     Hello, All!  Despite the seriousness that’s going on all across the globe at this juncture, I am compartmentalizing the serious stuff, and dealing with the issues of the world in small doses…yet still plowing ahead here on the site, as if everything is fabulous.
 
     I am actually a serious minded person, concerned with world affairs from a Biblical, financial and political perspective. However, this site is geared towards the lighter side of life so I will keep my very strong opinions to myself.  Just let the record reflect that I am also alive in, aware of,  alert to, and praying for all of the issues that surround us.
 
     I say this, especially because I get to see the different countries that this blog travels to by way of the Internet…and my heart is with all of you, as well as my home, America.
 
     I just wanted to add that in!
 
    And with that, you can click the quick video above to find what neat products I am bragging about this month!

DRESS for the HEAT

     What do you do when you have to appear somewhat professional-ish, but it’s 100 degrees outside, but sleevelessness and any hint of cleavage is not allowed?
 
     I decided on a shapeless, short dress, with sheer, almost see-thru  sleeves, funky shoes, and a messy updo.
 
     Although I’m never a huge fan of anything with a round neck, severe cleavage and chest flesh is sometimes inappropriate (but sometimes acceptable!) So this dress is perfect for outings that require a little more conservative presence!

     As the weather gets colder, I might be tempted to wear leggings with ankle boots and a scarf, to winterize this dress. However, for now… this is my attempt at dressing despite the heat!

5. CHEAP BIOTCH
 
     As I was trying to do a beauty post called Cheap Biotch…it was thundering and raining outside…so this little one was up in my grill wanting me to stop the thunder so she was constantly interfering with my photo taking.  Poor thing!

6.  INSTAGRAM
 
     The last couple of weeks of this month have been hard.  We had a very close friend in an accident while vacationing in Florida. We jumped on a plane to see him and his family.  This is the only photo I took during that 24 hour jaunt… because it was not a pleasure trip.  It was kind of funny noticing how outdated my tunes were on my phone though.  
 
     We are still waiting to see what God decided to do in this situation, all we can do is pray for understanding that his will be done.
