Adorable Seahorses Cardigan @ Target




I came across this adorable seahorses cardigan at Target last week.  I am a sucker for novelty print so I had to get it.  Beside the cute print, I think the material is a bargain for the price (on sale for $15), regular price is $22.99.  You can see this and other pattern cardigans here.

TOTW: Don't Forget Your Lips

This week tip is more of a reminder.  When you slather sunscreen onto your body and face, don't forget your lips, they need it too.  My favorite is Neutrogena Moisturizing Lip Balm SPF 15.

May is Small Business Month

Did you know that May is Small Business Month?  Personally, I enjoy patronizing small businesses.  It may sounds silly to you but it makes me feel good.  I love, love Etsy and small boutiques in my area.

This month Opensky, Dotbox, Dwolla, Edison Nation, Goodsie, ShopKeep POS and several other companies are joining forces to launch a campaign call Small Business BreakThrough.  Basically, it is a way to encourage people everywhere to help their favorite small businesses break through the noise created by big box retailers and growYou can do this by visiting www.SBBreakThrough.com to nominate your favorite small business(es) for a Breakthrough Award and then share your nominated business(es) with friends via social media using the hashtag #sbbreakthru.

Comfortable and Chic Spring/Summer Style

As I mentioned before, I am a somewhat new stay at home mom.  When I first stayed home, two things I soon realized.  The first thing was how sedentary my life was when I had a 9-5 desk job.  The second is I need a new wardrobe.  My pencil skirts and slack pants no longer fit my new lifestyle (running errands and chasing after a baby).  I need something comfortable, easy to move around, but still look good and chic.  Although this may be my everyday wear, I am sure it will fit into your casual Friday and weekend wear.



(Gap)  Lets start with a no brainer item, a shirt dress.  Thrown on a sandle or flat and you have an outfit.  If you want more, throw on a belt to give yourself a little shape.



(Joe Fresh) You can't talk about comfort without the mention of a basic t-shirt.  It is easy to expand and spice up your basic tee collection this season with stripes and floral.



(Old Navy) Printed short.  I am sure we all have some plain t-shirt laying around.  Pair that with a printed short and you have a cute, effortless look.




(Loft)  My all time favorite, Maxi dress.  They are feminine and comfortable...enough of a reason.



(JCrew)  Color bottom.  Color and print pant expand your wardrobe and they are generally more comfortable than skirt.  No need to worry too much when you have to bend over to pick up something, you know what I mean.




(Camper)  Ditch the heels and stick to flat.  I actually own this Camper Casi Casi pair and at first, I was not sure if it is worth it (price at $145).  However, after a few weeks, I realize since it is neutral, it is very versatile, goes with almost everything and it is also really comfy.




(Nordstrom)  Last but not least, the essential cross body bag.  There are so many pretty color for Spring and Summer and much more comfortable than shoulder bag, trust me.

TOTW: Save Money, Ditch Your Shaving Cream

I honestly don't remember the last time I purchase shaving cream.  I have always just use a "small amount" of hair conditioner to prime my skin before shaving.
