I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not always good at maintaining good habits, but with all of the successful women I know, especially those female bloggers that I follow and admire, I find inspiration in their success. Would I love to have as many followers and/or readers as those successful female bloggers I follow? Sure. I find these women inspiring! I love that they hustle and challenge themselves.

Saturday Night Dinner Party: Halloween

I thought that this was a great idea, in that making a list, and I mean physically writing a list of little happy things, is a great reminder to stop and smell the roses. It all started when I found Jacey Duprie’s (Damsel in Dior) list. I love that she put “breaking an egg” and “a fully charged battery” on her happy list. Then I found Mary Kendall Butler’s list, and I liked that she put “unsubscribe here” and […]
