Hello friends
I hope you are enjoying the day and all is good in your neighborhood. I still haven’t decided as to where we will be going to see fireworks. We will either go to Wilmington and see Macy Gray, or downtown Middletown or maybe just stay home and watch WaWa Welcome America featuring Kevin Hart, The Roots, Ne-Yo, Jill Scott, and others.
Where do you go to see 4th of July fireworks?
This is what I wore to work yesterday, how do you like my Red White & (Polka Dot) Blue outfit?
Top – Ross // Jeans – JCPenney

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!
I’ve been MIA due to a snafu with GoDaddy for Web Hosting and the transferring of my domain – things just didn’t go well so I’m back! Today is the end of the work week for me because tomorrow is the HOLIDAY – YAY and we are closed on Friday.
What are your plans for Independence Day? I haven’t made any yet because of the weather, it has been raining since Sunday. I hope the sun will make an appearance at least one day this weekend so I can fire up the grill and lounge poolside.
Tuesday’s outfit was totally thrifted from GW Boutique.
Tank, Belt and Capris – Goodwill
Flats – GW Boutique
Channeling Patty Duke!

Hello Friends,
do you want to make the 1st Monday of the summer better?
Then do what I do, think of your favorite summer songs, you know the ones that you just have to hear every year no matter how old it is…the ones you only listen to when it’s hot outside or when you’re on vacation?
Okay, now download, stream or pull them up on Pandora, turn up the volume, then sing along loudly in your office or cubicle – sike…don’t get fired…or carted off to Bellevue, just sing quietly and chair dance!
This is the list with link to my six favorite summer songs.
Sundress – C.o.C.o Brown & The Phat Cat Players
Summertime – Will Smith
Under The Boardwalk – The Drifters
Celebration – Kool & The Gang
Hot Hot Hot – Buster Poindexter
Heatwave – Martha & The Vandellas
Summer songs and summer wear seem to go hand-in hand, hence my #1 jam, so when it’s hot all day everyday, I prefer a sundress. This is one of my favorites thrifted from GW Boutique.
Infinity Scarf – Target (clearance)
Sandals – Ross
It’s getting HOT out here!

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!
After yesterday’s round of torrential rains that caused major flooding, today turned out to be a perfect Spring day. A great day to sit in the park or take a leisurely walk. Whatever you have planned for the day make sure to spend a little time outdoors before the heat of summer begins.

Hello Friends and Happy Monday!
I hope you had a wondeful weekend and that your work week got off to a good start. Today is the first day of my weight loss program with Nutrisytem and I am extremely excited, really looking forward to not only losing pounds and inches but once again concentrating on portion control. I am not going to bore you with daily updates on what I ate or how many pounds I did or did not lose, I just want to feature my look on Day 1 so that at the end of the month we’ll all see a noticeable difference.
I will wear this dress again on Day 28
Cuff – CitiTrends // Bag – Ross
Day 1 meals are complete, now heading downstairs to workout
Have a fantabulous evening – Smooches!

A perfect way to end the work week, it’s nice when peers take the time to say they appreciate you and the work that you do.
Do you take time to show or tell co-workers that you appreciate them?
