By Samantha
A refinished dresser to that has made the furniture look like wood again!

R efinishing furniture has to be one of those things that people either love or hate. I'm certainly not sitting here pretending I love it by any means. What I will sit here and tell you is that the price of refinishing pre-loved pieces is something I can get behind. Generally, it's a heck of […]

By Samantha

I 'll go ahead and start this off on the right foot – I need to call myself out. Epic birthday party decor is something I do for myself; few people truly appreciate the lengths most of the time. I, however, appreciate every little detail more than most. For example, my daughter and husband would […]

Did anyone know dried lavender costs eight million Did anyone know dried lavender costs eight million dollars?! Where have I been hiding??! I saw a beautiful huge vessel with lavender in it and wanted to replicate it in my home. 
Turns out dried lavender is insanely expensive so I settled for the small vessel and decided it deserves to be on its own pedestal.
Fridays are my days to get stuff done and the one Fridays are my days to get stuff done and the one day a week I have ultra poor time management because I think I can do it all 😂. They might also be my favourite days because a lot gets checked off the list!!!

Spoiler alert. I bought ten more of the reusable n Spoiler alert. I bought ten more of the reusable napkins. I literally have zero self restraint. 

I also found the larger sizes basket in store. It doesn’t look remotely like the mini basket I bought online so I’m not sure how is mixed that one up. It’s in my stories today in case you’re curious. 

So obvi you can shop all of this in the LTK app. Linked in my bio. Happy shopping.

I’ve spent several hundreds of dollars and waste I’ve spent several hundreds of dollars and wasted many beverages. Now I have realize I have an unpopular opinion about canned mocktails: I hate them. 

To me, most taste realllly fake or like stevia which really just gets me in a barf-y situation. 

Luckily I am a true problem solver and have my summer bevies of choice: blended up melons along with lime juice and anything else that suits your fancy. Fresh, refreshing, non-stevia and so so good. 

Sloane can attest. She loves the little melon juices I make and always gobbles it up!

When the instructions don’t exist and the amazon When the instructions don’t exist and the amazon description is wrong… never give up? Maybe it’s easier than you think 🤔 

I think that was a lucky scenario with these chenille letters but hey, I’ll take it! Plus isn’t it so cute!!! 

I found the bags in a four pack (different sizes) and each letter comes in four colours! 

An easy gift and who doesn’t love a good monogram situation. 

Material linked in my amazon storefront. 

PS - 8 letter names do not fit on the big bag it maxes out at 7. And yes I learned this the hard way.

Excuse my out of breath Target haul. It’s the be Excuse my out of breath Target haul. It’s the best I can do these days. 

But now you’re wondering, how does a Canadian get so many Target goodies to their home. I’m letting you in on my secrets: 

One - I’m close to a border. So I’ll drive to target once a month ish. Two - If there’s something I really want, I will have it delivered to a parcel receiving service that’s close to the border and zip across to grab it. 
Three - There are companies you can use - like cross border services that will bring your packages across for a fee (never used it but have heard good things)!

For the safety of your marble, stone, or tile, don For the safety of your marble, stone, or tile, don’t drill into it - especially not to hang a print you’ll probably swap out seasonally. There’s always another solution and let’s go that route mmmmmk? Good. 

Removable hanging strips linked in my Amazon shop and on my LTK. 

I should also set the record straight before I get in trouble - my husband would not be down with drilling into our backsplash 😂. 

Glad that’s cleared up!
