In a bit of an unrelated post…Saw this yesterday over @ Maison Bentley Style and thought it too funny not to share. So, having acquired permission, this one’s for all of you out there trying to tackle being a (beautiful, fashionable) woman, a professional and a mom…
Dear Friends, Just a quick line to say: Happy New Year! Hope you all had a blast ushering in 2014. Here’s to hoping it brings peace, health, love, good fortune, happiness & lots of success to everyone – the world over. On a more personal note, thank you all for being around and supporting me in this. Hope we’ll see more of each other this coming year. Wishing you the absolute best – may all your wishes come true! XOXO(XO)
If you are anything like me, it is now about the time (less than a week before the holidays) when you start panicking over not having bought presents for any of the people on your list yet… If that is the case, fear not! Today is “Holiday Gift Guide Day” over here at Lifestyle Counter, hopefully providing you with enough ideas and inspiration to tackle the looming task in a most efficient (& happiness inducing) way.
