One Purple Jacket

One Purple Jacket

At the end of summer, I purchased a Grace Elements ponte knit jacket at Stein Mart for about $28.  I love it and have found so many ways to wear it!  That is when I know a garment works for me…is when I actually have too many ways to use it! I should never spend…

Go To Goodwill, Then Call Me In The Morning!

A friend called the other day to tell me she was sad…she had no money, wanted to shop, wanted to partake of all of the cute trends out for fall, and well…was just having a “Woe is me Party!” I told her to get up and immediately get over to Goodwill…then call me the next…

Lifestyle Changes…Baby Steps and Progress

It’s been 21 days since I began to once again make lifestyle changes to improve my health, and though the progress is slow….I am pleased.  Of those days, there have only been three that I did not exercise at all.  I have lost a few pounds, though I wish it was more…at least we are…
