4 benefits of using a planner

I always seem to have a lot on my mind. Between planning lessons at the schools I work at, planning my private lessons, planning my online classes and blogging, there seems to be a never-ending list of deadlines and things I have to remember to do. There’s just something about writing it all down. There’s nothing quite like it. It’s one of the many benefits of using a planner.

Ever since high school, I’ve always had either a notebook or a planner on me at all times. As a writer, I just never know when the moment will strike and I need to write something down. The Old English Company has quite a few planners that I’ve been digging. I love the simple design of them.

My experience with at-home teeth whitening.

Smile Brilliant Kit

Your smile is often the first thing people notice about you. It can make or break that first impression. However if you don’t feel confident about your smile, it can feel a little daunting to just smile all the time. However with the Smile Brilliant Kit, you can smile fearlessly, as they say.

My smile

While I’ve never been someone to necessarily hide my smile, my smile is also not perfect. My teeth aren’t 100% white and I have a stain that I think comes from my days with braces. So when Smile Brilliant reached out to me about trying out their kit, I figured “why not?” Your smile really can never been too brilliant.

Before I started the treatment, my teeth weren’t horrible but they also weren’t perfect.

Top City, a Fun Lagos Hostel in the Algarve

travel cheap or free

One of my favorite countries to explore has been Portugal. I just completed my third of hopefully many trips to Spain’s wonderful and beautiful next door neighbor. This time, I decided to head south and explore the Algarve region. I spent three nights at a fun Lagos hostel called Top City.

When I travel, I typically stay in hostels. I find that nowadays, lots of hostels are actually pretty nice. I’ve stayed in quite a few that are modern and clean. Furthermore, I love the social environment that hostels cultivate. As someone who truly enjoys meeting people from all over the world, I love hanging out in the common areas. I’ve ended up having some of the coolest conversations and formed friendships. This sort of thing really doesn’t happen as much in hotels.

I love road trips. I just love traveling on the open road and exploring new places. I love that when I go on a road trip, I get to travel at my own pace. I can stop for this or that. I can take a leisurely lunch or eat at the wheel. The choice is mine.

However not all cars are created equal. Some cars simply make for better road trip vehicles. Here are my tips on how to choose the best road trip car.

Spring dresses with Quiz Clothing

Spring dresses are one of my favorite things to shop for. I’m the girl who wears dresses year-round. In the winter, this means loading up on sweater tights. While I love wearing different colored tights and such, I’m also excited for more “dress weather.” I’m excited for the sun to shine brighter, the temperatures to rise and my spring dresses to live. There’s a boutique I pass on my way home that has transformed their shop into spring. It’s always hard to not walk in and buy six spring dresses.

Quiz Clothing is one online retailer that has quite a selection of spring dresses. Quiz Clothing is a British company that originally started in 1993 with just three shops in Scotland. They now have more than 250 shops and concessions throughout the UK and many franchises throughout Europe. Their online shop started in 2005. Their focus is fun fashion at an affordable price.
