With thousands upon thousands of blogs out in the World Wide Web, how’s a girl to weed through to find the ones worth reading & following? Even the most level headed of girls can get exhausted just thinking about it! Thankfully you’ve found your way here to The Sassy Steel Magnolia, and I want to make sure you find your way to a few others as well.

This week’s Mah-velous Magnolia badge goes to two fabulously wonderful Web sites I have been fortunate enough to stumble upon.

The first site I discovered being included in what’s called a Follow Friday tweet on twitter.  I adore the word Charmed so immediately followed and went straight to her site to scope things out.  Needless to say, I was more than delighted with what I found and have passed her site and posts on to numerous people.  Do yourself a favor and subscribe to Live the Charmed Life – you’ll be quite happy you did.

The Charmed Life is an attitude. It’s a way of living today as if it’s the only day. It’s taking delight in the life you have, and viewing the world with constant amazement. It’s also being where you are, who you are and embracing the experience. It’s being appreciative, and content with what is. – DeeAnne White, Founder and Creator of Live the Charmed Life

The next Web site I actually discovered via a tweet from Live the Charmed Life, recommending to follow her. Again, I have a special sweet spot for the word Luxurious so taking a few minutes to see what it was all about was a temptation I was happy to oblige.  As soon  as you hit the landing page, luxury and elegance fills your screen through well chosen images and thought provoking posts.  I easily spent hours last night going through post after post finding greater inspiration with every click of the mouse. Your reader will not be complete until you’ve subscribed to The Simply Luxurious Life – trust me.

Luxury is always in our proximity if only we know where to look, regardless of where we might be living. Whether it be found in wine, food, fashion, home decor, gardening, or entertainment, contentment and pleasure can be found. Here’s to the good life! – Shannon Ables, Founder and Creator of The Simply Luxurious Life
