2021 Gift Guide: Gift Ideas For Him

Perfect gift ideas for all the men in your life!  I don't know about you, but every year I find it harder and harder to shop for the men in my life.  It seems like they already have everything they want and there's nothing they really need.  This can make picking out thoughtful gifts a little tricky.  This year, I thought about what I personally own, what I've given as gifts and what gifts we've received that others may also enjoy.   I included items from various price points and tried to pick items that represent many different hobbies and interests. ...

The Best Realistic Winter Greenery

Deck the halls this holiday season with the best realistic garlands, picks, trees and wreaths!  Yes, it's that time of year again.  It's officially November, which means if you haven't already bought the new holiday decor you've been eyeing then you should definitely think about purchasing it sooner rather than later.  Holiday decor tends to sell out early, especially this year, so it's more important than ever to shop early. Store shelves are already sparse, quantities are very limited and if you want first dibs on new inventory then you better shop early. I already ordered more winter greenery and wanted to share my favorite winter garlands, picks, trees and wreaths in case you wanted to snag a few for yourself too! ...

Let's Go Shopping: Walmart Gifts For The Home

Affordable and stylish Walmart gifts for your home! This post is sponsored by Walmart   I've never been a girly girl. I grew up with an older brother and a neighborhood full of boys.  I played sports, rode bikes and wasn't afraid of getting dirty.   Fashion was never a top priority for me (hello, leggings and hoodies!) and I've always preferred to buy things for my home than for myself.  My home is where I spend most of my time and I want it to be a place I love and enjoy. So when it comes to holiday gifts, I often request and would prefer to receive something for my home than a new sweater or pair of earrings.  ...

Trash to Treasure: DIY Textured Paint and Baking Soda Vase

Create the look of authentic clay vases using paint, baking soda and coarse salt!  Yesterday, while out thrifting, I picked up a ceramic vase that had the perfect shape for a quick DIY update. In the past, I've made plastic vases look like concrete  and Dollar Tree vases look like Hobnail milk glass , but this vase instantly reminded me of the beautiful and popular, yet crazy expensive vintage clay pottery vases.  Turning old dated vases into stylish faux clay pots is nothing new (just do a quick Google or Pinterest search).  There are many variations of this technique and each pot and vase is unique and turns out differently. I love sharing affordable DIY projects and filling my home with unique vintage finds, so it only made sense that I share my version of the DIY textured paint and baking soda technique. ...
