Hello you wonderful people! I think I’m ready to readjust my blog a bit. Saturdays have been designated as Featured Celeb Dress for Less posts, but I have lost a bit of the thrill in them. Because I don’t generally wear expensive pieces, I figure my own personal style posts are dress for lesses in [...]

For today’s Friday Fave, I thought I’d post pictures of some of the handbags I’m drooling after. For the past month or so I have been in search of a replacement for my big red bag (which has helped many a friends locate me in a crowd lol). I’m totally in love with these designer [...]

Whenever I think of jean dresses, I think of those old “mom” overall or muumuu versions – not a pretty sight. So while the chambray and denim trend started exploding over the fashion scene, I was verrryyyy hesitant to revert back to my childhood memories of fully denim outfits. The other day when I was [...]

We all know recycling is important to do, whether we participate in it or not. What many of us don’t realize is how we are suppose to recycle our goods, which often results in a lot more energy used at recycling plants that have to sort out un-recyclable materials. This website has a whole list [...]

Hey guys, I’m still off at Disneyland! Just thought I’d make a quick post and ask you all what your “Disneyland Advice” would be! What is your must-ride attraction? Do you take the time to watch the shows? How do you successfully navigate Disneyland (or are you just a free spirit that jumps from Adventureland [...]

Every year I tell myself I’m going to make the six hour trek down south and go to Coachella. And every year it comes and goes with me not present. One of these days I will make the effort to be there, even if I’m one of those amazingly awesome 60 year old women braving [...]

I’m not so sure if I want to put an exclamation on the end of the sentence; apparently scientists say our peak mental age is 22, so it’s all downhill from here . But it’s true ladies and gentlemen, today is indeed my birthday! Tonight I will be spending it with my family, eating [...]

The other day on the Styleist.com there was an article on dark lips as a spring trend. Now I’ve seen the black/plum lipstick trend during the fall/winter seasons, but for bright and sunny spring? I wasn’t quite sold on it. Now if you’ve been following my blog for awhile, you’ll know one of my New [...]

I absolutely love this little project Martha Stewart features on her site. Basically she takes recycled glass jars, bottles, and vases and gives them a whole new life with glass enamel. What a great green and affordable way to reuse discarded materials to decorate your home! I decided to tackle this little crafting extravaganza myself and made a [...]

I thought I’d try something a little different for today’s look. I think after spending hours listening to Grizzly Bear, I started craving casual, lightweight pieces that would feel airy against my skin. I’ve had my eye on cropped pants since I saw the Boy by Band of Outsiders spring collection this year, and decided [...]

If you haven’t heard, I’m starting a new thing here at my blog where I feature interviews with other amazing bloggers – basically a more involved blogroll to help build our growing community. I will be featuring writers from all walks of life – from the experienced pro to the up-and-coming rookie. If you would [...]

Today I thought I would do things a little differently. Instead of having an inspired picture to start from, I wanted to focus on building a professional wardrobe without breaking the bank (thanks to my cousin Patrice’s question on my fanpage!). Right now job searching has become a major “pass time”, and first impressions really [...]

I’ve been dying to have Nichole guest post on my blog for awhile now. She’s received her esthetician license from Paul Mitchell, and has an extensive background in natural and organic products (including working for Elephant Pharmacy in Walnut Creek). I asked her to choose her top five beauty products for today’s Friday Fave, and [...]

Some girls go to the city to shop, I take a drive to SF to learn how to make that money! A couple of days ago I attended Ad:tech, a convention/meetup of different companies, affiliate networks, and internet marketers who are looking to create new relationships and solidify old. While I only dabble in affiliate [...]
