Gift Guide: Saje Holiday 2022

I was introduced to Saje last year when my cousin Sammy got me one of their diffusers as a Christmas gift. After that, I found myself continuing to visit their site – walking away with their mint halo (which is SO wonderful to relieve stress) and their hand soaps that smell so amazing! From the packaging, to the quality of their products, they truly make…

Giving Back With Amazon This Holiday Season

This post is sponsored by Amazon, however all thoughts and opinions are my own. If there’s anything that 2020 has taught me, it’s to slow down, be GRATEFUL for everything, even the simplest of things, and give back as often and as much as possible. In the past I’ve done weekly giveaways for my online community and I’ve partnered with brands to pull together giveaways…

Cute Fox Mugs & Home Decor For Fall

One of my favorite decor motif’s in the Fall are things with foxes on them. If you asked me WHY, I would say NO IDEA other than that they are cute and orange, and also because I designed Hudson’s nursery around them. But to be honest, I have no personal connection to the fox itself, and I have never seen one in person! But I…

Personal: On Aging As A Blogger

When I was 22 I picked up a camera and a tripod, and started this blog. I was young, fresh-faced and barely wore makeup. Heck, I didn’t even know what foundation was! Noticing little things on my face was not something I did at 22. Would I notice if my shirt wasn’t tucked in cute? Yes. Would I notice if my bangs blew apart mid…
