Really Good Blends Honey Balm

Thank you so much to Really Good Blends for sending me this balm to try! The Tallow & Honey Balm is an all-purpose moisturizer you can use just about anywhere. I'm loving it for my cuticles, my lips, and a few extra dry spots I have this winter. It's infused with lavender, which makes it an automatic favorite for me. I love anything lavender! 

A little goes a long way, and I can see myself using this all year long. It could not have arrived at a better time - my skin has been suffering with the weather. 


Bissell Power Shot Steam Cleaner

Have you tried a steam cleaner? I fell victim to Instagram cleaning videos, and talked myself into buying one. Truthfully though, I've been wanting to test one for awhile anyway. It's been a fun new toy to play with! I find myself looking for things to clean with it.

My ultimate review is that it's not the miracle worker that some of those videos portrayed it as, but it is super good for a lot of spaces! I found it works best in bathrooms and on our baseboards! I need to do some more experimenting because it comes with lots of attachments I haven't tried. 


Things Making Me Happy This Week

1. This pulled pork recipe. It's the first time I made it, and it was such a winner. Blake went back for 3rds (he rarely does seconds) and we still had plenty leftover. 

2. Sneaky Sasquatch. Do you play games on your tablet or phone? I never really have, but I'm having such a good time playing this cute game!

3. My car radio. The head unit in my CRV has been broken for *years* now, and Blake was able to replace it for me! We had been quoted something like $1200 for a professional to do it, which was extremely unappealing. He found a great option on Crutchfield, and after lots of Youtube videos and some help from his dad, it's in! It works awesome now, and I can't believe I went so long without music in the car. Car Play is exquisite, haha.

4. Healthy Pugs! Winston and Bailey had their annual check up with our vet this week. Both of them got good reports, and that's always a relief. As you know, we had a rough pet year last year, and I have a little bit of anxiety when it comes to vets/vet offices. We switched to a mobile vet and it has been stellar. It's more expensive, but being able to do this in our own home has helped me so much! The dogs are way less stressed without a car ride, and there is no overstimulating waiting room. I'm less stressed without all that too, and I'm so grateful this kind of service exists!

I might be late to the party, but I am obsessed with this line of protein bars! All of the favors are like eating a candy bar - so so good.  



I recently did a 'move out' cleaning for a client of mine, and I knew the dishwasher was going to need some serious help. I didn't want to clean the whole thing by hand, so I took a chance and bought this Finish dishwasher cleaner. When I tell you the dishwasher SPARKLED. I loved it so much, I bought one for me and am currently using it in my dishwasher now. You just peel the top sticker off, place upside down in the bottom dishwasher rack, and run your dishwasher on a long hot cycle. It's awesome. 

FYI I did personally scrub some of the nooks and crannies and washed the filter before using this cleaner, so I'm not sure how it would work just throwing it in without any prep at all. 


A friend of mine let me borrow her Demalogica face mist when we were on vacation together, because she knew I'd love it. I used it for a few days, and was so impressed I ordered it immediately. The difference this mist has made in my skin is undeniable. It hydrates, but also firms everything up almost instantly. I have decent skin, but I've been wanting to do something about my fine lines in my forehead. I feel like this has made a huge difference!

One | Guest Room Switch Up

Last year we did a room switcheroo and changed up our home office and guest room. I was very happy with how the guest room turned out, but decided to make some changes recently. We've had a few house guests, and are going to be hosting a lot going into 2025, so some practical adjustments needed to be made. In the best case scenario I would have done a different layout all together, but the TV and bookshelves are mounted on the opposite wall making it a big deal to change. Anyway, long story short I opened up more floor space by moving the bed, selling the bench, and adding a wall mirror instead of a leaning full length mirror. I don't think I'm done in here yet - but for now this is what it looks like!


Two | Cade & Jaira's Wedding

Two of our friends got married last weekend! It was such a gorgeous wedding, and we were honored to be there. There were a lot of sweet touches, and the dancing was a blast. My cousin's wife did the florals, and they were exquisite. The wedding was at the Casa Marina hotel in Jacksonville - such a cool venue! My brother in law was the officiant/groomsman and my sister was a bridesmaid (they introduced the couple so that was really sweet).

I shared my outfit in this post. LOVED wearing this jumpsuit. My mom's dress below needs it's own shoutout! It's the same one I wore on our Alaskan cruise for formal night, in a different color. 








Three | Pug Slippers

These were a gift from my Aunt! She has always been my inspiration with gift giving. She's so thoughtful, and finds the most fun things. These slippers are the cutest, and obviously the perfect gift for me.

Happy Thursday Friends! Getting this post up a little late, but hey, it's still Thursday! 

One | Love Spell

After not wearing any perfume for years really, I felt like changing it up. Most fragrances give me a headache, but I still want to smell good, so it's kinda tricky. I wore Love Spell in High School, and got super nostalgic and bought a bottle. Isn't it just amazing how a scent can take you right back to a moment in time?!

This week we were supposed to be closing on the sale of our house, but looks like we are going to be a little bit delayed! Lots of hurry-up-and-waiting happening around here. We've been working like dogs to get the final repairs and touch ups done! Another headache was that my debit card was frozen due to fraudulent charges...then we both ended up with colds, so yeah it's been a week.

Getting this post up quite late on Thursday, but it still counts! What a weird week, and I think this random post reflects that well. Between selling our house, work, and all of the craziness in between I've decided to make a conscious effort to focus on the positive and the little things that are going well!

Hello everyone and happy Thursday! 

One | This water bottle!! I'm so excited about it. My sister in law asked me to make her a water bottle with the lines on it with water drinking goals. I have been on the hunt for months-but couldn't find the perfect water bottle. It needed to be big enough, but also translucent enough to see the liquid inside. But, also economical too.

This week it seemed like all of my packages arrived on the same day! Definitely got some exciting things, and I thought I'd use today's Thursday Three post to share. I'm going to try really hard to freeze extra spending for the next few months as we move, so the excitement of these deliveries is going to have to last me a while!

One | Snapscara 
I'm always hunting for great drugstore makeup! Allie recommended Snapscara, and I picked up a bottle on my last Walmart run. It was less than $6 and it's an excellent mascara! The wand is different from any other mascara I've used, but it works really well and lasts all day long with zero flakes.

File this under something I didn't know I needed until I got them! Blake has some of these wireless earbuds and he loves them. Amazon ran a deal of the day on them and asked me if I wanted a pair for running. Funnily enough, I haven't worn them running yet, but I LOVE them for everyday use. They are great for wearing around the house and listening to audiobooks. I also love the fun case that they fit in for charging.

One | A Week Away
I cannot begin to express how much we needed a getaway! We, like most people, are not used to staying put. We normally have several trips planned throughout a year, and we are very grateful we got to take one last big trip before the world turned upside down. The last 6 months have taken it's toll though! We have loved being at home, but there are still stressors at home.

I've been sharing my monthly Grove orders for the past few months, but I didn't need anything in August so you didn't see a post this past month. Imagine how shocked I was to see a box on my porch! Grove sent me their new fall line to review! It's embarrassing how giddy I was opening this box! Everything in this collection is just stunning. I love the copper details and all the fall scents. Especially the Apple Crisp dish and hand soap. We might be a long way from fall temperatures here, but this definitely got me excited!

One | What an interesting week! 
It's been one for the books. We've been dealing with a little health situation and also trying to make plans for the future this week. There is nothing like your health that puts things into perspective! Everything will be fine and I'm not worried about things working out because they always do.

One | At Home Pedicures
I've been painting my own nails forever, but it's still nice to go and have a real pedicure. I was already saving pedicures for special occasions, but even more so now. But, my feet were begging for a pedicure! I picked up a few supplies at Walmart, and gave myself an at home pedicure. Complete with soaking my feet in warm soapy water. It was so relaxing and my feet honestly ended up just as soft and groomed as when I go to the salon. The only thing missing is the foot massage, but hey, this was still a simple, cheap treat.

Impulse buy? Definitely! When I saw this Chick Fil A Polynesian Sauce at Walmart I just had to get it. They were also selling their signature Chick Fil A Sauce on the same display. Not the most healthy condiment, but super fun to recreate take out at home. Amazon has this sauce available, but the price is much higher than what I found at Walmart in store.

I've been having the strangest year with my hair! Everytime I'm out in the sun my hair gets lighter. That's kind of how it's always been, but in the last year my hair just wants to lighten to a very red-orange blonde color. I've dyed it a couple of time to get it back to a normal darker color. I decided to try using a purple shampoo meant to take out brassiness and it's been helping a lot! I don't mind it getting lighter, I just don't want that horrible brassy color! 

And this Loreal is a whopping $7, so totally worth a try!
