If you’ve ever owned a pet, you know how much personality can be packed into such a compact package. It doesn’t matter if you have a large dog or a tiny cat, it’s all the same. Our pets are important to us. We care for them and love them because they’re a part of the family. We take them on adventures and care for them if they get ill. How could we not want to document all the times we…
It’s no secret that I love Lush. Every time I try and break away to find a new (and cheaper) brand, I always return. There’s something about the products that keeps me returning. Now that I’ve had plenty of time to see what works (and what doesn’t) I have my staple products. The weather here has made me change up my skin routine over and over again but at least with Lush, there’s some consistency in what I buy. So…
We’ve all seen them. Articles and posts about making a cake that comes out looking like heaven on a platter. It feels so good to picture ourselves creating such a masterpiece and enjoying it still warm from the oven. But how often do we commit to making them? Usually never, am I right? Baking usually requires a reason. I like baking cookies because I’m craving something from home. I can’t buy sugar cookies here. I make them instead. My Dutch…
I don’t buy as much nail polish as I used to. There aren’t many things that really get me excited when it comes to nails. However, when I saw the new Professional plates by MoYou, my heart leapt out of my chest. While stamping plates are not new to the nail scene, I really felt these patterns speaking to me and jumped at the chance to get them. What is a nail polish plate? It’s an easy way to create…
Another February has come and even though I’m a little late, here is my to do list! It’s pretty simple this time around but I have some fun things I’d like to do! Find a cake to make – Valentine’s Day is coming and I’ve been severely missing the Cold Stone Valentine special cakes. To help make up for it, I’d like to try my hand at making my own ice cream cake! Store flavors are pretty limited here so…
The lights dim and the intimate crowd of about 100 people begin to scream. Figures creep onstage amid ultra violet lights and swirling fog. There is silence for a moment before the room vibrates with the low mumblings of a bass guitar. And then we are standing in an earthquake contained within the walls of our hall. This is what we came for, to listen to Pale Waves. I discovered Pales Waves off of a Youtube recommendation (who would have…
Spring is still a little ways off but it’s never to early to get a head start. Aside from deciding on what exciting things can be done once the weather is warmer, here’s a list of other things to consider! Get yourself organized We recently purchased a new wardrobe for our bedroom. We seriously needed it as the smaller one was perfect for Sander alone. Now we have more than enough room for all of our clothing and more! This…
Let’s face it, we all live and breath with a cell phone in at least one hand. I have friends who even have two. However, the number one feature used and shared is the camera. We document everything in life via the tiny lens built into our phones. I thought it would be fun to share a few photos that I have stored on mine and a little bit of info on how you can take similar shots. These were…
I think that even though I don’t act like it, I’m very much a Californian girl. Our current home isn’t comfy enough until I’ve turned up the heat to 32°C (which is about 89.6°F). I’ve been dreaming about wearing shorts again. And of course the strange and delicious foods of America makes me long for home. I was so excited to see that my mom had prepared a small care package for me that was filled with my favorite treats.…
