About A California Fashion Blogger

Welcome to CCG

Hi, I’m April, a California fashion blogger and the editor of Champagne Colored Glasses which serves as an outlet for creativity and inspiration. A word play on rose-colored glasses, this daily blog focuses on fashion and beauty as well as home and travel. My goal is to empower and give confidence to the every day woman while looking through a pair of champagne colored glasses.
I currently reside in the Bay Area of California with my husband, Neil, and our four adorable children. When I am not chasing after them, I spend my time teaching ballet at my studio, enjoying the occasional date night with the hubby, and doing some serious online shopping while sipping my fav champagne. Blogging has become a new passion of mine and I hope that the love and enjoyment shows through with each post I write. What started out as an online diary to vent my anxiety and frustrations in Scolimom, made me quickly realized how much I loved writing and helping people. CCG, although different, carries the same theme of a woman finding her voice and being comfortable in her own skin. I genuinely hope you find this site entertaining and relatable and sometimes even humorous.
Enjoy!

This past weekend it snowed here in the foothills and now today it’s going to be 80…. Today will be spent gardening. I’ve noticed that when I’m in the yard planting flowers in my flower box and spend time out there, it really makes me happy and relaxes me. What’s something you do that makes you happy?

SAVE AND SHARE THIS TIP! Want your fresh #hydrangeas to last longer? I have the perfect tip for you! You can repeat this tip multiple times on the same bouquet to get maximum use out of your fresh blooms! Simply, cut a small portion off the bottom of the stem, dip in ALUM (found in the spice section of the grocery store) and stick in cold water. I promise you, this trick works. If you are a hydrangea nut like me, and hate spending so much on flowers, then try this out and let me know! #hydrangea #homehack #hydrangealove

Finally felt well enough to clean my closet (it had been a disaster since Christmas). I also organized my clothes and will be putting a ton of it up on Poshmark and in my stories this weekend. Stay tuned….
