Leave your worries, cares and most of your clothes at home this spring break (but still look good).

Clothing decisions for a town that’s hours away in a climate that could be drastically different from your home is hard. And the urge to pack everything “just in case” is strong. However, you HAVE to limit your stuff and no, your husband didn’t call me and ask me to say that.

The key is to consider each piece that you pack and realize it’s potential!

Watch as I’m able to take a few pieces from Altar’d State and turn them into multiple outfits. Oh and check out these cute bags!!!!

Enjoy Winter While You Prep for Spring

January 27, 2016 No Comments

If you were looking for a blog that complains about winter, you’ve come to the wrong place.

I get absolutely giddy when the news starts reporting snow fall. I mean it – I start dancing around the house like it’s Christmas. I love hunkering down and watching every snow report from all over the city, taking a walk outside with the pupster, sledding, eating snow cream, having my husband trapped at home and all to myself for a couple days. It’s fantastic.

But I will say, after the whole thing is over it is nice to get out of the house for a bit. Get away from everything you’ve been staring at for days, maybe go to the store and buy some new things to freshen up your house and get prepped for spring (I’m throwing the “prep for spring” thing in there for others who wish this weather was gone).

This week on the show I got to showcase all the great things Altar’d State in West Town Mall has to offer. So watch this brief clip and get yourself in there to freshen up!

Atlar’d State

August 13, 2014 No Comments

Ahoy, Wednesday!

Every week on hump-day I like to pass on a product review, and today I’m taking it to something much bigger than a tube of concealer.

I want to tell you about Altar’d State! This store just recently opened up in West Town Mall, which means we have sooo many fabulous options there now. If you haven’t been in, you really need to find an excuse to get yourself in there (here’s one: you ate today. Go celebrate!)

This store has done a fantastic job of making their corner in the mall look awesome, and oh yeah they have some pretty merchandise as well!

They’re big on “shabby chic” so if that’s what you love – you’re in luck.

If you’re more like me and not so much into the shabby chic, don’t check them off your places to stop because they do have some really pretty jewelry pieces. (Although I will say, that striped top there in the middle, that could fit right up my alley…)

The staff is always super friendly, and it’s just a beautiful place to walk around. So even if you’re not searching for something in particular, take a lap around the store just to feel happy (stop and read their home décor signs while you do).

I can’t say they’re Forever21 cheap (I can’t say that at all), they do know how to put on a good sale. So if there’s something in there that you find but can’t pay full price for, wait on it and it may get discounted. But hey, even if you do pay full price for something there it’s totally worth it, as they have several awesome ongoing programs that give back to the community and help to spread the gospel.

I may not be into chabby chic look, but I am into helping more people hear about God’s love! Go check the place out!
