Pinterest & Chronic Illness

Day 24 prompt: Create a Pinterest board for your health focus & share!

It is no secret that I am a complete Pinterest addict and I have found it to be especially helpful in organizing ways to benefit my life with chronic illness! Today’s prompt was a needed kick-in-the-tail to get it organized and I actually split my board into multiple boards so that I can better find my pins in relation to category such as Advice, Encouragement, & Support or Products That Make Life Easier. I hate searching through fifty pins to find the one I’m looking for so I’ve found that reorganizing my boards into more specific categories has made things much easier!

Three of my favorite latest pins are:

A Few of My Favorite Pins

May 11, 2012 By Jamee 3 Comments

With bouncing between so many doctors appointments the last week or two, I have had a hard time feeling pretty. Its been more of a blah. So I decided to do what every girl should do: 1- Vow to get back to linking up with What I Wore Wednesday and take more initiative to spend a little more time putting together outfits that make me feel better about myself; and 2- Logged onto Pinterest.

Here are a few of some of my favorite things that caught my eye this week:

I sorta have a thing for the chevron pattern these days so that matched with my love of skirts in warm weather makes me adore this outfit! I love the boho-chic accessories and the pop of green as well! I wish I had the hair too!

The only thing I would change about this outfit would be that the shorts would need to be longer! I would be quick to throw on flip-flops with these but I love the show they have paired with it!

This polish would look great the the outfit pictured above! White and turquoise just screams summer to me! Anyone else?

These short hair tips are getting my through my frustrating awkward-in-between-want-to-chop-off-all-my-hair stage! Need to stick to my guns for my bucket list!

Favorite 5: Finding My Style

June 24, 2011 By Jamee 7 Comments

Why not end the week on a fun note? As I posted yesterday, I’m already concerned about what to wear to not only BBC but also in trying to be more comfortable in my own skin (you can read that post here). So as always, Pinterest to the rescue in finding some ideas! Here are my top 5 pins in helping me find my style:

I think I am going back to my short hair roots! My hair is driving me bananas (and I’m keeping it pulled up all the time) so I think I will feel more “me” if I go back to rocking a short ‘do!

I am completely swooning over this color. My hair now that its back to natural is turning red on its own so why not help it out a little? What do you think?
