     I like being barefoot best but when I'm wearing my favorite heels, I've got to protect that investment! If you've worn heels in any outside setting, then I'm sure you've felt the dreaded 'sink in the mud' feeling with your shoes. Solemates protects your heels from sidewalk cracks, deck boarding, grass, mud, you name it! The caps just pop on & off as needed. They are available in 3 sizes and 4 colors: clear, black, silver & gold.

Visit TheSolemates.com to protect those cute shoes!!

    If Rainbow Brite showed up to your pool party, she'd most definitely be wearing this coverup! This striped kimono goodness is one of my fave most recent Amazon finds for $19.99 I'll be rocking this over several suits this summer & of course, will be sharing those too!!

Hibluco Sheer Chiffon Kimono $19.99

     For your most relaxed, natural smile think about how much your love your Instagram husband as you make him snap your pic. I had a dream of froclicking in our hayfield in this Free People "Daisy Chain" midi dress but little did I know that the matching wild daisies would be in full bloom for my photo opp!

      Found my new on-the-go gloss. Isadora's Twist-Up Gloss Stick is as addicting as chapstick but with the perfect amount of shine & a touch of glitter! I received all of the items pictured below for testing purposes.  My other 2 favorites in this line are the Stretch Lash Mascara & the All Day Wear 24hr Foundation. The mascara features a twist end on the wand that allows you to change the length & thickness of the brush. Its such perfect buildable formula & instantly gave my lashes a lengthening effect. The 24hr foundation is non-oily & lives us to its sweat & humidity proof claims. Its also skin-perfecting & eliminates the need for concealer! The only thing that needs added before I would make this my go-to shade would be SPF!



The complete Isadora cosmetics collection is available exclusively online at Walgreens.com. Here's a simple swatch of my gloss stick in shade: Toffee Pop. I'd love to see these in vibrant shades as well!


Isadora Twist Up Gloss Stick $14


Isadora Face Sculpter $25

Isadora Stretch Lash Mascara $18

Isadora 24 Hour Sweat/Humidity Proof Foundation $22

Isadora Waterproof Eyeliner $14 (comes off easily with eye makeup remover or micellar water!)

Isadora Muddy Nudes Eyeshadow Palette $16

     Fun Fact Friday! Did ya know: I started my blog/Twitter/Instagram almost 9 years ago?!!  Lost my spark, got busy falling in love & then VOILA! 1 day last year my now Instagram husband snapped my pic & I loved it! The rest is history & the new insta friendships are priceless!! Whether I interact with you on an almost daily basis or every once in awhile...Thank you for following along!!! Scroll for how baby blogger Stacia styled this skirt back in 2012!


     I took a 7 year old skirt from Juicy Couture & re-styled it with this adorable tee from Amazon! This quick fash forward was so easy with prime shipping & only cost $10.99! Size tip: I like my tees looser & usually go with a medium. For this brand, I ordered a Large (based on the size charts) & it fits like a true medium.

     After enjoying a nice long winter break from work, I decided it was time to get back in shape. I figured “28 days to get back to my goal weight, that sounds short & sweet”! Skinny Coffee Club offers a 28 day program, drinking a cup of their coffee blend once a day. I’m a regular coffee drinker so I stuck to my normal hot coffee (black with sugar free syrup flavoring) in the morning. Then each afternoon for my snack/pick me up, I added a teaspoon of the instant coffee, 8-10 ounces of water & a few ice cubes to my shaker cup... shake away then pour over ice. It was like the perfect frothy, cold brew coffee! You can also drink it hot but for me the iced skinny coffee served as great ways to satiate my appetite & break my afternoon snack attack habit!


Along with drinking my Skinny Coffee for 28 days, I made some changes to my diet & added minimal fitness goals.

For diet: 

1. No sugar
2. No alcohol
3. Little to no carbs

For exercise, I made these simple goals:

1. Close my move ring on my apple watch everyday
2. Do my sit-up routine (approx. 150 reps of various ab exercises)
3. Go for a nightly walk after dinner (only a quarter mile)

My Results:

1. Down 15 lbs.
2. Down 8.75 inches (combined total lost from before/after thigh, arm, waist, stomach & hips measurements)
