Packing for a Summer Beach Trip!
Many of you might be squeezing in one more beach vacation before the end of summer. Good for you! I do love the beach, but my husband only tolerates it! I’ve been married nearly 25 years, so we have learned to compromise by going to a beach with an umbrella and chair rental. My husband […]

Microplastics: What They Are and Why They Matter
I had never really thought that much about microplastics until a few months ago when two different clients mentioned that they did not want microplastics in their clothing.

Helping Clients Find a Great Wardrobe

It’s always exciting to learn new things, and as a Personal Image Consultant, education is key! I will be talking about some of the new tools I learned […]
Wider Leg Pants Are Here to Stay
Through my discussions with clients I’ve noticed there is no consensus about wider leg pants. It seems that women either really like them and have begun buying them or don’t like them at all and have been staying with skinny leg pants. Despite being a Personal Image Consultant, I am somewhere in the middle. The […]
Is Your Closet Calling You?
