Grace, glory, beauty all wrapped into flesh.

The way to a woman’s heart. As I type those words I actually laughed. There are countless books, articles, tips (7 secrets, 12 magical ways to make her fall in love) and on and on; it is quite amusing. Like weight loss everyone is looking for the easy way or the fastest. While some of the material is helpful just like with anything else, unless you put it into practice it doesn’t help. I am sure most women have said he was so thoughtful when we were dating, but....... I am sure you can finish the rest.

Fact is a woman is a delicate creature. While fierce and protective she is gentle and beautiful. After all she was fashioned not merely “created” Genesis 2: 22 The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. What an amazing picture: grace, glory, beauty all wrapped into flesh. The way to her heart is through your own. She is part of you from the being of time. However, when she or you gives out their heart over and over it becomes weak and distrusting. She, like you must first love herself.

2. FITNESS: After yesterday’s post you know I’m working on living healthy, which for me means I’m back to running. Running is my thing. It makes me feel great, I actually enjoy it and I see results. Now don’t get me wrong, every. single.time. I dread it and it’s a constant struggle to get those tennies on my feet but once I make it through that first 1/2 mile I’m reminded why it’s really not so bad. Get me some good tunes and a cute workout outfit and sometimes I’m actually excited to get out there! This is also absolutely something I have to schedule in my day. Whether it’s in the morning or after work, at least 4 days a week it’s gotta be on the calendar and I need to remember to pack my clothes!

Where you’ve seen her: Fashion Contributor to Fox 43 News & Owner of My Kind of Lovely Now located at the Southern Markets

This month has been a major get it together month! I tend to live in a state of overbooked and am continually running from one thing to the next but I’ve decided that’s just who I am. I just need to learn to embrace it and the only way to not live in chaos and stress is to get it together and get organized. While the thought of organizing my inbox, let alone my entire life, really triggers some anxiety, the end thought really makes me happy! I’m not a naturally organized person so this will definitely be a process and a learning experience but I hope to share some of my organization tips over here. That may need to be it’s own separate series, but I’ve decided to share my progress in this month’s Heart Happy post. The three things I’m working on this month are, schedule, fitness and budget.

I’m trying to be really diligent about my to-do lists and my planner. Keeping all these things up to date and making sure I have some downtime. Blogging time in there is crucial. I typically don’t schedule time for blogging. I just work when I can, but a lot of times that means staying up until 2:00 am finishing up the next day’s post because I filled my entire day to the brim and that’s the only time to squeeze it in! So, going forward, I’m going to try to schedule my day. Schedule photoshoots in the morning and leave at least an hour block in the evening for strictly blogging. No shopping, no Pinterest, just working on the next post. There’s a lot of room for improvement in organizing my schedule but Pearls & Twirls is a personal style blog that combines a classic southern style with a quirky, twirl around attitude. You’ll find classic pieces paired with fun accessories and bold and bright colors that make any outfit pop. I also live by my motto and tagline: Style. Inspire. Repeat.

Have questions or need help? Please feel free to email me! I’m more than happy to answer even the simplest styling questions! Need more help than that? I’m also a stylist! Be sure to check out my styling services and I’m more than happy to work with you! For more style tips and trends, be sure to visit PearlsandTwirls.net. Ooh and look for next month’s Hushh magazine for my Spring Closet Clean-Out How To’s!

3. BUDGET: I’m really trying to be a responsible #girlboss and implement a budget. I’ve started these plenty of times, I even have an old budget Maybook somewhere I should probably dig up. But they’re hard, something always comes up that you didn’t think about or budget for and it gets discouraging. But it’s the responsible thing to do, so I’m going to give it another go! I’m working on it this week and hope to fully implement February 1st. One thing that will definitely help out is cutting out shopping the entire month of February. I’m super excited to be teaming up with Becky and Jaclyn on No Spend February so that we can hold each other accountable. If I feel like others are in it with me I’ll definitely feel much better about holding strong to my commitment. With that said, I’ve got today and tomorrow to make any last minute purchases! Eek!!

Mind Over Clutter—Start the New Year

Organized

Maximize your home for storage

It’s been said that the one phrase never uttered in the history of mankind is, “Do you know what my problem is? I have too much storage space.” (Oh, wouldn’t it be loverly?) Most homes do suffer from a lack of functional storage space and without a plan to change that, clutter and chaos continue to reign.

Tailored Living® designers are experts at creating custom, tailor-made solutions for your home that will exceed your expectations. They can help you find and maximize storage in closets, home offices, pantries, laundry rooms, guest rooms, entry ways, garages, basements and more. With innovative design, detailed measuring and our exclusive 3D D’Vinci design software, you’ll be amazed at how much available storage space you actually have!

Making a room-by-room assessment, you’ll be able to control the clutter of life with storage solutions customized for each space.

• Convert vertical space into functional storage

• Enclosed cabinets hide clutter but keep items easily available

• Optional accessories like pull-out hampers, drawers and racks help control clutter

• Fashionable styles, colors and finishes to match existing décor eliminate an “added-on” look

• Hardware choices and personalized accessories allow for ultimate customization

• The Tailored Living free, in-home consultation brings the designer right to your door

It’s a family affair

Custom storage systems provide the battle plan for winning your own private clutter war. Implementing some rules of organization will ensure that your storage is used to its maximum efficiency. Getting the whole family converted to a de-cluttering mindset is key to a stress-free New Year for everyone.

Be Comfortable In The Skin You’re In

As we start this new-year let’s look at how we go about getting healthy. Most people set goals in the terms of weight and body fat on a scale. This will work but sometimes can be frustrating not seeing the numbers change. So let’s try a different approach if the years prior haven’t worked.

This is going to sound weird but try looking at yourself naked in the mirror. This will do a few things. It will allow you to see yourself without clothes that cover up our imperfections. This isn’t the easiest thing to do but it will open your eyes to what needs to be done to regain your health. It will also give you a realistic view of what you need to focus on. We can quickly and accurately see what we want to change. This isn’t about putting yourself down but about owning what you have, accepting it, and if you are not happy with your body/health then do something to change it! Seeing yourself completely exposed may be hard at first but will actually make you more confident and comfortable with your body as you progress and let you see the progression before the scale.

Consistency. Not Perfection: I often tell my clients “consistency not perfection.” What I mean by this is not to focus on being perfect all the time. Most people can’t be perfect so it’s quite a leap to even assume so. If we do try and be perfect we quickly go crazy and get off of our plan. But what we can be is consistent. Consistency is key to achieving results. Consistently eating correctly and working out regularly will most definitely find the results you want. It may take some time but you will get there.

If you are ready to start seeing results let me customize an 8 week program just for you! This program is tailored to your personal needs and ability based on your assessment. Call for more details.

The sole purpose of the American Heart Association is to fight heart disease and stroke, the main killers of both men and women nationwide, through research and education.

This year’s event will mark the 31st Annual Knoxville Heart Gala

Saturday, February 20th, 2016

Location: Knoxville Marriott Theme: Heroes in the Spotlight

This year’s event is chaired by Jennifer and Greg Dunn, President of Regal Entertainment. The theme is “Heroes in the Spotlight”.

These 4 local health heroes have used the medical advancements, made possible by research funded by the American Heart Association, to save countless lives from cardiovascular diseases and stroke.

Why support the Heart Gala?

Coronary heart disease is the No. 1 killer of Americans today. Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death, behind heart disease and cancer, and a leading cause of serious, long-term disability. All cardiovascular diseases combined claim 1 million lives every year—more than the next 16 causes of death combined. A successful Heart Gala will give us the opportunity to help fulfill the American Heart Association’s commitment to fund the research and education that is critical to reducing heart disease and stroke.

American Heart Month statistics in the United States:

• Fewer Americans have been dying of heart disease and stroke since the 1980s thanks to progress in medical therapies for patients with a history of heart disease and stroke and from lifestyle changes that are curbing the risk.

• In every year since 1900 except 1918, CVD (cardiovascular disease) accounted for more deaths than any other major cause of death in the United States. Stroke still ranks fifth.

• An estimated 85.6 million people in the U.S. are living with cardiovascular diseases, including heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure and chest pain.

• Among U.S. adults, 32.6 percent—about 80 million—have high blood pressure.

• Despite an overall 28.8 percent drop in cardiovascular disease death rates from 2003 to 2013, the high blood pressure death rate increased 8.2 percent over that same time.

Romantic Restaurants

1] C&C Bistro

C&C Bistro, the sister restaurant to Coffee and Chocolate is located off Clinch Avenue and offers an original French menu. When thinking of romantic cities, Knoxville doesn’t come to mind, but with an authentic French cuisine designed by chef David Franchuck, the feeling of being in the most romantic city in the world is an order away. Chef Franchuck studied in France for three years and has brought an original French menu, carefully paired with wines and chocolates, to Knoxville. Seating is slim and Valentine’s day is sure to make this little Bistro popular, so call in and make reservations soon. $$$$

S crumps Cupcakes has a passion to serve you in the most scrumptious way possible. No matter what preferences you may have, our 50 different cupcake flavors will ensure that you’re delightfully satisfied. Just how popular are these desserts? Scrumps Cupcakes was on the famed Cupcake Wars TV series. This is no surprise, though, when you experience for yourself these delectable treats that leave everyone who tastes them wanting more! In 2011, Scrumps Cupcakes gained nationwide notoriety on Food Network’s Cupcake Wars, putting us on the map for a truly divine sweet destination for food travelers across the nation. Our three famous cupcakes on the Food Network Channel were, The King, Chocolate Cream Pie and Maple Bacon.

2] Cafe 4

Cafe 4 has been a Market Square favorite for years. The menu is seasonal and offers a large variety with a mixture of foods; from sandwiches and burgers to steaks and seafood plates, all with southern ties. The dining area is a dimly lit, private area that offers a nice setting for couples enjoying a Valentine’s dinner. $$-$$$

3] Naples Italian Restaurant

Naples has been the Southern Italian go-to restaurant since 1978. The menu is unique, fresh and delicious. The dining area offers a traditional Italian restaurant ambience without the pricey tickets to Europe. One of the greatest attributes Naples has is that it’s been around for decades. It’s seen its fair share of Valentine’s dinner dates and is sure to cater to any situation thrown their way. $$-$$$

4] Northshore Brasserie

France and its cuisine are automatically associated with romantic dinners, that’s why there’s two French restaurants on this list. Northshore Brasserie has a distinct, french Belgian menu that changes day-to-day. It has a relaxed feel in a lower lit dining area that brings Knoxville yet another fantastic European dining experience. $$$-$$$$

If dinner wasn’t enough and something is missing from the Valentine’s night, head over to Coolato Gelato. Although it’s cold outside, the vibrant, energetic little shop offers some of the best gelato in Knoxville with generous portions and reasonable prices. $$

Take that special person on a romantic dinner that they’ll always remember. With these 5 choices you’ll be sure to wow your significant other.

Ifyou

like to cook for someone special, surprise them with a gourmet meal loaded with nutrition. This Meal has not only delicious flavors that will thrill your date, but protein, healthy fats, fiber and vitamins so you’ll both feel great, not over stuffed, and you’ll be able to enjoy the rest of night without being bloated! Then you can save a little room for chocolate... I recommend buying a 60-80% Dark Chocolate bar.

Can you tell us a little about your music? how did it feel to have your 1st ticketed event?

We’re kinda like a rock and roll version of Lady Antebellum. My wife Kelli and I sing and we sing duets. One of my favorite things about being independent is that we don’t have to do any particular style. Sometimes we’ll get outside the box and do something different and fun.

We played our first ticketed event last August at the Bijou. It was a great feeling. We didn’t really have anybody to tell us what to do or how to do it other than some advice from friends. We played the bar scene for so long and we just felt like it was time to play our own music. So we rented the Bijou and almost sold it out.

what do you all have planned for this year?

Well this will be our first year of touring. I’ve always read a bunch of articles and books about getting us out there and it really seemed like what we were missing was a booking agent. The hard part was that, from what I read, if you’re good enough the booking agent finds you. We basically based the future of our band off of the Bijou performance. We figured we would give it a shot and if it didn’t get enough response we would be go back to playing the bar scene. Needless to say we were very fortunate from that event. We found our agent and we will be in Nashville, Kentucky, North Carolina, Florida, and Chicago so far in 2016.

can you tell us about your new single ‘yee to the haw’?

Oh yeah, we are pretty excited about this one. We are going to record the video for ‘Yee to the Haw’ LIVE during our performance. We had to cancel all of our bar shows. It was bitter sweet, but it was just time to do that. So now we will be playing about 4 big shows this year in Knoxville. We’ve opened a few times in the past at Cotton Eyed Joe and we thought what better place to shoot a party music video than the Joe.
