Rock☆Mom Style: The ESQ One by Movado ESQ

I’m all about being casual chic. As a busy wife and mommy of 4, I always need interchangeable looks that can beswitched from mommy casual to wifey chic. This completely includesaccessories! A perfect addition to my casual chic armor is the ESQ One by ESQ Movado. It’s cool and colorful. Fun and fashionable.

I love the color! Check out what I would wear with this gorgeous watch.

Florals are so in this summer. Showing a little leg keeps it flirty and fresh. My tank add coolness to the look. And my blazer and heels keep it classy. My ESQ One completes the look.

Rock☆Mom Home: Getting My Patio Summer Ready

I am SOOOOO glad that the warmer season is approaching on the East Coast.  Since my budget is super tight, I buy home accessories a piece at a time.  My hubby laughs at me–but the rooms in my house are getting fully decorated over time–and he compliments my efforts through all of the teasing. :)

I am now working on my summer patio deck.  I plan to have at least one function a month over the course of the summer. And of course, I am getting most of my pieces from two of my fave places to shop: Ikea and Target. Take a peek at the snapshot of a corner of my deck to see my progress.

Now, here is the budget breakdown:

The only thing that I didn’t add was the recommended Ikea Varda wood stain ($7.99) that I used on the table and the crate to darken the wood while protecting the furniture from the elements.

Check back to monitor my progress over the next few months…

Rock☆Mom Lisa Ling and Dove Partner to Make Girls Unstoppable!

I don’t have any daughters, but if I did, I would want impress upon them that they are beautiful from the inside out. In our Western society, girls are often heavily influenced by what they see on TV and what they hear—so much so that it is hard for good parenting to get through if there is a shaky foundation. Dove has partnered with Lisa Ling for its ” Let’s Make Girls Unstoppable Campaign.”

Did you know:

Anxiety about looks begins at an early age and is proven to hold girls back from reaching their full potential. A troubling 6 out of 10 girls stop doing the things they love because they feel bad about their looks. They disconnect from life and even avoid normal daily activities such as raising their hand in class or going to the doctor.  

Note: This is NOT a sponsored post. I simply like the message and intent of the campaign. :)
