Yesterday, my husband and I got a chance to spend some quality time together and while we were out we stopped by the mall.  One of the stores we stopped by was JC Penney's, and I've been eyeing their Joe Fresh Collection for some time now, but I've never bought any pieces.  While looking through the collection, I saw several pieces that caught my eye and all three happened to be on sale.  The original price would've been $63, but I only paid $36.  SCORE!  Now, I can't wait to style them:)

Since my family and I have relocated to Maryland, there is nothing like being able to go to the beach.  It also helps that we're 30 minutes away from the beach as well.  So, when I'm able to snap some photos of the ocean, I try to do so.  Here are some photos of my day at the beach, one photo is of the ocean and the other is a photo of several kite fliers flying their kites while at the beach.

Although, I just completed my first year of blogging recently, lately I haven't been motivated to write. When I started my blog last year, I was so excited and pumped I hated skipping more than 1-2 days of writing.  However, lately I've been so busy unpacking boxes and getting our new home together, I just haven't been motivated to write.  Maybe I'm in summer vacation mode, or I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with my unpacking, but being in summer vacation mode has been so nice though:)

What do you do when your not motivated to write?  Any thoughts?

I've been doing my own nails lately, and I definitely miss getting them done professionally, however it's nice to be able to change nail colors whenever I want too.  Although, I own a good variety of nail polishes I wanted to step it up a bit, so I ordered 2 bottles of nail polish from Mod Lacquer.  So, for my nails today, I applied 2 coats of Sinful Colors Professional nail laquer Feeling Great and for my top coat, I applied Kosmik Karma from Mod Laquer.  I absolutely love how my nails turned out, and I look forward to purchasing more pretty nail polishes from Mod Lacquer in the future as well:)

I thought I would do something little different today and share with you the contents in my handbag:) Since I'm a big handbag girl, I normally change my handbags daily.  However, lately I've been trying to carry the same handbag each day, because I always leave something important behind that I need.

So, what's in my bag?  Today, I decided to carry my Gucci Pelham and inside my bag is my wallet, a notebook, pen, my IPhone 5, hand sanitizer, a bottle of Aleve, my Sonia Kashuk make-up bag, Tom Ford Sunglasses, and my Love, Cortnie coin purse.  So tell me, what's in your bag?

YEAH!  Let the festivities begin:)  I'm so excited that I've completed my first year of blogging and I'm so anxious to see what my second year holds for me.  When I first started blogging, I really didn't know much about it, but I'm so thankful that I continued blogging in spite of, because I really enjoy doing it. Also, I would like to thank all of my followers for your support and sticking with me, I really appreciate it:)  I can't wait to begin my second year, and my hope is that you will continue on with me through my blogging journey.
