Bedroom Refresh: From Dark to Light
In the wintertime, I’m enamored with thick, heavy, enveloping covers to snuggle under, accompanied by a steaming hot drink (white hot chocolate? yes please!).

Emerald Green for St. Patricks Day
Wishing you all a bit of luck and happiness for St. Patricks (a day late *^_^*), and throughout the year! I didn’t celebrate the holiday with drinking or pinching (hmmm, J didn’t wear green… I could have pinched him..!), but I did show my spirit by wearing green. I’ve seen shiny green beads, green furry
