Good Morning Glamour Girl! It’s the start of another week and I just thought it might be a great way to start your day with a gentle reminder.

Be kind to yourself today (and everyday for that matter).

Life can be challenging and goodness knows there are plenty of people out there for whatever reason trying to bring others down but don’t take any of the naysayers words to heart including that critical inner voice of your own that sometimes is a bit tooooo critical. I’m all about striving to be the best version of oneself but at the end of the day please embrace all the positive and wonderful qualities about you!

Wishing you a day and sending a gentle reminder to “treat yourself” right! xo T

Hello Summer.  Today is the longest day of the year and the start of  a season that most (if not all) of us associate with longer days, warmer nights and a more relaxed way of  living. Vacations, ice cream and sundresses abound as just a few of the items we embrace during the warm weather months ahead. Slow down, take a breath and enjoy  all the joys that this season has to offer.    Happy Summer!

Some thing to consider…..metimes…..

If you’re looking for a few timely tips to look younger here’s the short list (actually my top 3) that won’t break the bank or require a trip to a dermatologist/plastic surgeon . The best part… all are soooo doable and affordable.

1.Wear a bra! Period. End of story. I strongly suggest sporting a bra with underwire to give you a much needed lift and provide you with a more youthful appearance.

2. Two words..Crest Whitestrips -nothing ages you faster than yellow teeth. I prefer the Glamorous White version because it seems to really do the job in  the shortest amount of time.

Crest Glamorous White Stripes $39.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond (use 20% off coupon and save even more)

3. Invest in a nude pointed toe pump. It elongates your leg making you appear taller and thinner and goes with EVERYTHING! A true style staple.

So the question is… How did it get to be June? Wasn’t it just January? I can’t believe we’re half way through the year already. Let’s admit it all together (there’s comfort in numbers). Does anyone  even remember your New Years resolutions?

June is  the half way mark of the year soooo let’s reassess shall we. What do you really want to do this Summer. Walk on the beach? Take a vacation? Clear out the clutter in your closet. Workout more, relax more, enjoy the long summer nights? Whatever your heart desires I hope you make a summer bucket list to keep you on track and make sure you take time to enjoy every moment .

Here’s my short list:

1. Wake up early one weekend morning (5 AM ish) and head down to the beach. Watch the sun come up as I take a long bike ride. (P.S. get bike serviced-inflate tires and grease chain)
2.  Host a Summer soiree for my friends on the upstairs deck.
3. Detox (aka stop eating so much dark chocolate) and swap out a green drink for lunch at least 2 days a week.
4. Give myself weekly facials, manicures and pedicures.
5. Go for a short vacay-weekend out of town.
6. Sew at least one outfit each week this summer.
7. Read one great book a month
8. Breath and enjoy my days more.
9. Start my sewing blog
10. Expand my Styling Business
11. Finish writing my book

Happy Memorial Day.

May we continue to honor those who have selflessly given their lives for our protection and freedom.

Just in time to book your Summer vacay…
