Lesson Learned

FABULOUS TIP FOR TODAY!

As I was shopping last night with friends. I found this adorable piece of what I would call art. I placed it in my cart and walked around the store asking myself if I really needed to have it? I spent an hour in the store my friends went off in their own direction and I kept looking at the piece I had displayed in front of me. Well, the time came to cash out at the register. Of course my friends were already done,cashed out and waiting for me at the exit. I swear not always the case. I looked over at them and showed them my "find" to ask what they thought. The response was great and one of my friends said this exact thing to me, "Does it make you smile?" My answer was obvious I had smile from ear to ear so out of the cart in to my bag and off I went. I love my purchase. So when you have that moment while shopping stop and ask yourself,"Does this make me smile?" If the answer is "yes" then buy it...

  4. Great tip! I also go with, "If you love it, buy it - you'll always find a place for it". I love to be surrounded by things I love rather than a decorator coming in and just putting things together that they think looks good. It may look good, but it also has to feel good and be what you love.
