Men’s watches aren’t just for men! When styled correctly, a woman can easily rock a men’s watch with her outfit this holiday season. The watch featured in this outfit is from Invaluable, one of the largest online market auctions. They auction jewelry, fine and decorative arts, antiques, collectibles and estate sales. I recommend you check it… Continue reading Holiday Attire: Styling a Men’s Watch on a Woman
I don’t know if this is insanely creative or insanely dumb, but for one 9-5 workday period this week, I wrote down what I was thinking each hour. And, as a bonus, I took a selfie (with my iPhone…please excuse the low-quality photos). Weird, I know. But then again, maybe it’s not. This post gives you… Continue reading A Day in December Brain Dump
No turkey tablecloths. No football. No pouring over the Black Friday ads. And, most importantly, no glitter pumpkin decor. This was when Thanksgiving was weird. On October 3, 1863 the nation was knee-deep in blood. President Abraham Lincoln released what came to be known as the beginning of an annual tradition of presidential Thanksgiving proclamations.… Continue reading When Thanksgiving Was Weird
There’s an overflowing box of wigs and random costume pieces in my parents’ basement. You’d think it would be from my brother and I’s elementary school days–but mostly it’s not. I really like costumes and so does my family. I don’t know how many times I’ve gone to a movie premier in loosely based character… Continue reading Individuality
Recently I received a starter for Amish Friendship Bread from a church friend. It has been years since I’ve made this bread, so I was pretty excited! This bread is known for being super good and also, like most delicious foods, super high in calories. For those days I don’t want to splurge a ton… Continue reading Lighter Amish Friendship Bread
DISCO DANCE PARTY!!! What’s better than dancing the night away to glorious mainstream music? Absolutely nothing! Grab a group of your girl and guy friends, blare some Taylor Swift, break out the party lights and there’s your perfect Friday night. Plus, as an added bonus, dancing is your cardio for the day. Sadly this was… Continue reading Last Friday Night
I cannot think of a more relaxing way to spend a Sunday afternoon then painting pumpkins. Painting pumpkins is seriously therapeutic! After a loaded Friday and Saturday schedule, I needed a little chill, artsy time. My mom is having a pumpkin decorating contest at the library where she works, and so these beauties are being… Continue reading Two Ways to Decorate Pumpkins
Guys, I have a confession. I’m often…late. Or if it’s a good morning, running exactly on time. Most people set their clocks fast to ensure they get ready on time—right? Well not this girl. I have come to the awful realization that the clock in my bathroom is *gasp* slow! I do not know how… Continue reading Watches: A Must-Have Fashion Accessory
Who doesn’t enjoy a classic snickerdoodle cookie? So how about a classic cookie with a twist?! I was gifted a giant jar of apple butter from my brother and so began my journey of pursuing Pinterest for apple butter baking recipes. (I will use any excuse to get on Pinterest.) I found a recipe I… Continue reading Apple Butter Snickerdoodles
I looked around Huntington University’s auditorium and said, “Wow! It shrunk!” I stood there chatting with an old cheer friend. It was homecoming and a sprinkling of alumni were back to watch the Davis Hall Follies—a talent/Huntington based humor show. He was the first to point out the space difference and, after glancing around the… Continue reading Perspective
