I'm back with my yearly round up of most loved/used products of the year. I love writing this post because it helps me really evaluate the things I use and value the most. It is something I keep in mind all year when it comes to new purchases or replacing other items. There are certain … Continue reading Favorite Products of 2020
I wasn't sure whether or not I wanted to share any gift guides this year. This time of year everyone is sharing them and while I love reading gift guides for ideas some times I think it can be a bit of overload. I also don't want to put pressure on anyone to spend money … Continue reading Shop Small Gift Guide

When the start of social distancing rolled around in March I decided I needed to make the most of my time at home.
