Who has time or the inclination to iron ANYTHING when you are on vacation. That’s why I picked this little gadget. If I can freshen up a sun dress or a skirt in mere seconds… that suits me perfectly! And, it’s small enough not to take up any room in your suitcase!

The temps might be dropping a bit as we head toward September, but not so in the south. In fact, they are experiencing a heat wave, so this outfit would be perfect… So, I picked this for you!

As far as I’m concerned, you simply can’t spend too much time on the beach. And have you see just how many incredible beaches there are to choose from in the south??

I can remember getting ready to go back to school and how exciting it was to stock up on a new wardrobe. Unfortunately, in those days, we weren’t treated to sales tax holidays, so we really missed out. But you can take full advantage of the offerings. I was amazed to see just how many items were on the list!

I leave on Saturday and I have been given strict rules about how much to pack. I am notorious about packing everything I MIGHT need and this usually means a lot of luggage. That might not be so bad when we are driving, but that’s not the case this time. We are flying which makes it even harder to know what to leave behind. I practically live in flip flops all summer long and fell in love with this pair the minute I saw them. They should pretty much go with EVERYTHING I plan to take for the week.

And they …read more

Brianna Bucket Bag
Have you ever noticed that when you go on vacation, the bag that was big enough at home, suddenly isn’t big enough to carry all the bits and pieces ( souvenirs) you tend to pick up while “on the road”. That’s why I chose this one for today. It’s big and roomy. And it comes in six different colors, and the price is pretty hot at $29.99.

I picked up one of these while on vacation a few years ago and positively lived in it. You can pull on your bathing suit in the morning, wrap one of these around yourself, pull on a pair of flip flops and you are done! I only wish that I could do that all summer long… in the north. Just doesn’t happen unfortunately, but while on vacation… take advantage!!
In the south… it’s all about being comfortable!! And stylish too

And here’s another version… you can see just how versatile these can be!!

As far as I’m concerned, you simply can’t have too many bathing suits. And today, this one caught my eye!

Actually, it was my son’s girlfriend who changed my way of thinking. On a recent trip to Cuba, I don’t think she wore the same bathing suit twice!!

While on holiday, there should be lots of time to simply relax and that often means… not having to get dressed. Yes, I’m one of those people who loves to simply lounge and do nothing while on holiday and if I can simply lounge out by the pool with a good book, it works for me.
