Two weeks ago, I was off to the beach. And today I wanted to share a few highlights with you all! Let’s start with this gem. You know you’re in the South when you can wear the Confederate flag as a bathing suit. They take this flag pretty seriously, and, in fact, as soon as […]

If you ask me, 2014 went by pretty darn quickly! It feels like I blinked and even the Holiday season was gone. But here we are in lovely 2015, hoping it’ll bring us much happiness and personal growth. Going back through the pictures, I realized how many “firsts” I’ve had over the last year, such […]

It’s been ages since I’ve been to an actual craft fair, so I was pretty excited to go to two last weekend! So excited, even a little rain on Saturday couldn’t keep me away from the first one I attended. Ever since starting my own candle company where I hand make my candles, I have […]

Chicken Soup | Using Rotisserie Chicken

October 12, 2014.Reading time 5 minutes.

I remember getting this recipe from my mom sitting in a booth at a pizza shop, jotting down the ingredients on some scrap paper. It was my favorite soup she made and had the best comforting effects on a cold night. She did it mostly by feel (and I do a little of the same) […]

I remember going to this festival with my family as a kid once, and I remember it was such a new experience for us since we didn’t typically do Fall festivals back then. I believe that’s where I first tried apple cider, even! We made such warm memories of that time that I knew once […]

Fall Is Near, My Dear!

It’s been a while since I’ve taken notice in high fashion glossy magazines, but when these arrived, I couldn’t resist! Gold, Marron, and Orange M&M’s, and Candy corn for a Welcome Party I’ll be hosting soon! I love festive touches.

I’m back out on the front porch this evening sipping apple cider and enjoying the cooler weather while writing this post. Today has inspired me to share with the beauty girls out there some of my fall beauty items. Half of this I already had from last year and I’ve acquired just a few more […]
