A Bright Monday

Turkish Beach Towels

Let’s talk about bright, pretty, striped beach towels on this Monday morning, shall we? Maybe we should all close our eyes and envision the warm sun all around us while we lay on the beach (Do you feel like you’re in yoga class?). That made your Monday better, no? Ha! In all seriousness, let’s talk about a really great deal on Turkish beach towels! I was first introduced to Turkish beach towels this past summer when the beach house we stayed in had them for us to use. I looked at these thin (yet pretty) beach towels and was upset with myself for not packing our own towels! Well, after one use, I understand why everyone loves them! Yes, they are thin, but it’s actually an advantage! They are really large like a bath sheet, but they can still fit easily into a beach bag! This made my beach bag much easier to carry, since it wasn’t overflowing! And although they are thin, they are super absorbent (dare I say more so than other beach towels) and soft (they get softer with each wash)! Needless to say, I was sold. I took a picture of the website on the tag, so I could purchase them when I got home. But I was sorely disappointed when I found out they were over $50 a towel!  So, when I found these Turkish beach towels for less than $15, I was super excited! Then, when my dad asked what I wanted for Christmas, I knew immediately! Now I pass this great deal on to you this wintery Monday morning! Headed to the beach for Spring Break? Need a few easy gifts for friends? Need a winter pick me up? Look no further than these pretty, bright, Turkish Beach Towels!

Need a fashion fix? Well, while we are on the subject of pretty, bright, stripes- check out these links: I love this cover up so much, I can barely stand it. It would match my new swim suit! I also saw this top on, and I want it!

Happy Monday!

    Love these! Would you ever consider using these in a kids or guest bathroom as an everyday bath towel?

      Thanks for the comment! The question (in my mind) would be, could I get used to using a thinner bath towel? I have seen them sold as bath towels, so I know people do. Maybe try one and see? I hope this helps.

    Are they so absorbent I could use them as an everyday towel? Or is it more for beach only time?

      I think they are absorbent enough to use everyday. The question (in my mind) would be, could I get used to using a thinner bath towel? I have seen them sold as bath towels, so I know people do. Maybe try one and see? I hope this helps.

    We are stuck in the aftermath of a blizzard in DC and your post put a summer smile on my face 🙂 – I discovered turkish towels also last summer and can’t praise them enough. I also would carry one in my bag in the summer to use as a shawl in cold restaurants or theaters. Very absorbent and they do get softer and lovelier with each washing! thanks for this post!

Do you want new hair growth in your eyebrows? I ha Do you want new hair growth in your eyebrows? I have a trick, and no, it’s not an expensive hair growth serum! It’s Castor Oil, so it’s all natural and inexpensive. Apparently, it’s been used for thousands of years dating back to ancient Egypt. Ok, and I use it on my eyelashes, too, but I’m doing that at my own risk. I don’t want to recommend this practice, since I don’t really know what it’s going to do to my eyesight. I know, call me crazy- it’s fine. 

Thanks to my friend, Michelle for telling me about this little trick!

I attended a funeral today of a friend who died of I attended a funeral today of a friend who died of mental illness. If my friend is strong enough to stand at the podium and talk about her husband and the hope her family has in the midst of their darkest days, then I want to honor both of them by telling you about my struggle with mental illness. My friend mentioned that many of her husband’s closest friends had no idea that he’d been struggling with mental illness for 3 years, and I realized that many of you, and probably some of my closest friends don’t know how long and hard my struggle has been with mental illness. For me my mental illness wasn’t the kind where I couldn’t get out of bed or out of the house, which would make it hard to tell I was struggling. For me it looked more like battling through the day and struggling with my own self condemning thoughts and emotions - shaming myself for being happy one minute and sad the next, or for not being happy all the time, looking around at all my blessings and not feeling gratitude, which made me feel like there was something wrong with me. It was hard to get excited. On some days I walked around feeling like a scared puppy in a big bad world with my emotions right at the surface. For me, my faith is very important to me, and I knew this was not the life God had for me, so I started to pray for help and deliverance. God started to lead me to help in a whole bunch of different forms, counselors, health practitioners, friends, medicine, trauma therapy, EMDR, books, excercise, the support of family, and most importantly, Christ and His word. 
For me, it was over a 10 year battle probably because I was overcoming a lot of trauma being raised by an alcoholic mom. But for you it may be longer or shorter or this isn’t something you struggle with at all (hallelujah!). If you do, your emotions and your struggle may be different. But I’m here to say, you’re loved. You are loved by God and by so many of the people around you. Don’t give up. Dig in and fight the battle that’s happening in your mind. Fight it like you would if you had cancer. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalillness #mentalhealthmatters

How to get the cuffed denim look without buying a How to get the cuffed denim look without buying a new pair of jeans! You don’t need to buy a new pair of jeans to get the cuffed denim look! Just grab a pair of straight leg jeans from your closet, cuff them to be about an inch or 2 above the top of your ankle bone and use the nifty little gadget from this tutorial. Viola! Plus, the cuffed denim length makes it a heck of a lot easier to wear most of the shoes in your closet! #winning
