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.

The counter tops are quartz and also from Home Depot, as well as the tiling…

These days of quarantine have brought many challenges both big and small. I know we’re all going stir crazy and struggling to come up with new ways to spend our time at home (assuming you have that luxury). For my husband and I, the thing we miss most is date night. We used to go out for dinner and/or an activity every Friday night no matter what! We’re now coming up with ideas at home, the favorite so far being a tea party! This was super easy. I put together a makeshift set-up using pieces I had at home. All are vintage or old aside from the tiger plates. I’m…
