Bath and Body Works With Bridgerton Collection Haul

When the whole Bath and Body Works With Bridgerton collection was released, I was excited. While I’m not the biggest fan of Bridgerton, I love to look at products inspired by the Netflix series. I wanted to see the whole collection in person and decide which ones I want to own. Unfortunately, there weren’t many products (Such as candles, wallflowers, ect.) I wanted to purchase. Instead, I purchased two candle holders and a PocketBac holder from the collection.

Home Goods Valentine’s Day Rae Dunn Ceramic Decor 2024

Every holiday season, Rae Dunn releases new products. This Valentine’s Day, it is no different. What is different though, is I was able to find Rae Dunn decor at a new Home Goods store! I really enjoyed finding anything Valentine’s Day inspired by Rae Dunn there. They are different than what I normally see at Marshall’s, which is where I normally shop at.

So, I Have a Mistletoe In My Trees Problem…

Yes, you read that right. I have mistletoes in my trees. This is a serious thing for me because mistletoe is actually a parasite that will eventually kill the tree. The mistletoe have been there for a while (AKA longer than I feel comfortable commenting about online) and I’m very worried about the trees. So… I decided to fight it.

As of this post, I have six trees in my yard with mistletoe. All the infected trees are Ironwood trees. I already cut the branches with mistletoes off three trees. (I decided to cut the branches off the trees before trying other methods of getting rid of mistletoe. I have seen branch removal work in the past. Plus, the trees needed to get pruned anyway.) Two of the trees are doing really well and don’t show any further problems.

Here is a photograph of one of the mistletoe infected branches I cut off one of the trees…

Marshall’s Valentine’s Day Pillows 2024

While shopping at Marshall’s, I found a lot of Valentine’s Day pillows for sale. I’m not searching for throw pillows this year, but I really like looking at them anyway. This year’s Valentine’s Day pillows were really cute. Even though I didn’t purchase any of the pillows, seeing them give me ideas on what I want kind of throw pillows I can use in the future.

Home Goods Valentine’s Day Decor 2024 Part 2

In a previous post, I talked about shopping at a new-to-my-area Home Goods and seeing this year’s Valentine’s Day decorations. There were so many decorations I liked that I decided to split any photos I took of them into two posts. For this post, I want to focus on all the decor that didn’t fit into the theme of the first post.

Home Goods Valentine’s Day Decor 2024 Part 1

In 2023, a new Home Goods location opened near me! I still need to drive a way to get to it, but it is much closer than other Home Goods locations! Even though the store is closer to me, I didn’t get to frequently shop there until 2024.

One of the first seasonal decor I found available at Home Goods is the Valentine’s Day decorations. I’ve seen Home Goods seasonal decor many times in the past, but this was the first time I saw it in this location. I was really happy to see it, so I took photographs of all the decorations that caught my eye. I ended up taking so many photographs that I was able to split it between two different posts. For this post, I decided to focus on tabletop decor.

Marshall’s Valentine’s Day Decorations 2024

Valentine’s Day is coming soon! This year, Valentine’s Day has come both too fast and too slowly for me. I haven’t decorated my house for it yet!

Even though my house is not decorated for Valentine’s Day, I found a lot of pretty and cute home decor for this romantic holiday. I enjoyed looking at many stories for decorations this year. One of the first stores I usually shop at for holiday decorations is Marshall’s. The Marshall’s I usually shop at didn’t have many things available to browse, but I did see some very cute decorations!

Things I Recently Purchased for My House and Why- January 2024

For many years, I have wanted to make improvements in my house. Despite the fact most of the improvements are not something I can do myself (I don’t have the time, energy, know how, I need more people than just me to work on it, ect.) I am focusing on all the things I can do myself. This includes purchasing new things for the house!

For this post, I wanted to stick to the things I know for a fact I am currently using and am happy with. I have other things I purchased for the house, such as a cube bookcase for my closet, but I haven’t used them or they didn’t work out the way I planned them to. So, I decided not to talk about those things in this post.

5 Tips on Shabby Chic Christmas Decor

For the past few years, possibly more, it has become trendy to decorate for Christmas in a shabby chic style. I always loved shabby chic home decor. When I found this trend, I began to wonder how to buy this style of decor that would fit in with my own. Over the years, I developed some self made rules about what this trend looks like to me. This also helped me decide on what looked good with my already existing decor.

I don’t know of any official rules for this style of decor. So, I decided to write a post about my own tips for when buying this style of Christmas decor. Like with all decorations, there really isn’t any set rules. Still, I hope these five tips help anyone looking for ideas on how to find Christmas decor in a shabby chic style!

Painting the Bathroom has Begun!

I am finally began to paint the bathroom! One coat of paint on some of the walls, sore muscles from stretching, and an almost ruined pair of leggings later, the bathroom no longer looks so yellow. Instead, it is starting to look like the white-with-a-very-light-blue-hue paint color I picked. It is also starting to look really nice.

As of this post, I am starting to need a break from painting. My body just needs some time off to rest. Also, I have too many chores around the house that I have been neglecting. I wanted to paint the whole bathroom within a week, but since I am doing it by myself and I have other things to do during the day, I haven’t spent more than two hours painting the room. This is why progress has been slow. Also, I realized the paint in the bathroom has worn off so much there are sections of the drywall that are starting to absorb the first layer of paint.

Still, I am optimistic. After seeing the color I picked for the walls (An extremely light blue, almost white shade to complement the yellows in the tiles and other things in the bathroom) I really liked it! To me, it makes the bathroom look a lot cleaner and lighter. It still has the original yellow hues, but the paint complements it.

Even though I am frustrated the painting is going slowly, I am excited about the way the bathroom will look like. I don’t have any other plans to decorate it differently than it was prior to painting the walls. Once I’m done painting the walls, and the linen closet shelves, I will be done with the bathroom! Then, I need to decide what to work on next. The problem is I don’t know what to work on next. The kitchen needs paint help. So does the laundry room. Then again, I could just enjoy the newly painted bathroom and work on the rest of the house later. I just need to wait to see what I feel like (And can afford) to do next.

That’s all for now! Thank you for reading!
