I don’t differentiate between seasonal or day/night scents. To me preference will always supersede trends. Here is a playful medley of my new favorites… While browsing at my favorite Anthropologie, a tube of Library of Flowers‘ Arboretum caught my eye, but didn’t make a purchase until my visit to New York Botanical Garden weeks later …
Hummingbird Books & Websites
Along the way I’ve discovered several amazing books and websites regarding hummingbirds and wanted to share… The Sibley Guide to Birds by David Allen Sibley Hummingbirds of North America: The Photographic Guide by Steve N.G. Howell The Secret Lives of Hummingbirds by David Wentworth Lazaroff The Complete Book …
Hummingbird Garden with Perennials & Annuals
I started gardening in 2004, creating a perennial raised-bed garden (always remember that raised beds need extra watering!). When my husband and I returned from our Cape May trip early June, after discovering the presence of hummingbirds, I decided to read more on the topic (a resource post will follow this one). Transforming my old …
Hummingbird Care
It’s been my pleasure to be our hummingbirds’ (Scout, Honey, Tibolt, Lili, +?) temporary guardian until their return to the South. I like to believe that Westchester NY is home and the Carolinas, Florida, or Mexico are their version of a holiday ;) This year I began putting out feeders in the beginning of June …
Hummingbird Care: Ant Guards
I’m posting this segment slightly out of order but my take on hummingbird care is soon to follow. I have fortunately not needed this form of ant guard due to the type of nectar feeder I’ve been using. I do however use Aspects 384 Nectar Guard Tips, pictured last below, over the individual feeding ports …
Potpourri & Diffusers
I’m starting to get back into using potpourri and diffusers around my house. It’s a very simple way to dress up parts of your home, create themes/a desired ambiance, and freshen up stale air. Below are some of my favorites; what are some of yours?… Hillhouse Naturals Altru Gamillah Voluspa D.L. & Co. Bath & …
Scout & Honey: Our First Temporary Residents
We have 2 daily regulars (1 male ruby-throated “Scout” & 1 female ruby-throated “(Honey)suckle”). First sighting of Spring 2014 was the last week of May 2014 when I put 1 nectar feeder up (my old Perky Pet for window-view). Wish I could remember the exact date the feeder went up but the first day I …
Sally Beauty’s DCNL Hair Accessories
I haven’t written on this topic for quite a while. Hair accessories… love them!.. and something that you can never have too much of ;). Every once in a while I’ll find myself wandering the beauty aisles and find something blog-worthy, like Sally Beauty Supply DCNL’s both pretty and handy-to-have hair accessories. I’m normally a …
It’s High Tea Time!
I had long dreamed of having High Tea at a special place like New York Hudson Valley’s The Equus, so when Valentine’s Day had rolled around (this was a few years back) and I learned that my husband was bringing us there for afternoon tea, I was none-other-than ecstatic! The following is most likely what …
FitwearUSA
I’m a big fan of discount vouchers e.g. Groupon, Deal Chicken, Amazon Local, Living Social, and the like. Recently I discovered that one of my vouchers had long expired =(… Naturally I was upset and had no one to blame but myself. I was determined to at least get in contact with Deal Chicken or …
