5 Ways to add a touch of Mint

Ya know what's the IT color of the season? If you guessed Mint green--hi five to you. The color Mint is absolutely fabulous and compliments virtually any skin tone. To hop on this season's latest color trend, you can seamlessly blend the color Mint into your wardrobe with this simple steps:

1-Nail Polish
My favorite mint nail polish happens to come from Essie

 2. Add a clutch
I love a printed bold pattern. It's by none other than DVF (Diane Von Furstenberg).

3. Accessorize! Accessorize! Accessorize! You can dress up any outfit with the right statement necklace.

4. Pop of shoe color. What's better than an affordable high heel from Jessica Simpson?

5. Sunnies. Normally you won't catch me in anything but black over-sized sunnies a la Nicole Richie.

 But how can you pass up these mint green round sunnies from ASOS.

Will you be adding Mint to your styles this Spring?

Motivation Monday

Source    Usually I hate the phrase "life is short." However, this weekend, a close friend of my family passed away suddenly. She was a special person that was always filled with peace and joy. Upon hearing news of her death, I was reminded that no one is promised tomorrow. So with that said, I think it's important to live each day as if it were your last. Haven't spoken to a loved one in awhile? Pick up the phone and call. Haven't told that special person in your life that you love them? Say it now. Haven't paid attention to those friends/family members because you're too busy? Stop and let them know of your appreciation.We all lead busy lives, but that shouldn't stop us from giving our all to those who matter the most. Peace and blessings,

  White Denim    So this weekend I haphazardly decided to go jean shopping. BIG Mistake. I told you recently that I gained a few pounds (here) but for some reason I was on a mission to find a decent pair of skinny white jeans.

Mom Tales: Losing the baby pooch

 So today it happened. I put on one of my favorite black and gray stripped jersey shirts from H&M and nearly collapsed at what I saw. No, it couldn't be I said to myself gasping at my reflection. Yet there it was, my dreaded baby pooch. I nicknamed it my kangaroo pouch which used to be under control--until now.

I stumbled across this picture this morning and it immediately made me smile. On a day to day basis, many of us may tend to get boggled down by life's tribulations. Whether it's a dream deferred or lack of ambition due to fear, sometimes you just need to take a leap of faith. I'll never forget waking up every morning listening to Hot 97's Miss Jones Morning Show while I got dressed to go to grad school a few years ago. It was a very tumultuous time in my life, but every day Miss Jones ended her show by saying: "Never let fear come between you and your goals." I felt like she was speaking directly to me. I was at a place in my life where I wanted to give up on my dreams. But I never did. No matter what I faced, I made it through by focusing on the end result of what would make me happy. You can do the same. So today, I encourage you to face your fears head-on and do what makes YOU happy. You're worth it.

What do you do that makes you feel happy?
