For Christmas I received a cute and useful pair of black earmuffs + headphones from my husband’s family. I really like them =)! Not only do they keep my ears warm, they also allow me to listen to my favorite songs on-the-go. The description states they are compatible with any standard 3.5mm jack socket. They …
Global Amici
Recently I bought a terrific tiered canister from Gilt by Global Amici. I use it to store holiday candy. Everything is kept well-protected and sealed. I really love it! It’s an attractive design too. I initially wished they had the four tiered available during that sale but the three tiered has proven to be fine. …
Round A Belt
While walking around The Container Store one Saturday, I lifted my gaze and spotted the perfect belt organizer to suit my needs. It was the Round A Belt organizer by Evriholder Products LLC. I wish I had known about this holder years ago! I normally wear belts to adjust my jeans but over the years …
Cotswold Dream Cottage
What a sweet little cottage decoration to add a touch of the English countryside to your garden! It’s crafted by American artisans and hand-cast using a fiber reinforced concrete which is expected to be able to endure virtually any climate. It even has a removable roof; just darling =). One word of warning, it’s a …
Two Holiday Favorites… Kinkade & Redlin Arts
Card-writing has become just a little bit more fun with my discoveries of Thomas Kinkade and Terry Redlin… along with those classic jingles, a mug of warm spicy tea, candlelight, and a large table to spread out and work. I really envy their artistic skills! Have you seen how gorgeous Kinkade’s and Redlin’s cards are? …
My Renewed Love of Incense
When I think of incense, I’m transported back to the boardwalk of Seaside Heights, New Jersey and the like. I know, not your typical religious temple or exotic, mysterious, dimly lit setting with Persian rugs… My favorite brands are Nag Champa, Nippon Kodo, and Song of India Temple (here I’m inserting a shameless plug for …
A Beach Cottage Getaway…
Lately I’ve been under a lot of stress from a family project I took on and feel that I had emotionally missed a good part of the summer with all the chaos and bustle. Even earlier (during the last part of 2011) and before the onset of this project, I had found inspiration in shells …
My Favorite Gardening Supplies…
I’m sorry I meant to post about my favorite gardening supplies (not all are necessities, some are frivolities) a lot sooner than this. Well here we go… Sphagnum moss cone-shaped hanging planters Lined metal scrollwork window boxes Trowel Spade Weeding fork & dandelion weeder Bulb planter Mister Gardening shears/clippers Flower/Rose cutters MiracleGro Plantone (fertilizer for …
They’re Back… Muji’s Amazing Touchscreen Gloves!
I bought a pair of black wool mix unisex touchscreen gloves last year from Muji (also well-known for their awesome acrylic storage) and totally loved them for their warmth, softness, non-itchiness (which woolen products are notoriously known for), and touchscreen capability! How awesome; no more having to take off my winter gloves to text on …
Another Nifty Invention: Facial Shield
A few years ago while visiting Long Island, I happened upon a beauty supply store and found a facial shield that I thought my mom would like. She ended up using this shield daily to protect her eyes from all that hairspray. A few months ago, my freshly cut French styled bangs were annoying me …
