Spring Into Hot Picks Under $100

Now's the time to start looking at your wardrobe to see what the heck you already own, what you've had for years that's finally back in style 10 years later and what staple pieces you're missing! 

Catch a few of these new trends. The secret? If you can't afford this look for this price..go somewhere else. If you don't have a Target nearby, go to TjMaxx or Nordstrom Rack. If you refuse to shop discounts, which I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to show some TLC to your wallet, find these similar looks at Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and even local boutiques in your area. Also another secret: Shopping at a lower cost means you can afford to actually wear your adorable fashions out and about for lunch dates or drinks!

Support the Cause

Acqua For Life

"The UNICEF Tap Project is a nationwide campaign that provides the world's children access to safe, clean water. During World Water Week, March 20–26, 2011, restaurants across the United States will encourage patrons to donate $1 or more for the tap water they usually enjoy for free. In tandem, UNICEF Tap Project Volunteers will be supporting their efforts by conducting local fundraising events and activities. Thousands of restaurants, dining patrons, and students, along with corporate, community, celebrity, and government supporters have made the The UNICEF Tap Project a powerful national movement.

Songs for Japan

With over 30 of today's greatest artists, comes an amazing compilation for only $10.00 in the US. It's an awesome way to expand the knowledge of what's happened in Japan as well as to distribute word of mouth relief funds. Visit an excellent article from PR Newswire to expand your knowledge of such an excellent idea. I've already purchased my 38 songs on the Songs for Japan album. Become a part of a great cause and receive the gratitude of knowing you've contributed. Spread the Word. Spread the knowledge. 

A Breath of Fresh Air

When was the last time you stopped to sit at the park, on your porch or your patio for a breath of fresh air? Did you actually sit out there to read a book and watch the neighbors walk by or did you simply just sit there because you were frustrated about something? 


Next time you head out the door past the chairs on your patio, think about sitting in one when you come home. The 20 minutes of relaxing your mind and paying attention to what's around you instead, will make you feel at ease. Do it for yourself. Do it for your personal mentality and you'll see how it can positively leave an effect on others around you. Allow someone to see you relaxing like this because in turn, they might need some relaxation in their own life. 


Make it your escape to breathe a moment of fresh air.
