Sunday chic.

The sun changes everything doesn't it? Immediately my mood is lifted and everything seems like it's going to be A-OK! 

My husband and I spent a glorious late afternoon turned evening date night catching dinner and a show in the city this past weekend while our little nuggets had a sleepover with the grandparents. 

While we didn't sleep in at ALL (Daylight Savings...you're a drag) we did throughly enjoy a lazy Sunday morning filled with coffee and the news. Not Bubble Guppies. It's the little things...

Spring shoe makeover

Each season I assess my shoe wardrobe and weed out the ones that don't fit my lifestyle anymore.

Maybe that heel was just a little too high and I convinced myself it would work. Nope!

Maybe I'll learn to love that platform shoe. Nope!

Maybe I'll wear flats more. Nope!

Ever since I transitioned out of my FT job and into creating my own company, there's a weight that has been lifted. Not that I was carrying around a burden working at my other job...quite the opposite. I really liked my last job, however; there's a certain pleasure I've discovered in creating my own days...quotas...plans.

It's the first time in over a decade that I feel a tremendous calm and I'm reveling in it. I love tapping into my creative side again.

Beauty 411: organic shampoos to fall in love with!

As someone who colors their hair every four weeks, trust me when I say I am VERY particular about my haircare. Specifically shampoo. I have very fine hair and a lot of it. And let's face it, I'm not sure if these "color shampoos" really preserve and ensure longer-lasting color, however; I'm not about to roll the dice.

My color is expensive so extending it is a non-negotiable. Don't believe me? Ask my husband who is still astonished at the monthly expense that hits our bank statement. As an aside, we've been together five years so let this be a lesson that your husband will never get used to the costs associated with monthly beauty maintenance.
