Retail Therapy...

Retail Therapy
Do you believe in Retail Therapy? Meaning the kind that fills your soul- No Seriously! 
I do- I believe that when we're feeling low-for whatever reason, or sad, or helpless that buying something for ourselves or someone we care about- maybe having to do with the reason that we are sad- "lift us up." 
The definition of Retail Therapy is-"Shopping in order to make ones self feel better."
This is completely true & can be such a great feeling, as well as a wonderful & generous thing to do!
Retail Therapy gets a bad rap; as if we are being selfish or glutenous. Often times when we are purchasing, I know this of myself- it is for others; my daughter, husband, friends, family, my students...my dog! 
As people we get a "high" from shopping! A high from providing for others! A high from being generous & having the means to give to ourselves & others! On top of that high place the high of getting a GREAT deal & I can be high on my purchase for days!
Think of all of the other much more destructive things we could be doing with our time & money- unhealthy eating, drug abuse...etc!
Shop on, ladies & gentlemen!!
Retail Therapy is GOOD for your soul!

New Year Refresh

I t’s that time of year when the holidays are over our holiday Decor is put away, hopefully! Your home is clean & quiet & let’s face it- we’re stuck in the house right now due various reasons. So, it’s a great time to reevaluate and refresh. I find that if I don’t go through my things, refresh and get rid of things that I don’t need or use; think those fancy underwear that you bought that were so uncomfortable that you never wore them!  That being said- Let’s get rid of the clutter and keep the things that we feel our best in! If we learned anything in 2020 it was to live our best lives. I like to take the end of January/beginning of February as a time to go through my things. I start with the most important; my “intimates”… Meaning bras underwear pajamas and of course my robe! This week at Smooth Styling with Corinne we are going to explore all of these! We will talk about underwear/panties (I hate that word)... bras/bralettes/sports bras, pajamas- I will Share with you my...

What's in My Closet...???

  I have been thinking deeply about how the "staples" of our wardrobes have changed in this past year; as most things have. It is always fun and absolutely necessary to add new trends and have fun with color, texture & pattern within our wardrobe; however, it is essential that we have a foundation for these exciting pieces to be a part of. Think of a new house- the fixtures; like the kitchen cabinets and the bathroom tile are so important as a way to show the homeowner's style & personality. However, you can't have those beautiful "add ons" without the foundation of the house in place.  The "staples" of your wardrobe are the foundation, just like the house, and the fixtures are "add ons," they add character, personality, spice! Wardrobe staples used to be boring-  Black slacks, a white button down shirt, a black shoe They have always slightly differed & evolved with the times- but 2020 definitely pushed us into a whole new wor...
