C'est la vie
I had one of those mornings this week that was nothing short than a comedy of errors or a re-run of a really bad slapstick sitcom show. One that is so stupid that you just have to laugh because of the ridiculousness of everything - a funny misstep or fall, one right after another. The details are basic and mundane and really no big deal, but I really hate it when something starts to control my life without my permission so I'm starting the day over again with a list of things I'm grateful for. Some are tips that I've learned over the years that make my daily routine much easier and others are nothing short than love letters from our God that just wants to say hi and that He loves me.
1. Coffee - not much explanation needed here but I highly encourage the addiction. I'm honored to say that when I call Mountain Perks in the afternoon, they know my coffee drink of choice without discussion and happily deliver it to the store when I can't leave. My customers thank them for my alertness :)
2. Oscar Blandi pronto dry shampoo - soaks up the oil from 2nd, 3rd and 4th day hair and allows you to style it as you had just washed and dried. Cannot live without this product - I used baby powder for years before getting a free sample at the mecca of Sephora and have been a convert ever since.
3. Our new kittens aka chad's little snake killers - We named them Norman and Croix (after St. Croix and Norman Island) and they still have that sweet new kitten smell that I love so much. Tiny and cute are such sweet packages.
4. A husband who knows soaking a drenched blackberry in rice will soak the moisture up and allow it to work again after you accidentally spilled your water directly onto it on the way to work out.
5. A husband that knows the importance of your blackberry and keeps calm when you can't even remember your name after 2 hours of sleep and the greeting of 7am. You get it, he's awesome.
6. My wonderful girls at Humanité - Nicolette, Caroline, Cayla and Mekenzie. I'm so thankful for your enthusiasm for the store and it's products. But I'm more thankful that by being here, you allow me time to get to the heart of Humanité and work on why it's really here - to aide the awesome organizations we contribute to and growing the business into a viable source to non-profits, volunteers and those that need it most and of course our amazing community. With an eye towards fashion of course!
7. Hot water with freshly squeezed lemon juice - so thankful for this little nugget of gold. Whether I'm feeling sluggish, I've hit a plateau during weight loss or my face looks like a giant pizza - I've learned that drinking about 3/4 a coffee cup of hot water w/freshly squeezed lemon juice first thing in the morning (don't eat for at least another 30 minutes) for 1-2 weeks is the most amazing natural remedy. Before Chad and I were married I read in the book, The Fat Flush Diet, that it aides in cleaning the liver (our bodies natural filter) and helps rid it of toxins. Not sure it works for everyone but it does the trick for me every single time. A little of God's all natural love :)
8. Our beautiful mountains - Truly, there is no place more beautiful in the summer or spring time than where our little town is nestled into the mountains. Even when we didn't live here, we always made sure to be here as much as possible on the weekends so we could take in the beauty of the area and take advantage of the activities that come along with being here. Isn't it an awesome sight when your driving back to Bryson from I-40 or I-26 past Asheville and you get your first glimpse of the mountains again? Gives a different meaning to going green :)

Fun and Fun with an extra helping of Fun on the side.
This Saturday May 15th, Humanité will be celebrating our ribbon-cutting ceremony with a line-up of all day festivities! Beginning at 11am will be the official ribbon cutting presented by the Chamber of Commerce (I'm really hoping for a pair of obscenely over-the-top pair of scissors that I can just carry around all day) It's not an official party until there's food and free stuff so that's exactly what you can expect - a drawing for a Humanité gift certificate where the winner will be announced at the end of day and fabulous food served all day.
Be there or be square :)

Diamonds in the rough
I love finding excellent style pieces for you guys at great price points. It brings out the bargain hunting, cute find at TJ-Maxx side of me (I heart TJ Maxx!) Because of that, the apparel show in NYC was a success - I'll definitely be going there at least once a year for at least one of the seasons. And the clothes were AMAZING! Even better, the price points were still at the low, affordable and accessible levels that we strive for here at Humanité. The cherry on top? Normal sized clothing! I was able to buy up to size 16 and XXL for women in cute fabrics and ensembles! Somebody must be listening.
So when will these jewels be in the store you ask? I've already received a few shipments from orders placed at the mart last week, and have the remaining ones staggered each week from now until mid-july. Moral of the story? New clothes, shoes and jewelry every week for the remainder of spring and summer! I also reordered Men's clothing and amazing dresses for work and play.
High five for affordable fun.

Wanted:
If you can sew or know how to make clothing, I have a million-dollar idea for you. Two words - Tunic. Dresses. Their the easiest things in the world to make, you only have to use one type of fabric, add a fun hem-line and pow! the cutest, easiest little summer-fun dress ever. I've been on the search for this elusive stunner and keep coming up short. Their either hideous in color (seen above) or the price starts out at $300. Sorry kids. That's just crazy. Save a whale or something.
Have you been able to find an affordable tunic dress or know someone who can make them? Let me know! I would love one for myself, but if they are really, really affordable, they may go in the store!
High five for warm weather.
