For the past year or so, my husband and I have been looking for ways to get more sleep and make that sleep higher quality. It doesn’t matter your stress level, your diet, your fitness, if you’re not getting enough sleep nothing will work right. Last year I wrote about how we improved our sleep with new pillows, a gravity blanket, and products to stop snoring. This past year, since…
I considered titling this post, “What to wear when you feel like sh*t but still need to go outside” for that is exactly what happened to create this look. Saturday it was raining and I felt under the weather. I didn't plan on leaving the house; I slept in for the first time in a long while, threw on some comfy clothes and plopped down in front of my computer…

I followed a version of The Rules with this blog for many years; I let brands come to me. My blog was around so long, Google loved me. People heard of me, and brands wanted to work with me.

I'm writing this from my mom's house where I've been spending a good deal of time. She's doing fantastically and cannot wait for next week when her drain will be removed.

She’s an amazing woman who makes your life better and she deserves some recognition for her awesomeness. Gifts with a message reminding her that she’s strong, special, and a total badass from…

Well here it is, and even better, this whole look is 40% off! It's all part of the Talbots RSVP Collection and right now is their Friends and Family event; save 40% off your entire…
For years, I commuted from house to car, and car to office. I could get through most of winter with a cute wool peacoat and my pumps and kept my parka and boots for shoveling snow. When I switched to a job in the city, it gave me a hard dose of winter reality and my wardrobe changed. Having a child and seeing snow, not just an inconvenience but a…
I sometimes wonder about buyers for department stores; it’s like they think anyone over a size 12 wants to wear only dark and dreary colors and waterfall cardigans. However, Nordstrom seems to be stepping up their plus size game. Recently perusing their New Arrivals, I saw so many stylish, pretty, professional, and downright fun plus sized options I just had to share! High Waist Belted Pants – On trend but…
