Those who know me know that my nickname is 'Human Napkin' because I am ALWAYS covered in stains. Hey, I like to eat and I'm clumsy, and that has it's price. I'm a big fan of the bronzer during winter as well which means that my shirts ALWAYS have a ring of makeup around the collar. Yeah, I know, I'm a mess.
Luckily, there are some excellent hacks out there for those of us who have some...

Aside from presents, my favourite thing about the holiday season is entertaining. I love bringing people together, having a laugh or two and sharing a fabulous meal. A few years ago, we hosted an awesome cookie exchange party. This year, I'm feeling a little grown up and I think a retro dinner party is in order.
Part of what makes the perfect dinner party is having the perfect table...
I have a friend who lives in Europe and one day while we were chatting, she casually mentioned Zara Home and I was like, "wait a sec, rewind and go back to Zara whatnow?". Apparently, Zara Home is a thing and being in Canada, I was not informed. Bummer.
Fast forward a couple of months and I received some MAJOR news. Zara Home was coming to Canada! Rejoice! They recently opened their first two...
As my desk makeover last spring proved, what your work space looks like can totally affect your mood and productivity. Staring at boring blank walls is not only a downer, but life and creativity can lift your spirits and prevent writer's block! With September right around the corner (i.e. the start of the new school year), I thought it was only right to round up some of the cutest desk...

Because they are where you will end up spending many hours every night, I think your bed should be decked out with everything you love.
How do you surround yourself? I put together a few...

And I'm not alone: I've been noticing how many babies' lives are chronicled almost exclusively via Facebook posts like "Guess how many undershirts Billy went through today?" or "Jenna just made #2 on the potty for the first time! [insert poopy pic]" (It's T.M.I., people, and yes, I...

Perhaps I should do a major purge and cleanse sometime in the near future, but for now, here's my dirty little secret: I love my stuffs. I don't really want to get rid of any of it.
