My Happiness Project - September - Pursue a Passion: COMPLETE

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.


My Happiness Project for the month of September was to Pursue a Passion.


Ways I did this were:
1. Make Time
2.Start Writing a Book
3.Embrace a New Hobby

photo by 1541via PhotoRee

1. Make Time
I now write my hobbies: meditating, reading, watching my tv shows, crafting, etc. into my agenda on a daily basis. I schedule them in so that I never neglect them. It made me realize that it's important to make myself happy in life more than relying on anything else to make me happy... so if I ensure I am always making time for happiness, it will always be present in my life!
2.  Start Writing a Book
I did start to write a book, but then I also started keeping a journal of thoughts. Maybe someday you guys will get to see it ;)


3. Embrace a New Hobby
The hobby I chose was meditation. Sure it might not seem like a hobby to some but recently I went through so much stuff that I certainly think that if meditating is what is good for my mental, spiritual, and emotional well being , then it's a GREAT HOBBY! I also have started little odds and ends type projects around the house so we will see how that goes! !
Check back tomorrow for October's Happiness Project which is to Pay Attention!

Energems are a great source of energy if you don't want to go for energy drinks and shots.  And why would you?   They make you crash so hard and they taste disgusting.  Wouldn't you rather have a bite-sized candy gem with chocolate inside?   And get the same energy with a better taste!?  Energems are  milk chocolates infused with energy by using caffeine,  B Vitamins and a proprietary energy mix.  Each Energem is just 15 calories and there are 3 servings (three gems) in a box!  For just $2.99 you can get a box of Energems.  They are so conveniently packaged!  It's one thing to drink coffee, but it's another to get your caffeine and energy from a reliable and tasty little treat!

How to Change Your Closet over for Fall

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.


Once the weather is adjusted enough (usually late September or early October for me) you can start storing away your summer pieces and integrating new Fall wardrobe pieces so your closet is ready for the Autumn Fashion Showcase aka your everyday life! 


Here are a few guidelines to follow when you start the process of changing your closet over for Fall:

1.     Make sure you keep your summer tops (for layering) out.   These  can be paired with a cute jacket in the Fall.
2.     Store shorts, sandals, and summer dresses away for the next few months.
3.     Make sure you take an inventory and when you go shopping for any new additions look  for your core colors, secondary colors, and keep record of what you already have in your closet.
4.     Pull out all your heavy weight cardigans and sweaters as well as any pencil skirts (you can layer these with leggings.
5.     Make sure you have a wide selection of tights which look great under skirts and even shorts!
6.     Pull out all your boots and make sure you have at least 1 pair of flats, booties, knee high boots, and riding boots!



So, how many new things do you “NEED” to buy now that you’ve integrated your fall pieces back into your closet? ;-)

soireehome Tilt Review

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.



If you like entertaining, you will love soireehome’s newest product…tilt.  tilt is an iceless and flavorless chilling sphere that keeps drinks chilled longer without diluting or altering the flavor.  It can be stored in the freezer and in about 4-6 hours it’s ready to use.  It can be used to keep something chilled for at least 30 minutes.  This is great for dips and it’s small enough that it fits in most dishes and glasses.   No need to worry about fishing around with your fingers, because tilt is center-weighted and always sits upright.  When it’s time to remove it, there’s a retrieval hook that you can grab with a stick or fork.  Tilt can be handwashed with soap and water and comes with a silicone base to store in on so it looks great on display in the kitchen. 


I received tilt and it’s amazing how well it worked with cheese dip at a party I attended where I had to bring an appetizer.  It even looked like part of the display, so I didn’t have to worry about anyone questioning what the object was inside of the dish. 

Someone even added that they thought it was a cool embellishment to the dish, meaning they thought it came as part of the dish I had the cheese dip in!


This is so cool and soireehome has so many other modern and unique products for serving purposes! Check them out today!

BARKCODE Review

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.
BARKCODE is the technology-friendly way to keep track of your pets! Years ago I actually had Pixie stolen for a few days after a home break-in. Luckily we got her back but if I had given her a BARKCODE tag, I very well may have found her immediately. You see.... BARKCODE is a little tag for a dog collar that contains a QR Code. When the QR code is scanned with a cell phone it will bring up a link to a website that contains the most updated information on the pet's owners. You can easily update your information on the website and there's no online activation fee or annual fee! And BARKCODE donates a portion of it's tag proceeds to charities that support NO KILL ANIMAL FACILITIES! BARKCODE tags come in different colors and designs, so whether you have a male or female dog, you can ensure you pick out a stylish tag for your pet to show off!




My dogs received some tags from BARKCODE. It was super easy to get on the website and register them. I entered their VET info and any medical information that someone who finds them would need to know. And the best part is, if they runaway and someone finds them and they scan the code, it will send me a notification that someone has them! If the person doesn't have a camera phone they can still get on the website and enter the ID number from the tag. The site is also password protected so I'm the only one who can get on and update info. I am so happy that I have a bit more security when it comes to the possibility of my pets going missing. This is such a great idea for anyone that has a dog with anxiety that may wander off outside, or for anyone in a new neighborhood where people may not know you or your pet yet.
I highly recommend everyone get a BARKCODE tag because it's just another way to ensure the safety of your animal!!!!

Stay Safe in Style with ila Security

Friday, September 27, 2013

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.

ila Security is a line of personal security products and accessories to help females stay safe in style. I know we live in a society where we tend to have the mindset that "It won't happen to me", but that's the wrong mindset. If you run errands and park in a parking lot, you never know if someone could follow you to your car one day, even in broad day light. And if you park in a parking garage, it's still a risk. Even having your purse stolen when you are eating at a restaurant is a possibility for practically all of us! So when ila Security launched in 2008 they wanted to give women a sense of security that they could pretty much accessorize into their everyday life. Whether it's something for the home or something to carry around in a purse, there are a variety of useful and versatile products to choose from.



I received an ila Hook for my purse and an ila Pebble for my keychain. The hook allows me to keep my purse stores right next to me wherever I am so that I can keep an eye on it. Thieves can ruin your life by stealing hte contents of your handbag and I just can't take that risk. This hook folds up and can be easily stored in my purse when not in use. It holds even the heaviest of my handbags!! It has a nice rubber grip to hold on to tables and desks. The ila Pebble is a neat and compact little device that can let out an ear-piercing alarm at the push of a button. The second you feel threatened, you can draw attention to yourself and scare off a thief or attacker with this piercing sound. It comes in two fashionable designs so no one will know what it is. It's so lightweight on my keychain but it makes me feel so much safer now that I know I have it.

It’s not bulky at all and it is so convenient to touch my phone screen through it!! I love that it’s made of eco-friendly materials and I can’t believe how water proof it is! This has motivated me to start running again because I actually have a convenient way to carry my iPhone now and I don’t have to stick it in my pants and stick a key in my sports bra!

The One Thing You Need to Tell Yourself to Stop Worry in a Relationship

 photo fuck-yolo-hakuna-matata1_zps137394b3.jpg


It’s completely normal to worry in the beginning stages of a relationship; however it can be very distracting and can put you on edge. Some people can’t handle that feeling and they will end a relationship simply out of fear. So here is one major concept you need to adapt in order to stop worrying obsessively in a relationship….
IT IS BEYOND YOUR CONTROL.
Seriously it’s a viable solution to all of the below thoughts:
What if they leave me?
What if they cheat?
What if we end up not working out?
No matter what, you need to learn to let it go. Unless it’s something that’s a huge issue that needs to be resolved (and has a solid solution), LET IT GO!!!!!!






4 Criteria to Look for in a Blazer

Tuesday, September 24, 2013

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.



A good blazer can be a key part of your wardrobe.  There are plenty of other reasons to back up why a good blazer is a must have but you also need to make sure you look for some criteria when choosing blazers.   


1.     Narrow Lapels.  
Narrow lapels give a blazer a feminine look so you won’t look bulky and boyish.

2.     Sharp Shoulders.
You always want shoulders that are smooth and not baggy.  Too much padding gives it a rough bulky look.

3.     2 Buttons.
Blazers with 2 buttons are slimming and always in style.   It’s very flattering to any body type.

4.     Fun lining.

Choose a blazer with a nice accent in the lining so if you fold over the sleeves you have some elegant prints or patterns peeking through!

Lovely Candy Review

This site has affiliate links and sponsored content. Read my Disclosure Policy.

Lovely Candy is a company that was founded in Chicago in 2013 after Mike Nakamura wanted to find high quality, gluten-free, non GMO candies for his wife Jackie.   Since it was nearly impossible to find that, Mike decided to create his own.  Lovely Candy is an all natural line of soy-free and artificial-ingredient free candies.  They are delicious and much healthier than standard candies.   They offer fruity candies as well as caramel chocolate candies.  

I received Super Fruit Chews, Fruit Chews, Chewy Caramels, and Chocolate Swirl Caramels.  


Both Caramel flavors were so delicious without being obnoxiously sticky and sickening sweet.  I could taste a difference in that they had more flavor and were much more satisfying than other candies!  Their super fruit and fruit chews were so good it was like eating chewy fruit candy but it didn’t get all stuck in the back of my mouth. These were also super addicting so now I am going to have to buy more so I can continue devouring them!!



This is their new line of candies that will be available in the Fall at several major retailers usch as Bed, Bath, & Beyond, Giant Eagle, Burlington Coat Factory, and Hallmark!    You can even purchase them on Amazon.

I love that it comes with a smooth glittery finish in the one I chose. The textured rubber sides give it a nice grip so you don't drop your phone when your hands are full! I received a white Slickwrap case for my iPhone 5 and I love it. It's so much easier to find my phone!



Findables are a different style of cell phone case that actually come in two versions: the FlexStand and the FlexWrap. They are very stylish and have a unique scannable code so it makes networking and meeting new people and connecting, so much easeier. You can scan each other's codes to get their information and store it in your phone! The FlexStand case folds into a stand so you can actually sit back and watch videos, movies, and check out pictures without having to hold your phone the whole time. There's an inner rubber part that acts as a shock absorber and the polycarbonate outer shell protects the phone from nicks and scratches. You can purchase one in a variety of colors from Findables! I love the bright green FlexStand case that I got. It makes it so easy to watch videos on my phone and I like having it standing on my desk while I'm at work so I can glance over instead of have to pick it up and check it each time. It's super smart to have this case too because I've already dropped my phone several times and I had no wear and tear! The FlexWrap
