*Circus NY Eileen Shoes By Sam Edelman*


Circus NY shoes are stylish and comfortable.  I purchased these shoes to add to my collection for the Fall and Winter.  My feet are a size 9 wide, and these shoes are so comfy.  I am a diabetic, so I have to be careful with the type of shoes that I buy. These shoes fit the bill perfectly!

What 5 Household Products Or Gadgets Literally Changed Your Life

 What 5 Household Products Or Gadgets Literally Changed Your Life?

There are affiliate links in this post which mean that we will receive a small commission if a purchase is made.  

I am a gadget lover, and I love searching online to find items that I can save to my watchlist or put on my wishlist.  Being an apartment dweller comes with some restrictions, such as, not being able to have a washing machine in my apartment being a biggie for me, because I absolutely hate laundromats.  Having limited space can be a challenge and sometimes gadgets can be very expensive. 

I try to carefully plan purchases in advance, and over the years I have acquired many gadgets to make my life easier.  I work at home, so I wanted to make that process easy and make sure that I had the right printer, paper, stamps, and whatever else I needed to make my business run smoothly.  It isn't wise to wait until you run out of things that are needed right away. 

There are products that I had a second thought about because they were a bit expensive, but then I started to think long-term about the benefits and the fact that they would save me money over time.

So here are the 3 household products that literally changed my life.

  1. I purchased a twin-tub washing machine that allowed me to wash my clothes in my apartment and it is very easy to store.
  2. My Canon Pixma MG 3620 Printer because I no longer have to go to the library or pharmacy to make copies and I can print important information and send it out immediately, and this assists me with getting more work done.
  3. Nikon Coolpix L830 Camera. I am able to get more work because of this camera and it has definitely been a gamechanger for me. I use it for YouTube and for blogging and I really love it.
  4. Apple iPad Air because I am able to take my work with me on the go and I am able to edit my videos faster.  It took me a long time to jump on the Ipad train but I am so glad that I did.
  5. My Acer 315 Chromebook because it works faster than a traditional windows laptop and does more things than I thought I wouldn't be able to do on a Chromebook.  It makes my job much easier and it is lightweight too.

If there are products that will make life easier for you; take a chance and buy them or save monthly towards the purchase if they are very expensive. 

Go to review sites to find out the quality of the products that you want to buy. 

Before you buy the product or gadget check out different sites to find out which one has the lowest prices.

Buy office supplies in bulk if you work at home.  This will save you a lot of money in the long run.

Beautiful Braided Hairstyles For The Summer

 

                         The model is wearing a multi-colored single braided style

     Disclosure:  There may be affiliate links in this post which mean that I will receive a small commission if a purchase is made.

The model in the picture is my daughter.  She loves to wear her hair braided during the summer.  She has been doing hair since she was nine years old.  One thing is for sure, she is not scared to use color as an accent.  

This single braided hairstyle is so easy to maintain.  You can wear it down like she is wearing it but it can also be carried up in a pretty bun. Braids are so easy because when you awaken in the morning, you do not have to worry about wasting so much time on your hair.  You just wrap it up at night and take it off in the morning and you are out the door. 

Braids have been around so long, but this year I have seen so many unique styles with braids that are curly with the multi-colors, or even hair that is super-long you could almost sit on it Lol.  Braids can even be worn if you work in a professional position as long as it is a simple, sleek, style, with using one color braids.

Cornrows are easy if you do not want to sit for a very long time to get your hair braided because getting your hair braided in single braids takes a very long time to accomplish but the results are worth the wait.

There are so many places where you can pick up your braiding hair.  You can check out:

Amazon

Nia Wigs

Wish

eBay

Sally Beauty

Etsy

Target

Where to find good workout wear.

 Where to find good workout wear.

There are affiliate links in this post which mean that I will receive a small commission if a purchase is made.  This helps me to purchase products to review on this site.

I have always liked camouflage because it always look sporty, and fresh, and like animal print, it never goes out of style.
 
My doctor told me to implement different forms of exercise that would be easy for me and I decided to use walking as my main exercise.

I have chronic medical issues so walking works for me.  Finding cute workout clothes for plus-size women can be a little difficult so I have looked around and found some sources that will work for me. 

Workout leggings are very comfortable to wear as long as they fit well.  I don't want them to look too tight because I want a uniform look.

Workout wear does not have to be expensive.  I have found some cute workout wear at Walmart that is very comfortable.

Workout wear is good to lounge around the house in too. 
Please keep in mind that you need workout well that is good quality so your workout wear can last a long time.  

When you purchase your workwear make sure that you put it on and stretch and do some exercise to make sure that it is comfortable and it does not restrict you in any way.  If it does, return it promptly to the company where you purchased it.

During the pandemic, workout wear has been the perfect clothing staple that we have to look good and feel good in.  


To make your workout wear more comfortable, make sure that you wear a sports bra.  

I have still had some issues finding complete sets so I had to buy the pants and then the top.  This can be frustrating at times.

You can find a lot of cute workout wear by shopping at a variety of retailers to find a good variety of sizes and styles.  I don't just shop at one place.

Don't let no one try to shame you when you are exercising in your workout wear.  People like to do this to plus-size people and it needs to stop.  Look cute and hold your head up high.

Here are five retailers to purchase workout wear for plus-size women

These resources will help you find some workout clothes that will make you look and feel your best.

Be you and stay fabulous!
