We just got a Von Maur right by our house. Do you have one? I had never heard of it before. It’s really close to my house though, so I’m sure I’ll be going there often and stalking the sale racks for good deals! He he he!
So anyway, Von Maur is basically a high end department store. They had some great stuff there too! I got a pair of huge fake diamond earrings for only $7! Pretty good deal. They sold real diamonds there too, but I decided I’d rather have a pair of huge fake ones than tiny real ones. For right now anyway. 🙂
Shirt: Gap
Necklace & Watch: Forever 21 (I’m in love with my white watch, so here are look alikes #1
Skinny Cords: Wax Jeans (purchased them from my local Pitaya)
Flats: Jessica Simpson
So today’s inspiration might be a little biased, but I’m really excited about it! I’ll start with a little intro into the whole situation.
About 3 or 4 years ago, my husband started a website (Oh, and you may just find a few articles written by me!). It started out as a hobby for him and grew into a full time job. When the company he was working for got bought out, he got laid off. It sounds like it would be a bad thing, but it was the best thing that ever happened. He was able to transition right into running this business from home. He’s been working from home for a little over 2 years now.
Right after he started working full time on our business he got this idea. We are so thankful as a married couple and realize we have so many blessings and want to make sure we’re not always trying to get, get, get, but also remember to GIVE! So he set up this challenge. Here, I’ll let you see for yourself…
So the idea is you give something everyday for 10 days. No rules. Just give on purpose. Babysit your sister’s kids, buy your child an ice cream cone, give your spouse a back massage, make a special dinner for your family, buy the drink for someone behind you in line at Starbucks. You get the idea.
It’s so much fun! You can tell friends and family and do it with a group too. (It makes it more exciting when you can tell them about things you’re going to give and stuff!) It really changes your life when you get your mind off yourself and onto others. I’m so excited!!!
