Outfits of the Day #ootd
I love to put together outfits. I find something calming and exciting in the process. And if I think I look good, I tend to feel great! Hopefully, you can find some inspiration here for feeling amazing in your own body.

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. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. On Sunday, the husband and I headed out in…

Fabulous Link Ups Where I Link Up & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #61
Blog parties and link ups are a great way to network within the blogging community. They are a wonderful avenue to discovering amazing blogs that you may not otherwise have found in the seemingly endless ocean of blogs on the internet. As of 2017, it was estimated that there are over 440 million blogs worldwide. So how in the world do you tap into your favorites in a niche that is interesting and beneficial to you? *This is not a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. I mean, you can’t possibly read them all. You can’t even read all the ones in your favorite genre. Actually,…

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…

Women’s Heart Health Month & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #60
Although National Wear Red Day has passed (it was February 2), the entire month of February has been designated National Heart Health Month as a reminder for everyone to focus on their hearts and get their friends and families involved in this awareness initiative towards prevention. While National Heart Health Month is an American designated month of awareness, it is important to recognize that cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke, is the leading cause of death worldwide. Heart disease knows no boundaries and can strike anyone anywhere in the world. In an effort to do our part in raising awareness, Ada of Elegance and Mommyhood, with her kind heart…

Get BetterHelp and Find Your Happiness & Link Up On the Edge #82
I am very excited and so honored to be able to announce a new partnership here at Shelbee on the Edge. If you have been following me for some time or know me personally, then you are familiar with the story of my mental health journey which has brought me to this amazing place where I sit right now…healthy, happy, and ready to help others on their journeys in any way that I can. By sharing my story and all of it’s ugliness, all of my failures and dark places, and how I managed to save myself from that darkness, gives me the sense that my struggle was not in…

The Fine Line Called Friendship
Friends are a necessary part of life. Friendships are a required human relationship among social and communal beings. Few can get through the journey of life without having friends. The amount of friends we acquire in life is unique to each individual. Just as unique as the type of friendships we develop with different people. Certain types of friends are temporary, serving a specific purpose at a precise point in our lives. Other types of friends are much more permanent, remaining steadfast throughout all of the changes we each endure in a lifetime. Even the permanent types of friends may come and go, being more present at certain times and…
