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.

Nomadic State of Mind & Link Up On the Edge #297
Yesterday was Jeff’s birthday and I shared the awesome Jerry Garcia pipe that I found on Etsy for him and gave to him a few days early. My birthday is on Monday and I also gave myself a gift a few days early so I am going to share them today. These rope sandals from Nomadic State of Mind are seriously the most amazing shoes I have ever put on my feet. Let me tell you how I found them and give you my honest review. I was in need of some new sandals for summer festival season so I searched online for best hippie sandals and stumbled across Nomadic…

Styling My Mother’s Day Gifts & Link Up On the Edge #296
Happy Friday, y’all! Today I wanted to share with you the gorgeous gifts I received from my boys for Mother’s Day this year. Jeff took the boys to Rainbow Zen, my favorite store for all things bohemian and hippie, and he let them choose some things that they thought I would like. It is not a difficult task, however, to find things that I would like in Rainbow Zen since I like everything in that store. You can see some of the clothing and home decor items that I have purchased there if you just search “Rainbow Zen” on my blog. The boys went shopping the day before Mother’s Day…

Star Wars & Your Own Twist Link Up #44
Star Wars Day was celebrated two weeks ago on May 4 by Star Wars fans in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and several other nations around the world. The inspiration for choosing May 4 as the official Star Wars Day celebration comes from the popular line used by Jedi Masters in the Star Wars movies. “May the force be with you” has been punned right into the official Star Wars Day greeting, “May the fourth be with you”. Since the release of the first Star Wars film in 1977, fans became so obsessed that May 4 quickly caught on as the unofficial day for celebrating all things Star…

The Thrifty Six are Ballerina Inspired
It was Nancy’s turn to choose our thrifty style theme for May and she really threw me for a loop with Ballerinas. Although I do love a good tulle skirt, I have never really been a ballerina type of girl. In fact, I have only allowed myself to start dancing where other people can see me in the last few years. Before that, just the idea of dancing any dance was completely out of my comfort zone. Maybe I would bounce around my house a little here and there, but in public places I would merely sit and watch all the other people having a great time moving their bodies…

The Value of Settling into Your Own Style
For many people, fashion is a means of expressing who they are and how they are feeling as well as making a visual statement of their personal taste. I can give you a list of reasons about how redemptive fashion is to the spirit, why it is so important, how it can help us look at ourselves in a new light, why it allows you to relate to others better, and how investing in yourself and your appearance is important. But if you simply just want to look good for the sake of looking good, that is also a good enough reason for settling into your own personal style. You…

My Favorite Loungewear with the Apron That Keeps It Clean & Link Up On the Edge #294
I have been wanting to share my favorite tie dye loungewear and this vibrant linen apron for a few months but I have just been so busy recently that these photos sort of ended up being forgotten. But then I remembered them! And since I am still lounging in these same tie dye leggings, tee shirt hoodie, and cardigan and I am still cooking in my vibrant linen teal apron, I might as well get sharing now. First let me tell you about my new linen apron. Do you remember my hemp and cotton sheet set from Atlinia that I shared back in December? Well, those sheets are still as…

Happy Birthday! I Got a New Car!
It’s not my birthday for another 25 days but it was time for a new car. We traded in my little white Toyota Corolla for this dark blue Toyota Highlander which arrived last week just in time to kick off the May Birth Month celebrations! We kick off Birth Month on May 1 with Archie’s and my father-in-law’s shared birthday. Then Jeff and I close out the month with our birthdays on May 26 and May 30. And there is a whole bunch of other friend and family birthdays happening in between during the very merry month of May. So let me take this opportunity to wish all of my…

Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Birds and Feathers & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #272
Spring has finally sprung in the cold North Country where I live and the birds are singing us awake as the sun begins to rise earlier and earlier now. To celebrate our flying friends that bring the hopes of a new season to life, we are sharing all things avian this month. It can be bird prints or motifs or feathery things or perhaps you even have wings that you sometimes like to wear. Whatever it is that reminds you of birds, do come share it with us for May’s Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. What is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book? It is a monthly series that Nancy and I both publish on our…
