#BernsFashionChallenge - Week 2

-
Week 2 in an attempt to fundraise for The Princess Project is complete! #BernsFashionChallenge is posting your outfit of the day every day to Instagram and promoting self-confidence and individual beauty, just like the non-profit does. I will donate one dollar for every new follower I get on Instagram at the end of the month of June. 

Follow me - 'bappletree'

I invite you to even post one outfit of the day with my hashtag #BernsFashionChallenge - it takes two minutes and it helps spread awareness. I have a friend in Australia that commends me for doing this challenger and encourages me to keep going! I will!! Awareness has crossed the Pacific Ocean to down under.

You also should follow Danielle S.! She has posted everyday and looks fabulous even when she's cooking at home. Check her out. I think we'll have to schedule a girls' day in so I can play in her closet.

Notice I am not always in recognizable brand name gear. You don't need to have Armani or well-known brands. The beauty of this is to also get new, small designers and businesses some exposure. Everyone needs to start somewhere, right? Small businesses need a chance. They're just trying to make a living and support their family. Though not a fashion brand, think of small businesses like my sister's machine shop in Pittsburg, California, On-Point Machining, and read about her small business. 

Have some gear you want me to post in this challenge? Let's collaborate! Email me.

Also, be sure to come by DW in San Francisco, California for our next #WomenWednesday event on July 6th. Rania Theodosi of Craft & Clothes will be there. She was an inspiration for this challenge. We will be donating one dollar for every Karl Stauss craft beer and cute clothes pic that is posted that evening to The Princess Project. Come get some delicious beer for a good cause!

The Bad Girls Club & Love Games, Sarah Michaels, IS the Wellness Shot!

I became a fan of the Bad Girls Club when a Season 3 marathon was airing (in 2008, is it?) and I just had the television on while I was doing chores around the house. Every now and then I’d hear “*BEEP* you, you *BEEP*ing *BEEP*!”, some screaming and “This is the Amber Show” do-do-do-do-do-Doo! Eventually I was glued to the screen and not doing chores anymore and spent most of the day laughing and thinking “ohnoshedidn’t!” They were NUTS! I don’t think I could live my life with a camera following me around and for the whole world to see and criticize. But I kept on watching and when fights broke out, my boyfriend would hear the screaming from another room and ask “WHAT are you watching?!?” I am not one for reality television. MTV had it with The Real World with Pedro, Puck, Pam and whoever… when it was in San Francisco. (GO GIANTS!) With all these Big Brother, The Bachelorette and other shows popping up, there were just too many to pick and choose from to watch. And I was never a

My Most Engaging Post Yet

Christmas is just days away. A storm in the Bay Area has passed. Two holiday parties were a success. But these past 18 hours have been a whirlwind for sure. Yesterday evening, after dinner, in our home office discussing the home we are in process of purchasing, holding a gray box from The Shane Company , my boyfriend (wearing a black long sleeved shirt and his Adidas pants with white paint stains from painting the condo earlier this year, and I in jeans, my Toby Keith blue tank top from his Las Vegas “ I Love This Bar ” restaurant, my blue SFSU zipper up sweatshirt, and my brown childhood blanket draped over my lap) got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. “Yeah.” I hugged him tight and kissed him repeatedly. He was shaking and said “I can’t believe you said ‘yes.” I couldn’t stop smiling and crying and saying “I love you.” And I couldn’t help but laugh when I called him my fiancé for the first time. Wow, we’re really engaged! Since we were in the process of negotiati

It's Gonna Be May

I'm sure you've seen it. If you have a friend named May, the *Nsync memes are overtaking your Facebook and Instagram feed, right? Tomorrow ends the month of April and I was 10 posts behind the daily blog post challenge. For this Monday Motivation post, I will keep going until I reach that 30 count. Better late than never! May is turning out to be a busy month. Not surprising for this One Busy Bee. I finally have a set schedule for my part time job as a Concierge at the Argonaut Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf. I really do like the job, what I'm doing, the hotel and staff, and how the time spent here contributes to my experience in the travel and tourism industry, all the while continuing in the hospitality industry as well. Working only about 30 hours a week, it will finally allow me to schedule workouts, get in some sort of sleeping pattern and work on my business as a Travel Agent . There is so much to do! So far since I received the month's work schedule
