Welcome to LifeLaurels

Bringing you the Best of Life: Pop Culture, Things We Like, Frugal Finds, Random Musings, Product Reviews, Movies and TV, and Words to Live By.

Welcome to our site! LifeLaurels is a lifestyle blog that aims to bring you the BEST of Life. We share all sorts of good finds, in the area of entertainment, pop culture, and living your best life. We'll write about stuff we watch, stuff we buy, stuff we covet, and stuff we enjoy. If it deserves Laurels, we'll talk about it here.

A laurel is a type of evergreen plant that was traditionally used to weave wreaths and crowns that were symbols of victory in Ancient Greece. Today, laurel is synonymous with achievement, and is used to denote honor or distinction. It is also the first name of this site's founder. Thus, instead of using stars, we rate in terms of laurels, with 5 laurels indicating something is fantastic, and one laurel meaning we did not like it so much.

We also have a Facebook Page where we share a LOT of motivating words and fun memes. And because everyone loves winning, we'll share links to contests and sweepstakes, where you can win fun prizes.

To find individual posts, please search the sidebar. Searching by "tags" can help you find what you seek. We also have various types of content sorted and linked on pages within this site. Use the nav bars to reach these pages.

Welcome to our virtual world, and thank you for coming! We hope you will enjoy your stay and come back frequently. You can use the contact form in the footer to reach out to us or offer feedback.

I still like to use Screen Savers on my PCs. For years, I have used "the clock" Screen Saver on my own PC. But I decided I wanted something a little more inspirational.  So I created a few screen savers from LifeLaurels' series of Inspirational Quotes. 

We have 4 different Screen Savers available for download. Each comes in a zip file, containing the screen saver file (a .scr file,) as well as a PDF with instructions on how to install it.

Quotes Honoring Juneteenth

 

Juneteenth Quotes


Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Juneteenth marks the anniversary announcement of General Order No. 3 by Union Army general Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for enslaved people in Texas.



"The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and free laborer. The freedmen are advised to remain quietly at their present homes and work for wages. They are informed that they will not be allowed to collect at military posts and that they will not be supported in idleness either there or elsewhere."
