Friendship In Marriage

Ever After Sign My Parents have been married for 47 years... They have groomed a beautiful path for me and my Husband. Here are 7 ways in my eyes, my parents have maintained their Friendship in Marriage. 1) GREAT COMMUNICATION I grew up in a very open home. There were very few secrets between any of the siblings or my parents and us kids. We ate dinner around the table every night- We had no choice it was my parents rule, we were always welcome to bring a guest, but we were to be there.  2) GREAT LISTENING We were also a family of talkers- (ok, maybe just me) but with that came a great family of listeners! Mom and Dad … [Read more...]

Straw Tote

Sweatshirt Straw Tote Jellie Sandals (on Sale 30% off) I love my new STRAW TOTE! You can use this adorable tote at the pool or even for a fun trip to the beach. I linked the website to this tote where they have an awesome Pink and a sweet Striped. I also love these Tory Burch coral jellies... Which are just as practical for the poolside or the beach. These two together make a dynamic duel.  Now, I just need to wish for warmer weather and ditch the sweatshirt... Pool time looks like it might be on the schedule for this weekend. (yeah!)

Spring Perfumes

KATE SPADE: Walking on Air VIKTOR & ROLF: Flowerbomb PRADA: Candy MARC JACOBS: Daisy Dream Now that the weather is getting a bit closer, it's time to start thinking about your Spring/Summer scent. I'm not much for changing my perfume fragrance regularly. I usually stick with a scent that I like for awhile. However, changing up your scent once or twice a year is do able and also a MUST. Today, I'm wearing Flowerbomb. It's sweet with a little hint of Vanilla. Kate Spade's 'walk on air' is new and very popular. My recommendation is go to the store with NO perfume on that day and spray one of these yummy fragrances- wear … [Read more...]
