Infinity Scarves


I love infinity scarves. They are cozy, comfy, and if you still struggle with tying a scarf, they are your best bet. I keep wanting to get more. Here are some favorites. Also a perfect gift idea.
Here are a few ways I've styled the ones I own.

Friday Fives: Ready for Spring

We had a little taste of spring for a few hours yesterday and that put me in the mood for spring shopping. Spring means color, dresses and no more socks. Here a few items I'm loving. What's on your wish list for spring?
1. Green Dresses: Green is a color that flatters every skin tone in my opinion. The dresses shown here flatter all body types. When in doubt, wear green; and a green dress that flatters your shape? Perfection!

Fit and Flare Dress Cap Sleeve Dress . Maxi Dress


2. Arm Candy: I'm still loving cross body bags. They are going to be hot for spring. A navy colored handbag is a nice switch up from your basic black or brown.

3. Cropped pants: Cropped pants definitely mean spring. Wear with a fitted blazer and with pumps or low heeled sandals

4. Colored Pumps: Add a pop or color block any outfit with colored heels. These pumps are all from Nine West (my favorite shoe store) and I can attest to their comfort.

Friday Fives: Creativity, Lovely Quotes and Love

Happy Friday and Happy love day! Here are five things that got me smiling, thinking and growing this week.
 
1. I'm still reading this book How Successful People Think: Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life (I should be done by now) and I love the thoughts on creativity. I've never seen myself as a creative thinker and never thought I could learn to be creative. I thought people were just born to be creative. There are so many points which warrant a seperate post but here are a few phrases listed that kill creative thinking: I'm not a creative person, Follow the rules, Don't ask questions, Be practical, We've never done it this way before, It didn't work for them, We don't have time, We don't have the money etc. How many ideas have you killed because of these phrases?
 
"A new idea is delicate, it can be killed by a sneer or a yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a quip and worried to death by a frown. Negative environments kill thousands of great ideas every minute"
   
 
2. Whenever I take a break at work to work on Avon or this blog, I keep telling myself: "I wish I could do this all day" and then I found this quote on Instagram this week. This is one sure way to determine what you need to be doing.
 
 
 
 3. I just discovered Instaquote this week. I've always wondered where all the beautiful and graphic quotes that I see on Facebook came from. Here's one I created on true love. This was how I made sure that I loved my husband (and not just lusting after him) before marrying him. The bible has everything you need for life doesn't it?
 
 
4. Here is a screen shot of tweets this week from my other Twitter account. Building the Growth Studio slowly but surely.
 
 
 
5. Also in honor of Valentine's day, enjoy this video. How come I never heard of this guy before?

Five Things Friday: Beauty Style Growth

I enjoyed putting together my first Five Things Post two weeks ago. I think I would love to continue this so my Five Things post will always feature something beauty style and growth related. Hope you enjoy and as a follow up, thanks to everyone who followed me on Instagram. I'm loving it now.

1. The grey sweat shirt has become so popular,  it's almost impossible not to own one. Other sweatshirt designs have been popping up and they are hot for spring. Check out these ones from Gap.

2. I just started using my Podcast app more actively since I'm working on starting a new business. I was searching for business Podcasts to listen to and stumbled upon these two: YFE Chat and Glambition Radio with Ali Brown. Ali Brown is officially my mentor from afar. I've been listening non stop and a new entrepreneurship fire has been ignited in me. If you are currently running a business or thinking of starting one, be sure to download these two. 
You'll learn a lot from the various business owners interviewed weekly. My favorite features so far: Alli Webb of the Dry Bar, Tory Johnson of Spark and Hustle and Ali Brown's interview on the YFE Chat.

3. Here are a few hand picked items for you.  Sweaters, boots, shoes, bags and dresses, all reasonable priced. I may purchase one of the black boots. Click on the right arrow in widget to see more.



4. If you are looking for the perfect moisturizing lipstick, look no further than the new Ultra color Absolute Lipstick. Pink lips anyone? Other colors available here


5. I have no idea who this guy is but I find some (not all) of his tweets hilarious. The Lady Gaga one had me cracking up.
