Happy Fall! This is my favorite time of year because of all the layering and pumpkin spiced everything!  I also love all the colors that appear during the Fall and Winter. This year I was surprised to only see 10 colors instead of 12 from the Pantone Color Institute. But I will say, the ones they chose are spot on and perfect for this fall season. This year the colors represent versatility and timelessness which reflects the desire for value and functionality. The Pantone Colors of the Season are chosen by the Pantone Color Institute.  Each season 12 colors and 4 neutrals are chosen based on the top colors that New York fashion week designers will be showing in their runway shows. The colors represented…

Staying Connected with Paperless Post

Various picutes of invitations, thank you cards and cards from Paperless Post with flowers and scissors in the backdrop

Hey! Are you the type of person that loves to give greeting cards and throw parties? I grew up in a family that always gave greeting cards for birthdays, holidays and just because.  Times are changing and there are more ways than purchasing a greeting card off the shelf to stay connected with your loved ones.  I want to tell you about Paperless Post today which is an online company that provides a way for you to send your greetings and invites via email. I feel like greeting cards purchased off the shelf are becoming a thing of the past. The selections on the shelves at places like Walgreens, Target and Walmart are uninspiring and are expensive.  Invitations to parties are essentially the same; cost…

Hey ladies! Have you paid attention to what colors are coming out for spring?!!! I have started a little shopping and boy are we in for an interesting colorful season!

Hey y’all! I hope you are having a good start to February! January felt like it would never end!  Wouldn’t you agree?  I have a couple of exciting things to tell you about this February and one of those things is my new eyeglasses.  Unfortunately I am getting older and need glasses to help me see close up.  I tried a company called Liingo Eyewear to see what ordering a pair of glasses online would be like. They gifted me these glasses that are super cute and keep me seeing very well! For just a little background about me in case you didn’t already know.  I spent a little over 2 years selling glasses and I became a certified Optician during that time.  So, needless…

Photos of some of the Tech Gift Suggestions

Hey there! Are you having trouble buying a gift for that tech-savvy guy in your life?  I have always had a challenging time because my man is not mainstream.

I have divided it up into categories to make it easier for you! I tried to make this fun and interesting and most of these are things my husband recommended or has already received as a gift.
