This past weekend was full to say the least. From Friday night till late Sunday, I only visited my house on occasion it seemed. I wanted to share with you all just a snippet of my weekend in my Mississippi hometown. I kicked off the weekend at the new cool coffee spot in town, Urban Foxes, owned by the couple Cody and Molly West. By day, it’s…
Multiple commercial cruise safety terrors and the Titanic movie have been enough to keep me from giving cruise life even a wink of consideration over the years. But here I am, having recently disembarked from a Carnival cruise in the middle of January. It’s funny how life will get you out of your comfort zone quick, fast, and in a hurry. So, how was cruise life…
This Summer, I’ve had the best time finding classic white dresses in natural materials. As I’m getting older, I love shopping for cotton, linens, silks, etc. because it’s been terribly hot and sticky down South. For just around $20.00 each from my favorite discount retailer, I was able to add new staple pieces to my wardrobe, including the white dress in my A Picturesque Afternoon At Bahia…
Looking for a completely visual experience while in Marrakech, Morocco? Bahia Palace is one of the must-see places you need to visit in the Old City. It’s a unique former residence of sultans and high-ranking leaders that is the combination of several riads and gardens from the 19th century. While today, there are still several private rooms in use, this is a major tourist destination as…

Hey Lovelies! Thanks so much for visiting my site again. I can’t wait to tell you all about my latest adventure. I literally just got back this past Monday in the States from Marrakech (also spelled Marrakesh), Morocco. While I was touring Marrakech, I was so busy y’all. Busy walking through unyielding traffic, busy bustlin’ through the souks, busy camel riding, busy tangine-nin’, etc. Yeah, this…
I actually find it quite ridiculous that I have gotten to the point of searching affordable sandals on the Internet. My unique 11 AAAA Narrow shoe size is a pain at times, so many brands and retailers do not offer my size. So, I turned to the Internet to research affordable custom shoe shops around the world. I quickly found that U.S. brands charge and arm…
Welcome back y’all! Last week, I recapped my food tour journey in Dallas during the Memorial weekend. If you haven’t checked out that post, SSL Bites: Full on Dallas, be sure to take a look. This week, I’m talking foodie spots on the outskirts of the City. Outside of Dallas, TX, there really are some really cool places to live, work, and play. And between cities like…
My Friends and I Explored the Dallas Fort Worth Food Scene Through Its Food Tours This past Memorial Weekend was one for the books! One of my friends and I traveled to Dallas Fort Worth area to catch up with our dear friend from college who is living her best life in DFW.

While this year’s highly anticipated Met Gala was missing the presence of some mega stars like Beyonce, Ariana Grande, T-Swift, and Rhianna, our fashion-centered eyes were still still able to feast off a handful of celebs who brought the WOW factor in the shoe department. I was disappointed that so many celebs chose super simple (BORING) single strapped sandal stilettos to this event. I’m always expecting…
