Beating The Winter Chill While Staying In Budget

Looking stylish, keeping warm and staying in budget don't have to be mutually exclusive concepts




We're friends, right? Then I'm going to take a minute and keep it 100 with you: Since quitting my 9-5 three (almost four!) years ago to start this blog and work from home, my personal style has... devolved. It's more important to me to be comfy and warm (or cool, depending on the season) than it is to look professional with my hair curled and in a full face of makeup. I keep my makeup routine to concealer, mascara and lipstick. And I've traded in my pencil skirts and high heels for comfy pants, yoga pants and flip flops. It's just the reality of working from home! Also the reality of having young kids at home - they'll spill things as much on me as they will themselves so future moms, #dontbuywhite. That doesn't mean I want to look frumpy though! I've found a great brand that has a fantastic price point and is so cozy, I'll be in it all winter long!


Now, it's true that it's summer nine months out of the year here. But y'all, when it gets cold, it gets COLD. And December, January and February are frigid here in north Texas. I know all my Minnesota friends/readers are laughing at that statement, but it's true! I'm currently tucked under a blanket as I write this and it's a whopping 36 degrees out. It might be a short season, but we do get winter here!

I'm a big fan of turning the heat way down at night so that we all don't wake up with dry mouths and eyes from the forced air heat. Y'all know what I'm talking about? Forced air heat is SO drying! So I turn the heat down to 67 and pile extra blankets on the kids. For me, I'm in love with these ClimateRight sleepwear separates.


Let me keep it 100 with you for the second time in this post: I saw the brand describe the fabric as velour, and I can't STAND the feeling of velour! I was nervous to even touch the jammies in store in fact. But I got my act together and grabbed a shirt, and was pleasantly surprised! It's far softer and cozier than traditional velour. The sleeves are reglan and so soft. The pants have an elastic waist (can I get an amen for that!) and HAVE POCKETS. Pockets! Y'all, I picked out my wedding dress because it had pockets. Jammie pants with pockets = magic. If you're tall and slender like me, you'll be pleasantly surprised with how long the inseam of the pants are. I sized up to a medium and they fit great!


I know we've all seen all the bloggers in their cutesy jammies all over Instagram. I can tell you right now most spent a small fortune on those things and they wore them for the photo shoot, then took them off. ClimateRight is totally affordable even for tight budgets at Walmart or on walmart.com (with free two day shipping!) and you'll actually want to wear these. They're so soft, so cozy for the winter and I'll say it one more time: Pockets.

  8. I have been casting spells for many years and I have helped many people, I might be able to help you too. I am honest, and I genuinely care for all the clients who choose me to cast a spell for them.


    If you have any questions about Love, Money, curse, protection, bad luck, divorce, court cases, or about me please call or email me. I really want you to feel comfortable before moving forward with any spells, or other services. I will take the time to explain things to you and provide you with honest advice, to what is best for your situation. I will not pressure you into having a spell cast, I will leave that decision up to you, and when or if you decide to move forward, I might be able to help you.
    I will respect your Privacy. I will not seek to obtain any of your personal information beyond what you might voluntarily offer and all information you might give me including emails, phone numbers and photos will remain private and confidential.
    I perform my Rituals only at night between the hours of 0.00 - 0.59 (South African time) lasting 1 hour but of course, this depends on the nature of the ritual, some rituals might take hours and can also become necessary to be performed at specials places like; flowing streams, cemeteries and other places dictated by the gods.
    I do not want anyone to be under any illusions about my spells and its numerous rituals. Real and effective Voodoo is no child's play, it is expensive because, after the rituals, I will have to destroy all the materials involved by fire and the ashes scattered over a flowing stream or river.
    You will get what you seek.But please understand this might take a lot of time and that individual results may vary. contact +27663492930, greatogudugu@gmail.com

  10. In New Jersey, divorce laws involve both fault and no-fault grounds. Couples can file for a no-fault divorce based on irreconcilable differences, provided they have been living separately for at least 18 consecutive months. Alternatively, fault grounds include adultery, desertion, cruelty, and more. New Jersey follows equitable distribution, where marital property is divided fairly but not necessarily equally. Spousal support may be awarded based on factors like financial need and contribution to the marriage. Residency requirements and legal processes must be adhered to for a valid divorce.
