Welcome to my little Blogging Corner of the World. I started this blog in September 2010!. Thank you for visiting my quirky life with pictures, budgeting tips, foodie recommendations, make up favorites and more. They say we should find our niche and stick to it. My mind doesn’t work like that because I like all the things. I have a feeling there’s many just like me.

Free People -Sweet Romance
Free People.Com
I have to admit when I first heard of
Free People. Com -wasn't sure what to think or what I pictured in my head.
I "clicked" and saw pretty clothes and accessories. You have to check them out.
Their Story:
Back in the 1970's, a young man named Dick Hayne planted a seed in the maze of streets and trees that make up West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He opened a store and called it Free People. Free People nurtured the young people who lived there and shopped there, who looked for a little of their own freedom in the clothes they wore.
As Dick's store grew from one to two, the name was changed from Free People to Urban Outfitters.
In time, his wife Meg came on to tend Urban's private label division, which supported product exclusive to Urban Outfitters. Demand was almost immediate and to meet this overwhelming need, she and Dick decided to create a wholesale line. It was very well-received, so much so that Dick separated the businesses. For a while, the wholesale line took on many personalities: Bulldog, Ecote, Cooperative, Anthropologie, and then in 1984 a new life was breathed into the name Free People. And that's us.
During 2001, we realized that it was really Free People that invoked some of our favorite images, those of femininity, courage, and spirit. It was time to get back to our roots.
Free People shed its junior image and evolved into a more mature, contemporary brand. This allowed twenty-something women to appreciate the line of clothing that catered to their intelligence, creativity and individuality, while keeping with its great quality and affordability.
And that's just who we wanted to reach: a 26-year-old girl, smart, creative, confident and comfortable in all aspects of her being, free and adventurous, sweet to tough to tomboy to romantic. A girl who likes to keep busy and push life to its limits, with traveling and hanging out and everything in between. Who loves Donovan as much as she loves The Dears, and can't resist petting any dog that passes her by on the street.
Today we draw, design, sew and buy for her. We offer her countless options within our own Free People collection, so that even if she takes her best pal shopping, they won't come out looking at all alike. And if she wants her colors and patterns all mixed up, that's even better, picking through our sweaters, knits and skirts. And our design team is expecting to offer even greater variety in our intimates and accessories business.
Free People has three wholesale showrooms - in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Our sales team is in love with the Free People customer, and constantly searches for accounts who believe in our aesthetic and want us to be part of their lives. Today our line sells in over 1000 specialty stores worldwide. And even though we have narrowed our department store relationships, business with Nordstrom and Bloomingdales happily continues to flourish. They have created in-store concept shops to enhance the beauty of the clothes themselves, and provide their customers with the quintessential Free People experience.
In them, our aesthetic is immediately apparent. There is a vibrant and cozy lounging area, where customers can sit back and soak up the lovely surroundings. And all of the Free People fixtures are handmade, right down to the crocheted hangers.
Our very first boutique opened in Paramus, New Jersey in the fall of 2002. We now have boutiques throughout the country and the number will continue to grow.
Free People also launched a virtual journey through its world at FreePeople.com in October 2004. The site has found great success with online shoppers across the country, who are looking for a little something special in their experience.

Femme Couture Smokin Eyes -Creme Eye Colour
Femme Couture Smokin Eyes -Creme Eye Colour
My eye lids have been a little dry lately. The humid weather is doing a number on them. I'll admit so is my age. I actually stopped by Sally's Beauty for of all things- a Teaser-Comb. Yes, a Teaser-Comb! I usually only get my hair teased @ the beauty salon. Yet, being a DIY in most of my daily life, I thought, why not? The worst that could happen is I give myself a rat's nest look. I may start a trend,right?
My hair is so thin -I thought I'd give it a little help. It's was only $3.99 .I figured if it didn't work well I could use it as a weapon if ever in imminent danger.
I must now confuse while waiting in line, I fell prey to the stocking stuffer type items near the register. Please tell me I am not the only one who weakens while waiting in line?
Well, I fell for "Femme Couture Smokin Eyes"
Only $6.49
Tonight, Julia (13) and I are going to buy batteries for the camera. Why is it the batteries run out just when you want to show off teased hair & creamy dreamy eyes?
Stay tuned ......

Autumn Inspirations
 |
| This feels more like me. Inspired by Blogging Buddie Vintage Mending |
I can't believe it is Autumn. How am I reminded? By my Blogging Buddies. They have it more together than I do. I know,big surprise,right? Which instead of having blogging envy -it's more encouraging and motivating. While I am fighting a cold and feeling more like a congested coughing mess; I am inspired with simplicity from Elaine @ Sunny Simple Life . Can you imagine the pumpkin she'll place in the middle to complete this look?
Or
From My Vintage Daydreams
Let's just spell it out!

| Love the Vintage Farmer |
Have you decorated? Am I the only one that feels already behind ? What new ideas are you doing this year? or do you have a standard tradition year after year?

Why Do I Blog? Goals?
WHY DO YOU BLOG? GOALS?
You know, I really had to think hard and long. I'm not sure. I always loved show and tell in grade school. I'm a great story teller. Ask my daughter Julia. She'll name any subject and I have to tell her a bed time story off one name,color,item or subject. I've also always admired other peoples stories. Not sure how it all came about. Me, in this Blogger World. I've always loved taking pictures and with storytelling ,blogging just came about. Now it feels more like a Dear Diary of sorts. A little of my life unexpected. I now sell J.R. Watkins products yet trying to sell products comes secondary to actually blogging. I have to remind myself that I can promote a little on here as well. I find myself sharing links that I love. I adore Vintage prints so I'm always sending my blogging buddies to other sites for Free Vintage Printables 
I share my daughter
Overall I blog to bring a little more life into the world. Plus,it's therapeutic when things get a little crazy with a teenage girl. Remember what it was like being 13? I'm reliving it. One blog at a time, one teenage girl at a time. I guess a goal of mine would be to able to one day- afford to purchase a great camera & blog full time until my next teenage adventure.

Windmill™ Health Products Green Coffee Bean Extract - WINDMILL - GNC
One of the luxuries of going to yard sales is being then able to afford other items at full price. After a recent episode of one of my favorites-Dr.Oz I decided to give one of his recommendations a try.
Green Coffee Bean Extract
I liked the fact it offers the following:
- Helps support Metabolism
- Supports Healthy Blood Sugar Levels
- Helps control Appetite
- Jitter-Free
I will add this to my normal work out routine and see how it goes.
