Lost my fav sunnies ($75) a while back, so you can imagine my excitement when they showed up in a purse I haven't used in quite some time! Now I'm never letting them out of my site.
Just when I think I couldn't love the gold swivel barstools ($139 for 2) in the kitchen more, I'm reminded that they're the best -- and you all think so too!
The secret to my nightly skincare routine is using these wristbands ($8) to keep the water from running down my arms. No gatekeeping here!
Just bought this upholstered king bed frame ($329) for my parents! They've only ever had a queen before 🫣. Don't forget to click the extra $40 off coupon.
This nose hair trimmer ($17) might look a little scary & intimidating, but Chris has assured me that it's very effective and easy to use!
I've been wanting a pharmacy floor lamp ($129) for the study and couldn't pass up this one for such a great price. It reminds me of the tabletop lamp we have in the kitchen!
I loved these brown velvet club chairs ($2,699) in the study before, but now even more so, coupled with the new pharmacy lamp!

We label the boxes "garlands," "candles," "nativity sets,"...which seems great until you remember that you have […]
What do you make for Christmas dinner? Sometimes we'll do a prime rib or a roast turkey, but this year, I'm going all out with a Christmas ham that just looks festive. For this recipe, I made a cranberry-orange glaze with some warm winter spices that takes this ham to the next level. Oh and […]
Raise your hand if you panic when your phone's low battery notification turns on? (Just me??) There's nothing worse when I'm out on a fun holiday outing taking video memories of my family, and I see that red light. Or I'm traveling and stuck in the airport on a layover...it gives me anxiety! I've tried […]
I put out a call on Insta to see if anyone needed help with holiday hosting, and I had so many great replies. There were some questions that popped up multiple times too, so I compiled this Q&A to hopefully help you prep for a smooth and stress-free hosting season. It can feel intimidating to […]

We had that lamp in the 80s! I liked it then (although I don’t think it was chic), & of course love it now.
