Good evening! I hope you\u2019re having a wonderful weekend. Who else is in disbelief that it’s already August 2nd? Ran into CVS yesterday and theres already a HALLOWEEN aisle!<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, WordPress has been experiencing some pretty major hiccups. I believe they\u2019re in the middle of a massive update, which has affected both my ability to publish blog posts and, unfortunately, your ability to leave comments.<\/p>\n

The good news is that it appears the posting issue has finally been resolved, so hopefully this makes it to your inbox right on time. We are still working on the comment issue and hoping that gets resolved very soon.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a busy weekend over here.\u00a0 We had dinner plans on Friday night, and last night we went to such a fun party with a White Lotus theme. We were greeted with leis and tropical cocktails, the theme music was playing, there were fire dancers\u2014you name it! They really went all out, and it was a fabulous evening. Needless to say, I\u2019m dragging a little today. Tonight we\u2019re planning on a family dinner, and then I\u2019m hoping to get home and watch The Devil Wears Prada 2. I\u2019m looking forward to seeing if it lives up to the original.<\/p>\n

Anyway, enough about what\u2019s happening in my little corner of the world. I hope whatever you\u2019ve been up to this weekend has been fun, relaxing, and filled with a little summer enjoyment.<\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s move along to this Sunday\u2019s post\u2026<\/p>\n

1 A NEW FAVORITE TOTE BAG <\/strong>I LOVE<\/em> this bag!!!! Saw someone with it meant to ask where she got it but she was gone. Thanks to my excellent sleuth work I found candlelit me tell you this is a bag everyone needs. Big enough for pool, beach and travel but chic enough to bring to your office or run errands with. I love that it’s not stiff but flexible raffia and the ribbon detailing makes it super stylish…then add the monogram and you have yourself one great looking to tote!<\/p>\n

Super roomy, love the monogram option and what a great gift! I could not be happier with this purchase! I actuality just ordered two more as gifts and found out today they are on sale!<\/p>\n

2 INFLUENCING\/CONTENT CREATION AS A COLLEGE DEGREE? <\/strong>Yes, its true! I did a double take but this is where we are headed! I heard one of administrators who helped to create this major (technically it’s content creation) on a podcast. She made a pretty decent argument for it but to me, spending all that college money on your kid to go an become an influence?<\/p>\n

The one thing she said\u00a0 that I do agree with is that the market is saturated<\/em> with influencers and brand creators and its harder than ever to make a name for yourself as a breakthrough star. I don’t know though, I still cannot wrap my brain around college tuition and walking away with a degree essentially as an influencer.<\/p>\n
