I noticed this morning, as I reached for my tinted moisturizer instead of regular foundation, that Summer was fast upon us and my beauty routine was already feeling the need to make the transition. Once the weather begins to warm up, I do find myself automatically wanting to shed some layers and simplify my beauty […]
On the way home from Palm Springs, we stopped by my parent’s house for my nephew’s 9th birthday party. My parents still live in the same home they moved to when I was 10, in the same town I grew up in. Because we were coming from a different direction than usual, we got off […]
Hi there friends. It’s Friday and I’m running around, trying to get ready for Memorial Day weekend, but I wanted to pop in and say hi. How are you? Have any fun plans for the weekend? Well in case you’re looking for a craft or are hosting a BBQ this weekend, I thought I’d share […]
My friend Shelly, of Van Rozeboom Interiors, makes the most amazing orchid centerpieces. Exactly like the ones you find at high end florist shops, that retail for well over $100. Using orchids as her focus, she fills large and unique vessels with all types of plants ranging from succulents, to ferns, to create bold and […]

While I would define myself and this blog as a style blog, I find it interesting that very few of my pins are actually “style” related. Sometimes all the pretty young faces and designer clothes pinned on Pinterest, more resembles a fashion magazine than actual attainable and realistic inspiration. But I do love Pinterest and […]
Although I may be “crafty”, my natural inclination when it comes to trying anything remotely artistic is to always assume I’ll be lousy at it. After trying watercolor last week, my husband came home to find my orchid and the first thing he asked was “where did you get that from?” I tried not to […]
I’ve been holding onto these beads for months now, almost a year to be exact. I purchased them on this trip to the flea market when I was still pregnant with Hayden and have played around with them off and on a few times now, not quite getting the design or configuration to my liking. […]
