#fbf Snowy Tree
I wrote yesterday about how I’m hoping for at least one snow day before winter’s over. It’s been an unusually quiet winter and while winters that have constant snow storms gets annoying and tiring, it’s also so weird to not have any snow! We had snow twice I think this season but both times it was very little and pretty much gone the next day. I just need a dose of winter prettiness and not just cold, bleak winter days. And a snow day from work wouldn’t hurt either! So for my Flashback Friday, I’m throwing it back to 2 years ago when we had a snow storm and the…

Cozy Day Items
This winter has been so weird. We haven’t had any real snow! My friend at work and I have been talking lately about how we’re really wishing for a snow day at least once before spring arrives. I know many of you are already in the mood for spring, but I really need a snow day right about now! There doesn’t seem to be any snow in the forecast, but it’d be nice if it happens before spring arrives. In the hopes of a snow day this winter and because I was home sick last week with the flu, I thought I would put together a small list of cozy…

What techniques do they use? Here we’re going to take a look at some of their tried-and-tested approaches so that you can apply them to your home. Steam Cleaning Carpets And Rugs The vast majority of people don’t look after their carpets in the way that vendors recommend, vacuuming them every forty-eight hours to ensure that no dust whatsoever gets into the carpet fibers. But even if you’re one of those people who diligently follow the…

Animal Print Faux Fur Sweatshirt
Back in January, I shared a mauve pink faux fur sweatshirt. Super soft and cozy, but not too heavy or hot because the inside isn’t fuzzy, which could be good or bad depending on your preference. I don’t mind either way, although on a cold day it would be nice to have the fuzziness on the inside too. Anyway, when I bought that one, I also bought it in this animal print. So fun and just as soft! Sweatshirt: Target (here) | Leggings: J.Crew | Boots: UGG (here) I paired this cozy animal print sweatshirt with black leggings and classic black UGGs. An easy weekend look that took me from…

Book Review: Real Life
Real Life by Adeline Dieudonné was originally written in French and has just recently been translated in to English for a new release. When I first started reading the novel, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it quickly gripped me and had me hooked to find out what would happen to the young narrator. The narrator, a young girl who we never learn the name of, lives with her mother, father, and younger brother. Her mother is quiet and unassuming – she describes her as an “amoeba” who is just sort of there. Why? Because her father is abrasive, abusive, and could be set off in to a violent rage…

Taking Care of Your Feet
Photo Source Most of us consider our health and wellbeing on a day to day basis. We know that we need to eat a healthy, balanced diet to give our bodies the energy and nutrients they need to keep us in good shape. We aim to exercise sufficiently, to build muscle, strength and stamina and to maintain good cardiovascular health, balance, flexibility and more. But as well as the bigger picture, we also need to focus on more specific parts of our body to ensure that everything is working as it should be. One part of many of our bodies that gets relatively neglected is our feet. Our feet are…

Stars on Stars
Back to work after a 3-day weekend. It’s always tough after an extra day off. Last week I was ready to get back to work after being home with the flu. Now, I wish I had another day off! Star prints have long been one of my favorite prints. Over the weekend I wanted to wear my grey jogger style overalls with white star print. When I was figuring out what top to wear underneath, I decided to continue with the star print and wear a navy blue top with white stars. Stars on stars! Too many stars or not enough? When I wore these overalls on here last year,…

Fair Isle Sweater + Beanie
I have the day off for President’s Day today and when this post goes live I’ll hopefully still be sleeping. I’m looking forward to not waking up to an alarm today. Both days this weekend I had things going on that required me to be up at a certain time. And although I had 2 sick days last week where I didn’t have to get up for work, I was sick with the flu so I wouldn’t exactly say having a fever for 4 days gave me much rest. But anyway, I’m off and it’s supposed to be a pretty gorgeous day. Sunny and 50! That’s a far cry from…
