The idea of working in your pajamas may have seemed fun at first, but after a while, your personal fashion sense withers to nothing more than oversized sweatpants, fuzzy slippers, and a robe. Though you don’t have to sit in front of the computer with a fac

Behind the Legging Design – I Love Philly

By Jennifer Schultz

Each of the custom leggings I create has a story. So, I am taking you back to my first design I ever created. I was born in Philadelphia at JFK Hospital, but, ended up living in the suburbs of Bucks County. I visited Philadelphia several times with family to see events like, the Barnum & Bailey Circus, with school for a history class trip, and mostly to see my grandmother in the summers who lived on “C” street in Olney. I played with my friends in the alley, walked to the Five and Dime to shop, and frequented the corner store for candy. We sat on the porch every night and just chatted with neighbors on their stoop.

When I was 18, I moved to Philadelphia and lived on my own in an apartment. I took Septa to work, enjoyed buying pretzels from the guy who stood in the road and loved going to Pat’s Steaks for cheesesteaks. I rooted for all our sports teams and still get chills when I watch Rocky. My grandfather was a huge Mummers fan and it was THE show to watch on New Year’s Day.

And the most important thing is, that I met my husband while I lived in Philadelphia. We bought our first home there, went on many dates to local restaurants and pool halls, and we welcomed the birth of my daughter there too. We moved out of Philadelphia and back to Bucks County when my daughter was seven. 

I loved Philadelphia. I was certain many other people did too. So, I sat down and wrote out some ideas for icons that should be on leggings that celebrated Philadelphia. History: The Liberty Bell and Declaration of Independence. Food: Cheesesteaks and pretzels. Iconic: Love Statue replica. I added simple messages of loving Philly. All the memories I created in Philadelphia, fueled my passion for the design and continue to be how I approach future creations.

Since launching my design in 2017, there have been other companies that have copied my design.

But I am not sure that they are a Philly Girl at Heart, like I am.

These Braids Help You Create Enchanting Hairstyles

By Jennifer Schultz for Apple Girl Boutique

This is a sponsored post. I was gifted a braid from Madison Braids. All opinions are my own. 

I recently was searching for easy hairstyles on the internet, because I love wearing my hair different ways, up, down, half up, in a ponytail, in a French twist, and when I have time, braided. 

I've always loved braids and how pretty they look - so much so, that I wore my hair in an upside down French braid for my senior prom, with a poof of curls on top of my head! Believe me, that took a while to do. One of the challenges I have always had, is no matter how long my hair is - it's baby thin. I can definitely get volume out of my hair if I have time, and lots and lots of hairspray. LOL. However, if I am going to braid my hair, that volume is reduced because of needing hair to devote to whatever style I am looking to do. 

During my search, I stumbled across a company called Madison Braids. Naturally, I was immediately attracted to all of the gorgeous braided hairstyles that I was seeing, which were actually braided headbands! What? Yes, braided headbands that look like real hair!! And, there were so many color variations, that I reached out to them to be sure which color I should order. It was simple, I sent my photo over chat and I had my recommendation. 

Another thing that really made it an easy choice for me to want to try one of their braided headbands, was the fact that Madison Braids is owned and operated by a stay-at-home mom and her husband. Their story mirrored my own and I love supporting small businesses. 

I was so excited, and had my braid in just days! I immediately opened the package and tried it on to see if it matched my hair color, and it did! I could not believe how much it looked like real hair, how soft and silky it was and such great quality. They say their headbands are all hand-made and it shows! All of them have an adjustable strap, so it will fit adult or children's head sizes. 

I spent some time trying a few different hair styles and can't wait to come up with new ones as well. I was thinking to myself, "where was this braided headband when I went to prom?". There are endless looks you could create for mommy and me photo shoots, weddings, proms, you name it! They are so versatile and just create such a sweet hairstyle whether you just put in on after being at the beach for the day, or creating a romantic "date night" look.

Madison Braids also has gorgeous hair accessories ranging from wrapped headbands to beaded barrettes and from scrunchies to decorated hair clips. 

The braided headbands are just so beautiful and you don't have to spend time learning how to braid if you don't know how - just grab a braid and put it on! Simple. Beautiful. Fashionable. Trendy. Stylish. 

If you would like to fall in love with Madison Braids yourself, you can use a special promo code: AGB20 on their website that will allow you to get 20% off your order. Make sure you let them know Apple Girl Boutique sent you!

Shop Small at the Mall Event Coming to Neshaminy Mall

Warminster, PA 

Love supporting local small businesses? You don’t want to miss the Shop Small at the Mall event coming to the Neshaminy Mall on Friday, May 17th from 5-8pm. The shopping event was put together by Jennifer Schultz of Apple Girl Boutique, to shine focus on women who operate small businesses in Bucks County, mostly from home.

“Many women support their families by working independently or through direct sales companies, all from the comfort of their home, home based parties and social media,” says Jennifer. “However, being able to introduce their business to others in a community setting like the mall, will hopefully allow their businesses to have more opportunities to be seen and grow. “

The event will feature womens and girls’ clothing from Apple Girl Boutique, essential oils from Young Living, lifestyle bags by ThirtyOne, jewelry from Paparazzi, the latest trend in nails from Color Street, hair care from Monat, ways to boost your intimate relationships from Pure Romance and skin care and makeup from BeautyCounter. Schultz expects more small businesses to join by next week’s event.

The Shop Small at the Mall event will take place in Center Court, adjacent to the food court at Neshaminy Mall in Bensalem.

You can get more information and follow updates to the Shop Small at the Mall event on Apple Girl Boutique’s Facebook Event Page. https://www.facebook.com/events/293102841634116/

Businesses interested in participating can call Jennifer Schultz at 267-981-5976 or email applegirlboutique@gmail.com
