This and That

Happy Weekend my friends! I’m picturing you curled up somewhere reading this. Especially since I had this post delivered to your inbox in the wee hours of the morning. Well, good morning. Your sleepy face is making me smile.

I’m likely going to wake up thinking through the various events I have today and deciding whether it’s going to be a good or bad day. Wait, what?! Yes, I actually do this. It’s not a pleasant way to wake up. My thoughts and my feeling are my own worst enemy, which is why I’m listening to this book in the car to help me not do this anymore! So scratch that, it’s going to be a great day! Ha! Tell me I’m not the only one…

Want to see the outfit my son said I looked like a farmer in but also received 4 separate compliments on in one day? That just goes to show you, wear what you like. There’s always going to be someone who doesn’t like it.

I’ve had fun helping a few teens recently find dresses. The minidress is what’s “in” right now, and it’s a tricky look (pun intended -ha!). Most of these dresses are pretty cheap looking and made of cheap material, but I’ve had great luck shopping the sale dresses by Alice and Olivia and Cinq a Sept (at least the material isn’t cheap!). I sort by price, low to high.

I’m a little obsessed with this Amazon purchase. I’m tired of smelling under my arms, but I won’t give up my natural deodorant because of my family history. I’ve started using this, and I’ve honestly noticed a difference! Oh, hallelujah!

I’ve been wanting to tell y’all about this dress from Amazon for weeks, but I haven’t had the time! My friend came over wearing this dress, and I inquired about it immediately! It’s one of those easy dresses you can throw on to go into the office, or wear at home when you have a Zoom, or to run errands, or dress it up for back to school stuff. Stylist tip: elongate with a platform or give yourself a waistline with a cropped jacket or belt.

One last thing, I’m starting a new series called “Stylist Favorites”. The title feels a little pompous, but I don’t know what else to call it. Anyway, I want to start sharing my tried and true stylist type recommendations with you all. Some of them aren’t very exciting like, my favorite sweater shaver and my favorite strapless bra, but it’s still such valuable, useful information that I have to share! So here’s my first one I can’t help but share!

Really?! A travel backpack? Yes! You’d be surprised how much easier travel gets when you have a bag that functions really well. It’s light weight, soft and easy to clean (I even washed mine in the washing machine). It’s slick so it slides under the seat perfectly. The outside pocket allows for you to easily access your boarding pass and phone. And it’s huge inside! I fit my purse and then some inside! I lent it to my friend and she even texted me about how great it is!

I’m looking forward to watching the US Open this weekend! What are you up to?

Thanks for letting me be in your inbox!

I couldn't figure out what to call this post, hence the "slash title." It's a throw back to old blogging days when everything was spur of the moment and not curated. It was just me sharing my life with you guys and you all sharing your lives with me in return. I miss it. So how does one put that ... Read More

I'm honored to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. today. It was so hard to choose quotes for this post. It’s not surprising that Martin Luther King has over 600 quotes on the Goodreads website! Talk about a wise! In the end, I picked the quotes that really speak to me at this time in my ... Read More

My first visit to a Kips Bay Decorator Show House My first visit to a Kips Bay Decorator Show House (@kbshowhouse ) did not disappoint! Wow! Wow! Wow! There are so many talented artists/designers in this world, and to be able to experience and be fully immersed in so many of their creations in one place was a really neat experience!! I highly recommend, if you have not been. Their show in Dallas is open through November 13th.

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! 

Comment “oil” for  links to both the Castor Oil and the wands I use. #beautytips #beauty #eyebrows #beautyproducts
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
