Find The Beauty Within

August 30, 2019 No Comments

Coco Chanel knew a thing or two about beauty. During her life, she designed some of the most beautiful clothing. One thing I really love about Coco Chanel is her wonderful words of wisdom, such as this gem below. It’s difficult to find the beauty within when you’re scrolling through Instagram and seeing one beautiful person after another wearing fancy clothes, their makeup is practically perfect, their hair falls in just the right tousled wave pattern. But not everything is as it seems on the gram. I’ve heard people say that IG features people’s highlight reel of their lives. I […]

Everyone fell in love with Jennifer in Friends, where she played the lovable Rachel Green. I loved Rachel’s style in the early years because it was a nice mix of cool and quirky, especially most of the short skirts, baggy pants, and body hugging sweaters. I also loved Rachel’s […]

Sseko Designs Launches New Designs for Fall

August 4, 2017 2 Comments

I had never heard of Sseko Designs until last August when I met Genavieve Moyer and her daughter at the BlogHer #16 conference in Los Angeles. It was kind of serendipitous that we met that early morning at the The Original Pantry Cafe. I talked about my blog and how I’m just a city girl living in the country with my husband and our two furbabies. Then she talked about her blog and her life out on the farm with her husband and children. Then Genavieve shared with me her excitement at becoming a Sseko Mentor Fellow and the good […]
