Midwest Living, West Coast Style
Thanks to U by Kotex for sponsoring this Summer Essentials discussion.
We just discussed the top trends for Summer 2014. We’re less than a week away from the official kickoff of summer! Let’s face it, though – summer is already upon us. Now, these are some of my absolute summer essentials!
In most parts of the Northern Hemisphere, Summer is upon us. The days are longer, the sun is brighter, and it is HOT outside. Shorts are out, and sweaters are a long forgotten wardrobe staple. Here are some of the hot summer trends for 2014.
Brighten Up Your Wardrobe
While neutral pieces are easy to match and can quickly become a comfortable staple, it’s hard to make a statement with neutral colors. Adding color to any outfit can draw attention to the areas you really want people to see. Whether you’re comfortable in brighter colors or prefer to blend in to the background, you can add color to your wardrobe without spending a fortune. From accessories to colorful bags, you can make a statement without stepping out of your comfort zone.
In times past, society may have been scandalized by those who decided to marry outside of a chapel. An initiation to attend an outdoor wedding may have resulted in raised eyebrows and whispered conversations about newfangled ideas. Trends in weddings today seem to be almost completely opposite of what they were in the past. Diamond rings for men? Women in a tux? Themed weddings, unique wedding venues, and high adventure weddings draw the attention of people worldwide as pictures and ideas for outrageous wedding ideas are spread through social media.

I’m working with Tilex® on a paid basis, but my opinions are my own.
The house I used to live in had a mold problem. It didn’t at first, but then a bunch of kids moved in, and, well, we all know how kids can be. Especially when they’re not supervised. The group of kids managed to pull off the part that kept the water and moisture out of the crawlspace of the building.
Before long, there was a noticeable sense of moisture in the apartment. Soon thereafter, we started noticing mold growing in the showers and bathrooms. This wasn’t the normal bathroom mold that just about everyone has, though. NO! This stuff was, like, nuclear powered super strength able to regenerate quickly mold.
This conversation about living in small spaces was sponsored by Pottery Barn.
When you are living in small spaces, like a dorm room or an apartment with many roommates, you need to invest in pieces that can do double duty. Storage is usually at a premium, and you have to be sure that your furniture pieces are in the right scale. Here are some tips to make the most of your small spaces. We’ll be using pieces from Pottery Barn’s PB Teen line to demonstrate the tips for small space living.
Thanks to Oriental Trading for providing some of the supplies for these Resin Glitter Pendants.
As most of you know by now, I have a love affair with glitter. I mean, I’m pretty sure it’s a two-way street and we’re thisclose to being official. I wanted to make something that I could show the world my love, not just another home décor glitter project. Enter the Resin Glitter Pendants.
Real resin is difficult to use, and in my experience, has mixed results. You have to make sure that you mix it just right, for long enough – but not too long – and that the weather is just right. Yeah, I don’t have the time or patience for all of that. Sooo…I chose to use Diamond Glaze, which is a resin-like product, but about a thousand times easier to use. There are other brands of this on the market, but Diamond Glaze and Crystal Lacquer are my favorites.
Music is one of the defining factors in my life. I use it to get pumpe up, I use it to mellow out. I even use it as background noise when I go about my day. Unfortunately, it’s not always convenient to set my phone or MP3 Player somewhere because I can’t hear it! I am sure I’m not the only one with this issue. That’s where the Korus V400 Wireless Speaker would come in handy.
You just set it up with your device, and let it go! Instantly, there’s music everywhere you need there to be. It’s not just for music, though. Nope. Use it to watch Youtube videos, where the sound may be low or uneven. Use it to watch movies, especially on a trip, when you may need more sound than comes out of your tablet.
