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.

The Fab 40’s Went Goth
For as long as I can remember, I have always been drawn to different fashion trends, never fitting into one clean little box of style. Throughout the seasons of my life as I have experimented with my own personal style, I have noticed that I favor certain styles more than others. But one genre of fashion that always makes me feel most comfortably like myself is Goth. Not the over the top, spikes and leather and morbid Goth, but a more subtle and tame version of Goth style. When Suzy of Pixie Chick in Portugal chose this month’s theme for The Fab 40’s, my angsty heart from my teenage years…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #8: 4th Quarter Liver Failure
#17 Penn State Nittany Lions 30 – #18 Iowa Hawkeyes 24 Welcome to the eighth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! And here’s my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback, with the highlights from yesterday’s Penn State game against Iowa. 4th Quarter Liver Failure Seriously, my liver cannot handle Penn State 4th quarters this season…Four straight games decided by 6 points or less with a fifth one decided by a touchdown, all coming down to the last series of the game and two that didn’t fall in the Nittany Lions’ favor. Folks, I tell you this season is putting a workout on my liver during Saturday afternoons, along with having to…

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…

Not a Beauty Blogger & Esqido Gel Eyeliner Review
I have never and will never claim that I am a skin care, makeup, or beauty blogger. Not ever. Yes, I have a basic skin care routine that I generally practice. Yes, I apply makeup daily. And yes, I see and praise the beauty in a million different things every single day. But skin care, makeup, and beauty as a topic for writing and photography are just not in my wheelhouse. Not a strength. Not a passion. Not a desire. But every now and then, a brand will reach out to me to try a product in the genre of skin care or makeup. And every now and then, I…

Another Plaid Dress with Another Halftee
Do you remember the gray plaid dress I wore to the pumpkin patch about a week and a half ago with a black Halftee? Well, just in case you don’t remember, let me quickly refresh you about this wonderful layering option in women’s fashion. Halftee is a product that was created by Wyoming native, Amanda Barker, in an effort to reduce the bulk of layered clothing while maintaining a put together look with all the essential layering qualities like cute necklines peeking out from beneath dresses and tops. Halftees fit with the perfect amount of snugness to keep things smooth and in place underneath your clothes. No bunching, no scrunching, no…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #7: An Ugly Win is Still a Win
#18 Penn State Nittany Lions 33 – Indiana Hoosiers 28 Welcome to the seventh episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! And here’s my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback, with the highlights from yesterday’s Penn State game against Indiana. An Ugly Win is Still a Win Following consecutive losses to Ohio State and Michigan State, a game against Indiana may have been what the doctor ordered to right the Nittany Lions season. Sporting a 20-1 career record against the Hoosiers, they seemed like the perfect opponent to get the team ready for a brutal three week stretch coming up against Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin, all of whom are ranked in the…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #6: A Career Day Still Ends in Defeat
Michigan State Spartans 21 – #8 Penn State Nittany Lions 17 Welcome to the sixth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! And here’s my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback, with another disappointing recap of yesterday’s game. A Career Day Still Ends in Defeat What started as a career day for quarterback Trace McSorley ended in a stinging defeat for the #8 Nittany Lions. For a second consecutive year, the Spartans handed them a loss on the last drive of the game and once again sealed Penn State’s fate to play for a National Championship. Starting the day, McSorley needed just 40 yards passing in order to become Penn State’s all…

Words of Advice to My Younger Self & A Special Link Up
Y’all I know I love a good celebration! And today I am joining some amazing blogger friends to celebrate Monica’s 31st birthday in true blogger style! Be sure to hop over to Jersey Girl, Texan Heart and see who else has joined this special birthday collaboration. In honor of her birthday, Monica has asked us all to share some words of wisdom with our younger selves. Reflecting back on this post from a few weeks ago, I realized that we all struggle with self-confidence from the moment that we become self-aware and start comparing ourselves to everyone else around us. This is the commencement of a lifelong fight toward self-love.…

Fall Outfit with Halftee: At the Pumpkin Patch & Link Up On the Edge #115
I mentioned in Tuesday’s mushroom picking post that we went to a Fall Festival at Wheeler Creek Pumpkin Patch in Clayton, New York, on Monday. Because the life of a blogger always consists of finding fun places for photo shoots, I wanted to create an outfit that was all fall vibes. And what screams fall more than layers and tall boots? It was the perfect opportunity to share with you a new product that has recently come to my attention…Halftee. Halftee is a product that was created by Wyoming native, Amanda Barker, in an effort to reduce the bulk of layered clothing while maintaining a put together look with all…

What to Wear Mushroom Picking & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #92
I cannot thank you all enough for all of the wonderful words of encouragement on Friday’s post about losing my mojo. I felt so much kindness from all of you as I make my way through this transition in my life. And I took much of what was shared to heart…I took the weekend off from blogging and will be slowly easing back into it this week. I am planning my Link Up On the Edge post for Thursday and I will have a special birthday link up on Friday to celebrate Monica’s birthday! And then I might be making some minor changes…but that remains to be seen. In the…
