Friday Chit Chat

May 16, 2014

I love to talk.  Sometimes I just can’t help myself and will talk your ear off.  I think part of my problem is that I walk so much that it gives me LOTS of time to just think.  I problem solve while walking.  I plan while walking.  I reminisce while walking.  You name it.  It just clears my mind.  So here’s some of the random stuff I’ve been thinking about:

1.  Yesterday was my mom’s birthday.  I think about her every day since she’s been gone and always wonder if special days will be harder than others.  Quite frankly, I think I acknowledged the day yesterday but really didn’t let it overwhelm me.  Tomorrow my daughters and I will participate in another 5K for melanoma research.  These help us to honor her memory and raise money for research and awareness.

My gorgeous mama.  Look at that skin!  She was 68 years old in this picture.
2.  I met with a blog consultant this week and she’s helping me to figure out what I can do to make my blog even better.  I thoroughly enjoy everything about blogging and want to make my blog the best that it can be.  This will include a more regular posting schedule.  I think I’m going to try to start with Monday, Wednesday, Friday posts along with my Silent Sunday post.  We’ll see how it goes.  If you ever have a request for a review or topic that you’d like to see please don’t hesitate to ask.



This is the blog planner that I bought on Amazon.  It looks GREAT!  The only problem is that it doesn’t start until July.  Haha!  I guess I’ll just use my regular calendar for now.


3.  Do you ever get something done and wonder if maybe you shouldn’t have done it?  I’m referring to a haircut or a facial and things like that.  I had some of the sebaceous hyperplasia’s “burned” off my face at the dermatologist this past Monday.  They’re currently not looking too good.  I kinda wish I hadn’t had this done.  Maybe I just should have lived with the small bumps on my face.  Maybe they weren’t that bad after all.  I’ll update on this one in a few days.

4.  I think I’m going to donate my hair!  Yes, I think I’m putting this one on my bucket list.  I’ve been growing my hair out for several months and and it just sort of dawned on me a few weeks ago that I should maybe continue to grow it a few more inches and then donate it to a charity that makes wigs for cancer patients and others.  I’ll keep you updated on this one as well.  I just need to find out all of the requirements.

Well, that’s it for my chit chat today.  I hope everyone is doing well.  Have a fabulous weekend!!

    Your mom was gorgeous! Don’t stress about your procedure. Skin is incredibly healing. I do deep peels on myself and have some scary looking down time with them but they are always worth it. If you have emu oil you can use that to help heal up your skin too. You hair is to die for and would make a fabulous wig for someone who needs it!

    Stacie – you are healing and yet still remembering. This is good. I can’t tell you how much it touched me that you are thinking of donating your hair. xoxo Elle

    Oh, your Mom’s birthday is so close to Mother’s Day. Those days are hard enough, but so close together. I miss my Mama every day. I hope all is well with your spots on your face. Keep us posted! Enjoy the rest of your weekend also!

I love a Winter White outfit for the holidays!🎄 T I love a Winter White outfit for the holidays!🎄

These fun, textured Vegan Leather pants have a raw hem that makes it easy to just cut them for your perfect length.

I paired with a crystal embellished short sleeve sweater that’s even prettier in person and will look great with jeans too.

Friendships are an important part of our lives, so Friendships are an important part of our lives, so what better way to celebrate than with a Girlfriend’s Friendsgiving on our girl’s trip to Nashville.💖

We enjoyed spending time together and while there we gifted each other with some of our personal favorite things and Julie Vos jewelry is one of mine.💖

I think everyone would agree that @julievos jewelry is the perfect gift for every woman and we thank her for helping to make our celebration sparkle.💖 

I’m now calling these our “friendship bracelets”.💖

Annie wasn’t able to open her gift with us that day as she had to depart early for the birth of her first grandchild, but you can see that she loves her new jewels too!

Thanks to @blessingandsass @mcfatherdesigns @romyraves @arebelinprada for your friendship and support!

Be sure to visit the Julie Vos website for your holiday gifting needs and make a wishlist for yourself too!

Don’t you just love when you can count on the cons Don’t you just love when you can count on the consistent quality of a brand?! #ad

That’s how I feel about @soft_surroundings because I’m able to get staple pieces for my wardrobe every season and know that I’ll be able to incorporate them into my outfits for years to come.

These are just a few examples of pieces that I have that I love because they boost my confidence when I wear them.

Visit their website to find your wardrobe staples as well as some fun new things for the holiday season.

BONUS: They carry misses, petites and women’s sizes.🥰

I was so excited when the Italian shoe brand Balle I was so excited when the Italian shoe brand BallereTTe reached out to me a few weeks ago because I knew I’d be in Italy in November and they have a retail store in Venice that I could personally visit.

The brand was born in Rome and is inspired by the style and comfort needs of women. You can see some of their ballet flats, Mary Janes, loafers and more in this video.

I tried on several pairs until I found the one that I knew will fit perfectly into my lifestyle. I also made note of a few styles that I will order in the future since they ship worldwide (quickly and for a small shipping fee).🎉

Fun fact - Each flat shoe is named after a district of the eternal city or a historically and culturally significant area. Because the story of @balleretteofficial is deeply rooted in the territory: handcrafted in Italy with leathers carefully selected in Italian factories.

Thank you BallereTTe for your hospitality, the excellent customer service and my new shoes! I love them!!💖

I always have mixed feelings on the last day of ev I always have mixed feelings on the last day of every vacation… I am so grateful for the amazing trip we’ve had, but I don’t want it to end.

Be sure to check my stories and Europe 25 Highlight for a peek at some of my favorite moments that started in Greece and ended here in Venice.
