November 13, 2020 No Comments

It’s been a few months since I did a dress form outfit post. After I bought this Lucky Brand dress, I decided it needed to be styled on my dress form. I even wore it out in my front yard to take some pictures with the fallen leaves before my husband could mow over them. This sleeveless dress is perfect to wear year-round. You can toss on a jacket or light sweater for Spring and Fall. You can pair it with a chunky sweater and boots for winter. Or you can slip on some sandals or sneakers for Summer. For […]

Binge-Worthy TV Shows / www.vanessahwood.com

I never really understood the phrase “Netflix & Chill” until my husband and I gave up cable. First we got Amazon Prime, and then last year, that we added Netflix. It’s important to relax and recharge your batteries (so to speak), so I thought I’d put together a list of binge-worthy TV shows to watch (with a description of why I like them) on Netflix and Amazon Prime. This list is rather long, but it will be totally worth it to me if you find your next binge-worthy TV show. Best TV Shows to Binge-Watch AtypicalA heartfelt comedy about Sam, […]

Life Affirming Words / www.vanessahwood.com

If you’re battling insecurity, then keeping a positive mind – feeding it with faith, truth, and love – will improve your outlook on […]
