Dinner Party: Special Mother’s Day Edition

May 6, 2017 No Comments

Welcome to another one of my {imaginary} Saturday dinner parties, where I invite celebrity guests into my home. This month is special because it’s Mother’s Day is next Sunday. So today’s blog post is extra special because it features some of my favorite celebrity mother-daughter duos. I really think my mother would enjoy having dinner with these wonderful and inspiring women, sharing a meal with them, and exchanging stories about raising strong, independent, smart, and sassy daughters. The resemblances in these mother-daughter duos are uncanny and anyone can see why the acting bug didn’t fall far from the tree. You can also […]

Influenster’s Poppy VoxBox Review

May 2, 2017 No Comments

With Spring in the air and Summer quickly approaching, now is the time to look and feel as fresh as you can. I was selected by Influenster to test and review some products that I could and would use in my every day life. After filling out my profile and completing some “snaps”, I was sent an email stating that they {Influenster} would be receiving the Poppy VoxBox. I was beyond excited! I received it a couple of weeks ago and waited a whole day before opening it! I wanted to make sure I had the time to really read over the description of […]

372 Days Down: Update on My 101 Things to do in 1001 Days

April 30, 2017 4 Comments

Last year, on April 24th, I published a post titled “101 Things to do in 1001 Days” and compiled a list of what I thought would be relatively achievable things I could accomplish in 1001 days. Then in September, I did a quick update post of what I had accomplished so far. As I mentioned in on my of previous posts, it was two bloggers that inspired me and my list. First was Kate from Kate The Almost Great, and she pointed me in the direction of Mackenzie Horan at Design Darling, who put together her first list together in 2011. This list, […]

Man and Woman of Style: Becks & Posh

April 26, 2017 No Comments

I have this strange fascination with Victoria Beckham. A couple of years ago, I wrote a blog post about her after I purchased her book, “That Extra Half and Inch: Hair, Heels and Everything in Between.” Although she is rarely photographed with a smile on her face, I give her credit for perfecting “resting bitch face”. Not only is she perfectly coiffed pretty much all the time, but she has four seemingly perfect children, a blossoming fashion brand, and she’s married to David Beckham, one of the sexiest men {and soccer players} in the world. We have seen this couple cooly walk through […]

12 Cute One-Piece Swimsuits for Summer

April 24, 2017 No Comments

After I found the perfect bikini when I was in junior high school, I have not put on a one-piece swimsuit since. That bikini was blue and had big plastic rings on the sides of the bottoms and in the middle of the triangle top. I totally rocked it back then. Now I’m a lot curvier and I am only comfortable in a bikini laying out on my back porch out in the country, where no one can see me. So what’s a gal like me to do to get ready for summer pool-time? Search for the perfect one-piece, that’s what! […]
