When I tried the dress on, I knew immediately that I wanted to wear it with red shoes! I could obviously do black, or nude…but something about the gaudy print was begging for red shoes.  I picked up these ankle strap kitten heel pumps at Zara during their end-of-season sale for only $15.

We are incredibly excited to launch the first annual Maiedae Mixer event! Hosted by the ladies behind Maiedae: Jenny Highsmith & Savannah Wallace. This excitement is rooted in a passion to create a community of bloggers and creatives in the southeast region. Because, let’s face it…we are a pretty small community and it’s time to get out, mingle, and make this side of the states more “known” for its blogging and creative community! It’s a time to celebrate, meet new friends, and spur one another on towards great and exciting things! Plus, it’s going to be a *great* excuse to buy a new dress, put a little lipstick on, and get yourself gussied up for a fancy evening.

So to break it down a little more for you. This is a “Get Fancy, Get Connected” (as we like to call it) networking event for bloggers with delicious desserts, great music, swag bags, giveaways, crafting time, photo-booth…and a couple more surprises. It’s a time to pamper yourself, meet creatives and best of all, dress up! And trust us…you won’t want to miss it. This event is open to bloggers, small business owners and all creatives in the SE region!

Slowly, but surely, I’m working to build up my “spicy” tolerance. Spicy foods really do have some health benefits–they speed up your metabolism, they cause your brain to produce serotonin (happy hormones!), and can even help prevent cancer. For this recipe, I added some spice with cayenne pepper. Cayenne pepper in particular has many many health benefits–it’s an anti-cold agent, can help prevent migraines, aids digestion, is an anti-inflammatory, and can even help to normalize blood pressure…+ many more! so naturally, I make myself eat it. As I begin to sweat from the heat in my mouth, I remind myself: health, health, health.

 I have been so busy with work recently that I haven’t had time to write a post about this necklace that I made three weeks ago. I found this chain on sale at Michael’s for $2 (so of course I bought two) and the rest of the materials I had leftover from previous craft projects!
