My Apartment Outdoor Living Space

One of the best things about our apartment living is that I was able to create a custom outdoor living space. If you haven’t heard the news we recently sold our home and made the move to my hometown of Greenville South Carolina. While there are many things I will miss about the Greater Philadelphia area those things will never outweigh being closer to family and being able to attend my church in person instead of watching online.

I’ve found that I’m more productive and able to successfully achieve my goals when I wake up and immediately get started on my day. Of course, I always take…

How a Pair of Levi’s® 711 Jeans gave me a Confidence Boost.

Confidence is an attribute that, when employed, provides us with the faith and trust that we can do whatever we set in our mind. So many women fail to reach their true potential in all areas of life because they lack the one thing that could propel them to heights beyond their wildest dreams.
