Confession: We still have paper blinds up in the majority of our house…fancy, huh? When you start a business, all your discretionary money that used to be spent on decorating and other items goes out the window. Haha. I’m making a joke, but I’m sure our neighbors will be happy when we finally pick some […]

We might be taking a short, summertime hiatus from the Five on Friday weekly round-up, but that doesn’t mean we can’t touch base every now and then with things that are jumping out to us, even on a Tuesday 🙂 One. First up, a must in the maxi dress world…ya’ll know I’m a discount shopper […]

If you’re an avid online shopper like I am, chances are you subscribe to daily shopping sites, in one way or the other. Honestly, I can get overwhelmed at times, but you can absolutely score some amazing deals if you’re on the hunt for a bargain, shopping for an upcoming occasion, or just needing an […]

Back when I began envisioning opening my own business, of course I daydreamed about being able to go to market, shop away, sell the merchandise instantly, and then call it a day…yeah, that’s not really how this entire running your own business thing goes I assure you.

I may be turning 31 today, but I sure don’t feel 31. That just sounds old to me. Not that I mind growing older, I just don’t “feel” older…maybe it’s the working out, eating better, and using a skincare regimen that’s starting to work its magic and do some good to mind, body, and soul. […]

I am constantly switching it up in the workout department because I get tired of doing the same old song and dance and my body gets in a rut when I get too comfortable. Recently, I started doing a 10 minute workout 4-5 times a week just so that I am doing something on those […]

Given the fact we already are swimming up to our necks in toys around the casa, we have been on a major clean-out/purge/donation drive…two children don’t need an endless amount and we are fortunate enough to be able to give to others, so teaching them early is a win win for all of us.  I […]

If you’re like me, I know I need some assistance when it comes to the closet department…AKA finding what works for me, what suits my body, using what I already have, finding pieces to pair up for multiple outfits/occasions/outings, and scoring some major great deals on fabulous goodies, too. For some of you local friends, […]
