Fantastic 14: Day 10: Tinsel

Tinsel-
Finding the Sparkle in Everyday Life
  Today I am thrilled to be able to introduce an awesome blogger and my new friend, Melissa of Tinsel-Celebrating the Shiny Things in Life! 

an excerpt from the Tinsel Pinterest archives...

What caught my attention intially was the name and overall feel of this blog: we all know that I LOOOVE sparkle, glitter, and everything beautiful. Tinsel is a fun, humorous, warm, and inviting look at all of the little things that make life wonderful. 


Melissa shares with us stories about her family, her pets, and her adventures in DIY-ing her lovely home. Take a moment to read her blog and you'll find yourself nodding in agreement (I personally laughed out loud at her most recent post about her little dog Lucy!).


From the Tinsel Facebook page: "Tinsel is defined in the dictionary, as pretty, but basically valueless. Well one of my fave things is to find value in things others find valueless. The broken, the worn, the aged and chipped, cracked and basically "loved to pieces".
It's funny how a gut decision like naming a brand can be second (and third and fourth) guessed but deep down it just made sense to me and hopefully people "get it"."

Please take a moment to peruse the Tinsel blog and check them out on Facebook & Pinterest
Happy reading!

31 Days, 31 Reasons to be Thankful: January 24: Glitter

Glitter!!!!!!!!

I love it. I honestly can't think of a single time when I've thought, "boy, that's too much glitter" (I'm speaking strictly in artistic terms...cosmetic usage is a completely different topic). 

When I say "glitter" I mean ANYTHING that glitters, sparkles, shines, and otherwise reflects everything overtly feminine and bling-y. 
In fact, I've kind of built a business around my love of these things.

Someone once told me I leave a trail of glitter everywhere I go...including toes (ha!). 
I am inclined to agree.

Today I am thankful for glitter because it evokes in me the senses of happiness and joy, 
beauty and femininity.

How do YOU sparkle in your everyday life?
