October 30, 2019 2 Comments

Halloween is tomorrow and I’m sure you’ll make the rounds to several parties. You’ll wear outrageous costume and loudly proclaim, “Trick or Treat!” And if you’re like me, you’ll only be there for the halloween snacks! “Mix” It Up If you’re attending a party, whether it’s at your child’s school, your work, or a friend’s house, don’t go empty handed. Take a tasty snack. Or if you’re hosting a party, try making this yummy Harvest Hash Trail Mix, compliments of The House of Hendrix.

Wanderlust: Islands Without Cars

October 2, 2019 No Comments

There are destinations around the world where people get around by walking, bicycles, and donkeys. There are places where there are no cars, or at least, a place where no cars are allowed. To me, there is an adventure around every corner in these far away locales. Kira Cook hosts a series on PBS, entitled Islands without Cars. This first season of this show highlighted six islands without cars, including the Greek Island of Hydra, Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, Ireland’s Inis Meain, Italy’s Aeolian Islands, The Channel Island of Sark, and France’s Isle of Porquerolles. In doing a little more research […]

Anyone who has a blog, whether they are a full-time or a part-time blogger, knows the anxiety and stress that goes along with trying to publish a quality blog post every day. And for me personally, to add to that stress, I challenged myself to do another Blogtober this year, meaning I wrote a blog post every day for the month of October. I typically publish between 5-10 posts a month, most of which are monthly features, but coming up with quality content day after day, that people would enjoy reading, is still quite a bit of a challenge.

Dress Form Outfit / www.vanessahwood.com

I love seeing how other bloggers style one piece of clothing several different ways. I always think to myself, “I can do that!” So when I was transitioning my dresser from summer to winter clothes, I rediscovered this sweater that I purchased from Kohl’s back in the spring. Then I thought, “It’s sweater weather! I can style this at least three ways!” As I said, I purchased this Cloud Chaser sweater from Kohl’s back in the spring. It was originally $40 and I got it on sale {and I mean, “on sale”} for the low price of only $4! Can […]
