Pantone Color of the Year: Valiant Poppy + Why You Need It

As luck would have it, I happened to pick up this dress in one of the season's hottest colors: Pantone's Valiant Poppy. Lucky me!Even though I’m a fashion blogger, I’m not necessarily up to speed on my fashion know-how and the latest trends. I rarely immerse myself in what’s on the runway, but still feel it’s important for me to stay in the loop.

Pause & Reflect: My Health and Fitness Story

At the beginning of this year, I wrote a blog post about my health and fitness. I also did an Instagram story and feed more recently that was centered around the same thing so I thought I would do an update. No, I haven't lost the weight.
