Go be You!

Do something today that is "sooooo you!"

For instance... this morning I had a box of junior mints with my coffee.

You should try the combo sometime... make sure it's black coffee though! For years I couldn't bring myself to drink black coffee, but with all of my travels, a lot of times that was all that was available. A dear coffee loving friend that I traveled with quite often once taught me a lovely little trick, that has now become a staple in my life. Pop in a piece of extremely "minty" gum, or very strong mints, or anything of the sort, WHILE you drink your coffee black. The outcome is magical! And now, with or without a strong mint, I can drink my coffee black, and usually prefer to. As a result of this amazing discovery, I stumbled across a box of Junior Mints in the store one day and thought to myself "hmmmmm... this might just go really well with some coffee!" It is now one of my fall and winter time favorites! If you see me around, odds are I have a giant box of junior mints in my purse. All of my friends know this, and it is a very "me" thing to do. So.... think of your own "ME" thing today and DO IT!

Depending on my mood, this picture could have soooooo been a "me" thing. Sometimes you just need to dress with some funk... or at least I do.

I don't dress to impress, I dress to express.

Some days you need an exclamation mark on how you are expressing yourself.


Whether it's a funky outfit, your favorite food that no one else seems to like, laughing obnoxiously loud, weird music, creative art, a habit, thinking out side of the box, a secret indulgence, silly activity...


I don't even want to hear any excuses! Just GO!

"I don't dress to impress, I dress to express." That's a quoteable that I love!
