How to Make Your Home Smell Amazing
Last month I started on a serious mission: make my house smell good. No, I don’t mean I burn a nice candle, I want the real deal. I want people to walk in the house and note how good it smells. I want being in my home to be a more pleasurable experience because of the scent. This is serious stuff…serious adulting stuff because even five years ago I wouldn’t have given a fig about this. Here I am though all domesticated and saving up for wallpaper and making my own Christmas wreaths and evidently making my house smell like fond memories. When I started this endeavor, I just researched…

Hello, spooky season! It’s that time of the year where you eat too much candy, watch all the Halloween flicks, visit pumpkin patches, drink PSLs and the list goes on. What feeds your brain though?

The Ultimate Halloween Sweater Guide
As a Halloween sweater enthusiast, I have learned over the years that there are a few key places to look for Halloween sweaters. Sure, you’ll find some cute options at stores like Kohls, Marshalls, TJMaxx, etc., but if you really want to dazzle this Halloween, there are some retailers you need to get familiar with. There are two stores in particular that I believe to be the holy grail of sweaters, and the first of the two is Unique Vintage. The entire site is currently 20% off with code KBYE, so it’s the perfect time to shop. AND they actually have a lot of their sweaters still in stock or…
Kitchen Update
I know this is waaaay overdue and I apologize to everyone that has been waiting for this and wanting full links. I’ve finally done it though! I’m linking everything I can in the kitchen, which is quite a lot of it. There are some things I wasn’t able to link. The kitchen cabinets are shaker style from Home Depot. The paint color is by Benjamin Moore, although I’m unsure which color. If anyone is very serious about knowing the exact shade, throw me a comment and I’ll do some better digging to figure it out. The counter tops are quartz and also from Home Depot, as well as the tiling…
How to Make Spicy Pickles
Ever since Dave and I started to make our own pickles and share about it on Instagram, I’ve had so many people messaging me about how to make them. Guys, it is so easy! Like, the ease will blow your mind. This can be done with store bought cucumbers, of course, but I highly recommend you contemplate your own cucumber plant for next season. They’re really easy to take care of and ours produced soooo much this year. We’ve had way more cucumbers than we needed. The refrigerator is stocked with pickles! So, here it is in all it’s simple glory. This recipe is my personal favorite, which is for…
