Valentine’s Day Decor
I love writing my Chrismtas decor and Thanksgiving decor posts. I always find it really inspiring to look at other people’s creations. i thought I would do a Valentine’s decor post and round up some fun things I found on Pinterest. I love the fun look Valentine’s decorations have. Something about the holidays always makes me think of elementary school and passing out cards. I love the red and pink combo and the upbeat, loving, optimistic vibes it gives off. However, I don’t like when the decorations go overboard.Once, a few years ago, I went out for a galentine’s dinner with a friend and the place was decked out for…

#fbf Fresh Flowers
Happy Friday! TGIF for sure. So for today’s edition of #fbf – Flashback Friday – I’m not really sure if it counts as a flashback. Yes, I took this photo last weekend. But, the flowers are still in the vase on my kitchen table looking fresh. So I’m not sure if it counts or not, but oh well! Having fresh flowers in the house is a nice breath of fresh air this winter. I bought them because this past Tuesday was Chinese New Year and you’re supposed to have fresh flowers in the house for it. When I was at the grocery store over the weekend to buy my groceries…

Book Review: Rock Stars at Home
Remember MTV Cribs? Is that still on? Anyway, I remember watching when I was younger and getting a glimpse inside the homes of celebrities. The tour, usually given by the star themselves, showed their giant houses and almost always showed off some fancy pool out back. Sometimes the houses were super classy and sometimes they were really over the top or eccentric, but it was always interesting to see. Rock Stars at Home gives readers a glimpse inside the homes of famous rock stars like Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, Elvis, and others. I think rock stars always have the most eccentric homes! The book details these stars’ homes like Freddie Mercury’s…

People have been raving about diffusers and essential oils for years and I’ve just gotten my first one. Yes, I’m late to the party. It’s not that I was ever against them or anything like that – I just never got one, but I was always interested when people would gush about the benefits of them.

I got a set of popular essential oils – lavender, peppermint, and lemon and started it up! I’ve been using it…

American Home by Yankee Candle Fire Log
I, like many others, love the smell of a fire wood burning. Fireplaces are a love of mine and pretty much the only good thing about camping is a camp fire. Back in the early fall Pine Mountain reached out to me and asked if I wanted to try out their American Home by Yankee Candle Fire Logs in the scent “Fresh Balsam Fir”. I, of course, said yes and thought the logs would be so great in my new fireplace in my townhouse. Fast forward a few months and it’s finally cold enough to have the fireplace going. But, I decided not to light the logs in my own fireplace because…
