Style Minute: Sweater Dresses (Sexy Mama in Minutes)
The weather is getting cooler, thank God. I love dressing cozy—boots, jackets and sweater dresses! This post is called Style Minute because for many moms this is all the time we can spare on ourselves. Sweater dresses are a quick way to look polished in record time. Throw on leggings or tights and a pair of boots and you have a sexy alternative to the sweatshirt and yoga pants uniform. Just like jumpsuits, sweater dresses are a part of my…
Party Prep: Florist-Worthy Blooms on a Budget
We recently had a large celebration at our home. I love to add my own creative touches to the decor by doing the flower arrangements myself. If it is a somewhat formal occasion, such as a wedding or shower, creating your own arrangements saves quite a bit of money. My grandmother, Charlotte, was a florist who owned her own shop in East Detroit many years ago and I think this is where I developed my passion. Some might say that…

Style Minute: Jumpsuit Love

As I’m typing this I have on a simple, black sleeveless jumpsuit with lace paneling inserts at the neckline along with black and grey throwback high-tops from Cheap Monday. I live in jumpsuits. They are my uniform. They are easy, comfortable and a polished alternative to yoga pants. They are also versatile….
Workout Day? Go Black and Gray
Making the most of every minute is key when balancing work, family, leisure and workouts. Efficiency drives commitment, which then creates positive habits. Clear your path of any deterrents that will take away from the “me” time you have penciled in for the gym. One of these deterrents is trying to find something to wear. No one wants to go to the gym looking disheveled. Part of why we work out is to feel good about ourselves. I’m not saying…
