Friday Finds Under $50
I’ve decided to start a weekly series: Friday Finds Under $50. I will post some of my favorite finds from the week that are under $50. I think this will be a fun post to not only put together, but for you as readers to read and shop. I hope you love what I’ve found for you this week! Most of the items are well under $50. I have to admit, I have some of these items, and absolutely love them. Enjoy your weekend, and be sure to get some shopping in!
2017 was a year I was glad to see come to an end. Don’t get me wrong, there were a few wonderful things that took place in 2017, (our family vacation to Europe, the start of my blog, another trip to New York Fashion Week) but it was also a year that had a lot of downs for our family. Let’s hope those stay in the past and that there is nothing but a bright and happy 2018 in store for us.
With the start of a new year, I, like many of you, not only like to reflect on the past, but also set some goals and resolutions for the upcoming year. I’ll be honest, I never write down my goals/resolutions, probably because I know when I see my list, it will be a reminder of what I have yet to accomplish, or have already given up on. However, discouraging that can be, I’ve decided I need to be more accountable, and so I am going to write a list of goals that I’m hoping to either implement in my life, strive to accomplish, or try to perfect this year.

If you’re reading this, and have not made a list of resolutions/goals, I encourage you to do so. We can work towards achieving them together. Okay, so no more putting it off, here is what I’m working in for 2018.
- Laundry! I am the absolute worst at the laundry. I will buy more socks, underwear, etc. because the pile is just too big, and I don’t want to do it. This needs to change. My goal is to stay on top of the laundry, so it doesn’t overwhelm me.
- Meal plan, Every Single Week!
- Two-three blog posts per week. This is harder than you’d think. I always have ideas running through my head for posts, but I usually don’t end up getting them on the blog. This is about to change!
- Spend less time on my phone/computer when the kids are home. They are growing up so quickly, I want to spend as much time with them as I can.
- Lose those 20 pounds I’ve been talking about for years. UGH! This means eating less and exercising more. I really wish it was the other way around.
- Read 24 books in 2018. That equals out to 2 books a month.
- Work on my spiritual growth. Scripture study and prayer every day!
My list isn’t overly long or overly difficult, but I think it will be tough to stick to these 7 goals/resolutions. The key is starting today! I’ve put it off for as long as I can, and nothing will get done if I don’t get to work. Wish me luck!
Leave a comment letting me know what goals you’re working on this year. I’d love to hear! Here’s to a fun, organized, and successful 2018!

One of my favorite ways to change the look of an outfit, is by accessorizing. Adding jewelry, especially if it’s bold pieces, gives your daily look that extra oomph that takes you from a boring and mundane look, to something more fun and out of the box. Jewelry is there to help pull together and finish the look of an outfit, so don’t shy away from it. That being said, always make sure the jewelry you’re wearing compliments your look and doesn’t detract from it. What I mean is, if you’re wearing a bold print in your clothing, keep your jewelry to a minimum, you don’t want to overpower your look. If you’re wearing a plain t-shirt and jeans, don’t be afraid to take the jewels up a notch!
If you ask me, I think at the very least, a pair of earrings and bracelet should be worn with every outfit. Call me crazy, but I feel naked without these two items. If you’re feeling a little bit more adventurous, add a necklace and statement ring, again, just make sure these pieces compliment your look.
One of my favorite places to buy jewelry from is 7 Charming Sisters. They offer fun, trendy, and stylish pieces at affordable prices. I recently styled their Photo Finish Bracelet, Gold Cuff Bracelet, and Networking Ring in a variety of ways, and love how they added a little pizzazz to my holiday looks, as well as a more casual outfit.
If you’re in the market for some new jewelry, here are a few of my favorites from 7 Charming Sisters.
