I have been shopping on Zulily for YEARS! From adorable items for the kids and fabulous finds for our home, Zulily has been a staple site for finding amazing deals on even more amazing products! Every day new products are added! But don’t delay, the deals only last a few days! And with prices so low, things sell out quickly!

Wooden Watches: A Unique Summer Accessory

I believe that a unique watch should be in everyone’s wardrobe. I mean, come-on, who doesn’t want a nice watch?! A watch is supposed mean uniqueness, individuality, and one of the best eye catchers out there! A nice watch can really change the tune of an individual, whether by fashion or by punctuality. Which means if you are going to want a nice watch, then why not try Jord Wooden Watches? 

The Perfect Necklaces for Every Neckline

A common question I have been getting lately is, “How do know you what necklace to wear with different necklines?” And while I certainly don’t claim to be an expert, here is my opinion on which necklaces look great with different necklines.

Our Backyard Makeover with Macy’s

Our hot tub quit working last summer! When we found out that is was going to be over $1000 to fix it, we started exploring other options for that space! A fire pit area seemed like a no-brainer since our house is the hangout place for all of the kids in the neighborhood! We were so excited to find these pieces from Macy’s at such amazing prices! Macy’s is having a HUGE sale with prices that can’t be beat! During their Big Home Sale, you can use code HOME from July 31st to August 4th to save even more!

10 Tips & Tricks to Look and Feel Your Best

This post was sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle.

I remember watching an episode of Oprah many years ago! She talked about asking yourself three questions before deciding to purchase or keep an article of clothing!

  1. Is this the image I want to portray?
  2. Do I love it?
  3. Does it make me look and feel good?

Now Briton likes to throw in the question, “How much does it cost?” but I told him he can’t do that! Ha! Oprah said that if you can’t answer “yes” to each of those three questions, the item is not for you! Whether you are going through your closet and purging or in a dressing room trying to find a “just right” piece, these questions should drive you to action! I am excited to be partnering with Nordstrom to bring you ten tips and tricks to help you look and feel your best!

Smoothies

Well, if you know me, you know that I start every morning with a smoothie! I love that time to get in a great serving of fruits and vegetables! I also make a REALLY large batch. I put my Sunday batch into plastic cups and straight to the freezer. Every morning around 6:30, I pull a smoothie out of the freezer and take it with me to school. Then around 8:00 I eat it at my desk! I never actually measure what I put in, but here are some approximates! 🙂   I start by putting everything into my Vitamix.

Yes, they are expensive. But, yes, they are completely worth it. My Vitamix is over 15 years old and it won’t die! I mean, secretly, I would like it to die because I would love more options than my old Vitamix has! But, no! It won’t quit! And also, their customer service is wonderful! Here are the ingredients I use. Because I make a smoothie for the whole week, this recipe will make a large portion big enough to serve 5-6 smoothies. Start by blending these ingredients:

20 ounces of Almond Milk (any milk is fine)
Big handful of spinach or kale
1/2 cup of Coconut oil (Optional)
3 scoops of protein powder (I use Beachbody’s Vanilla Vegan)

After the above ingredients are smooth, add the frozen fruit. I use:
2 Frozen Bananas
1/2 cup or so of Frozen Blueberries
1/2 cup or so of Frozen Strawberries

Another fruit option:
2 Frozen Bananas
1/2 cup or so of Frozen Mango
1/2 cup or so of Frozen Peaches

Blend and enjoy! Start your morning off right! Now, don’t stop following me after you read this! 😉 But…. I don’t like chocolate! I know, I know! It’s crazy! But my family does! So sometimes after I get my smoothie scooped out, I will add a couple tablespoons of Cocoa Powder. My kids think they are drinking a chocolate milkshake! MOM WIN!
