Lovecats, this giveaway is LONG overdue! In fact, I was planning on posting it last OCTOBER! I know… I know. BUT, better late than never, right? RIGHT! I was inspired by the book release of Beginner’s Pluck by founder of Sseko designs, Liz Bohannon, who asked if I wanted a copy of the book to …
#MondayMotivation // GIRLS CRUSHING IT
I was introduced to The Colorful Wild through longtime blogging friend, Holly (@hollyconda on Instagram), who shared a photo of her two adorable kids with “girlprenuer” Avery, who started her very own organic lip balm brand and is totally crushing it. Since I was immediately motivated by this little entrepreneur, I thought you might be …

Lovecats! It’s Giveaway Time! My intention was to have this giveaway launched at the beginning of the month so that it ended on St. Patrick’s Day BUT I’ve been having blog/server troubles since the end of February, so I had no choice but to wait. But now I’m back up and running and hoping for …

This & That // Current Obsession with Green, Vintage Louis Vuitton & Valentine’s Day Nails
I originally wanted to do a fun Valentine’s Day nail art tutorial for you, but as much as I do like my nails, they didn’t really photograph well, so I thought I’d also share my current favorites instead… in the accessories category; bag, wallet, phone case, the end. I’d been using my Balenciaga classic town …

Beauty // Hair Accessory Trends // Bulky Knotted Headbands
I am always on the fence about headbands and don’t wear them often. Though I do always love a romantic Dolce and Gabbana crowned moment, they usually feel either too childish on me or too preppy. But these seem different… they have a far more grown-up feeling than your average band. They’re a headband-crown-sort-of-turban-but-not-a-turban that’s …
Brüush Gives Me A Reason To Smile… Because it Tickles!
I haven’t used an electric toothbrush in AGES. I did for a very long time (years ago) and then I just didn’t think the one I had was working very well so I went back to the old classic, a standard toothbrush that I had to use a little elbow grease to clean my teeth …

Beauty // 9 Cute-Sexy-Chic Leopard Print Nail Ideas
Pale pink manicure with leopard accents via @mrskmeaks I’m on a leopard kick this week (I’ve even changed all my featured posts to LEOPARD themed) and upon looking around for more, I realized that I’ve never done a leopard print nail art tutorial! Though this one reminds me of cat eyes, I was shocked myself… …
Glitter Nails // Color Street Nail Polish Strips FTW!
When we opened Dogwood a few months ago I realized my hands might be center of attention – ahem- unless maybe I wear a very low cleavage-enhancing top 😉 BUT mostly, my hands are pouring drinks and delivering food and gesticulating wildly as I speak to customers and friends… and I want them to look …

#MondayMotivation // Accepting AND Embracing Aging
Why are we so afraid of aging? It happens to all of us, no matter what, from the time we are born and every day after… we are aging. Is it because we are afraid of death and aging is a sign that we are getting closer to the finality of life? But what about …
