A Plea to Mother Nature & Link Up On the Edge #81
Dear Mother Nature, I am not entirely sure who has wronged you so, but you are fighting back with a vengeance and I am merely getting caught in the cross fire of your mad flinging of snow. I just wanted to let you know that I am sorry for whatever has made you so inexplicably angry. I also want to say that you sure are beautiful when you’re pissed. But how much prettier you would be if you just calmed down a little and let go of whatever grudge you are holding. *This is a sponsored post.

The Struggle is Real & Link Up On the Edge #80
First, before I talk about the struggle, I want to introduce you all to Sherry of The Life of the Party who is co-hosting the link up with me today. If you don’t know Sherry, here is a brief introduction in her own words. “I started The Life of the Party as a way to document past parties for my children, family and close friends and it’s since morphed into a fashion and interior design and healthy lifestyle blog. I’m very passionate about design and find my brain constantly swimming with ideas of new and interesting color combinations and mixing of fabric textures and patterns. This blog has turned my passion…

Polka Dots, Unicorns, and Link Up On the Edge #79
So you all know from my post yesterday that I am currently obsessing over all things unicorn. And you should also know by now that I have always obsessed over all things polka dotted. So today, I am going to share with you my new polka dotted dress and unicorn iPhone case as well as a little round up fun quotes. (Yes, this is my way of saying I am completely overwhelmed right now so I am cheating and giving you quotes.

Give Yourself a Boost & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #56
Female breasts are amazing things, aren’t they? They torment us at puberty in one way or another. They grow too fast making us the center of unwanted attention. Or they don’t grow quick enough making us envious of those lucky girls who get them early. As we begin menstruation and the inevitable PMS begins to wreak havoc on our bodies, they can become tender and cause us pain. As we become sexually active beings, our breasts become the objects of desire for our male (as well as female) counterparts. When we enter our child-bearing years and begin having children, they become the source of nourishment for our babies. In our…

How To Style a Kimono for Winter (Part 1) & Link Up On the Edge #78
“Colorful garments – ball gowns, kimonos, evening pajamas – made from yards upon yards of iridescent silk or velvet. I own an unjustifiable number of such outfits and jump at the chance to wear them. Against the etiquette about which I am otherwise all too conscious, I frequently, and unrepentantly, overdress for the occasion.” –Julia Glass *This is a sponsored post. This kimono was provided to me by Rosegal for purposes of my blog. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. *Kimono: Tribal Argyle Printed Plus Size Maxi Robe Coat c/o Rosegal.

Wear the Red on Your Pants Not on Your Skin This Winter & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #55
Okay. That might be the corniest blog post title ever in the history of blogging. I was trying to be clever and it simply didn’t work. But like I discussed the other day, sometimes you need to just a take a chance and see what happens. So there it is…my chance for today. My attempt at forcing two unlike things into one blog post. So if you haven’t already clicked away from my page shaking your head in dismay and silently saying, “This woman is odd. I’m outta here,” then keep reading and I will get to my point as quickly as I can. *This is not a sponsored post.…

It’s Not Always About How Good You Are & Link Up On the Edge #77
On December 6, 2016, Jennifer Hudson took the top 8 finalists of The Voice Season 12 on a Hairspray Live! tour. I remember watching this episode of the The Voice and the words of advice that she gave to these 8 aspiring singers. Her words have stuck with me ever since because they do not just apply to the music industry. They apply to life in general. And I have been doing my darnedest to adhere to the motivating words of Jennifer Hudson in everything I do. “It’s not always about how good you are, but how good you are to work with. If you are good to work with,…
