What Goes Around Comes Around

And I am not just talking about good karma!  These days we have to be aware of everything; from what we eat to what we throw away and our daily carbon footprints we leave behind.   That’s why recycling is so important these days.  Recycling is more than throwing your plastic bottles and cans in the recycling bins, it’s about Reusing and Reducing as well, and doing so has never been so chic!

Most people look at vintage clothes as unique timeless pieces (which they are), but they are also the best way in recycling beautiful pieces that is all ready made and out in the world.  Why waste mother nature’s time and energy when you can reduce your carbon footprint with these unique, vintage and recycled pieces below!  Cheers to good karma!

These eco-chic finds can be found on Etsy and The Daily Green

A Sweet Day

Valentine’s day is about the moments we share with our loved ones.  Sure diamond earnings don’t hurt, but I rather experience something that will last.  Don’t do the cliché of buying the obvious flowers, candy, and a cards.  Do something with meaning and something you will remember.  So what I am actually telling you is to not buy a thing this holiday!!  Here are some awesomely romantic ideas, to spark creativity, love, and lasting memories:

~ Go to a winery or brewery; most wineries are doing wine and chocolate themes as well as music and dancing.

~ Get creative, take a class in art to spark each others inner artist or try pottery making and glass blowing, being hands on with each other is ever so sweet.

~  Do something extreme; go rock climbing, snowboarding, skiing, ect.  being in an extreme environment, will elevate your trust, bring out your strength, as well as create security with your loved one, while taking you out of your comfort zone.

~ Take a yoga class together- most yoga centers offer a couples class this time of year, it’s a great way to relieve stress and focus on each other.  Many of the moves help create balance and breathing flow between the couples as well as strength and trust.

~ Throw on something cute, grab a camera and start shooting away.  Find a decorative sheet or cloth to hang as the backdrop or get outside and laugh.  As a DIY project turn those pictures into magnets, using MOO the best website ever!  This is cheap and easy day that will definitely last a lifetime.

This list can go on and on, so get creative and have fun and remember it’s not how you spend, but the little details and effort you put in!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Valentine’s Day Amour

Something about the month of February makes me want to wear pink, lace, and sexy heels…maybe that’s just me.  It is the month of love and whether you are in a relationship or not its a month of being feminine and feeling like a goddess.  Remember its the little details that will do that, from treating yourself to a pedicure, to throwing on a cute lace top, or  to wearing hot red lipstick.

My inspiration piece:  Emily Blunt in Dolce & Gabbana, engulfs love, glam, femininity and looks like a true goddess of love!
