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.
The 38 Best Holiday Nails to Close out the Year
Getting your nails done is one of those things that gives a woman a little sumthin sumthin, you know what I mean? There’s nothing like having a fresh manicure, whether it’s acrylic, gel, powder or even press on nails. You can be so creative and this holiday I would challenge you to really get into the spirit of the holidays and try some fun colors or designs.
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.
