Casual Holiday Outfit with Foxcroft & Link Up On the Edge #125
Back in October, I had won a giveaway hosted by one of my favorite style icons, Dawn Lucy of Fashion Should Be Fun, and the prize was a $250 shopping spree from Foxcroft. I quickly added 5 gorgeous pieces to my shopping list and received them early in November. I featured two pieces in a Sunday Morning Quarterback post but have been saving the other 3 pieces for some festive holiday styling. As much as I love velvet, I actually have not worn much of it this season. I fell in love with the cabernet color of the Elena Luxe Velvet Tunic and the cute pleats on the back. The velvet…

It’s the Little Things with EvaTrends & Link Up On the Edge #124
“Perfect happiness is a beautiful sunset, the giggle of a grandchild, the first snowfall. It’s the little things that make happy moments, not the grand events. Joy comes in sips, not gulps.” -Sharon Draper “Joy comes in sips, not gulps.” My word, isn’t that the truth? In the past few weeks, I have been sipping away like a delighted young child who has not yet been scarred by the harshness of living. I have been enjoying each and every moment of abundant bliss and have been allowing myself to indulge in all the “little things that make happy moments”. And like I child, I really do get ridiculously excited over…

Thoughts About Plaid with EvaTrends & Link Up On the Edge #123
It is no secret that I adore plaid and that I love the selection of clothing from EvaTrends. So when I was asked to collaborate with them by sharing 3 items of my choosing, I simply could not resist this adorable Plaid Leisure Dress. The last EvaTrends dress I shared was all about the leopard print, another favorite pattern of mine. But leopard is a print that I had to grow to love whereas I think I came into this world with a strong affection for all things plaid. There is just something about the lines and colors of a tartan that make me feel nostalgic for a time that…

Snow Leopard with EvaTrends & Link Up On the Edge #122
Leopard print is one of those patterns that has become a staple and a requirement in every fashionista’s closet. Over the past few years I have really grown to love this particular animal print above all other animal prints. Although I am very fond of cow prints as well, but that is much more difficult to acquire on clothing and shoes. I suppose no woman really wants to be draped in a print that could possibly elicit comments such as you look like a cow. But I do very much crave a pair of fuzzy cow print boots for some reason. So if anyone ever spots such a thing, please…

Stay Hydrated with Copper H2O & Link Up On the Edge #121
A few weeks ago, I was introduced to the benefits of drinking water from a copper bottle by an amazing company, Copper H2O. The theory of “tamra jal”, which is based in Ayurvedic medicine, states that infusing the positive health properties of copper into our drinking water will balance the three doshas in your body (vata, kapha, and pitta). Eastern societies have been storing their drinking water in copper vessels for centuries because the copper will naturally alkalinize the water stored within it. Consuming natural alkaline water will help balance the pH of our bodies which leads to many different health benefits. After having a wonderful and very informative telephone…

Talking to Dead People & Link Up On the Edge #120
On Wednesday night, I was invited to join a group of nine other women to meet at a friend’s house for a little spiritual fun with a local psychic/medium. I had never met with a psychic or a medium before and I found the idea of it to be quite fascinating. Ever since my parents passed away, 24 and 12 years ago, their spirits have always been a very strong presence in my life, so the idea of a person who quite literally talks to dead people intrigued me. So I agreed to join the party. Being the novice that I am on matters of channeling the spiritual world, I…

A Girl Walked into a Bar & Link Up On the Edge #119
You know that old philosophy that people come into your life for a reason? Everyone has a purpose to serve within each encounter and each relationship. What that purpose is will differ with each individual dynamic and each separate event. Some people will push you. Some will challenge you. Some will question you. Some will teach you. Some will frustrate the hell out of you. Some will bring you pleasure. Some will bring you pain. Some will enrich you. Some will empower you. Some will feed your intellect. Some will fuel your soul. Some will hate you with a passion. And some will love you with no bounds. So many…

Running on Empty & Link Up On the Edge #118
I had big goals today. Again. And my energy level did not meet my ambition level. Again. And I have tons of work that needs to get done. Again. And there are not enough hours in the day. Again. And I know that my little sob story here is not unique or strange or different. It is the world we all live in and the cycles we all pass through. So you can relate, I’m sure. So bear with me whilst I continue on my whiny way… I have much to write that needs writing. Topics of great importance to me that are becoming clearer in my head and prime…

Just an Outfit Post & Link Up On the Edge #117
I have had a lot of deep wonderings going through my head of late and I am struggling with ways to articulate them. I want to share these thoughts because it helps me to process some of it. Sharing it also helps me to gain new perspective and a better understanding when I am feeling somewhat confused by my own silly brain. I think it also makes fun topics for discussion. But the problem is my inability to adequately express what I want to say. So for now, there apparently seems to be just meaningless chaos floating around in my mind until I can properly sort it all out into…

Too Much BRAma and the Truth About Women’s Breasts & Link Up On the Edge #116
I am sure you are all well aware by now that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, or more accurately, National Breast Health Awareness Month. One of my favorite companies, Ruby Ribbon, which specializes in developing comfortable and supportive alternatives to uncomfortable bras, has recently conducted a nationwide survey to discover women’s personal views, loves, and disappointments about their breasts and their options in bras. These survey findings are perfectly timed in conjunction with promoting breast health awareness this month. Ruby Ribbon’s first annual “What’s Your BRAma?” survey reached 3,000 respondents who let us know how they really feel about their breasts and bras. Here is the thing about bras…
