Winter Pieces and Spring Essentials (and a blog update)
Christina’s Best Life Update Greetings, friends! And welcome to the new and improved version of Christina’s Best Life! After months of inactivity I thought a new design would motivate me to start blogging again. In the months since starting this blog I’ve found that, while super fun, blogging is a time-consuming undertaking. When I began this blog… Continue Reading

Liebster Award
I was pleasantly surprised, yesterday, to be selected as a recipient of the Liebster Award, courtesy of Thays over at Silly Crazy Love. I’d never heard of the award. Fortunately Lorraine, over at Wording Well, offers a comprehensive summary of the Liebster Award, its premise, and rules. Basically, it encourages more successful bloggers to bring attention… Continue Reading

Sweaters, dresses, and leggings–OH MY!
Fall Fashion Obsessions I went a little crazy with my shopping, recently. I don’t regret my purchases (though I think my bank account does). As September drew to a close I felt inspired to add some new pieces to my fall wardrobe. Besides spring, fall is my favorite season, not because of the pumpkin-spiced everything but… Continue Reading

Fashion Throwback [Woman in a Romper]
The Back Story In August I had the honor of being a bridesmaid at my friend Maria’s wedding. I met her in high school when I was a freshman and she was a sophomore. We both played trumpet in the marching band. We shared a cabin at band camp in the summer of 2003 and became… Continue Reading

Last Friday night comedian Ralphie May performed at The Kent Stage (in Kent, OH). While I was not in a constant state of laughter, as you would hope to be at a comedy show, May did have some some comedy gold hidden in between all the raunchy sex jokes. Joining me in intermittent laughter was my… Continue Reading

The Grilled Cheeserie: Comfort Foods with a Gourmet Touch
I’m a comfort food junkie. I truly believe I could eat macaroni and cheese almost everyday of the week and not get bored with it. (But only Kraft’s cheddar explosion. I encourage you to try it, if you haven’t already. You will become a cheese-believer.) That being said, I’ve eaten a lot of grilled cheese… Continue Reading

#ootd [in love with lace]
This was an important week for me, mainly because I’ve been given the opportunity to display my social media and marketing prowess in a professional setting. I don’t know how much information I can disclose since the details of this job opportunity are still being developed. But let’s just say that I will likely be consuming a lot of milkshakes (of… Continue Reading

“Times they are a-changin’…”
A Word from the Blogger… First of all, I want to thank everyone who has supported me during the first few months of my blogging venture. I have found the fashion community on WordPress to be very supportive. I’ve also appreciated all the feedback friends and family (hi mom!) have given me. I have confronted a… Continue Reading
