JUST A SWING STYLE DAY

Happy Labor Day!!! I hope everyone is enjoying themselves today. Joe and I will be traveling back to Virginia today so there will not be a cookout in our future. Panama City Beach was beautiful and the weather turned out to be great. It only rained on Friday and even then it was short lived. I think today marks the end of summer and that means it is time for pumpkin lattes and football games. I love the heat of summer but I enjoy the crispness of fall. I do enjoy fall and all the festivities that happen at this time of year. I love attending fall festivals and drinking apple cider. I enjoy the fall decorations and I love seeing all the cute kiddos with their Halloween costumes. My oldest grandchild was born on October 30th so the birthday party for her and her two brothers (born around the same time) are costume parties. I have always loved Halloween parties and dressing up. One of my kid’s favorite parties they ever had was a Halloween party where I made a haunted house. I even had homemade gravestones every where in the yard. All the children in the neighborhood had a blast.I am wearing a Carly dress from LuLaRoe. This is the style of LuLaRoe that I prefer only because it hides all of my lumps and bumps. The only thing that would make it better is if it had a scoop neckline. I prefer a scoop neckline to make my neck appear longer and my chins not appear at all. Lol! This dress is an A-line or swing style dress with a high-low hem. The black and white print is something that you can add a pop of color to or just wear it plain like I did today. I think the next time I wear this that I will wear it with bright red jewelry and shoes.

I love pearl jewelry! It is simple and elegant. I like that it can be worn with jeans or with a little black dress for a fancy occasion. The short necklace that I have on today is the Rosemary. It is made in a bib style with several different floral elements made from seed pearls. The matching bracelet is the Lucinda. I wear this bracelet a lot because it is perfect for almost any occasion I like all the different floral patterns. It is 9″ and it is adjustable. The silver Wanda bracelet is lots and lots of tiny balls that dangle. It is on an elastic cord for easy on and off. This type bracelet is perfect for those who have arthritis and have a hard time fastening bracelets.The long Pearl necklace is the Noah. This is a lanyard necklace and it is 40″ long. It has a silver lobster claw for attaching your favorite pendant. I attached the 2017 Plunder Anthem pendant. The Lion on the front of the pendant is the Plunder mascot and on the other side of the Pendant (sorry I didn’t get a good picture of that) it says “Beautiful Girl You Can Do Hard Things.” Plunder’s pendants are extremely nice. They are hand soldered and are nice and heavy. This one also has pink glitter glass accents on the other side. I have a classic pair of black pumps from Coach. This style of shoe can be worn with anything, including jeans, and is a great wardrobe staple. I had been searching for a new pair of black pumps since my old pair was worn out and this pair was PERFECT!

BTW, I figured out what was wrong with my camera, sort of. My photos used to be so crisp and clear but here lately everything is fuzzy except in the middle of the picture. I have been trying to use different settings but nothing seems to work. I did some research and found out that the focus point was in the wrong area. BUT, here is the problem. In order to move the focus point you have to have the camera settings in something besides “auto” which is fine but for some reason, my camera won’t let me snap a picture unless it is in auto mode. I need to send it off and have it worked on but here is the problem, I don’t have another camera. I have ordered a new camera because I have figured out that I need a backup camera and it will be in this week. I did a lot of research and I decided on the Canon Powershot G7 X Mark II. It is consistently ranked in the top picks from camera experts, it is portable and easy to use, it produces great pictures, and it is at a price point that I can afford. Since I am not a professional photographer, but I want good quality images, I did not want to spend 3000.00 for a camera. Until the new camera arrives, I am not sure exactly what I am going to do for a couple of posts but I am sure I will figure it out. I have gotten several emails recently concerning what it means when you become a Preferred Customer (PC) of my Rodan + Fields business. Almost everyone understands that they will receive 10% off the retail price and FREE shipping for any order that is placed over 80.00 but they don’t understand the “auto-ship.” I am going to try to clarify that for you today. First off, this is not a true auto-ship. I have signed up for auto-ship items before and it means that they will ship me the same product every month or whenever the time frame is set. That is not what this is!!! This is really an auto-replenish program. Most of the Rodan + Fields products are considered to be a 60-day use. When you sign up as a PC you are then enrolled in a 60-day auto-replenish program but here is the difference. At the beginning of every month, I send out an email to ALL of my PC’s who have a scheduled shipment. I will tell them when their shipment is scheduled and I also give them a detailed instruction on how to change the products if they want to try something new and also how to delay their shipment by 30 days or even 60 days. I never want anyone to get more product than they want or need. If you still have concerns then shoot me an email and we will set up a phone call. To make sure that you get the best price available to you then the first thing you need to do is go here and become a PC. As an extra bonus for today, everyone who places an order as a new or existing PC you will receive a FREE Mineral Peptides with SPF 20 powder from me, a $30.00 value. All you need to do is email me with the color (light, medium or dark) that you would like to receive and I will get that on order for you.

Did you know that it has almost been two years since I started my blog? I am amazed that it has been that long, it seems like I just started a short time ago. If you are enjoying my blog I would appreciate you signing up for my daily emails. You only get one email a day and it is just to let you know that a new post is now live. Also, please share my blog with others that you know. There are ways that you can help me and some of them are by making sure that you “pin” something daily or that you “share” my post on FaceBook. I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for making two years fly by and for becoming my friends.
