We all know that girl. She's moving and shaking and making things happen and freaking getting things done. She's going into business for herself, making her voice heard in her city, putting a unique stamp on her family, giving back her time and talents in significant ways. And you wonder how you could ever do that? No, seriously. How could you even compete with that? Because you're not nearly as creative/assertive/innovative/talented/fill-in-the-blank. But here's the thing, friend. This . . .
Easy Summer Style
