23 Things that Gave Me Life This Season – The Last of the Year
It’s almost the end of the year. Can you believe it? This year went by so fast and I feel like I did not complete all of my goals for the year. How about you? I’m looking at my vision board that I made at the beginning of the year and I have to say, there are a few things I did not do, like traveling to nearby states for long weekends and really leaning into a healthy lifestyle with exercise and a healthy diet.
Mug Love – 23 of my Favorite Coffee Mugs
Does anybody else get coffee mugs that fit their moods? I call this Mug Love. I’m a coffee girl through and through and I like to have a big substantial mug that warms my hands when I’m drinking and also gives me options depending on what mood I’m in. I’ve listed some of my favorite mugs from across the web. Etsy is still my favorite site for pottery and ceramics so most of them are from there because my Etsy Love is epic.
5 Holiday Bars You Should Visit This Year
Holiday Bar pop-ups always looked like so much fun but I never made time to actually go. Pop-ups are when an establishment either turns over their venue to an outside company to host a special event or the establishment hosts a special event outside of the norm. This year I made it a point to visit some recommended holiday bars and I have listed some of the highlights of my visits. I hope you will be able to go to at least one this year. You’ll thank me later.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
