Striped Pompom Beanie
I love pompoms on beanies because they’re so fun and they add that finishing touch. Beanies without pompoms are cute too, of course, but the pompom really does make beanies so much cuter! For Christmas I put a few items on my wishlist for Secret Santa and my Secret Santa gave me the two things I wanted the most: A striped beanie with a pompom and Michelle Obama’s book Becoming which I wrote about (here). If you couldn’t already guess, this post is about the striped beanie with the pompom. I actually asked for this exact one, but it was more of a guideline – like “I’d like a striped beanie…

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…

Acorn Squash Tempura
It’s finally the weekend after what felt like the longest week ever. I had all these plans to get stuff done last night but I was just so drained that I did about half of what I was supposed to do and went out to dinner with a friend instead. Everything else will get done eventually this weekend. When I went out to dinner with my friend last night, we went for sushi because I was in the mood for it. It’s been a while since I’d gone to get sushi! I normally get a mix of appetizers like seaweed salad and edamame and then other treats like sushi and…

Hallmark Movies for Valentine’s Day
As most of you know if you’ve been following me for a while, I love Hallmark movies. No matter how predictable they are, I truly enjoy watching them. Of course, some are much better than others. I shared some Christmas picks back in December that I love enough to watch multiple times. I thought today I’d share 5 Valentine themed Hallmark movies or just love story movies that aren’t necessarily Valentine but would still be good for the holiday. The two I’m sharing that aren’t Valentine specific are a few years old and so might not get as much attention or love as the newer ones so I wanted to…

#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…
