Today was one of those challenging days. I planned on waking up early, so I could do my hair and answer a few emails before taking on the world.

Throughout the past year, I’ve cultivated a list of websites that I visit often. These web-resources make my days brighter, more efficient and full of sparkle. Take a look, and let me know if I’m missing any that you adore…
