Preparedness

It seems there has been a tone set this week with having your act together. I have always felt that it was so important to be prepared. As much as possible. Because if it's one thing I've learned it's that the unexpected can happen at any moment. In my desk at work I always have a "Just In Case" bag. You never know when there will be a random rip in your clothes, stain, headache, or an "omg I'm too tired to make it through the day" moment.  

 I'm always adding and taking away from this list so feel free to personalize this list to better fit your needs. Here is what's in my 911 bag: 

• Hairspray
• Lent roller
• Floss
• Bobby Pin (I can't tell you how may times this saved me!)
• Excedrin  
• Emergency Nail Polish and Lips
• Travel Wrinkle Release 
• 5 Hour Energy
• Bobby Pins
• Nail File
• Tide Pen and Wipes  
• Body Spray and Perfume (depending on the situation)
• Face wipes
• Ponytail Holder
• Pen
• Deodorant
• Toothpaste

Not pictured:

• Tampon
• Toothbrush
• Sewing Kit

If there is one thing for you to take away from this post it's to carry a saftey pin. I'm not kidding. Do it.

Happy Monday All! Have a wonderful day!

Keeping It Together

Happy Spring!!! 

Could that be any more exciting? I didn't think so! Snow? What snow?

Along with relaxing on Sunday's I also love to plan out my week. Trust me, making lists relaxs me to the core.  I always like to know exactly what I'm cooking for dinner and have everything I need for each recipe. So I usually grocery shop on Sunday's too. Another relaxing task for me believe it or not. 

If I had any advice for the busy woman on the go it would be to get your act together in advance. It really brings peace of mind to know what's for dinner and what you have going on. Get yourself a beautiful planner that you like to look at and notebook for inspirations along the way. With a new season brings a new planner for me. A recent trip out of town last week lead to a pretty amazing shopping trip with my Sis-In-Law. I found this amazing planner, paper, and notebook.

This Spring is going to be my most organized ever.

So lets talk some tips to keep it all together. 

• Get out your favorite cookbook or pull up some cool recipes on Pinterest and plan at least three meals (if your the cook in the house) so that you have at least an idea of whats on the menu that evening and you are prepaired.  
• Staying on the food track, make your lunch the night before. 
• Priortize. Look at your schedule for the upcoming week. See if you have any deadlines or important meetings and make sure you have everything together for that.  
• On Sunday's I always clean out my handbag. Get rid of reciepts and papers that you don't need and file the rest. Add anything you think you might need for the next day.  
• Polish your nails Sunday evening so that's one less thing to worry about the next day. 

I hope you have a relaxing and productive Sunday!

This week lets really aim to enjoy the little things, shall we?

Bell Of The Ball

Today's trend topic:

Bell Sleeves 

Jumpsuits

 This season I thought there were some surprising trends. The Bell Sleeve was one of them. But it's true, it's all about statement sleeves! Once again I incorporated the two trends into one. Jumpsuits have made a major comeback.
