Good Girl Gone Plaid & Link Up On the Edge #276
“It’s Christmas Eve! It’s the one night of the year when we all act a little nicer, we smile a little easier, we cheer a little more. For a couple of hours out of the whole year, we are the people that we always hoped we would be.” Bill Murray Well, I don’t know if I have been a really good girl, but I suppose it depends on who you ask. I do try my very best to lead with love and light, but I am only human and I do fuck up a lot. But I am the first to admit it when I do and I am also…

Tits the Season to Have a Very Merry Sexmas: Celebrating My Boobs
This is a bold post, y’all. A very bold post. Although I have shared about boobs and shown off my own boobs on other virtual platforms and I talk about sex and all the other things that tend to make people uncomfortable, I have never actually placed photos that show my boobs in this space. But I thought about it some and I figured it’s really just boobs. We all have them and we all hide them and I don’t understand why because the boobless gender has no issue flaunting their flat nipples around in public whenever the weather permits it. I am pretty much over that double standard at…

My Holiday Sweater Collection & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #254
Last week, my blogging friend Marsha of Marsha in the Middle shared a really fun and festive post, The Great Christmas Sweater Debate, showcasing her beautiful collection of holiday jumpers. I found myself smiling all the way through as she described each wearable work of art and styled them all for a jolly little collection of Christmas sweater outfits. So I decided that I would put together a similar round up post of my holiday sweater collection. Maybe you will find some inspiration for your own Christmas style this year. If not, I hope you at least find yourself smiling as I did at Marsha’s post! Holiday Corgi Sweater This…

The Thrifty Six are Ringing in the New Year
How did we get to the end of the year so quickly? With the New Year fast approaching, Grace has chosen New Year’s Eve outfits for our thrifty theme this month. Before I get to fashion talk, however, first I am going to share a story, a kind of sad story, about my own New Year’s Eve tradition and it came to be. When it comes to New Year’s Eve, I am very much a homebody. I have always been. I remember New Year’s Eve of 1990. I was 16 and it was the first year that I was invited to a party outside of my own home and I…

6 Ideas for a Feminine Bedroom Makeover
Yesterday, I shared my new hemp bedsheets, so today I am continuing with some ideas for a feminine bedroom makeover. Many people enjoy remodeling the rooms in their homes for a variety of different reasons. You may want to update old furniture and decor to be more modern or you may just have grown bored of your current decor and find a change refreshing. Many women with a great sense of fashion also translate that style into their home decor. We not only express ourselves through how we dress, but the way we maintain and decorate our homes also speaks volumes about our personalities. If you have been considering a…

ATLINIA: Breath of Nature While You Sleep & Link Up On the Edge #275
You might already know how I have been struggling with sleep during these premenopausal years. I am either too hot, too cold, too uncomfortable, too anxious, or in some other way too hormonally imbalanced for proper sleep. So I am always looking for ways to update my sleep environment to be more conducive to a good long healthy night’s sleep. This past summer, I upgraded my comforter to a bamboo one which has really helped to improve my body temperature issues at night. Natural fiber bedding really does have some wonderful sleep and health benefits especially for those of us who struggle with menopause symptoms that effect our sleep. I…

Festive Outfits | December Stylish Monday Link Up
They told me to be festive and I think I heard them say be silly. And somehow I landed in a place that is festively silly, joyfully jubilant, colorfully bold, and ridiculously bouncy. Y’all, I am telling the truth. This outfit literally made me bounce all day…in the way that Tigger does. “Tiggers don’t jump, they bounce!” Tigger, Winnie the Pooh The double pom poms on my head bounced when I bounced, too, and that’s a really fun kind of bounciness that Tigger would appreciate because… “Bouncing is what Tiggers do best!” Tigger, ‘What Tiggers Do Best’ While this outfit really has nothing at all to do with Tigger or…
