Meet Brittany!!!I just recently started my blog (last month) after following (and being inspired by) so many blogs for the past year.   Second Hand Solace is about my experiences as I buy only second hand clothing this summer, and is mostly about thrifting but I’m hoping to expand it to include some of my other hobbies as time goes on.  As far as about me personally, I’m a senior at Mansfield University of PA studying music education.  I’m a violin major but I play sousaphone in the marching band. I also love crafting, outdoorsy type things and shopping.

Today we’re excited to introduce you to another of our XL ad sponsors for June!

Here’s a few words from the lovely Nicole…I started my blog in 2009 to document our home renovations for our family. Flash forward to 2011 and I felt the urge to blog again. I blog about anything and everything. I love fashion, diy, and design but my most important role is a mother to my sidekick, L. My hopes is that he will be able to look back at this little blog someday (ya know since I don’t scrapbook). I’ve made the decision after much prayer to change the name of my blog so I can separate my personal blog from my business. Oh and did I mention I’m a blog designer??”

Lately…

Hey there lovelies! 

Lately there’s a few things that I’ve been loving around this amazing blog community of ours. Thought it would be a good idea to take a day and share with you a few things I’m positive you won’t want to miss!

______________

 I adored this post about making love an action word… Bonus? It includes my most favorite scripture…. maybe that’s cliche, but I don’t care. haha.

SO, SO excited and happy for this sweet girl!

Know anyone getting married? !

Did you know you can have culture shock in…. America. Totally can. And living without Mexican food?! I would never!

This chick has an AMAZING shoe collection… Color me jealous!!! 😉

 Here’s a few fun ideas of activities to do with your kiddos this summer!

Speaking of fun activities do you have a fun list like this? We’re thinking of hosting a sort of Bucket List link up soon… Maybe you should start one! 😉

Isn’t this bow holder ADORABLE!?!?! You can .

I’m not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I can see this recipe making a mushroom lover’s week!

This sweet lady has the cutest little girls!

I’ll take a few of these no sew extender slips… One in white and one in black!
K, thanks. 😉

Can you believe this outfit cost $5!?!?!

Do you ever feel like this with your BFFs?

 I was abruptly made aware of a CRAZY way someone can steal and use your photos! I had no idea things like this were happening! Watermark your pics peeps! Especially those of the kiddos!

The fourth of July is coming up! Help your little miss !

While you’re at it, !

I WILL be drinking my  HOT AZ summer!

A little about Lena, according to Lena!! 😉
“I am a lot of things… a fashion-lover & wannabe photographer, a good girl with a thing for tattoos, a wife/daughter/sister and friend… but of all the things I’ve been or am… a mommy is who I was meant to be.  My son was recently diagnosed as autistic… and although very high functioning, we will be taking this journey together.  My daughter is the most precocious & spunky little lady I’ve ever met. They are total opposites, and fill our home with so much life!  I met my husband when I was 16 and I’ve been with him ever since.  We raise our family is a small farming community in Quebec, Canada.  We don’t necessarily”blend in”… but we definitely feel like this is where we “belong”.”
