Today I continue my ode to all things fig by featuring my favorite fig-scented beauty and home products! I’m a huge fan of this pretty scent; it’s fruity, green, earthy, and all-around beautiful. It always feels a bit elevated to me compared to most fruity fragrances. As I was planning this post, I realized I … Read More
Happy mid-December! We’re officially at the weekend before Christmas! 😲 If you celebrate, how’re you doing? Are you ready?? Because I am decidedly NOT there yet 😂 My husband and I will be among the masses frantically purchasing last-minute gifts this weekend and I can tell you, my anxiety about the crowds is already dialed … Read More
No sooner has the Jack-o-Lantern’s candle been extinguished than it seems to be fair game to start up with the holiday planning, shopping, and decorating! I enjoy taking each season as it comes so while I don’t want to skip over the enjoyment of Thanksgiving, I’m also cognizant that many folks like to start their … Read More
Guys, we’re so close to fall, I can already taste the pumpkin spice! Er, literally. I’ve already enjoyed several pumpkin spice k-cups and Elysian pumpkin ales 😁 Call me basic if you will, but I unapologetically love my pumpkin spice and look forward to it every year. As far as I’m concerned, it’s one of … Read More
Today, I’d love to share our main floor bathroom restoration/refresh with you. Two years ago, my husband and I purchased what we envisioned to eventually be our dream home. We love old houses and had always dreamed of eventually finding one we could restore. Of course, this wasn’t going to happen the quick or easy … Read More
Happy Friday! This week we’re unloading the boxes full of my husband Scott’s childhood memories for some gaming goodness! We were both just little munchkins when Atari first came out and it was love at first Asteroid! I fondly remember watching my older brothers show off their impressive Space Invader skills. And being taught by … Read More
Ok so we’ve got a ‘part two, volume two,’ haha! As I was pulling together my previous article on corralling dresser-top clutter, I realized I had plenty of material, in fact, enough to create an entirely separate post about beauty items alone! You already know about my obsession with perfume and all things scented; today … Read More
The decluttering continues! As a girl who loves pretty things, those pretty things can add up quickly and cause quite a bit of clutter, as you can probably imagine (and maybe even relate to?) While I definitely should be a bit more diligent about staying on top of editing things out before bringing more things … Read More
With spring swiftly approaching, I am so here for some decluttering! It’s time to get rid of the things I don’t need anymore and reorganize the things I do need (or want) to keep. Many of us have learned to ‘spark joy’ à la Marie Kondo or have rainbow-coded everything from our books to the … Read More
As the calendar switches over to March, I’m sure I’m not the only one looking forward to the promise of warmer, brighter days to come. And, of course, the pandemic only amplifies that cabin fever feeling many (most? all?) of us have been experiencing. Since, in my neck of the woods, I’m probably still a … Read More
