Send the Trend!

2011-06-05T21:25:00.000-06:00

I am trying a couple new websites this month and Send the Trend is one of them. I got a groupon for send the trend and pick out a couple styles I liked I got 4 credits and had a hard time choosing but this is what I got.

Send the trend has a wonderful selection of hats, sunglasses, scarves, belts and jewelry. I will definitely be going back for more if the quality is good. I purchased mostly jewelry this time because that is what i need the most of. I know the yellow necklace will go great with a royal blue shirt that just currently purchased. I am excited to get my order and I will be letting everyone know the quality!! If you would like to sign up to get your own Send the Trend Showroom ~~~> Click Here!

Groupon!

2011-06-05T20:45:00.000-06:00

I love Groupon!! I have been getting a lot of deals on there lately! They have a great variety of deals for great prices. I look mostly for the online deals but you can look up your city and find great local deals as well. You can buy everything from Name A Star, a burger at a local restaurant or many health and beauty deals. Some popular deals are JewelMint, Send The Trend, Shop the Look, ShoeDazzle, and e.l.f cosmetics. A lot of girls have purchased the ShoeDazzle groupon so they know how it works. For everyone else it is really simple and easier then most of the other coupon websites. When you press purchase on the product page it will take you to the purchase page where you will select how many you want and enter your payment information. It will then confirm the purchase and then give you your code to share your groupon if you think you know someone who would like it I definitely suggest sharing it since it will give you $10 credit for everyone you get to sign up! Plus it is sharing a great deal with your friends and family! After your purchase goes through you can then go to the tab that says My Groupons. You will then see the item you purchased and it will say Print next to it. Select Print and it will then open a document that has your groupon code and directions on how to use it. I hope this helps and of course if you have any questions at all feel free to ask I will start posting Groupon Deals on here for you ladies so as always happy shopping! I hope you all find some good deals out there!
Here is my invite link for Groupon ~~> Click here! You can look at your city or others for great deals!

JewelMint June Selection!

2011-06-05T20:24:00.000-06:00

So I am getting a few items from JewelMint as well this month since I got the groupon deal!! If you want to know more about groupon deals read my post about the groupon website and how it works. So I got 2 credits from the groupon deal and these are the items I chose to get with it.

I liked these two pieces a lot the necklace goes really well with a dress I purchased recently and I just thought the earrings were pretty. I will figure out what they go with when they get here. A lot of the things that I liked were sold out unfortunately but I am happy with my purchase I will take pictures and do reviews when I receive my new accessories!!

ShoeDazzle June Selections!

2011-06-02T23:58:00.000-06:00

I must say I love this month's selections!! I was disappointed with April and May but now I am very happy with the new styles! I have 4 shoes I am getting right now and then I have some decisions to make and I also want to see the Signature Sole and any other later releases before I use all of my credits! I am getting a couple more flats because I need more shoes to run around with my kids in. We have been going to the park and stuff because the weather is better and running around in a park with a 7 month old and 2 year old in heels is very unrealistic and just not very smart... With that being said here are my June selections! I will be doing reviews on each when I receive them!

This is Annalee and she was love at first site. I decided to get the Pink and Black instead of the grey and black just because the grey and black because I felt the pink was softer and more of what I like!! But both colors are beautiful and not too high so they would make good work shoes for the office workers!!! I will let you know how comfortable they really are once I get my hands on them!

This beauty is Brigit! I have had my eyes on her for a long time and I finally decided if i didn't get her I would be mad at myself. She is just so gorgeous and unique, I love the bright color and details of this shoe! I am looking forward to getting these but I don't know how often I will wear her, one thing I do know is I will be so so happy to add her to my collection!

I feel like Climb is just so cute and absolutely perfect for running around after my kids! It's a great brand (Converse) and a pretty design put together... Absolute love! I know I will get a lot of use out of these!

Like I said earlier I need some flats. I normally would never spend 39.95 on flats! I got credits from Groupon and I had Groupon cash so really these were kind of free! Doesn't get better then that! I think for flats these are very stylish and cute I have lots of outfits I can wear them with and I can be out with the kids and still look fabulous! Perfect summer sandal IMO!

So these are the featured Shoes on the SD site for June. A couple of oldies which are the Signature Soles and then the new gold collection as SD put it. I think I like all of these selections for different occasions! That is definitely a first!! Cudos to you SD you did very well with the styles this month!

I don't like all the styles in my showroom but they weren't bad. I have a couple more shoes that I am thinking about getting with my remaining 3 credits but I will be waiting to see what comes out!

The bags in my Showroom to me were not really too impressive but I have seen a couple in friends showrooms that looked interesting!

Here are a couple more shoes and bags that caught my eye! Florence, Nettie and Alaina... Florence and Alaina are very classy and laid back but so fashionable and make a statement but Nettie makes the real statement! Not everyone can pull Nettie off and you definitely have to know not to overdress with a shoe like Nettie. It is meant to be the statement piece and needs to be paired with a more neutral outfit like a tank and some shorts or a cute little pink or white dress! I might make a posting with some outfits for Nettie!

I know I have been a little behind but it is only because I am still living in a hotel. I was hoping to be in a house by now so my reviews have been missing because I haven't even been getting my packages I have had to send them elsewhere but I now have set up a temporary mailbox so I will be able to get mail and packages. So look for much more coming very soon! I'm Back!

Wedding Theme Contest Winner!!

Wedding Theme Contest Final Five Voting!!!

2011-05-16T23:55:00.000-06:00

So the ladies have sent in their ideas and five were chosen to make style boards! I will put a poll up on the side of the page for you to vote for your favorite idea. Read all five look at the style boards and vote!!! Only one vote will be allowed per person. Good luck ladies and the surprise prize is a travel kit from the manderine hotel! I have one and believe me it is great for when you are traveling and don't want to carry full size hygiene products! Plus it comes in a cute little bag that can be used as a make-up bag! So, here are the five finalists!

Tatiana Chavez - Romeo and Juliet

So as I was explaining my theme I am including my style board.

The dress is white with red shoes and red flowers representing the

Profound and everlasting love that Romeo and Juliet vowed to each other.

The bridesmaids contrasting the bride, bringing the most expected wedding to life.

I chose a wedding in the park because I felt that’s where Juliet would have chosen

To do it. Maybe a nice Gazeebo reflecting the Balcony where Romeo would go

And declare his love to Juliet, a perfect place share your life lasting Vows.

It will be a very classic and romantic wedding, The style board pretty much tells

The story for its self.

Tasha Henderson - Delicately Bold

Ceremony:

Ive included the picture of the ceremony venue with the high ceilings and long sheers. An inside venue will be perfect for any kind of weather and guarantee great lighting, the picture has a dance floor but that is optional as Ive stated before. The aisle picture is a perfect example of floor lighting and brings in another touch of Romance with flower petals.

Cocktail Hour:

The cocktail hour traditionally occurs between the ceremony and reception. It will allow for you and your hubby to get some photo time in while allowing the guests to mingle and catch up with friends and family they may not have seen in a while. Also the drinks can be alcoholic or non, and can be served from a host bar, or simply include two or three cocktail choices that are butler passed (champagne, a signature cocktail, etc). Hor d'oeuvres can be served at mini food stations or also butler passed. The pic i have given you gives you a little idea.

Reception:

The picture Ive included has ample seating for friends and family dining, there is room for dancing and the decorations are open and with the floating lanterns it still remains romantic.A catering service is a wonderful option for dinner. It ensures that every guest will receive food and that clean hands will be handling the food. If there is a set menu there should be a appetizer consisted of a selection between a soup or a basic salad with vinaigrette. For the entreé we had a selection of either Chicken, Beef, or Fish. One of the hottest trends right now in reception food is the “small plate” meal. It's unexpected, contemporary and very different from the traditional sit down meals that people are accustomed to having at weddings. small plates meal is comprised of many different choices, all served on their own separate small plate. For a nice switch, a fun and tasty idea is to incorporate Fondue! But not your typical chocolate fountain, try a cheese fountain!

Candy Buffet/Wedding Favors:

The most popular reason to create a candy buffet, however, is to use it for self serve candy wedding favors. In this way, guests can choose their own favorites from the candy options available, filling a bag, tin, or box with sweetness to remember your wedding day. Ive posted a Pic of a really cute pink and blue one.

Colors/Theme/Decoration:

Turquoise/Blue and Pink (light or dark)

Delicately Bold

Melissa Thomas - The Roaring 20's

The theme of your wedding is *Roaring 20’s* All of your bridesmaids are in flapper dresses (color of your choice), sleek hair with a headpiece/headband, perhaps with a feather tucked in the side of the headpiece. Your wedding dress is an elegant white dress which is slightly fitted with a short train. Your ‘veil’ is more of a netted headpiece with two white flowers on the side. You are going to be wearing long pearl necklaces and white satin gloves. The shoes will be a classic and beautiful ivory silk peep toe pump with a 3 ½ inch heel. The shoe is accented with pearl and rhinestones in the middle above the peep toe. Your make-up will be smoky eyes and a red tinted lip. The groom will be wearing a white zoot suit with a black tie and a black fedora hat that has an ivory silk band around it. The wedding cake is a 4 tier black and white cake with crystals strung all around the tiers and features elegant stencil work, along with white roses and
pearls. After the wedding you and your groom will have a party which theme will be *All that Jazz* where everyone will dance some of the famous dances of the 20’s, such as the Lindy Hop, Tango, and Charleston to name a few. After the party bride and groom will depart in a beautifully restored 1927 Cadillac Coupe.

Robyn Ewing - Tropical Forrest

Envision a tropical forest atmosphere. With the feel of Hawaii. This type of atmosphere is a very relaxed and enjoyable feeling. It would show romance, beauty and like you are in a different place with all your friends and family.

The dress apparel should be tropical, sarongs for the women. Bring in beautiful plants and Lei necklaces, bamboo bar, tables and chairs outside to view the beautiful scenery.
Food should be served from stations that are setup like tiki huts in a buffet style but you can have them served if wanted. I would say 5-6 food stations depending on how many guests.
Props are important to make the feel more tropical and Hawaiian. Examples: surfboard, belly dancers (optional), fruits, benches with flowers cascading them. Maybe a gazebo if you already have one that will work, dance floor to be hay straw or outdoor flooring (keeps it all natural outdoor feel)

Angela Mueller - Midsummer's Night Dream/ Starry Night

Picture and outdoor wedding, the theme starts in the reception, later in the night when the sky is dark with out door midnight blue tents, light up with candles and hanging lights. I was just think of those summer nights back in highschool, when you have no cares in the world, young and in love.

Women Helping Women Make the World a Better Place!

2011-05-13T11:32:00.000-06:00

This posting is not about fashion but it is important and I really want to put this out there. My mother is part of a movement that is just incredible and I would like to take this time to tell you about it. So many people in the world right now do not have safe drinking water. This is so serious and it is causing many diseases and death in the world. The Global Women's Water Initiative is working on improving the conditions of many villages to give the people safe drinking water. My mother is going to be part of this movement this summer. She will be traveling to Uganda to learn more from the women who deal with these issues everyday. This group consists of women from the global north, as well as women from East Africa, who will be working together to help launch and support self-reliant water projects in communities there. For more information on this fellowship, go to http://womensearthalliance.org/section.php?id=166. This is an exciting opportunity for her to get a hands-on education about water issues and how they are being addressed in local communities. I ask of you just to take the time to learn a little bit about this group. And please consider making a donation (even $10 would make a difference). If you are not able to donate anything that is perfectly fine. Not everyone can donate, but everyone can pass it on to their friends and family and support this cause. I have attached a video for everyone to learn a little bit more about these amazing women and this amazing movement! Thank you for taking the time to read this and please help these women make the world a better place and give millions of people the chance to have clean drinking water. Something we in our lives probably never even think about but that they have to worry about everyday.
Please go to this link to this link to donate! Click here to Donate! Thank you!

Beyond The Rack

2011-04-02T18:46:00.000-06:00

I have discovered a great discount site called Beyond The Rack! So far I have bought 3 pairs of Michael Antonio shoes from this site. I love the prices and the deals. There are different deals everyday you can find Loubs to Baby Phat. Clothes, household goods, fine china, men's shoes, women's shoes, children toys, and pretty much anything else you can find for sale on this site depending on the day! There is a downside and it is a big one there are no returns. I am selling one of the pairs of shoes because they didn't fit, but it isn't too bad because I got them at such a great price I will get all my money back. It is just a pain in the behind! So here are my pretties I got from the site!

Shoe Privee!

2011-03-28T00:28:00.000-06:00

So this is another shoe club I have discovered. I haven't liked a lot of their selections but today I fell in love with one of their shoes. This is Update. I think it has a unique look which is something I look for! I went back and forth on this shoe because I wasn't sure how many outfits I could put with her but the more I thought about the clothes I have purchased, the more I realized she could liven up my wardrobe and would actually go with a lot.

I am working on a few style boards and will be posting them soon. I think this shoe can be dressed up o many different ways. Well hopefully I will get them sometime next week and I will update everyone on the fit and first impression of Shoe Privee.

If you like this style and want to sign up for Shoe Privee use this link. www.ShoePrivee.com

More Shoe Dazzle!!!

2011-03-27T02:38:00.000-06:00

I have a few new additions to my collection, some are replacements for sizing issues others are just new! I got the Amour in a 1/2 size bigger and now she fits perfectly!!! I absolutely love this shoe! So different then anything else in my closet, she really stands out! I am so excited to put outfits together to go with her and compliment her unique look. I think the bright color is great for spring and summer yet I could picture her standing out in the winter as well! She will definitely be a favorite, and she is pretty comfortable(now that I have the right size). I say if you are looking at her go for it she is awesome!

This is a top view, you can see the detail on the front! I will be pairing gold accessories with these shoes. I was thinking a pink top with light grey leggings and gold accessories( at least for one of the outfits) . I will post pics when I wear them out!

These are the grey signature sole! They look awesome but they are super stiff not sure if I will be keeping these. I know the heel looks crooked but it is not it was just the angle. Look at the next picture down. I love the look, but hate the feel... Decisions, decisions.. what to do ladies? What would you do?

These are the Black signature sole. They have the same issue as the grey. Let me know your opinions on whether to keep or let them go due to discomfort.

Aren't they fabulous though? ! :-(

This is Bliss- Coffee no Cream!!!! She is my new favorite! I went up 1/2 size and she fits absolutely perfect and is so comfortable! Also she goes with so many outfits in my closet and I can wear her for any event. Being such a versatile shoe how could I not fall in love? She was well made and has no flaws(at least in my opinion). She is sexy, comfortable, and affordable, what more could a girl ask for?

Here is a top view of Bliss. I know a lot of people were curious about this shoe from the top. When I took her out of the shoe box I thought I was going to have some shoe cleavage but they fit perfectly in every way! <3!!!!!

Ok, I know I already posted the Mel B but I didn't like the pics so I decided to post this one. I still think she is a great shoe despite her flaws. Not to mention she is comfortable!

This is Danika... This is a shoe I have been in love with for ever. Unfortunately I could not get her to fit me. She is way to narrow :-( I tried the ice trick and the sock trick. Both methods were a no go. The shoe did stretch a little bit, but no where near enough. I can't even get my feet all the way in the shoes. It makes me very sad to say goodbye to these shoes... :-( I know you ladies can feel me when I say it is a sad day when you have to send a beautiful shoe away.

Just Fabulous!

2011-03-27T01:32:00.000-06:00

I joined Just Fabulous around the same time as Shoe Dazzle just wasn't drawn to my showroom and had no way to look up other shoes on the site therefore I have only purchased 2 pairs of shoes and both were special edition and not from my Showroom. The first pair was the Pink Giovanna!

Giovanna is not too comfortable but very, very pretty!!! I love the way she looks! In my opinion she can make just about any outfit pop. I wore her with a white blouse, black skirt and pink and silver accessories and got many compliments. I definitely think a plain outfit is best with her and let her do the talking and the walking lol! No defects, well made and sexy as all you know what in my opinion! I'm glad I am able to add her to my collection.

The next purchase I made was about a week ago I got one of the W3 special edition shoes named Malone. She is a nude faux suede. She is very comfortable. I order her 1/2 big just in case the toe box was tight. I have a little bit of room but that just means I can use some inserts and make her even more comfy! She is a perfect nude for my skin tone in my opinion and can't wait to wear her out and about these will be more of a day and professional shoe for me. Great edition to any wardrobe!

So far my JustFab experience has been pretty good just wish I could look at other shoes in other peoples showrooms. I'm sure I would be getting much more from them if I could. They have a better rewards program also and better bags. I hope net month's showroom is better so that I can try more of their shoes!

So I signed up and decided to try Sole Society. They have a really cute selection and their shoes are supposed to be of higher quality then the other shoe clubs. The first shoe I chose to try is Karla!

She is a cute black bootie with white polka dots and the back is faux suede and the rest is a sheer fabric. I love this shoe! I feel that the look is unique but conservative! I could wear them to the office or to a meeting or a night out with the girls! She is comfortable although she is a bit tight in the toes but not too bad. So my first experience with Sole Society is a good one and I will be trying more! I am thinking my next purchase will be Natalie which is a faux snakeskin shoe with a very unique design. But we will see I have a couple I have my eyes on. Of course I will keep everyone posted on how this club is and review each shoe. Since it i more expensive I feel this helps make the decision if it is worth the extra $10 for you.

If you decide to sign up please use my link! The more shoes I can get the more reviews I can write! :-) Happy Shopping ladies and I will be posting again soon!

Hiding my addiction!!

2011-03-21T14:32:00.000-06:00

So my Boyfriend isn't too happy about my addiction lol... He doesn't think I will wear all the shoes. So just to avoid the arguments I have been trying to hide at least some of the purchases. I have resorted to dresser drawers but I will be packing all my clothes soon and have decided to leave space for extra shoes in the boxes that I know he won't look in! I love my shoes can't give them up but I won't lose my love for my addiction either. My son seems to like my shoes though and my daughter is only 5 months but when she gets a little older her closet will be similar to mine!

In the past two months I will admit I have gone a little shoe mad but that is because I am recreating a wardrobe basically from scratch. I got 23 pairs of shoes I feel that I could have done worse considering and at least I got them all for a good price! <~~~Hahaha yes that is me trying to justify my addiction the best I can!! I will have to take a short break from purchasing though because I will be moving in three weeks and then I will be staying in a hotel until I find a house so that means no where to ship to :-(... That gives me time to give you lovely ladies good reviews on my current shoes though and I will let you know the clothing and beauty finds I come across as well. I currently purchased from MARK and I will let you know about that as well. Hiding these purchases is becoming quite a chore in my small house! Plus I don't like taking my shoes out of the boxes because I am too afraid either my son or my dog will get them... :-( Well my new home will have a place for my shoes for sure!! Moving to Cali will be nice! I will get my shoes faster! ^_^ Awesome!!!!!!

A Couple SD Shoes!!

2011-03-20T01:10:00.000-06:00

This was my first ShoeDazzle purchase. Shelley!!! Yes it is a bag and not shoes. I couldn't decide on the shoes quite yet so I got Shelley and I love her! I use her all the time, perfect for a Mom on the go I can fit everything from snacks and diapers to makeup and wallet, it is great!!!

Shelley looks much better in person but this was the best pic I could get.

Now these are Emlyn!!!! She was my first shoe purchases and I absolutely love her!!! I love that all the shoes have names it makes it that much more fun! Emlyn fit me perfectly and I think they are a sey and unique looking shoe.

Ciara is sooooo comfortable it is unbelievable looking at her i certainly did not thikn she wold be so comfortable and easy to walk in. She is quite a vixen and is one of my boyfriends favorites <3 ;-)!!! Great shoe!!!

This is Bebe not as comfortable as some of the others but I think she is hot!! I fell in love with this shoe when I first saw her and I fell in even more in love when i had her in hand! Plus she spices my closet up I love it.

Mekko despite how she appears is not too bad in the comfort area. I probably could have gone up a size but she was sold out so I kept these ones. They go great with my neutral colors and get a lot of attention and compliments. I must say she is my favorite boot!

These are the Velvet Angel Heaven Flats. They are listed on the Velvet Angel site for $295 but I got them during the Dazzle Deal in Febuary for $39.95. Quite a deal! I have started to break them in and since they are real leather they continue to become more comfortable with every wear!

May I introduce you to Hayes!!!! She is my favorite so far! I wore her on my Valentines Day date and she is soo comfortable, very unique and so soft and velvety!! I can't express enough how muh I love this shoe!!!! Lots of looks and lots of compliments when I wore her!

This Lianna unfortunately she was a little too big and had to go back. Just one of those shoes that didn't really fit me physically or mentally I just wasn't in love like with the others so i traded her for Danika.

This is another Velvet Angel called Inifintiy and just like the others was $295 on the Velvet Angels site but I purchased them for $39.95! Lovely shoes!!!! Great Deal!!!!!!!!

These are my Cijis in Burgandy, I want the other colors as well but they are sold out. She is fairly comfortable but I just am really in love with how these look on and with my outfits.

Now introducing Mel B. There have been many issues with these shoes I wonder how Mel B feels about that? My pair was not too bad, there is a little bit of cellulite as we like to say but it is not noticable when i am wearing them so I am keeping her I just think she is beautiful and couldn't get rid of her... I will be Mod Podging the rhinestones before i venture out in these shoes though!

The one and only Amour!!! She is so beautiful in person! I say if you can get her then do it!! She is gorgeous! This pair will be going back and I already have a bigger size on the way to me. They were a little too tight in the toes. I will wait for the new pair to come though because I really want this shoe and if those are not perfect like these ones then I will just stretch these ones and send the others back. I have to have this shoes though lol!!!!

That is my SD collection so far other then Bliss and Danika whose pictures have not been taken yet. I have Reese, Singapore, Chanelle in Black and in grey, and Amour in a bigger size on the way so I will keep you ladies updated and I will share my other shoes with you as well! Like I said before I love ShoeDazzle and I think my collection expresses that!

ShoeDazzle is a shoe club and the first of its kind. It is a site where you take a quiz to determine your style. After you take the quiz hollywood stylist put together a showroom for you with shoes, purses and accessories. The top stylist of this site is Kim Kardashian and I must say I love the shoe styles! I have purchased 13 pairs of shoes and 2 bags from them. I will post pictures of all the shoes very soon. I find the styles to be refreshing and fun! The Quality on some of the shoes is not as good as others and some are not the quality I would prefer but the shoes are still beautiful. The bags so far for me have been good but I am sure that depends on the style as well.

The great thing about this site is if I don't like anything or can't afford it one month there is no obligation, all I have to do is hit the skip this month button before the 5th of the month! And if you just want to check it out you can join for free and won't be charged anything until you purchase your first item and even from there all you have to do is skip the month and you won't be charged. Everything on the site is $39.95 which if you look around is a good price for shoes and bags! I personally would rather get the cheap accessories from Forever21 and similar stores.

ShoeDazzle also has what they call Dazzle Deals every Tuesday and Thursday at 9am PST these for me have been hit or miss. I got $300 shoes for $39.95 on one of the Dazzle Deals but others have been things like sunglasses which I would not pay $39.95 for. Either way this is a great site and has great customer service. There are sometimes bad defects but all returns are free(unless you live in Canada) and the CS is very helpful in getting you either a replacement shoe or credit for your return. I personally LOVE ShoeDazzle and all the great ladies I have met through their FanPage!!!

To Start It Off!

Hello Ladies!!! This is my first post and I must admit that I am excited to share with you all my shoe journey! I am currently working on rebuilding my closet completely so I have been getting lots of new shoes and clothes. While shoe shopping I came across a shoe club called ShoeDazzle. I love it and that is where most of my new shoes are from. I am also a member of JustFab and Sole Society and will be giving a review on the clubs! I have also purchased from an upcoming shoe site called ShoeGlamm the site isn't up yet but I got a pair in the presale and I love it and can't wait until the site is up and runnning! Vi Storms who is a fellow dazzler and shoe lover is the one who is running the site so I encourage everyone to check it out when it comes up on Monday, the website is http://www.shoeglamm.com/.

ShoeDazzle like I said is a shoe club. They come out with new shoes, purses and accessories every month and you can either purchase an item or you can skip the month by the 5th of the month to avoid being charged. If you don't skip you will be charged $39.95 and will be given a credit to purchase any item on the site. You can buy as many as you want and everything on the site is 39.95. Both JustFab and Sole Society work the same way but Sole Society is $10 more. So far I have mostly purchased from ShoeDazzle just because I like the styles but I will go more into that in the individual reviews as well as links for each site.

I also sell and use Ardyss International products. I personally use the Body Magic and Levive Juice. I must admit that I love the products and it is one of the reasons I decided to be a distributor! Another reason is because Ardyss is a great company and has a great compensation plan. I will also do a post on this specifically to let you ladies know how Ardyss can benefit you and why I love it so much! If you would like to take a look at it in the meantime the site is www.ardysslife.com/healthynewu

I am so happy to get this started and will be updating this blog along with my closet. Hope that you ladies enjoy and follow along!! And please if you have any suggestions share them with me! Thanks Ladies have a great night!
