Some people ask me how I can pack at a moments notice. The truth is while there are times I over pack depending on the weather or destination, I try and focus on key pieces that I can use without adding bulk to my bag. When I travel I consider comfort and versatility! This fall I am packing 5 essential items and 3-4 additional shirts that can maximize my wardrobe. Not only will this save me luggage space but eliminate the need to shop when my key pieces are always waiting in my closet. Continue Reading

In 2013 I Want To……
I'm back from my blogging vacation! Nothing can beat spending an peaceful Christmas & New Years with those you love the most in this world.

Fashion Meet Comfort: Fashion FLEXY®/Haute Things, Inc Giveaway Ends 12/24
Sometimes finding items in our everyday wardrobe that are fashionable and comfortable for everyday use can be very hard to find. During my 9-5 job healthcare job, I always start my day with my hair down, freshly flat-ironed, and looking completely together. Before lunchtime I find myself looking for my elastic ponytail around my wrists (that cuts off blood circulation) and pinning my hair back. Those very same elastic bands are not good for my hair in the first place more nor are they Continue Reading
Don’t Upgrade Your Husband-UpgradeTo MaLo Men’s Underwear #MaLoUnderwear #CBias
My husband is a very simple man. He could care less about specific brands in clothing or shoes. He doesn't like anything too flashy and definitely not pricey! His wardrobe consists of polo style shirts, his favorite sports team T-Shirts and naturally, our children's team parent shirts. But one thing he does care about is comfort. That's where I come in. I guess in a man's head, the longer you own something, the more comfortable it is. Is it about security? Probably not, I wouldn't give him that Continue Reading
Gearing Up for Halloween-CostumeSuperCenter.com Review
Despite being in the midst of severe heat, the kids are back in school and planning all sorts of upcoming events in the next few months. Since I'm determine to be ahead of the game(a girl can try, right?), I have decide to start my Halloween shopping early. Locally, our costume selection is very limited. We either pay top dollar for a well made costume, or a decent price for something that is bound to fall apart the first time my kids wear their Halloween costumes. This year I decided to look Continue Reading

As much as I l LOVE to save money, unfortunately I also love to SPEND money! Since I'm on the plus sized section of the department store and wear a size 11 shoe, I gravitate more towards the accessory department of a department store.

I'm a firm believer that you don't have to pay high dollar prices to get a high Continue Reading

As much as I like to complain about the heat index in Southeast Louisiana, one person in my family has a harder time dealing with it than I do- My Husband!

He is not one to complain but I can see the weather taking it's toll on him when he comes home drenched in sweat. To add insult to injury, my husband's work has a strict dress code of no shorts. There are times my husband leaves work in Continue Reading
