Hello again and happy Tuesday! I'm so excited about last night I'm just going to jump right in today! I love movies. All kinds, all genres, all styles, all seasons. And anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE classic films like Singin' in the Rain and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Last night I decided to watch West Side Story. Ever since I became interested in classic films about eight years ago, I've wanted to cross this beautiful and tragic musical off my list, and I am so glad I

I have been dying to share my story about how we handle finances in our household, but I've been pretty nervous of what people might think. For many couples, money is a taboo topic that either gets overlooked completely or causes serious drama in a relationship. But I want to bring this topic to the table and discuss the positive side effects of combining our finances. Ever since my boyfriend and I met about 6.5 years, we've always done our finances together. For many, this i

Oh my gosh – I just HAVE to tell ya'll about my new obsession with pom-poms and tassels! Pom-poms are trending everywhere lately and I want to show you some of the most fun ways people are using them. Pom-poms (and tassels) have been around practically my entire life, but it wasn't until recently that I began to see them used in fun and interesting ways. They are popping up ALL over the place, across many industries - home decor, fashion, jewelry, and children's clothing and

I tend to be a bit sporadic in my tastes, and they change from year to year (or season to season; I spend the entire months of November and December listening to Christmas music!). However, my love and obsession with vintage music, specifically big band and swing music, is no secret. I started listening to the genre about eight years ago. I was going though a tough

Yep, you read that right! I want to create affordable home decor, specifically printable art designs. I will also start freelancing my graphic design on the side, offering website design, branding services, and social media management. I have come to this decision with no shortage of research. I have spent a ton of time deciding what exactly I was going to offer, what channels I will advertise through, how successful I can really be as a one person business, and whether or no

So I'm not sure about you, but college changed my opinions about my drink preferences. First, I started out like most college students who just turned 21 - mixed drinks and shots. Then I met my boyfriend and his beer pong playing friends and it was all downhill from there! I've been drinking beer ever since... As I near the ripe 'ol age of 30, I am searching for a drink that feels a bit more - er classy? I'm tired of going to restaurants or fancier bars and ordering cheap bee

Today I want to talk about a subject that is near to my heart; my relationship with the most wonderful man in the world - my boyfriend. We have been together a total of SEVEN years and some change. For most people that's a super long time, but for us, it feels just right. We didn't need all that time to figure out where it was going, but it doesn't feel like time has passed by so slowly! We have had so much fun along the way. I have heard from many a family member and from mo

In response to the man cave trend, women are trying to cultivate a space all to themselves as well. Have you heard about these new adorable options? They're calling it a "she-shed" and I'm OBSESSED with them! Taking a vacation is as easy as a trip to the backyard where you can escape the daily grind with a hideout all to yourself!
