Invisalign- Month 1

I made it through the first month!  The first week was touch and go.  On numerous occasions, I threatened to throw my Invisalign out the window and call it a day.  If I didn't have septic, they would have been flushed down the toilet on day 2.  It was definitely an adjustment!  Their was a lot of pain, tightness, and an overall feeling of mouth suffocation, but it gradually subsided.  Overly dramatic (maybe), but honest. I am so glad, however, that I fought through the uncomfortable sensations and gave Invisalign a chance.  Each day gets easier and easier.  For the most part, I tend to forget they are even in my mouth.  They have become apart of my daily routine.  All I see is straight teeth ahead and that is motivation enough. Clemente Orthodontics has been wonderful.  They check in ...

March is such a crazy month. So many friends and family members celebrate birthdays.   Parties and obligations keep filling up the calendar.  Tomorrow my oldest daughter Gianna turns 11 and we are taking a bunch of her friends to dinner and dessert at the Melting Pot.  Say lots of prayers.  Tweens are a dangerous species!  The best part; my husband gets to experience all the added estrogen too.  Video footage to document the night may be available on the blog next week (lol)! Every time my girls celebrate another birthday, the mommy ...

#38

It's been awhile.  The colder months make it hard to be fashionable and inspiring as a blogger.  I guess you can say I took a little hiatus from writing, but the much-anticipated debut of Spring has my fashion juices flowing again. Age 37 flew by.  It's hard to believe that I am blowing 38 candles out this year.  What a boring and dreadful number! Last year, my birthday post consisted of my top 37 life lessons.   I won't bore you with a new list this year or share 38 fun facts likes most bloggers typically do!  I always reflect back on ...

My Road to Straight Teeth With Clemente Orthodontics: Day 1

One of the first things I look at when I greet a person, is their teeth.  Instinctively, that's right where my eyes wander, probably because of my own insecurities.  My bottom teeth have tremendous crowding, due to never wearing my retainer.  They are also lacking that sparkly white shine. For awhile, I made excuses. I argued that no one else could really see all the overlapping.  When I smiled, my considerably straight top teeth, always masked the dental issues below.  Blogging, however, forced me to face the harsh reality.  My teeth need ...

Another Day, More Amazon Finds

I have a new addiction: Amazon!  I have found so many great and extremely affordable pieces.  I thought I would share everything here, as well, as some other finds I have my eye on! I have had an overwhelming response since sharing my purchases on social media.  I am so glad you all share my love for shopping on a budget! I fell in love with these two dresses because I think they are versatile and transitional.  Despite the excruciating temperatures, Spring will be here before you know it.  These dresses will serve me ...
