I was offered a exciting brand Collab with Baggu, backed by Benable! I am thrilled to show off this incredible brand. Baggu is the hottest place to go for reusable tote bags right now! Not only do they sell tote bags, they also have purses, keychains, and some other hosuehold goodies as well. Baggu often teams up with other brands and designers for limited drops of really unique and fun designs. Whenever I wear a Baggu bag out int the community, I am always stopped by people asking "Where Did You Get That!?" Well…BAGGU! Duh! and swiftly send them straight to my Benable account to shop.

Whether it's for a White Elephant, Secret Santa, or any other Christmas or Winter Holiday gifting parties, I will find you all of the funny, and quirky unique gifts that will make everyone erupt with laughter and curiosity. Maybe a few stocking stuffers for that one family member that is always popping jokes.

When your college kids come home for Christmas Break, they are craving all the comforts of home. Fill their stockings with all the goodies that will remind them of home. From sweets, to self care, and even nostalgic things to remind to slow down and enjoy their “childhood” before they grow up too fast. Christmas is for magic, bring it home for them this year by shopping this list.

Remember the childhood allure of the magical Christmas Advent Calendar? Mom would grab one of them from the grocery store, and on December 1st each year, you and your siblings would get so excited to find the first little paper door to open for that tasty little chocolate that was shaped like a stocking, a tree or a reindeer. Advent Calendars have come a long way since then, filled with beauty supplies, wine, crafting projects, you name it. Make sure to order yours now before they are gone, and to make sure it ships and delivers before December 1st!

Make your house the best Trick Or Treat stop on the block by shopping these ideas for candy, toys, snacks and drinks. We always buy a bunch of non-candy items as well, just to have some options.

Every June, the magical Maine lupine blooms in abundance. In various shades of purple and pink, it takes over numerous fields and hillsides across the state. Only blooming for a week or two, it’s crucial that I spent as much time with the flowers as possible. They literally become my entire personality.

The 1990's Whimsigoth aesthetic was one of my favorite fashion and home trends of the time, and frankly still love it! It blends gothic moody colors, with an ethereal celestial, bohemian and medieval feel, all together. Velvet, lace, bell sleeves, stars, moons, the sun. It was beautiful, and the music was incredible during this time.

My family and I eat what we call “Meal Salads” for dinner multiple times per week. I get so excited when I discover a new recipe to try. A salad can be as simple or as intricate as you want. Served in a beautiful bowl, with nice dishes, a crispy baguette and a chilled glass of wine. *Chefs kiss*

I have been in love with photography since I received my first camera at the age of 4 years old. A Kodak 110 film with those ice cube flashers on the top. As a middle schooler, I remember having a talking Polaroid camera that would catch the funniest expressions of confusion from my friends. My family was one of the first families in the area to purchase a digital camera in the mid 90's, it took a floppy disk and only held about 18-20 images at a time. IN all of this, I have become the self-proclaimed “Family Archivist” I take photos of everything, and painstakingly oragnize them to be saved and cherished forever.

I have been working on writing a novel, for a few years now. A novel based on a recurring dream that I have had since I was a child. I have complied a list of resources that have given me inspiration to finally start to bring my dream to life. Writing is a multi-faceted skill, and I just absolutely love it. From poetry, to hand written letters. From blogs to novels. Let's start this journey together!

I absolutely love putting together puzzles in my spare time (when I actually have some) it’s relaxing and rewarding. Here is a collection of my favorites.

My daughter is entering her 3rd year in college at the end of this month. She started her college career in a “forced triple” really learning how to maximize organization space and share an extremely tight living arrangement with two strangers. Then lived in a 4 person suite, with a kitchen and bathroom, and then finally back to her own single normal style dorm room. So we have BEEN THROUGH IT with shopping for these various rooms. Let me help you find what you need to make dorm living so much more enjoyable.

Going away to school is hard on some kids, not having the creature comforts of home. Sometimes being stranded on campus without a car or public transportation.

I’m no beauty guru, and hardly wear makeup. But here’s my go to list of things I use daily to help me feel like my best self.

This past week the common cold/flu has hit my household. During my child's spring break from college, no doubt. It laid us all out pretty straight for a week. Here how we managed to stay warm, comfy, and healthy in the meantime.

Simply put? I don't get to go on actual vacations too often, I'm not in the tax bracket. But I have been to a few cool plces in the last couple years, as we toured colleges for my daughter. So, I will include those places in this list!

Getting out and getting active is so much more than hitting up a gym. Throw on a cute comfortable outfit, lace up your sneakers or hiking boots and enjoy your local community while the weather is still decent.
