aaaaaanndd I am back. Wow. Life.

by

Starfish “in Charge” here… back at “it”. I use the ” ” in the nicest way (to myself) as is possible because wow life, it happens. There are going to be some interesting topics that we will begin to explore together now and I hope that someone, anyone, if even, just 1 are helped by the information that I can and will do my very best to convey from my heart. After all, we are ALL fighting battles of SOME sort, right? Kindness matters, that never changes. EVER. Honesty, kindness, forgiveness and resilience these things guiding us does not change there is a softness and a calm that comes even when typing those words. So I will spare you all the gory details (at once) but suffice it to say that my life is not how I envisioned it would be but “it is what it is” and I am enjoying it as I can in each moment. There will be much more soon and sharing (sharing is caring right ;)) of amazing people, products and information to come. Today, I will stay honest, be kind, forgive and remember what does not kill you makes you stronger (Kelly Clarkson said it so it must be true ;)) and do not forget to RUN HAPPY!

New Beginnings Maggie Bags Review & Giveaway

by

Sponsored by
 A few days ago I received a Campus Tote handbag from Maggie Bags to review.  When it arrived I was pleasantly surprised to see that the handbag looked even better in person than it does on the website. Maggie Bags handbags are made of seatbelts, which makes them more durable than your average purses. Not only are they durable, but they are classically designed as well, so no matter what age, background, or ethnicity you are, they have a handbag that fits your very own personal style.
I chose to review the Maggie Bags Campus Tote in Black, because for me Black is sort of a neutral color that goes with just about any shade. I also love the fact that this tote is very roomy inside. You can grab your makeup bag, sunglasses, cell phone, wallet and even a tablet, and still have plenty of room left over. In addition to this the Campus Tote handbag also comes equipped with a heavy duty zipper which helps to prevent it from being easily damaged through heavy usage. 
The Maggie Bags Campus Tote also has the perfect  compartment size for things like my ID and credit cards so that you can have easy access to them when you need them. This handbag bag is perfect the accessory to carry whether you’re  attending a casual event, or just out shopping with friends.  It’s great for the woman on the go!

Great Campaign! Join the Cause! Changing Lives Beverages LAUNCH

by

We, at Starfish Chic, are very excited to help support a great cause called Changing Lives Beverages! They are funding their start up through the innovative crowd-funding platform indiegogo. Click here to support them: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/changing-lives-beverages
Changing lives beverages
Their first two products have been specially selected for popularity and taste: Survival Water and Survival Energy Drink. Staying hydrated is important, whether you’re at the gym, on the trail or juggling tasks day-to-day. Survival Water is a clear source of refreshment that replenishes the fluids and electrolytes your body needs. Survival Energy Drink keeps you motivated to go the extra mile.

With every case of product from Changing Lives Beverages, at least three dollars per case will go towards a nonprofit charity – half to national, half to local projects in your community. For the special events where we place products, a whopping ten dollars per case goes directly to fund the causes!

Their campaign is LIVE NOW and is dependent upon the kindness of all us fellow Starfish out there that believe that doing something for others is vital to keeping us all jiving!!
