I believe that one's home should be a reflection of one's personality. It should be a place that you want to come home to, hang out in, and entertain in. A friend of mine from high school gave me one of the greatest design compliments when he told me that my house was so me. So how do we help make your house more you?

You have decided the destination. I bet you can even picture yourself on the beach sipping something fabulous while rocking your new bikini purchased especially for this moment. What's next? Well you can't be a summer jet setter without a flight. So what are you waiting on? Well, a budget savvy frugalista would answer- the best deal on a ticket.

Whose Lifestyle Are You Funding? Yours or HERS?

Are you trying to keep up with the Joneses?
How about the Housewives on Bravo? If so, you are probably guilty of spending money on the life you thought you lived, rather than the life you are actually living. The number of adults who try to emulate and even compete with their friends, foes, and even strangers on television is appalling. As a child of the entertainment industry, my parents told me at a rather young age that the majority of things you see on television are not real. What is real, though, is the increasing amount of debt that people are incurring doing this.


I was reading an article last week by author by April Dykman of Get Rich Slowly. The premise of the article was that idea that people spend for the lifestyle they want as opposed to the lifestyle one currently has. Dykman maintains that, “If you’re paying for a life you have only sometimes, you’re stealing from your most-of-the-time life. And breaking that habit can make you a whole lot happier”. This got me thinking… am I doing this? Am I spending for the lifestyle I want versus the lifestyle I have? In being honest, I’m not entirely sure. Dykman continues, “I tend to give too much thought to what I do once in a while and not enough weight to what I do every day. For example, I wear running shoes 29 days out of 30 days a month, yet I have three pairs of black flats and only one pair of running shoes.”

{Every Woman Should Know…} How to Tie a Tie

Someone on Pinterest said that, ” a man in a suit and tie is to women, what women in lingerie is to men …”.  I would have to say that I totally agree.   My Mr. prides himself on knowing several knots…half and full Windsor, a Pratt knot, and so on (bragging moment).   While most men know how to tie at least one knot, others may not know how to tie their ties at all. This is when, as a woman you can step in.  Plus as Patsy S., a commentor on another blog adds, being able to tie [a] man’s tie can be a very initmate experience [a woman] should not miss out on!

{Random Thoughts} Question for SMC Readers

Writing the post, Watching for Spring, got me thinking about several ideas.  I remember being at my Spelman College orientation as a freshman and the Dean telling us that “everyone Spelman woman should always have a pen” and to this day, I always keep a pen on deck.  This got me thinking, what are other things women should have on hand?  Skills, Physical Items, Experiences, Knowledge, Style Tricks?  I just did the post about “how to set the table“, now I am moving on to style.  With the increasing advances in technology, I hardly ever see women wearing watches anymore. They just whip out their smart phones and voila.  I think every woman should own at least one nice watch.  What do you think?   Just curious for research for a new post.

Every Woman Should… ?
