Morning ladies,Well tomorrow is Valentine's Day and I decided to wear another Valentine look. I thought I would talk about what i am wearing and also let you know it is my 4 year Blog Anniversary! I had mentioned in a prior post, that it has been 10 years since I had been diagnosed with EDS, and 4 years ago as i began to write this blog. At the time, I thought it sounded like a fun hobby. I didn't have a ton of expectations, only to meet other ladies with a similar interest in fashion, and to enjoy being creative. I needed my mind to go somewhere other than to the pain I was experiencing. Today, I thought I would discuss what i have learned in 4 years of blogging. Just a little teaser, I'll be attending a Blogger event in NYC in March, so in the near future, I will share what brand and the exciting time we have planned!

 Good morning ladies!Leopard is one of those prints that is so fun to wear, and I consider it a neutral. Pair it with solids, wear with stripes, color or other neutral tones and it is always so stylish. I have really got to loving it over the past several years as it seems a popular print with bloggers. Some leopard can look cheap or cheesy, so you have to look at the material or the style of product you are choosing.

 Did I get your attention? I am not really talking about me persay, but rather a question I would get asked by adult students before considering lessons,  and also a question people may ask themselves once they reach a certain age. After teaching guitar for many years, I have heard the refrain, ' Am I too old... (to- insert interest here) "to learn an instrument?' I can honestly say  I never thought there was a time limitation to learning. So, of course i tell the adult that wants to study guitar, of course not!

Hello Friends,You know I love Karina dresses. It is no secret. They are stylish, fun and don't wrinkle. I am trying to think when I last saw my iron board. This paisley dress with pops of coral, pinks , red and fuscia was just the dress to style for Valentine's Day. You can always wear red if you like, but I love thepaisley print and adding touches of pink for a feminine look on this day.

Happy MondayI hope you all had a wonderful weekend! We went to see the Tonya Harding movie, and really enjoyed it and Allison Janey's performance. Tonya's mother was a piece of work. The girl selling us tickets told us, "I think it is about a famous skater..." i had to laugh,as we lived through the whole Tanya Harding/Nancy Karrigan experience... and of course, the Superbowl.Anyhow, moving on to today's post... I know these Winter months can wreck havoc on our skin if we don't take care of it. My skin is considered "normal" but it can get dry from time to time. I was contacted by Saranghae, an award winning  skin care company to review their 5 step system.

Happy Friday ladies!February already! wow. Can anyone else completely wipe January off the calendar and be good with that? My favorite season is Fall, cool air, beauty in the trees and nature. Winter, a stark contrast, with bare trees, cold weather and an instinct to stay inside, can make it difficult for one's state of mind and body.  Keeping fit can be a challenge, for some, in the Winter months, but also a necessity for those with a chronic condition.

Good Morning Friends,I have to say I find winter to be a tough time of year. The warm heat in the Spring and Summer shining down has a positive effect on my muscles. Heat relaxes and has a calming feeling for me. In the Winter, I feel the joints in my hands stiffen and more knots seem prevelant, causing pain and stiffness in my body. I have mentioned the possibility of having SAD ( seasonal Affective Disorder) but have never checked on it with my doctor. I know this is not the only solution, but wearing bright colors or many colors can help your frame of mind. Instead of reaching for the black, grey, dark tones we might gravitate toward this time of year, try mixing bright colors or try color blocking.

 Good Morning friends,I hope you had a great weekend!First, I want to say, thank you for offering suggestions for topics you are interested in hearing on the blog. I have made note and plan on posting some of those suggestions in the  coming months.  We went and saw Phantom of the Opera in Charlotte last night, and it was SO Good!! I love the music in Phantom, and the baritone voice of the man who played " Phantom" is something i could listen to all of the time. I love it! The seats were wonderful, I knew the music well and it will be a memory I cherish. I won't go into what some wore to the theatre, only to say Sports jerseys and plaid shorts are probably not the best bet! I think it is still an evening out where people dress up to see the theatre. Now.. on to the matter at hand.. wearing white jeans in the winter....
