Music: Sugarland - Babe featuring Taylor Swift

Just heard this song, tonight. Apparently, Taylor wrote this song and asked Sugarland to sing it. Taylor sang on it too. It's super catchy. I think this song will be hugely popular! See what you think.

My Experience Trying Online Clothing Boutiques

I am sick of all my winter clothes and wanted to add some floral and bright colors to my wardrobe. On Instagram, I've been seeing some cute floral shirts and dresses from boutiques. So, I decided to try ordering clothes from boutiques. My coworker uses Jane and Eleven Oaks Boutique. I checked them out and found shirts and a dress.

From Jane, I ordered:

Colorful Colorblock Floral Tunic from the company, Tickled Teal

I still haven't received this and it's been two weeks since I ordered it. :( They keep changing the date of when they've shipped it and when it will arrive. I'll keep you posted on when it arrives...

Then there's this beauty...I ordered the Floral Raglin top in ivory from Loopsway.

This is what I received...

I absolutely LOVE this Brooklyn Floral Midi Dress made by Liam & Co.

It is so soft, fits like a dream, and has pockets.

I love that Jane offers styles in several different colors.

From Eleven Oaks Boutique:

The nice thing about Eleven Oaks is that they don't charge shipping or tax, though their prices are higher because they must be including shipping and tax in the prices. For a 15% discount, use the code: SUNNY15.

Just Can't Wait Cross Top-Coral looks pink in the photos, but coral in person.

I wanted it to look cute on, but it didn't and the color wasn't right on me. :( Trying to sell it on Facebook Marketplace to avoid paying to return it and then only getting in-store credit (had to end up sending it back).

Summer Colorblock just didn't look right, so I'm trying to sell it on Facebook Marketplace (it sold for nearly what I paid for it).

The only item that I did like from Eleven Oaks was their Brinkly Mixed Media Print Top-Navy.

Unlike the other shirts, this was a tighter fit. I love this shirt's pattern and floral.

Eleven Oaks Boutique has the world's most inconsistent sizing charts. Makes ordering very hard. So, I wasn't crazy about 2/3 of my order.

*What's rough about ordering from boutiques is that return shipping isn't free and you don't get cash back, you get in-store credit (boo!).

Book: Rise and Grind by Daymond John

Daymond John shares a lot about his childhood, path to success, and current life in his newest book, Rise and Grind. This is the first book of his that I've ever read. I must say the title grabbed my attention. The book also features the stories of famous people and not-so-famous people who've achieved great success in their lives. He shares their steps to success that can be replicated.

The book highlights hard work/grind as a step to success. He urges readers to chase their dreams, to not be content with one job, but to grind and make their dreams happen. His message resonated with me as I've worked since I was a kid. Now, as an adult I grind to make my dreams happen. In addition to my full time job, I work two flexible part time jobs and am always looking for ways to make money. I also, sell clothes and shoes online. The dream is paying off my car, buying a house, traveling more, and getting a puppy. These are the dreams I can control and work towards.

The book is full of great tips for success and inspiring quotes.

It was an easy read and re-inspired me to Rise and Grind.
May we all put in the work to meet our dreams.
