Hi everyone! Happy Sunday. I want to start by saying a big thank you to everyone who has been commenting on my blog, sharing my posts, and offering suggestions. I truly appreciate your input. Today is Sunday, and it's another day to shine in my world because I go to church every Sunday and sometimes attend weekly activities. So, welcome to another blog post about what I wore to church.
In a previous post where I showcased my church attire, I received numerous comments about how people dress for church, and I must say, you're all correct. I'm not here to judge, but I believe we all know what is appropriate to wear to church. Last week, some outfits caught my attention, but one really stood out because the person wore really tight trousers. The pant line was so pronounced, and she was standing in the middle row.
Try to avoid wearing anything see-through or too short, like above the knee. It's probably a good idea to skip outfits that might seem disrespectful in a place like church. Clothing like low-cut or backless dresses, tank tops, or anything that shows your stomach or goes above your knee aren’t the best choices for church. You can still look cute and stylish while keeping it modest!
The church is a place for everyone to worship, but it is also a place where we should respect and honor God in the right way. It made me wonder why some people feel so comfortable wearing clothing that exposes their sensitive body parts to church. I guess I might never know.
Now, I’m always excited to share my outfit with you all, and today I’m featuring another classy look by Uoozee Fashion. This two-piece batwing sleeve set is perfect for work and formal events. It fits perfectly, and I love the length of the flare pants. I styled this outfit in two different ways—flowing or tucked in. Did I mention the quality of the material is great? I'm not sure I would usually go for this style, but I’m really happy with the choice.
Initially, I wanted to wear black heels, but I changed my mind and went with these turquoise blue pumps by River Island. You can agree with me that it was the perfect choice.

There are a few trends that I’m really investing in this summer, like cowboy hats, fitted tops, matching sets, and classy dresses, but I especially love this gorgeous shade of lime green high-waist pants and loose off-the-shoulder blouse! 💚 It’s such a fun, vibrant color. Lime green was not a color I thought would match me, but I might be wrong, because this two-piece from Uoozee.com is proving otherwise.
Lime green is not the easiest to pull off, in my opinion, and I didn't expect the camel-colored cowboy hat to match so well. I was not sure about the shoe color, so I went online to browse for lime green outfit ideas, and that's how I went with white.
With its lightweight polyester fabric, this two-piece set is the perfect choice for a summer vacation on the beach and gatherings. There’s so many ways you can style this set depending on the vibe or situation, but I really wanted to play safe, so I paired the set with my white cover heels I bought from Temu.

What do you think about my lime green outfit?

Have you ever been to a cooking or baking show, or maybe even had the chance to judge one? Whether you have or haven’t, I’ve got a question for you.
I was watching the Blue Ribbon Baking Championship on Netflix last night, and while I was impressed by the skill and creativity on display—those desserts and cakes were works of art—I noticed something interesting. One of the female judges seemed to absolutely love moist cakes, another judge was all about the taste, regardless of how things looked, and there was a third judge who tried to balance it all out.
When it comes to judging a cooking or baking competition, there are so many factors at play. Think about it: our upbringing, cultural background, personal taste, and even what we grew up eating all come into play. We tend to fall back on what we know best. So, when judges critique a dish, they’re not just evaluating it in a vacuum—they’re bringing all of these personal experiences and preferences into the mix.
It got me thinking: is there really a definitive “best” cook or baker in these competitions? It seems like it really depends on what each judge prefers. For instance, I’m not a fan of moist cakes, so if I were a judge, I probably wouldn’t score them highly. It’s kind of like how some people like their bacon crispy, while others prefer it a bit burnt.
So, does winning a cooking competition really come down to what the judges or taste testers like? Like, if their taste preferences match what you’ve made, does that give you an edge? Yes, it does. It seems like you’d be in a better spot if their palates are into what you’re serving!
Also, don't forget that how full or hungry you are can totally affect how good the food tastes! If you're starving, even a simple dish can seem amazing, while if you're already stuffed, it might not seem as impressive.
So here’s my big question: In a cooking or baking competition, is there truly a best cook or baker, or is it more about which contestant aligns with the judges’ personal preferences? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

I’m bubbling with joy as I write this, and I can’t wait to share why! 😊
Let me start by saying I’m absolutely head over heels in love with nature—especially on those glorious sunny days when everything seems to sparkle with happiness. Being surrounded by trees and greenery just makes my heart sing! This Scottish summer, with its crisp, cool air, was a dream come true, and I’m so grateful to have spent it exploring with my special someone.
When we decided to venture out and discover more of Scotland, I took on the role of finding charming spots, and boy, did we hit the jackpot with Loch Lomond!
Dengue fever, a mosquito-borne illness, is on the rise in the US. Here’s a quick guide on what dengue is and how you can protect yourself:
Mosquitoes are way more than just an annoying buzz in the summer. They can actually carry some pretty serious diseases, like West Nile virus, malaria, and Zika. Recently, there's been a strange increase in dengue fever cases in the US, which is a bit concerning.
So, what’s dengue and where is it showing up in the US? Dengue is caused by one of four related viruses, and not everyone who gets it will feel sick. If you do get symptoms, it usually feels like the flu and starts a few days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. If you have a fever and any of these symptoms—headaches, joint or muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, or a rash—it's a good idea to see a doctor, especially if you’ve been in an area where dengue is common.
Severe cases of dengue can be serious, leading to symptoms like low blood pressure, bleeding, stomach swelling, or extreme fatigue. These need immediate medical attention, and often require hospital care. But don’t worry too much—deaths from dengue in the US are rare.
Dengue isn’t spread directly from person to person; it’s spread through mosquitoes that have bitten someone already infected. So, if someone travels from a high-risk area with dengue and then gets bitten by a mosquito in the US, that mosquito can spread the virus further.
In the US, dengue cases are mostly reported in places like Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and the US Virgin Islands, and in states like Florida, New York, Massachusetts, and California. While there’s been an increase, it’s still not as widespread as in other parts of the world.
