It’s so nice that Spring Break is finally here.  I’ve been getting caught up on a few things that I don’t have much time to do during the school year plus getting in some extra rest, which is something else that isn’t always possible some weeks during school.  I don’t have any shopping scheduled for this week since I don’t need any clothes, shoes, or carhartt jeans, etc.  One really nice thing is that our son is home from college for a week.  That makes Spring Break fun!

There are a lot of people making jewelry these days.  A dear friend of mine makes beautiful jewelry using beads and has had quite an extensive selection of beads to choose from.  I’m not sure what she has now, whether she has any clear glass tiles or any other type of beads, etc., but I do know that I am enjoying wearing the pieces of jewelry in my collection that were made by her.  She’s very creative in her jewelry making and in any artistic project she undertakes.  In fact, she used to be an elementary art teacher so you can imagine how creative she must be.

As a school teacher, I don’t have to wear a uniform or any specific type of clothing.  But we are expected to dress professionally and not wear anything denim except on certain Fridays.   One of my friends, however, has to wear nurses uniforms.  Another friend is an accountant, and since she goes into the warehouse to check inventory at times, she can wear jeans (at least on those days).  Some people do get to wear jeans to work as long as they’re nice jeans and they wear a professional looking top.  I always look forward to the Fridays that we get to wear jeans and so do nearly all of the staff I work with.   If you work outside your home, what type of clothing do you wear to work?

Do you know how healthy seaweed is? Very healthy! I take seaweed tablets, actually “kelp” which is large seaweed, just about every day. Kelp grows in nutrient-rich waters and is loaded with these rich nutrients, like the B-vitamins, natural iodine, and minerals for example.  It’s evident that Kelp is great for most people needing to supplement minerals in their diet.

 
There are also seaweed products available such as creams, shampoos, conditioners, and bath products. Some people use these products to help skin problems such as flaking or scaling.  Whether taking kelp tablets or using these products, there seem to be several benefits from using seaweed.

One thing I’ve noticed is that the older I get, the more sunspots I seem to have. The sunspots are from spending too much time out in the sun without sunscreen when I was younger. Maybe I need to visit a skin care blog, but now I’m too busy with work at school to think much about my skin. I’m thankful for cover-up makeup that helps hide the sunspots!

Some friends of ours invited us to go to the Symphony with them last month. They had extra tickets and treated us to a great evening. It was on a Friday evening and people didn’t dress up as much as they do on Saturday evenings. I was glad because I wasn’t in the mood to dress up a lot.  There were probably people there with diamond earrings and necklaces, Black diamond earrings and nice jewelry, though, and some people did dress up more than others.
After the concert was over, we went to Starbucks and talked and visited for a while. We all share a love of various types of music which includes classical. My husband plays not only the guitar (which I’ve mentioned before) but also the violin. Our friend played the viola when she was younger. So it’s just natural that classical music would be enjoyable for us.

I have had the same watch for many years.  It still looks stylish, runs great, and I’m thankful to have it. I won’t be looking for a michael kors watch or any other brand since the one I have is all I need.  Actually, I do have another watch but never wear it because it’s not really my style.  It’s a gold watch, and I wear mostly silver or sometimes a mix of silver and a little gold.  The watch I wear all the time is a mix of mostly silver with a little gold.  Like I mentioned, it’s still stylish!
