    How to Build a Cozy Travel Wardrobe That Lasts

    August 10, 2026 - By 

    A cozy travel wardrobe should feel soft, look polished, and suit several parts of each trip. Every piece needs a clear purpose, a comfortable fit, and enough versatility for repeat use. Thoughtful choices also reduce suitcase weight and simplify daily outfit decisions.  Sleepwear deserves the same care as daytime clothing, especially during flights, hotel stays, and quiet mornings. Quality bamboo pajamas for women can provide breathable softness, flexible comfort, and light coverage without excess bulk. Allow me to explain how fabric, colour, fit, layers, and proper care can create a travel wardrobe that lasts. Start With a Coordinated Colour Palette A simple…

    Going The Distance with KURU’s New Wide Runners

    August 7, 2026 - By 

    My husband Jim is gearing up for a massive martial arts grading later this year. After years of practice and competitions and trying to eat right, this last stretch is near, but it is also the hardest. Now he needs to level up, start running occasionally and continue with a minimum of three big workouts a week. We were gifted KURU ATOM 2 extra wide sneakers for consideration here. I genuinely love this brand so much that I wanted to share our experience as a service to readers. My opinion is my own and it is honest. So, we’ve been…

    How to Bleach Dye a T-Shirt in a Few Easy Steps

    November 29, 2020 - By 

    So, a few weeks ago my daughter was all about this bleach dye phase. We had seen it on several sweatshirts and hoodies and thought that it looked cool, but the finished product always seemed expensive. So, we wondered if we could do it ourselves. How hard could it be?

    Stylish Sunglasses for Women from SmartBuyGlasses

    April 29, 2019 - By 

    Stylish sunglasses are a must for both looking good and keeping your eyes healthy. Two things that matter all year round actually. Recently I needed a high resolution business headshot to accompany a magazine feature. Simple enough, right? Wrong. I gave up on this endeavour because when I sat down to look for a high resolution headshot I realized all my photos featured me wearing ski goggles skiing or sunglasses hiking, walking, riding. Silver lining – I guess it’s good that I clearly protect my eyes all year round. Just not so great when hunting down a professional headshot. Start…

    How to Kick it Up Now – Easy Fall Style for Men

    September 10, 2018 - By 

    Fall style for men is something that gets neglected this time of year. With all the posts and advertisements out there about back to school I think men get forgotten. To be honest out of everyone in my family my husband is simply far less inclined to go shopping or revamp his wardrobe, even when it’s necessary. My husband spends the majority of his time in jeans, shorts, and workout gear, but when he has to get dressed up, he can be super picky. He’s actually quite fussy about the fit and cut of his clothing, so I know men…

    Svelte Women’s Body Shaping Clothing

    May 29, 2017 - By 

    To be quite honest I rarely give much thought to women’s body shaping clothing. I do give consideration to clothing that looks good and feels good. Price and quality is also important. Everyone occasionally needs or wants a bit more support from their clothing. But you really don’t want to sacrifice style for a little extra lift or support. Right?   Now I am not really a subscriber to the theory that women need to hide their curves or their imperfections at all. But you do what works for you and everyone is different. Terms like muffin top kind of…
