Something I ask myself every Sunday evening is how Something I ask myself every Sunday evening is how am I going thrive this week?  It is so easy to get bogged down in the day to day. The to do list and the kids needs and my businesses needs and on and on. Add on the heaviness that is our world right now and it can feel like all you are trying to do is survive. But I don’t want to just survive. I don’t want to be looking forward to the weekend each and every week. I want to look for a way to thrive where I am.  Ok, so how do we do that?  I’m going to give you three intentions I’m taking into the week. 1️⃣ I will find excitement and fulfillment in the mundane tasks or difficult situations. 2️⃣ I intended to do my best each day to achieve the goals I have set for the day. 3️⃣ I will do my best to lead by example and embrace challenges I face with a calm mind. Have a wonderful week.

Skin care is always a big priority for me but in the summer it becomes even more important. The sun and salt water and chlorine suck all of the nutrients out of your skin. I have been using @yensabeauty CBD Superfood Dual Cleansing Oil to remove sunscreen and give my skin a nice glow.

Summer time vacay means road trips in our family. Summer time vacay means road trips in our family.  I would love to #wheelsup everywhere we go but, alas, I don't have #wheelsup money currently.  I love short road trips.  3 to 4 hours is our jam right now.  A few things I do to plan for being in the car.  1️⃣ I make sure everyone's electronics are charged and on the hotspot or they have games downloaded.  2️⃣ Earphones.  No one can agree on a station and the level of the volume so earphones it is. 3️⃣ Snacks.  I pack everyone and individual snack basket that they can have in the car for the first few hours.  Lord knows we have to make a snack stop because my kids are obsessed with finding every @racetrac they can.  4️⃣ Finally, bingo cards (our printable ones are on the blog) or something they can play like tiktacktoe since they will get board of their ipads at some point in the ride.  What are your road trip tricks?

4 Styles of Shorts You Need This Summer

The official start of the summer season is this weekend but here in the south we are well into the summer heat and humidity. Although I am typically a dress girl I find myself wearing shorts more and more. Today I am going to round up 4 styles of shorts you need this summer.

4 styles of shorts you need this summer

This summer I am finding myself reaching for shorts as my go to. Shorts can be great for comfortable, casual outfits but they also work really well for dressed up looks too. If you live in the south like me you know that shorts will work in your wardrobe from now until October.

Paperbag Waist

I have always been partial to a paperbag waist even when it wasn’t in style. They are visually interesting which is what fashion is all about. They also add this little touch of style to a shorts and top outfit that in itself could be a little mundane. For a fashion forward piece they are comfortable to wear, which is not always the case when it comes to fashionable things, and they always look great when you tuck your shirt into them. Paperbag waist was made for the crop top moment we are having. Especially if you are someone who is not all in on the crop top trend these are the shorts for you.

Jean Shorts

Jean shorts are a wardrobe staple. Even when they aren’t “in style” they are still wearable. The fits, lengths and washes will vary over the years but a jean short is always something you can wear. Bonus they can also be changed to fit a seasonal trend. I have taken my jeans shorts from prior seasons and tweaked them by changing the wash with dye, adding distressing to them or even cutting them to fit a new length. Jean shorts may be casual but they are still classic. Learn more about jeans here.

Pull on Shorts

2020 made me throw in the towel on shorts with buttons. I mean why do we need them? I know you are going to say well you just talked about jean shorts above and that is true. Jeans are my one exception. I like the way pull on shorts fit. I like that it is a cleaner look across the front. I like that my shirts can be worn tucked in or out but most of all I love that there is no button poking in my stomach when I sit down.

I rounded up shorts that are cute and comfortable but also some dressy options. In the past one of the complaints that I have heard about pull on shorts is that they look too casual but no more.

Bike Shorts

So I know not everyone is on this trend but I personally love it. Athletic shorts are not something I usually purchase but bike shorts I feel like work for athletic need bus also casual outfits. I have even seen some, like the faux leather shorts I included in this round up, that will work for dressier occasions. Always try something on your body before you decide it isn’t for you.

XO,

Tiffany
