Priorities First

Let me start off by saying I'm so sorry for being MIA! Being a single parent and moving is not an easy task, my spare time is consumed with moving boxes and putting Ikea furniture together! Plus I still don't have internet connection yet so I have momentarily abandoned my blog for a handyman apprenticeship.  Ok so maybe I'm not that talented with a screwdriver and hammer but it's amazing what assembling a swedish bookcase will do to your ego. In regards to my outfit if you could call it that - what do you think? Too plain? Don't even try to diss the Birkenstocks! They are a saving grace of comfort whilst moving in warm California weather. Let me know what you think and I'll check back in with you in a week!

Mothers Organic for Mothers Day Giveaway!

I'm so excited to announce Polished Practical's first giveaway collaboration with (drum roll please....) none other than the eco-friendly online baby store, Mothers Organic! (See Rafflecopter below)Mother's Day is right around the corner and lets face it mothers are the teachers of the next generation so they definitely deserve to be pampered!

Mothers Organic specializes in eco-friendly and organic products for mums, babies, kids and families. They carry a full line of products for families, including bath and skincare, eco-friendly toys, newborn essentials, health and home essentials and much more.

Their motto is simple – happy shopping for the everyday eco mama. When asked why, their answer is refreshingly honest - "Because we’ve been there before – checking out labels on baby products not knowing which ones were safe for our kids. We know how it feels to be overwhelmed with information. That’s why we created Mothers Organic. We wanted to make it easy to shop for eco alternatives for you and your baby – whether you’re just starting out with eco-friendly products or a seasoned green shopper."

Petit Fours - A New Polished Practical

One of my favorite parts of my blog is the changing Instagram feed! 

To all those who have ever received a card from me - recognize this signature?! 
My blog got a makeover! Aesthetics can make a world of difference in whether a reader comes back for more. I'm very excited how my blog design worked out - Stylelista Confessions really listened to my vision and made it happen. Thanks girly! Now my blog reflects my vibe in style as well as content. I would love to hear what you think about Polished Practical's new look!

Comfy All the Way

I'm in the middle of moving so comfort is everything to me right now. These soft to the touch trousers are almost too comfortable - I don't want to take them off! They feel just as good as sweats but minus the grunge factor. How else would you have styled this? 

OUTFIT DETAILS: Lumineers concert T-shirt, Forever21 trousers, Marshalls sandals, BaubleBar jewels & BCBG bag
