Links I Love: May 2019

As you know, I like to put together a list of “links I love” from the previous month that feature various topics from some of my favorite bloggers. This month, I’m also going to add a few things I saved to my Amazon wish list – all of which I just discovered during the month of May.

Let’s Get This Link Party Started

Murals in Memphis {Camels & Chocolate}

Memphis – home of Elvis Presley and apparently some pretty snazzy murals. Nashville-based writer Kristin Luna shares some of these wonderful places that the next time you’re in Memphis, you should stop by a few of them and take a photo {for the ‘gram, of course}!

How to Clean Out Your Closet {With Love from Kat}

I’m getting ready to do a major clean-up of my dressing room and KonMari the heck out of it. I also plan to do some organizing and clean-up of a couple of other spaces in my house. Kat’s tips are so helpful, and I will definitely think about them when I’m cleaning out my closet.

Where to Donate Used Clothing {Lemon Stripes}

Who knew there were so many placed to donate used clothing? I, for one, didn’t! Thanks to Julia of Lemon Stripes, who put together this very comprehensive guide on where {and how} you can donate your used clothing!

Deals Under $25 {Penny Pincher Fashion}

Don’t you just love a deal under $25? I know I sure do, especially when it’s something that I will actually wear or use on a consistent basis. I also love how Kimberly puts the outfits together. Also check out her “Steals Under $35” post!

I’m Self-Conscious in Shorts {Poor Little It Girl}

Even at the age of 46, I am also self-conscious in shorts. So I can totally relate to Cathy’s insecurities, but as she wrote in her post, “No one else even notices all the things I don’t like about my body. And if they do, who cares?! That’s on them.” Now that’s some great advice for women at any age!

5 Plants for Small Spaces That Promote Healthy Air Quality {The Glitter Guide}

I have two indoor-outdoor dogs and an indoor cat, and I feel like I’m sweeping and dusting literally every day! I used to have an air purifier, but it was big and bulky, took up too much space, was a bit noisy, and the replacement filters cost a good bit of change. So I’ve been looking to spruce up our living spaces with some air-purifying plants, and some of these just might do the trick.

My Rec List

Here is a short list of other bloggers and influencers that I follow and love. I have their blogs bookmarked on my Mac and I check out their posts on a regular basis {mainly because my inbox is already so full that I’m still “spring cleaning” my emails}. I’ve also included these lovely ladies in past “Links I Love” posts a time or two.

My Amazon Wish List

I could say that I’m easily influenced by my fellow bloggers, and often find myself seeing if that product is available on Amazon. Like so many of us do, I often find myself getting lost down the rabbit hole that is Amazon, clicking one link after the other, but I love discovering new things. So here’s a short list of what’s captured my eye on Amazon.

VLUV LEIV Self-Standing Sitting Ball with Handle {$99.90 – $109.90}
Luxury Checkered Shell-Shaped Toiletry Travel Bags, 4-pack {$16.78}
MEIREN H-Classic Leather Slippers {$32}
Prtty Peaushun Skin Tight Body Lotion in Dark {$37.90}

Well, that was a l-e-n-g-t-h-y “links I love” post, but hopefully, you’ve found something inspiring and maybe I’ve even influenced you to purchase something!

Yours Truly,
Vanessa
