context changes, it changes as the object changes, it changes as the subject changes. It is both subjective and objective while at the same time being neither. It just keeps changing until we either begin to take it completely for granted and…
