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.

I Have No Idea What I’m Doing & Link Up On the Edge #155
I have no idea what I’m doing. For real. This has become the natural state of things for me lately. But on the flip side, I do know exactly what I should be doing. And so, with the loving support of my husband, I have made a decision that is scary and intimidating but I think (fingers crossed) it will be much to my benefit in the long term. Let me give you some background…when I was in Asheville a few weeks ago, I felt more creatively inspired than I have in a really, really long time. When I came home, I cycled into a pretty severe depression for that…

The Best of Times in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #132
Have you ever visited Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania? It really is one of the coolest little towns in Pennsylvania. It is a small mountain community in Carbon County with a total area of less than 15 square miles and a population of under 5,000 people. Yet it draws tens of thousands of tourists each year because of its picturesque Victorian beauty and quaint romantic atmosphere. The narrow streets bustle with people dining at the many provocative eateries that offer an eclectic array of culinary choices. There are all sorts of shops imaginable and the local residents who run the businesses in downtown Jim Thorpe all welcome you into their establishments as…

Swim Suit Remix Take 2 & Link Up On the Edge #154
This is the final remix of my two new swim suits from Rosegal. You are probably thinking, “Thank goodness. Enough of her pasty white skin blinding me through my computer screen.” I promise, this will be the end of it seeing as I don’t really going swimming much anyway. I could have combined all four sets of swim suit stylings into one post except I have been working on some other projects and needed the easy extra content to get me through until I really start sharing the good stuff. More on that later. Later meaning next week…maybe. In case you missed the other three swim suit stylings (or maybe…

My Bluegrass Summer & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #131
It seems that maybe I have caught the bluegrass bug. Or just a festival bug in general. It just so happens that I have been stalking bluegrass festivals in my area in the hopes that I can see my favorite band perform live. I described my first experience seeing Fireside Collective perform a few weeks ago and now that I have had that experience, I want more. All of the time. On a whim, I decided to attend the Busy Bird Bluegrass Festival in Berkshire, New York, this past Saturday. The location was just about two hours from my house and I was hesitant about driving by myself and then…

Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Shorts
Today is the day that Nancy and I would normally be posting our monthly installment of The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. But with Summer vacations and travel and very low participation this month, we decided to skip July and post our Shorts theme on August 15 instead. If you have already submitted photos, no worries, we will be sharing them in August. But if you have not yet sent us your submissions, you now have an extra month to do so! August’s Good Buy/Good-Bye Book will be featuring Shorts. I have not worn very many shorts yet this season, so I am going to dig back into the archives of the past year…

Swim Suit Remix Take 1 & Link Up On the Edge #153
Recently I shared my new swim suits from Rosegal and told you how I could mix and match the pieces to create four swim suits from two. So today I want to share the first of the two remixes with you. For this remix, I combined the cobalt blue top from the Polka Dot Halter Bikini with the bottom from the Cat Cartoon Bikini Set. I always like black and white with a nice bright splash of color and the cobalt blue is the perfect blazing shade against my translucent skin! Still no tan here even though we are nearly half way through July. But that’s okay because pale is…

It’s Independence Day & Link Up On the Edge #152
Happy 4th of July from Asheville! I am sitting here in my hotel room this morning with not much planned for today. The traveling kind of wiped me out and then I stayed up way to late on my first night in Asheville. But I had the most wonderful time! As wonderful times often do, it caught up with me last night and I hit the bed early, slept 10 hours, reset myself, and now I am just doing some laundry and figured I would check in on the blogging world while I wait for the dryer to finish doing its thing. I also wanted to share this pretty Feeling…

Welcome to Millheim, Pennsylvania & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #129
I know. I know. I know. I said I was taking a blogging break. And what happens when I finally say it? I get inspired. And I cannot ignore the inspiration when it hits. Any creative person knows this. We live for that moment. We wait for it. We seek it out in all corners of our existence. We exhaust ourselves trying to tap into it. We get tired. We take a break. And it is right inside those breaks where we find our inspiration. You can’t fight against the universe. You just have to succumb. And when you finally do, she delivers in spades. So that’s what I did.…

Summer Sun, Something’s Begun…with Rosegal
Yesterday, I showed you my new cat bikini set from Rosegal, so today I want to share my vintage inspired polka dot bikini. This polka dot bikini gives me all the Sandra Dee and Beach Boys vibes. If you are as hesitant as I was to sport a two piece swim suit, the high waisted bottoms from days of yore are absolutely the way to go! They cover all those places we may not want exposed with just a little hint of skin. The halter style top is also really great for giving support to those of us who are top heavy. I have always had problems with proper fit…
