Always the right time to wear Stevie
In December, my husband and I went to see Stevie Nicks in concert. I’ve always been a fan of Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. While it’s still on my bucket list to go see Fleetwood Mac in concert, I can cross off that list of being able to see Stevie. I’m not a huge fan of wearing t-shirts to work,…

Navigating a real estate transaction
This post is going to be kind of boring for anyone who wants to read about beauty, fashion, or subscription boxes. It is a tip though and speaks to the importance of knowing who your real estate agent, reading your contract and not being afraid on insisting that they represent you well. We listed our home for sale a few…

Editor’s Box
I have heard a lot about the FabFitFun subscription box. As I have mentioned in previous posts, I currently subscribe to Ipsy and Stitch Fix. I decided to give FabFitFun a try after reading a number of reviews and seeing the quality of items that come in each box. FabFitFun comes out four times a year. The boxes are sent in December,…

Cold shoulders
I remember about six months ago when someone I work with had a really cute top on that had cut outs around the shoulders. I think I’ve shared before that I am somewhat self-conscious about baring my arms as I think they look too big. For me, cold shoulder tops are good option for someone like me with this particular…

Planner Style
A year ago, I stumbled upon a little known world of planner people – specifically, women who buy planners and then decorate them with all kind of doo-dads and what-nots. I think most of us when we buy a planner, we think to ourselves that we are buying it in order to get more organized and efficient with our time.…

Larger than life
A few days ago, I learned that a friend and colleague had suffered a massive heart attack. There was hope that he would pull through, but four days after his heart attack, he passed away. He was 50. His death was shocking to me because he seemed larger than life. He lived his life fighting with his whole soul for…

Another black dress
I will admit that for me it has been a personal challenge to post pictures of myself on this blog. I will never claim to be any type of fashionista. I do like to dress nicely for work and try to look professional. For a while, I was kind of in this mode of picking clothing in one color –…

Black & Blue
We finally had a day without heavy rain. I’m not complaining because where I live we have been in a drought for the past few years. That being said, our area experienced mudslides, flooding, downed trees and power outages. I had to check the road conditions for my husband because he drives over “the mountain,” and the road had sustained…

Patience please
Today I took the plunge to purchase my own domain and move to a hosting company. I was going to wait until the first of next month, but ended up getting a really good deal with Namecheap.com for hosting and domain name registration. I know from previous experience that if you wait too long just using the blogging service through…

My Fashion Steal
There are moments in life when you just cannot believe that you have stumbled upon something that really is too good to be true. That happened to me about two weeks ago. For my birthday in October, my son gave me a Nordstrom Gift Card for $25.00. I never got around to using it. Then about two weeks ago, I…
