As usual, the paperback will be a few days behind the eBook.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">As an accountant, I had a lot of fun putting this title together. Yes, the topic of personal finances can be fun if you approach it with the right mindset. This book is full of strategies and ideas to elevate the experience of managing your money. It is light on number crunching and focuses on the “soft side” of personal finance. There is something in here for everyone, no matter your stage in life.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">As we enter a new season (fall or spring depending on where you live), it’s a great time to start a new project and adopt a fresh perspective. It’s the perfect time to elevate your money mindset! 💰🧮🌅</span><p></p>Jennifer Melvillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11465688800202275902noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1929655474754009518.post-7921432457443475322022-08-25T10:59:00.002-03:002022-08-25T10:59:08.024-03:00<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNeV1PMVKGnFlPzDbd5YxhV1AsRJWPNVTNKhsnaWS62IjwU43RrRrrds3rMuN3ZTLiO46t1d0GVCME4UFTORCgH59nIVBsVqMVR_q7lFddlVZiMcgtmfSgXrxBS0XXD6O_0f6JPzBaI8O0c4we05RJ5LJdD_92K0Y8fRJ1kDgJ5QrnhHfc5_fdoEFuXQ/s640/52159058-DB00-4F62-BC0B-21D8FF3ECE2F.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNeV1PMVKGnFlPzDbd5YxhV1AsRJWPNVTNKhsnaWS62IjwU43RrRrrds3rMuN3ZTLiO46t1d0GVCME4UFTORCgH59nIVBsVqMVR_q7lFddlVZiMcgtmfSgXrxBS0XXD6O_0f6JPzBaI8O0c4we05RJ5LJdD_92K0Y8fRJ1kDgJ5QrnhHfc5_fdoEFuXQ/w640-h640/52159058-DB00-4F62-BC0B-21D8FF3ECE2F.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht13-XiB8913ZmTDoKUzIjlnLw7Hv1AkjzpoYn730JAehAVAu2r3YiBN10eirgwGIGhiaL4c0u77OqWcqD_jti1iWiVHzhwT3us9S_Ns_3FL75LYcL_0GPxQUV0ZzoU1GHgyFfXoVZnItA3vru6vN2z6pw7vFpBG-01RYCgj2On1NJoz0xO95N4VytqA/s1080/coming%20soon.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht13-XiB8913ZmTDoKUzIjlnLw7Hv1AkjzpoYn730JAehAVAu2r3YiBN10eirgwGIGhiaL4c0u77OqWcqD_jti1iWiVHzhwT3us9S_Ns_3FL75LYcL_0GPxQUV0ZzoU1GHgyFfXoVZnItA3vru6vN2z6pw7vFpBG-01RYCgj2On1NJoz0xO95N4VytqA/w640-h640/coming%20soon.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Yesterday my husband and I met with a lawyer to have our wills updated. It’s been on our to-do list for a long time. Although dealing with legal and financial “stuff” can bring up yucky feelings, it really does FEEL GOOD to get these sorts of things sorted out in life.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">This is something I address in my new book, “Elevate Your Money Mindset”, which will be out in less than two weeks. Money is a topic that brings up a lot of anxiety for people. The problem is that the more you ignore your personal finances, the worse you tend to feel. Grabbing hold of your own financial reins is empowering and can feel liberating. My hope is that my new book will encourage you to do just that!</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">The fall is a great time to tackle your financial to-do list because it feels like a fresh start, and time to get down to business. I’ve been busy tidying up all my paper files and clearing out my filing cabinet.

As a result, I spent a lot of time analyzing the denim choices of Parisians during my latest trip. Jeans are really popular in Paris, which suited me perfectly! For the most part, I spotted wider-leg and straight-cut varieties (not many skinny jeans in sight). Although I noticed washes from dark to light, I didn’t see a lot of heavy distressing. I did, however, notice many women sporting rough-cut hems. I think it’s a great way to add an edge to your jeans without going over the top. 👖</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">If you swipe over to the next photo, you’ll see a snapshot I took of a Parisian woman wearing “cut-offs” that really caught my attention. I love the classic combination of black jeans and a white shirt. Doesn’t she look casual chic? The rough-cut hems add that bit of edge (as did her cigarette that isn’t shown in the photo!)😂</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">I had this pair of jeans set aside for tailoring (at 5”3” most of my bottoms need to be shortened). I decided to take a DIY approach and chop the hems off myself. I ran them through the wash a couple of times and they frayed perfectly.

You don’t have to buy a ticket to a museum or art gallery to be immersed in beauty, history, creativity, and art. There are works of art at every turn—from awe-inspiring historical monuments to enticing store windows, impromptu street art, and masterpieces on my plate.<br /><br />When was the last time your visited one of your local galleries, or bought a ticket to a live performance? Now that restrictions have lifted, it’s a great time to get out and soak up some art in your local area. You can also choose to live as the French do and add your own artistic flair to everything you do, from getting dressed to plating your food. Have fun expressing yourself!</span></div>Jennifer Melvillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11465688800202275902noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1929655474754009518.post-92115755427962612912022-07-31T08:00:00.001-03:002022-07-31T08:00:03.076-03:00<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSuF4QgdaC4WVv0GADbs0edcQsa86XwhboyIvU5rnCb7fivNu4YS8uN1Qk4ZBsYPS3nyFQZiJFItpu8AY_R4bFQSjPwniSg3wopMYs3OlN97K1qm1nZ8KtAmFzExy8UQ-tB9DBURSjztGaFgpmC51GIzARsw1qaNGnONNAWsNat6dQSebZ9xYKAFOCpA/s1440/74FDAA99-FE59-4C5B-914A-9753B5C90BAD.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1390" data-original-width="1440" height="618" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSuF4QgdaC4WVv0GADbs0edcQsa86XwhboyIvU5rnCb7fivNu4YS8uN1Qk4ZBsYPS3nyFQZiJFItpu8AY_R4bFQSjPwniSg3wopMYs3OlN97K1qm1nZ8KtAmFzExy8UQ-tB9DBURSjztGaFgpmC51GIzARsw1qaNGnONNAWsNat6dQSebZ9xYKAFOCpA/w640-h618/74FDAA99-FE59-4C5B-914A-9753B5C90BAD.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqusivOibJo4dyfCy_j9lhrdX3yGUATYH62bua11JmBGdRRefsN43VWkNTOXRa7473ReiiA7R2FZ9XEejbQENWuqnMPa4UVvupD_TZY7zWXNDpsTd9OghX2FOAINDthvKcrvukwM9CRzJ4bZmgxc3HcuLuhUJphpHf4-ulttIEokCJ3jgB2qJbRLSCxw/s1440/AEF75079-217F-4947-B4C1-F0750B8A517F.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1386" data-original-width="1440" height="616" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqusivOibJo4dyfCy_j9lhrdX3yGUATYH62bua11JmBGdRRefsN43VWkNTOXRa7473ReiiA7R2FZ9XEejbQENWuqnMPa4UVvupD_TZY7zWXNDpsTd9OghX2FOAINDthvKcrvukwM9CRzJ4bZmgxc3HcuLuhUJphpHf4-ulttIEokCJ3jgB2qJbRLSCxw/w640-h616/AEF75079-217F-4947-B4C1-F0750B8A517F.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Today I’m continuing with my sneak peek into the pages of my newest book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B64JQDVL/ref=sr_1_1?crid=9FIPJC4VE8O7&keywords=paris+in+my+panties&qid=1657321265&s=digital-text&sprefix=paris+in+my+panties%2Cdigital-text%2C65&sr=1-1" target="_blank">“Paris in my Panties: Live Your Best (French Inspired) Life”.</a></span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B64JQDVL/ref=sr_1_1?crid=9FIPJC4VE8O7&keywords=paris+in+my+panties&qid=1657321265&s=digital-text&sprefix=paris+in+my+panties%2Cdigital-text%2C65&sr=1-1" target="_blank"><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /></a><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Chapter 10: Become Your Own Master Chef</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">French cuisine is world-renowned!

Escape the office during your lunch break and find a quiet spot outdoors. (Please, no eating at your desk.) If you work from home, it can be difficult to separate work from home life. Designate an escape room in your house where work is not welcome. A corner of your deck is a great option! Turn your bedroom or bathroom into a sanctuary with soft lighting and soothing scents and sounds. Designate these areas as device-free zones and escape into the present moment instead of a trip down the rabbit hole of social media!</div></span></div> <p></p>Jennifer Melvillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11465688800202275902noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1929655474754009518.post-73167686100126038282022-07-28T10:45:00.009-03:002022-07-28T10:47:24.192-03:00<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy_kwVnBEQQ5FzrH77GnQlefUgoQwdQhSyZ1UDkbFfnbe9KdEd1Te777cjAB6twwf3TAW2L4Ds38M0EMwO4Gqx2oOkHDAKOAaUz7u7knUVxjG2jqJxbvDOcOymw6efyJEOm6Qo8_nGcSEPCxHm-cf_oTbct1zKY_y3WicJCbxnHssd9riojXnS_b7AWQ/s640/IMG_3535.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="561" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy_kwVnBEQQ5FzrH77GnQlefUgoQwdQhSyZ1UDkbFfnbe9KdEd1Te777cjAB6twwf3TAW2L4Ds38M0EMwO4Gqx2oOkHDAKOAaUz7u7knUVxjG2jqJxbvDOcOymw6efyJEOm6Qo8_nGcSEPCxHm-cf_oTbct1zKY_y3WicJCbxnHssd9riojXnS_b7AWQ/w562-h640/IMG_3535.jpg" width="562" /></a></div><br /><span face="-apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-size: 14px;">If you are a big reader, I think you would enjoy connecting with<a href="http://www.marylisarusso.ca/" target="_blank"> Mary-Lisa Russo. </a>She is a fellow writer with a book of poetry coming out soon!

Well, the stars finally aligned and I found my coveted piece on eBay recently. It’s in pristine used condition and I picked it up for about 20% of the retail price. When it comes to shopping secondhand, patience is key! That special item on your list will eventually turn up ⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the perfect addition to my fall wardrobe and I’m looking forward to wearing it if I can get Junior to give it back. (It makes a snuggly blanky as well). What are you treasure hunting for these days?

It’s such a charming and comical little read. It’s written from the perspective of Boy (his dog) and tells the tales of his adventures living in Provence. I actually credit this book with sparking my love for Provence! Have you read it? I think it’s time for me to pull it off the bookshelf for a re-read.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">I love travel books because they allow you to escape to a foreign land from the comfort of your home. My new book “Paris in my Panties” is meant to do just that . You’ll jet you off to Paris for a quick, light and fun little getaway, and return home with some inspiring ways to live a richer, fuller, French inspired life. I hope you'll join me on this adventure to the City of Light!</span></div></div><p></p>Jennifer Melvillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11465688800202275902noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1929655474754009518.post-34712437204855243202022-07-09T10:01:00.006-03:002022-07-09T10:01:43.263-03:00<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXkn4UTXBWzONYRZ7byYyzu7sNXB4XNerxD6VipKvgT8EM6tgEPi0CPDFYo3brcMiZj67XGK0AFN_jejzC4GEnH-yJ4YKl9QhgmRTQS_yxRg1i1HUhG5DKM_vnCLXR3uBu2tw-7_BQC9yMKbdZSEj5jQmzmhaDxkQhrydr_PvFfTjpvmQH1VefP0ov-w/s1080/Paris%20in%20my%20Panties%20Kindle%20IG%20Post%20.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXkn4UTXBWzONYRZ7byYyzu7sNXB4XNerxD6VipKvgT8EM6tgEPi0CPDFYo3brcMiZj67XGK0AFN_jejzC4GEnH-yJ4YKl9QhgmRTQS_yxRg1i1HUhG5DKM_vnCLXR3uBu2tw-7_BQC9yMKbdZSEj5jQmzmhaDxkQhrydr_PvFfTjpvmQH1VefP0ov-w/w640-h640/Paris%20in%20my%20Panties%20Kindle%20IG%20Post%20.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Bonjour mes amies!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I'm so excited to announce the release of my new book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B64JQDVL/ref=sr_1_1?crid=9FIPJC4VE8O7&keywords=paris+in+my+panties&qid=1657321265&s=digital-text&sprefix=paris+in+my+panties%2Cdigital-text%2C65&sr=1-1" target="_blank">𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙋𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨.</a> (Yes, you heard that right...my panties! ) If you are a lover of all things French as I am, then this is the book for you.

Even though I’m on high tick alert (yuck), I love the forest in the summer. The cool shade of the trees is so refreshing. We have a little trail that runs through our land, which is great for Coco and Junior as they love to run free. To add a bit of whimsy, I’ve been hiding little treasures along the path, such as these little elves. Yes, they have a certain tackiness to them, but they make me smile each time I come across them on my walk.

I used one of my favorite second-hand shopping techniques from my book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Preloved-Chic-Stylish-Wardrobe-Second-Hand/dp/B09WXKNHWP/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2P9QUISU90UE0&keywords=preloved+chic&qid=1656871786&sprefix=preloved+chic%2Caps%2C78&sr=8-1" target="_blank">“Preloved Chic”.</a> I purchased a duplicate! I already own these sandals in tan, (they are the Sol Sana Teresa slide) so I knew with certainty the style and size would fit my foot. Many preloved shopping sites don’t allow returns, so you really do have to be careful when making purchase decisions.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">Have you made any preloved additions to your wardrobe lately?</span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></div><p></p>Jennifer Melvillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11465688800202275902noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1929655474754009518.post-48533896631539764962022-07-02T11:14:00.004-03:002022-07-02T11:14:42.517-03:00<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-56PFaoKFRDpoKmYlW_c97Ts6bJJCD8qi6htUCjQGMp2AquDV-KSKoOMt69bYWOBuw6j4n80lSxEOumq-d2IljpwggFgt_NkG-BfQJw24xkrY4HDFR4_V6rlRci-_-ksfiRP1c-RxSwAzD7JkXywFuJFv55D5_mz_-PkzhGFs5-XdPq9hGRg-2Suxmg/s640/IMG_3054.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-56PFaoKFRDpoKmYlW_c97Ts6bJJCD8qi6htUCjQGMp2AquDV-KSKoOMt69bYWOBuw6j4n80lSxEOumq-d2IljpwggFgt_NkG-BfQJw24xkrY4HDFR4_V6rlRci-_-ksfiRP1c-RxSwAzD7JkXywFuJFv55D5_mz_-PkzhGFs5-XdPq9hGRg-2Suxmg/w480-h640/IMG_3054.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">Another sneak peek into my book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B286C3J7">“Seashells in my Pocket”.</a></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">CHAPTER 6: EMBRACE BEACH CHIC STYLE</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">When I think of beach style, I think easy and natural.
