I discovered AdvoCare a couple of years ago. A group of people that I worked with went on the cleanse together. Up until that point, I was very skeptical of any dietary cleanses and had no desire to participate. The first thing that flashed through my mind when I heard the words “dietary detox” was the scene in the first season of Orange is the New Black where Piper and Larry were attempting an all juice master cleanse. It went so poorly for them that Piper cheated by eating pork rinds and wound up cutting the cleanse short. After seeing that, no dietary cleanse was anything that sounded like something…

Snake Skin Print Top with Mad Jade
Ok, so I have to be upfront and honest before I get too far into this post, but I had never heard of Mad Jade before now! They found me and I’m so glad that they did! Their site has so many cute and eclectic items. Everything seems to be very fairly priced too! As soon as I saw this top, I knew that I had to have it! I mentioned that snake print is one of the things that I’m most excited about right now in my blog post about the 2019 spring/summer trends that I’m digging. When I saw this top and then saw that it was on…

Baseball outfits for Opening Day
If there is one thing that you need to know about me, it is that I LOVE baseball – mainly the Brewers! I grew up about 1.5 hours from Milwaukee, and every year my dad would try to make it a point to take my brother and me to a ball game. We made so many great memories together at the ballpark. Those childhood experiences are definitely what ingrained the love for the game that I have today. Growing up, I would always struggle with what to wear to Brewer’s games. Because we lived so far away, we always made a day-long event out of heading to the ballpark. So…

My Current Favorite Accessories
No outfit is complete without the perfect accessories, right? The perfectly paired bracelet or scarf can take a good outfit and make it great! The best part about accessories is that pairing them with an older article of clothing that you might be a little tired of can completely update it and make you love it again. And if you shop like I do, a new pair of earrings tend to be cheaper than a new blouse or dress. Accessories tend to be a little more timeless and versatile than clothing as well. Thus, updating a few accessories can be a very cost-effective way of staying on trend without breaking…

One Cardigan, a Few Ways with Discovery
Today I wanted to share this cardigan that I found at Discovery Clothing. I’ve been blogging now for almost 5 months and I’ve been sharing a lot of Discovery finds on Instagram, but I really haven’t had the chance to share anything on here yet. I think that Discovery is an underrated store. They have a website and multiple locations throughout the Midwest and in Florida, but when I tell most people about it, they haven’t heard of it. So I just wanted to take the chance to share what I like about Discovery as well as my tips for shopping there. What I like most about Discovery: Discovery is…

Dressing for Spring in the Dead of Winter
It is still the dead of winter here in Wisconsin but now is about the time when I start to itch for spring. To compound my eagerness for the season to change, it seems like this is when ALL of the other bloggers and content creators that I follow along with are either 1) from the South where the weather is actually starting to warm up or 2) going on luxurious looking vacations where the weather is beautiful. That is just not my reality, and honestly, that’s totally OK with me! I’m Wisconsin born and raised, so a little (or a lot) of cold and/or snow doesn’t really bother…

Spring/Summer 2019 Trends I’m Diggin’
It is the absolute dead of winter here in Wisconsin, but I can’t stop thinking about spring! I already have a bunch of warmer-weather outfits that I am so ready to bust out of my closet. Unfortunately for me, I might be waiting longer than I’d like to before I get to don these threads. Last year, winter ran well into April. Who knows when spring will decide to arrive this year! In the meantime, I thought that I would share the 2019 spring/summer trends that I’m digging and excited to partake in. 1. White Boots Ok, if you ask anyone who follows fashion closely, they would tell you that…

Christmas Mountain in the Wisconsin Dells
If you were to ask a Wisconsinite, they would probably tell you that a trip to the Wisconsin Dells is generally regarded as a summertime activity. While it is true that a weekend in the Dells is the perfect “staycation” for a Wisconsin native during the summer, the Wisconsin Dells in the wintertime is extremely underrated and shouldn’t be overlooked! There is still a lot to do and see in the Dells during winter. It can be a lot of fun to experience it during the slower season. Obviously no one is rushing to the waterparks when the temperature is below freezing, but the Dells still has a lot to…

With Love, From Wisconsin
I have always enjoyed Valentine’s Day. I think it’s such a fun and lighthearted holiday and the perfect excuse to tell ANYONE who is important to you how much they mean to you – I am definitely not on the train that Valentine’s Day is reserved only for couples. Although I really do like Valentine’s Day, I’m not a huge fan of how corporate/capitalist America has used it as an excuse to shove red and pink heart themed everything down your throat. If you plan on giving a gift (or gifts) for Valentine’s Day, like any other gift, it should be something that is thoughtful. That is why I have…

Hygge – What is hygge and how to do it
* Precursor for anyone reading this who has not heard of the concept of hygge before: although it doesn’t look like it, the word is pronounced “hoo-gah.” It took me a little while to learn to pronounce it correctly, so I just wanted to share the correct pronunciation with you off the bat! I discovered the concept of hygge a couple of years back while working in a corporate retail setting. The book “The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living” by Meik Wiking had just been released and was quickly gaining popularity here in the US. For retailers, being the first to get behind an up and…
